Make A Little Sacrifice And Get a Little Boon

A Tarot Template

Since working on The Whispering Siren archetype, I’ve been immersed in all things related to that creature. I have just finished my first playthrough of The Witcher 3 and was mentioning the Sirens in the game in the first part of the Whispering Siren. I watched The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. And because I am kind of obsessed, I rewatched the Netflix show.

I was struck by Freya Allen’s rendering of this beautiful song during the end credits of one of the episodes. This song refers to the things that happen in Sirens of the Deep. You can listen to it here:

I also just finished reading Psyche and Eros by Luna McNamara. While there were some things that bothered me in the book, I came away with the often retold idea of mortals having to sacrifice something to get a boon from the gods. Although in this retelling, Eros also has to sacrifice something as well.

All of this - and my ongoing quest to connect with divine archetypal energies - inspired me to create a tarot template to explore some of these ideas.
