Rise, ye witches!
The witch is rescued from oppression by her union with the lustful demonic forces summoned through witchcraft; they lift her into the air before a cross. There are no nails or binds to restrain her because she is not tortured by her Eros, her desire, but accepts it fully. Whereas others may crucify her for it, she rises, liberated through it. She is effortless in her ascent and has turned a tool of torture and execution into a tool of pleasure.
Divinatory Meaning
Invoking Intemperance is a very potent and powerful thing. There is a balance that is achieved when you find that middle ground between too little and too much. At either end, we can become drained so we must level out, calm ourselves, and regain control. You aren’t bothered by petty drama or the little things in life that pester most people. This gives you an edge in dealing with things with clarity and patience. When things seem to be in turmoil you are the one who maintains peace, adapts, and reinstills harmony. You like to surround yourself with diverse people of many talents, experiences, and abilities for no agenda but to enrich each other’s lives. Like a witch’s potion, you know how to mix different elements, whether it is people or ingredients, to create amazing things. You are enjoying the process and you are learning new and interesting things. Your soul is fulfilled and the manifestation of your desires is becoming a reality.
Banished Intemperance
Banishing Intemperance adds nails to the cross. You are bound to Eros rather than in harmony with it. Excess is a regular aspect of your life and you must get it under control. Too much will require total abstinence to overcome and no one wants that. Your balance is rocking back and forth, about to fall on one side or the other, but it isn’t too late to make the necessary changes, to take control of your vices, and to realign yourself with your higher purpose. Focus on priorities that are going to bring you long-term success rather than short-term pleasure. You may need to take time to heal from addiction or bad habits. Intemperance banished may be a cry for help to change your life situation in some way because something or someone is out of sync.
