New tarot card! This time, it's for a show that just reached 17 seasons, if you can believe that- Murdoch Mysteries!

And here is Llewellyn Watts, as the Page of Wands.

Now- the obligatory explanation (in broken english, yay, how lucky!) for those who are interested!

Upright, this card is the symbol of a free spirit, guided by their inspirations and ideas. I do feel like it fits our one and only Watts- never really fitting the mould of societal conveniences, but always following his inner self. It's also a card for limitless potential, often in the form of creative restlessness, which again- he does have, and the show should ~really~ explore that more. Overall, it means you embrace the opportunity to start out a new journey, without necessarily having a solid plan in place or even knowing where you are headed- but you are excited and intrigued about the possibilities. For a character always searching for himself, well-

All of that, with the advice to try and filter your thoughts, sometimes. Especially when you're talking. Even if we all love Detective Your-Wife-Is-Not-Pretty Watts.

Reversed, the card can mean that the consultant is being held back by limiting beliefs- such as, well, for Watts, the rules of the society he lives in. Which is why the card is ponctuated with references to current or future instance of homophobia and antisemitism in Canada. On the other side, Llewellyn can also represent (as would William and many other characters of the show!) someone carrying newly-formed ideas, that can have been tampered by obstacles and opposition. The card can also mean that you tried many new projects, which did not worked as you had hoped... and isn't that the story of his life?

Overall, this is a card deeply linked with someone engaging or trying to engage in a spiritual journey to discover themself. A free spirit who can't, and who should not submit the the limiting beliefs of the society around.

It was so fun to do, eh! The wand is not really supposed to be a wand, sure, but I feel like Llewellyn is less a wooden-staff-guy than a magic-wand-guy. And sure, the book on Wine and Philosophy or the Pretzel in the background where not *necessary*, per se, but that's just so- him, and those cards are always about representing the character in the best possible way.

Hope you'll like it!

🫖 P I C K 🎪 A 🎠 C A R D 🍵

Close your eyes. Breathe deep. Step into the colorful circus tent of your imagination, where chaos and wonder meet your intuition. Let them play together to revitalize your inner world. Then pick a card from the Cirque du Tarot.

Will you pick left, center, or right?

If you need more time to find your center and that moment of energized and playful magic, take that time. Find the dark and quiet space within you first. Hear the organ grinder and the laughter of your other selves delighting in the show out there in the distance. Then picture small pin pricks of light springing to life in the darkness. Let those lights merge to form green and golden rolls of silken fabric leading you to a tent of playful possibility. Allow yourself whatever time you need to follow those reams out of the dark fields of your mind and into the light where fun and opportunity (and popcorn) are waiting.

How does that feel? I hope it was grounding but also revitalizing and a little fun.

If you haven’t yet, pick a card (if you want) and read its message in the relevant reveal image.

LEFT: The Hermit

What is it that you’re searching for, deep down in your heart?

In the circus of life, it’s easy to perform introspection or deep inner connection with oneself. But the reality is that we often look outside of ourselves for the answers. You don’t have to. The answer is there within you. Trust that you can lean on your own inner guidance right now.

CENTER: Knight of Pentacles

The gears are already in motion. Just keep pushing ahead.

In this deck, the Pentacles are represented by gears instead of star-kissed coins. It’s a fitting symbol for the suit of workers. And the Knight is the one who can keep that momentum going like no one else. You don’t need to start anything new: the work is underway. It just takes time. You can’t skip that.

RIGHT: 7 of Swords

There’s a consuming fear here in the shadow of the wolf.

You’re hungry for something, yet it’s the one eating you up right now. Not everything is for you. That’s okay. It’s hard to hear. And it’s harder to accept. But it’s actually good. You can release and refocus. You don’t have to fear never having it now that you know it’s not for you anyway.

Mugwort

Artemisia Vulgaris

Known as: Artemis herb, artemisia, artemisia herb, cingulum sancti johannis, felon herb, muggons, naughty man, old man, old uncle Henry, sailor's tobacco & St.John plant

Related plants: A member of the daisy family Asteraceae that consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within it such as chamomile, coneflowers, dahlia, daisy, dandelion, goldenrod, lettuce, marigold & sunflower

Parts used: Leaves & flowers

Habitat & cultivation: Common mugwort is native to Europe and Eastern Asia. Mugwort was brought into North America as early as the 1600’s for medicinal purposes. It spread throughout the Northeastern U.S. as a contaminant on ships and nurseries.

Plant type: Perennial

Region: 3-8

Harvest: The flowering tops of mugwort should be collected once they bloom or right before the blooms open. The leaves of mugwort plants should be collected before the plant flowers. Older leaves & flowers are significantly more bitter

Planting tips: Mugwort seeds can benefit from a special 1 to 2 week treatment called cold moist stratification prior to planting them & need cold weather to break down germination inhibitors. The seeds require light to germinate, so be careful not to cover them when planting. Mugwort does not like to be overwatered & is very drought tolerant. It is also an invasive weed & best kept in a container.

Medicinal information: Historically mugwort has been used in traditional systems of medicine in different parts of the world. Today, mugwort taken orally is promoted for digestive problems, irregular menstruation, and high blood pressure. It is also promoted as a sedative, laxative, anti-inflammatory & liver tonic. Mugwort lotion applied topically can aid in itching caused by hypertrophic scars & When being smoked, it exhibits mild intoxicating properties & strong relaxing properties.

Cautions: Mugwort should not be taken by pregnant people because it may start menstruation and cause the uterus to contract. Little is known about whether it’s safe to use mugwort while chestfeeding. Mugwort might cause an allergic reaction in people with pollen sensitivities
