F*ck the cultural expectations


This morning I pulled The Devil. For me this card is about being drawn to and embracing things that don’t serve us like — shaming: self-shaming and believing the shame inflicted by others and especially our culture of shame. I am invoking the “In the World, Not of the World” oracle card. Cultural expectations are fluid and sometimes evil. Our culture once thought it was desirable to enslave people. That, in my mind, is all I need to know about the validity of cultural expectations.
