Four Adelitas, Herbcrafter's Tarot

Here we are at the Full Harvest Moon, appropriately in the sign of Aries this year, the warrior / activist. With all the upheaval in the world today, it’s a fine time for each of us to identify and activate our own inner Adelita, in the language of the Herbcrafter’s Tarot.

If you’ve been working with this deck, you know that the Adelitas correspond to the Knights in traditional tarot decks. In the Herbcrafter’s Tarot book, Latisha Guthrie writes: “The Adelitas approach adventures with conviction and righteousness. They call us to a time of drive and fortitude. They are the warriors of the elements, showing us how to defend and serve. As guides, they offer us the gift of activism.”

I hope the Adelitas inspire you to take a stand for the cause of your heart. Remember that your style of activism doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. You have a style all your own. Let the Adelitas guide you.
