The Wheel of the Western Hermetic Calendar makes a major shift as we leave the month of Aries and enter the month of Taurus represented by Major Arcana card V Tzovah ‘Sacred Servant’ on April 21. The first decan of Taurus also begins on April 21, represented by the Five of Discs.
The bottom row, representing the Jewish calendar according to the Tarot Netivot system now features Major Arcana card XVII for the month of Nisan, which began April 9; and Major Arcana card X Mazal ‘Fortune’ which ties to the beginning of the week of the Full Moon April 21. It is interesting to note that, according to the Tarot Netivot system, this Full Moon marks the end of the Winter/Summer season and the beginning of the Spring/Autumn season (depending upon whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere). So the Ace of Cups replaces the Ace of Wands in the bottom row.
The top line features Tarot cards as they relate to today’s Western Hermetic Astrology using primarily the Tabula Mundi Tarot Silver Edition by MM Melleen. These work with the Solar Calendar. These are the correspondences that Benebell Wen uses when working with the SKT and astrology.
The bottom line features Tarot cards as they relate to the Hebrew calendar according to Tarot Netivot. I am using the Lurianic Tarot by Basilikon — one of the few truly Jewish Tarot decks out there and certainly one of the most beautiful; and the hand painted Illuminated Tarot Starlight Rainbows Edition. These work with the Lunar Calendar.
The middle cards are animal, crystal, and plant correspondences according to T. Susan Chang in the book Tarot Correspondences. These are tied to the Major Arcana cards as they appear in Tarot Netivot representing each Jewish month, Jewish holidays, and major lunar and solar events as well as to the Western Hermetic Major Arcana in the top row. These are taken from various decks in my collection.
New additions for the month of Taurus: Beaver; Bull; Tiger; Sapphire; Topaz; Sage; Hawthorn; and Dandelion. It is interesting to note that two of these correspondences do occur together on the same card — Garnet and Cherry (for Fruit Trees for the month of Nisan). This is the Eight of Pentacles for the Tellurian Tarot deck.
The one overlapping correspondence that is shared by the two systems: Garnet. Two properties associated with Garnet are vitality and balance. It is linked with the heart chakra. It was a large Garnet crystal that provided the only light to guide Noah’s Ark safely to land during the Biblical flood.Existing cards will be exchanged with new incoming cards as the wheel of time turns. Lunar phases change every 3 - 4 days; decans change every 10 days. Months change every 28 - 31 days. Note: I am working with 2 different systems to mark the months, one solar and the other lunar. I shall try to post a new board every time there is significant movement.

Finally, the first reading!
Hello guys!
Hope y'll are fine.
So today i'm gonna talk about my first real Tarot reading, btw the journal was such a good tool to organize my brain and helped me focous on the questioning process itself. I used the three spreed as my first shot, i liked to use it for the simples questions (i only did three questions and i focused on making "safe questions"). I'm gonna transcript what i wrote in my journal, i think it'll be easier to visualize how i did it.
-
For the next three months, will i get a good job?
- After made my first spreed, i tried to visualize my question once i started to pick my Arcanas. I got surprised but not upset. I got the moon, the lovers and the temperence. First of all i tried to make each card one interpretation, just to assimilate their major advices and the way i felt about them.
- The Moon: I get that as a sounding and understanding yes, i know this Arcana is really deep and speaks volumes about our inner voices and how we are truly feeling about so that's why for the second thought i was more like: "Yes, but do not get this as something that for sure it will happen, even though is, probably, a confident yes, the universe is unpredictable and almost everything change in the course of life."
- The Lovers: Here it comes my problem with this Arcana reading, since i'm not thinking about love or such things, i felt confused on why this card was preseting it self. I tried to think on the other aspect of this Arcana, which means an a big decision might be coming a head.
- The Temperence: In this last Arcana i tried to undestend the other two and the outcome that probably will happen in a mix with the Temperence, so in the end i figure it out that yes, in the next three months i highly will get a good job, but this will leads me to a decision that probably would be a life changing thing, something that will divide the way i'm living right now, but until this happen i need to have patience and when it happen i'll need to balance things out, even my decisions will take a time to reflect and to analyze if it's a good idea.
Position 3: The Temperence
Position 1: The Moon Position 2: The Lovers
The other two questions i'll be posting on the next week, i would like to analyze each one of my questions with patience.
What y'all think of it? Did i make a good job or my reading is wrong? For the process of picking yup each Arcana i tried to mentally visualize my questions. I took a really good time making the spreed, then getting into the major aspects of the Arcana, i did not rush anything what made me feel confident over what i was reading, but right now i'm not really sure about it simply because i found The Moon such a difficult Arcana to read (this one is in my favourite hall) and comprehend what it's speakins in the reading.
Com Amor,
Van

Two Excellent Books I Highly, Highly Recommend
There are two authors I've recommended in various places before that I definitely respect and appreciate. I recently bought two of their most recent books and I'm very, very pleased with what I've learned and what they've proven by years of scientific research. Yep, I said "scientific" as in double blind studies and all that true scientific proof requires. We're legit, folks. Let me tell you about the authors and these books and why I'm so thrilled to bring this to you all.
First of all, Larry Dossey, MD is the author of a book called One Mind. Quoting what's written on the back cover of the book:
"In the 20th century, we were introduced ro several subdivisions of the mind: the conscious, subconscious, preconscious and so on. But what we didn't know was that there was another level of consciousness, an all-encompassing, infinite dimension of shared intelligence: the One Mind. This universal consciousness connects all of us through space and time.
Emerging studies have shown that the One Mind isn't just an idea; it's a reality. In this book, Larry Dossey shares compelling experiences and research that supports the One Mind concept, such as:
Shared thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations wirh a distant individual
Communication between humans and sentient nonhumans, such as pets
Acquisition of previously unknown knowledge from a person who has died
Hidden or lost objects found through mental means alone
Direct contact with a transcendent domain through near-death experiences
Rev. Wayne Muller, who I'm not familiar with, wrote this on the back of the book, too, but I want to include his comments as well:
"The Buddha said: Isolation is the world's great misery. In an increasingly complex world , we feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and more and more alone. Dr. Larry Dossey, a gifted physician of the soul , relieves the agony of modern isolation. He reveals our deep connections to everything around us, to reassert our belonging with everything everywhere."
This book is absolutely awesome. Worth every penny you pay for it and then some, in my opinion. I can't recommend it highly enough and I'm going to read it again----and probably again and again. I hope many of you will, too. I got mine on Amazon.
The second book is by Dean Radin, PhD. It's titled Real Magic and from the back of the book:
"The chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences turns a critical eye toward such practices as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis. Are such powers really possible? Science says yes."
To quote just a little from his first page, he says "this is about REAL magic" and he says "Real magic falls into three categories......" The first category he calls "force of will"and he says it's associated with spell-casting and other techniques meant to intentionally influence events or actions.
The second one he calls "divination" and it's associated with Tarot reading mirror-gazing and other practices.
The third one he calls "theurgy" and it involves evoking and communicating with spirits.

7Deck of the Week Sign-up Thread, Week 355: Apr. 22 - Apr. 28
Interviews! What is your most important characteristic? Four of Pumpkins The deck’s value is in its physical manifestation. And it sowed the seeds for future Halloween decks. It as veggie people as well as more normal Halloween characters. What is your strength? Two of Bats It makes you think, and think about the RWS, too. It gets those thoughts flapping around in your mind. Your weakness? Six of Bats It’s both too much and too little of a departure from RWS. The ideas are kind of all over the place. Does it have a destination in mind? What can you teach me? The Moon It’s ok to be made up of two natures, wolf and man. To trust my instincts. To pet a Frenchie. To avoid roadside lobster stands. We must be in Maine. How can I learn it? Queen of Pumpkins Stay grounded in the source material, but yes, use my intuition. And start by petting cats and rabbits. What will be the outcome of our work together? Justice We will achieve a well balanced combination, less painful than a werewolf. And understand true justice, not petty revenge (the voodoo doll in the corner). (Justice is Libra, cardinal air, shown by bats, crow, and owl.) Almost all cups. What is your most important characteristic? Seven of Cups The deck is very emotive. You can see in it anything you want to see, like the swirly ceiling. What is your strength? Three of Cups It helps you manifest (3) those emotions. The deck will feel like a friend. Your weakness? The Hierophant It’s a bit too traditional in meanings, but not in portrayals. What can you teach me? Nine of Cups To enjoy the richness of the deck and tarot. I don’t have to like what everyone else likes. How can I learn it? Ace of Cups Let the feeling flow naturally and unimpeded. I love a kitten in a cup! What will be the outcome of our work together? Ten of Pentacles I will introduce you all to the richness of the deck so we can enjoy it together. My taste will expand, and maybe my collection! Short interview for a Lenormand: What is your strength? Woman The deck will address my specific issues well. Your weakness? Mountain But it might be a struggle to get there. What can I learn from you? Clouds How to understand “negative” readings. What will be the outcome of our work together? Letter I will become more confident in my Lenormand readings.- Rachelcat replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the Week
