In this week's episode, Mel and Alyssa reimagine some of the most commonly held beliefs and myths surrounding the Eight of Swords. They explore the relationship between internal and external barriers to growth, and how internalized oppression and cycles of abuse can blur the line between the two. Through all of their usual tangents and distractions, the Dames are able to explore the true depths of this Minor Arcana card.Arcane Dames Socials:The Arcane Dames Podcast (@arcanedames) • Instagram photos and videosThe Arcane Dames Podcast - YouTubeJoin our mailing list to stay updated on new episodes & projects:https://linktr.ee/arcanedamesFollow Mel:@melofwands Instagram & TikTokMel Of WandsFollow Alyssa:@cooperative_magic Instagram@cooperativemagic TikTokCooperative Magic
