Witch Wednesdays

Today I'm joined by author Cherry Parra to chat all about a different side of tarot.

The Left-Hand Path of Tarot offers the perspective of the outsiders, the outcasts, the marginalized, the nonconforming, and all who live on the fringes of what society labels as “civilized,” “acceptable,” or “canon.” Cards with a negative reputation, like The Tower or The Devil, acquire a completely new layer of meaning that has extensive and relevant shadow-work applications and extremely practical advice in matters that are often frowned upon by spiritualists, such as kink, self-branding, monetization, body transformation, glamour, and self-defense.

The Left-Hand Path of Tarot suggests a paradigm shift for tarot archetypes that goes beyond classic interpretation of the major arcana. It’s the chaos, subversion, and alchemy of the self in the left-hand path of tarot that challenges social norms and leads you to explore the deepest parts of your soul. It is the torch that lights the fire through which we must all walk in order to transcend and achieve the highest victory a human being can aspire to complete: self-love.

Cherry Parra is a Mexican left-hand path witch residing in Mexico. She majored in Hispanic literature and has an innate and inherited connection to the occult practices—Parra’s magic stems from a matriarchal lineage of healers. Her great-grandmother was a witch, a curandera (traditional folk healer) from Oaxaca in southern Mexico, who people in the community would turn to when they needed healing in matters of the body and spirit. Cherry’s life mission is to shine a light on the uncomfortable truths most people like to ignore. The shadows are her second home and greatest teachers. Cherry lives and maintains a closed spiritual practice in Mexico from where she reads tarot for a select international clientele that includes artists, creatives, and visionaries.

I’m joined today by fan favorite author Lee Morgan to discuss his newest work, The Rag and Bone Man. This book has a 'head, heart, and hands' component that looks at the Victorian Age and Spiritualism and its relationship with witchcraft, from a research angle, from a creative writing angle, and finally from a practical grimoire one.

Rag & Bone Man by Lee Morgan
Who comes meandering along your street in the dawn hours. He’s looking for old things that still have a bit of fat left in them, including off-cuts of the dreams of outsiders. If you decide to stop and talk to him, he will tell you the old tales of how to tease out the teeming world of spirits that bulges behind our reality. The Rag & Bone Man’s uncanny narrative, bookended with historical context and a grimoire inspired by the novel, bridges the gap between old ideas and new paradigms with a watchful eye focused on historical biases.
