PRS Tarot Salon presents Strength : The Myth of the Alpha

Strength : The Myth of the Alpha

Strength, also known as Fortitude, Force, and Lust, among other names, has undergone many transformations before taking the form we most commonly know now. As the Leo card, ruled by the Sun, and one of the 4 cardinal virtues, it represents different kinds of strength other than brute force. In the RWS version, Pamela Colman Smith shows the lion already subdued, where many earlier versions depict a fight. It is also one of the four cards that bear the lemniscate, or infinity symbol.

We all have infinite strength within us, especially when we live in connection with the Divine.True strength is not mastery over another but mastery over oneself. And like the tarot itself, it is not an endpoint but a journey and continually unfolding process. This card speaks to how often we misunderstand and mislabel strength. It doesn't scream. It doesn't posture. It just is. And just by being, it is loud all the same.

All levels welcome!

Presenter Bios:

Jenny Ruiz, a lifelong witch, was first drawn to tarot at the age of 8, and grew up reading for friends and family. The name Burning Times has been with her since the age of 19, and she chose it because it's a reminder that there will always be outside forces who are hostile to what we do; to femmes, to seekers, and to anyone considered Other. Though she has taken breaks from social media, she still does events and reads for private clients. One of her greatest joys in life is helping others connect to their own intuition and inner guidance.

Deborah Netburn has been turning to tarot for wisdom and guidance in her own life for over two decades. Largely self-taught, she is excited to gather and learn with other tarot enthusiasts in the LA area who share her love and reverence for the deep symbolic language of the cards.Deborah has had a lifelong fascination with humanity's rich variety of religious and spiritual practices and currently writes about faith, spirituality and joy for the Los Angeles Times.
