The Wheel of the Jewish Calendar makes a major shift as we leave the months of Adar I & II and entered the month of Na’arah represented by Major Arcana card XVII Na’arah ‘Hope’ on April 9, 2024. The third decan of Aries also began on April 11.
The bottom row, representing the Jewish calendar according to the Tarot Netivot system now features Major Arcana card XVII for the beginning of the new month; and the 7 of Wands ‘Namaste’ for the beginning of the week of Waxing Moon April 13.
There is one overlap of correspondences between the two systems for this period: the Eagle.
The top line features Tarot cards as they relate to today’s Western Hermetic Astrology using primarily the Tabula Mundi Tarot Silver Edition by M.M.Melleen. This works 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. This works 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 rows. These are taken from various decks in my collection. New additions: otter; peacock; ram; hawk; amethyst; garnet; diamond; oak; thorn; bloodroot; olive; fir; and fruit trees. It is interesting to note that two of these correspondences do occur together on the same card. This is the Eight of Pentacles for the Tellurian Tarot deck.
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.

Methods of Spreeds: A New Study Begins
Hello there, it's Van here!
I hope all of you are fine.
Today, guess in this dawn, i'm gonna talk about some methods of how to spreeds cards i'm learning.
Well, finally i can start to do proper readings [internally freaking out a little bit 🤯]. Honestly, since i finished my journey with the Major Arcanas i'm panicking over make real "grown-up" readings, i mean study the cards was so fun and kind of "safe" and my mentor said somenthing that keeps appering in my mind: "You have to be responsible now, it the real deal. Practice and be ready". Be ready for what? I get the part where you can't fluffed up in this part but c'mon this was definitely not an encouragement at all, right?
Anyways here am i, lol. Almost 3:00 AM and i'm here reading books after books and watching videos and thinking if i'll ever going to keep up with this, i'm thiking of creating my own personal datasheet over my future readings, so i can keep them on track and see my development, am i thking too much? Or this is a good idea?
There's not much to tell on the methods itself, i'm currently studying the easiest ways to start the spreed, i already have studied the quick insight, the celtic cross and some others [any advice or tips would be good 😉], tomorrow morning i'm thinking of doing the first real deal grown-up reading and finally let my newbie title to be gone [yes, i'm that excited, yet terrified 😆] but i'm not really sure, what y'all think? How was your first time?
Of course, i'm not ready to read for another person, look i'm not doing it until i get confident enough so i don't mess up or make huge mistakes, when it comes to read for someone else i prefer to fluff up my future and myself first [mentor says that if i'm not responsible enouh it's not a good idea to make the readings].
So till this time come, it's going to be me and all of you guys [hell yeah all of you are coming in this with me 😅] and in this moment i want some serious and point by point critics which i'm counting on y'all to give.
Jokes aside i really waited so long for this to happen, i don't know about you guys, but i was feeling like a child learning all of this. Specially when i didn't get a certain card and stayed with it in my head for really long periods of time [ one month was my max], i felt kind of... dumb? Idk. But right now, after learning properly and making a huuuge upfront step on my study schedule perhaps things will be easier.
Tomorrow i promise to post a follow up from my soon to be first real grown up reading and if you're interested i can post my datasheet so you can analyze it.
Update on my cute box: Decided to glue some dried flowers from my garden on the lid, there's little almost nothing but i promise to keep a follow up once it's fully complete!
Com amor,
Van

Oh.
Silly me forgot to cancel my RWS deck order since I ordered a different deck (White Numen) that wasn't on my wish-list at all (the card that made me gravitate towards the purchase option was my birth card, The Hierophant.)
But, in getting this deck, I figured I'd interview it anyway and see what its strengths and weakness' were since I needed to practice for the next deck coming in.
Questions I asked for the interview spread:
1. What will our relationship be like?
2. What are your strengths as a deck that'll help me move forward?
3. What are you not happy to be working with?
4. What type of messages can I expect to receive while working with you?
Well...the first card I pulled for the first question I asked, I feel like I might have misspoke and said out-loud that I needed to practice for the new deck arriving in a few days and may not be using this deck as much anyway. I could just be overthinking it, but I felt like this deck feels as thought it's going to be competing or that it might be argumentative were I to use this for anything else.
Despite the other responses being alright, I feel like it's not too happy with me!

56Atu X - The Wheel of Fortune
Yes, that would seem to be the case. However, Jung did suggest that the revelatory flip from Christ to anti-Christ was not just prophetic but a psychological law or enantiodromia, a tendency of things to change into their opposites. When I was going through a particularly unpleasant period, I had it constantly... it was terrible, sickening. A flash like a serpent, positive to negative, an image with light edged sides. Then flipping back to beneficence. I still get it sometimes, though I try to ignore it. Otherwise, it an lead to a tendency of paranoia, thinking that an inverse meaning comes from external material or motive. Or of course, it might be just picking up the inherently paradoxical nature of thoughts and ideas that may not be intended consciously but are there anyway. It is exhausting though trying to reconcile Jung's idea of the self, holding the conflicting paradoxes of light and dark, which somehow is distinguished form the Christian symbol of spotlessness, as 'casting off its’ own shadow or excluding as the adversary. As at the same time Christ is considered the sublime Imago Dei, the pure image of God. Jung also mentions the very early church's own attempt at reconciling the paradox of light and dark with the two sons, the brothers, the elder son Satanael. Or 'The Spirit Mercuriius' A symbol uniting all opposites.- smw replied to Aeon418's topic in Thoth -
4Someone marked my new house "666" with a pentagram... should I be worried?
Agreed that it's probably kids. They probably won't come back once you move in and it's not an empty house anymore. I wouldn't call the cops, personally (what are they going to do?). I'd probably take a pic to document it, just in case it reoccurs. And make sure the homeowner's insurance covers theft and vandalism. Then try to put it out of your mind and enjoy your new home.- Laura Borealis replied to itsbmv111's topic in Magic & Witchcraft -

I wouldn't worry about it. It's likely a one-off silly kid. If you over-react they will probably make a habit of it.- gregory replied to itsbmv111's topic in Magic & Witchcraft
