A poetic musical episode exploring the forbidden love between the High Priestess and Hierophant tarot archetypes through song and spoken word.
Original TransmissionsThis unique episode presents an artistic interpretation of the relationship between two major tarot arcana through poetry and music. The narrative explores the tension between the High Priestess, keeper of hidden knowledge and lunar mysteries, and the Hierophant, traditional religious authority figure. The story unfolds as a forbidden romance that challenges both figures' established roles - she as the guardian of esoteric wisdom, he as the upholder of orthodox doctrine. The piece suggests that their union represents a dangerous but transformative force that 'rewrote the spine of time,' ultimately leading to the collapse of traditional structures when truth and love collide with established power. The episode concludes with a warning about drawing these cards together in readings, suggesting their combination carries the weight of this ancient, divine affair that the gods themselves couldn't bear.
