Will the United States Elect a Female President?
Witchcraft by ELS Sbordone

The tarot spread used here is called a mission spread. The first row explains what has been accomplished so far. The second row explains what is presently going on. The third row explains what will be accomplished and how it will affect the world around us. I think this is a very important topic to address because for the first time, a female president really is a possibility (that’s Hillary Rodham Clinton, if you don’t already know). Women have come a long way in the world of politics and hopefully, they will follow their way down the yellow brick road and kick the Wizard of Oz’s ass!

When it comes to women taking a lead role in anything but the classroom or the home, it unfortunately creates scandal. The powers that be try to put on a front for the media, but we know how the government works when it comes to hierarchical change. This legacy has slowly begun to prove of little value because women have only been on the rise. By becoming more independent in the working world, there has most definitely been a turning away from the family to some extent. This angers the conservatives because “family values” are big on their platform (not that that has stopped George W.’s daughters from making fools of themselves during his first term). It has made women feel bad for wanting to do more than just be a mother and wife. There have been moments of achievement. Hillary played a big role during and after Clinton’s presidency. She was able to put aside that her husband was an idiot and continue on her way to the Senate. On a side note, philosophically speaking, women have more of a care ethic. That means that fairness, integrity, compassion and a respect for justice is what a woman can bring to the presidency.

There isn’t too much turmoil concerning this issue at the moment, but that is because the next election year isn’t for a while. Women are getting more than what they bargained for. Talk of implementing the draft scared many (poll to follow in the next issue). Women will put up with certain things just to keep things moving, but hopefully, it will not end up slowing things down. Some of the feminist hoopla might become more of a burden to bear than a worthy goal, but we will push forward. People are fickle at this point about whether they would vote for a female president. Voters will be anxious because this would be a first for the country.


I’m quite certain that we will have a female president in the future, but not in the near future. We must learn the value of patience because there will be setbacks in this struggle. Whoever becomes our female president will have a great love of our country. She will not necessarily be loved back. There will be back-stabbing involved from those also in power, but there will be hope for a change in attitude. People will be cynical about how well our country will be run by a woman. Subterfuge is possible.
