Thoughts about Tarot

Last post of the series, with some more practical applications in it.

Well, by now we covered all Major Arcana and their relations to the Tree of Life. While that can be helpful for understanding the Tree, or at the same time understanding Tarot(to be fair for Feng Shui practitioners its also helpful for understanding the wondering stars, in my humble view) there is a little more to it. That comes with the idea of Sequences/Traveling Paths. We covered so far the idea of the Fool, as if he see the belongings he carry as "past life" stuff, we can view t

More cards...

We looked at some cards. By what was done so far, one may have noticed a few tendencies in how the Tree is looked at here. We will expand on that a little, as that is what we need to understand the other cards.   The main idea here is that the right pillar we view as "Community", while the left pillar we view as "Individuality". The cards we connected to the right pillar were The World as a whole, the largest undivided community we know. The Lovers as a creation of ones own f

More Cards and expanding the Tree

As time is running out in more then one context, lets switch to a higher gear and start going through a lot more  cards this time around. We covered the middle pillar, that is the only balanced movement up, that shoots up from the root of the spine the moment we align everything else and gets to as high as it can get(Moon - below the navel, Sun - Solar Plexus/Heart depending on the initiation, Star - pineal gland). That is the only purely balanced move on the Tree, also its very forceful, l

The Tree of Life and the Cards

Lets look at how the Tree of Life was connected to the Major Arcana cards in Grays work. There are also other ways to do that connection out there, as many know already. So we have the Tree and there are many Images of it all over the net. If someone wants to follow along, finding a nice one may be wise so can relate the text to it, I think is wiser if I don't post any, as up to preference at this point. The circles are called Sephirot, as we can see they are arranged in pillars. Left one

The Center and the diminishing Light

In some places before we looked at the idea of a center and domain. Its fun to mention that that idea comes with other ideas as well. The 4 worlds in Kabbalah, and they are very connected to the suits of the cards, can be viewed as a distance from the center. Suggesting the further away one is from the center the less connected they are to how it all arrange itself.   In modern cities we can see it with the capitol and the government buildlings as the center, things there are usually v

Reflections on the Radiant Wise Spirit and Golden Art Nouveau Tarot Decks

Hi everyone - this isn't really a review, but just some thoughts after receiving the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot Deck. It's a very personal view, and I appreciate not everyone will agree. It's also not an attempt to criticise or blame. Please take it in the spirit of positive critique of two very beautiful contemporary RWS-family decks. 🙂   So, it's been a little less than a week since I received my copy of the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot deck, an impulse buy having seen its gorgeous art onl

Book Review: The Esoteric Tarot, by Ronald Decker

This is the second time I've read The Esoteric Tarot by Ronald Decker, and, universe permitting, it won't be the last. It's a good, interesting, worthwhile read. I dig it, and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in how our wonderful tarot came into being.   It's not without flaws, however. I'm going to couch that mild criticism in an aura of praise; to my knowledge, this is the first properly academic attempt to present a coherent theory of the deep sources, origins, and developm

A New Deck: The Alchemical Tarot

I bought a new tarot deck, and it was well overdue. I was feeling burnt out on the jumble of symbolic systems found in The Hermetic Tarot, and the imagery of the Rider-Waite-Smith decks and their numerous copies had become stale. On the other hand, I encountered many decks online that didn't resonate with me at all; their symbolism was minimal, and the distinctions between the cards were vague. This left me feeling disheartened, but I must admit that I hadn’t been searching thoroughly enough.

More Elemental Dignities: The Counsel Spread

Recently my daily three-card spread has been very much giving me the same message, so today I thought I'd break out and upwards into a more detailed spread to give me a lot more information about my situation. I opted for my "Counsel Spread", which is a seven-card horseshoe spread, and a variant on the traditional three-card PPF spread.    Like the three-card PPF, you have the "Present" card in the bottom centre, officially position #4, but it's always the first card I lay.

Imagination vs Discovery

I remember one of the times I went to a seminar working with what we called "lightbody". One of the very early meditations we did was suppose to clear out symbols. Stuff we read and we choose to carry. By then I had filled my understanding with Trees, pillars, rays, polarities and all sorts of other stuff. Was very interesting to feel and see how all that is washed away and the freedom one senses after that happens.   Of course, back then something like that can't be kept for long, so
