Tarot Portions IX -Observation on the Magician -aspects, symbols

Magician - Magus, one of the very powerful first major Arcana in Tarot. 

       Here is my first lesson and observation on Tarot cards, that are connected by symbols, meanings and numerical value (alchemical). From here we can start to see the chain in the story of Tarot.

     Each card has several correspondences like: Planet, Zodiac sign, Kabbalah sephira, number; additionally each card is represented by a figure, landscape, colours of the clothes and colours of the landscape. All of them have meaning and hidden aspects.
 

The cards that I represent as the Line I in tarot start with: I. Magician (Magus); IX. The Hermit X. Wheel of Fortune; These are cards that represent Angelic connection, Inspiration, Enlightenment, capacity of change; turning point.

Tarot I – The Magus represents state of freedom, as the Magus acts by using the power of God and angels. He draws the energy from the sky with his right hand (Fire) and into the left hand. He can achieve anything what he needs with his own focus, willpower and pure intentions. These are the qualities of the card I that the person should acquire:

Qualities: focus, willpower, creative spark, pure intentions

Planet: Mercury (communication, travel, change, knowledge)

Archangel: Raphael, Raziel

Symbols: infinity, flying

Sephira: Keter –Crown

Dominion: Yang, masculine energy

Number vibration: 1 Oneness, unity, message from Spirit;

Element: Air, elementals: Elves, nature spirits

Symbol White robe: purity, innocence, illumination, spiritual intention, pure motives, Crown and above; energy body

Red mantel: excitement, activation, passion, vitality, desire, dedication; Root chakra, grounding, blood, fire.

(Together they will represent Yin (White) and Yang (red) balance of masculine and feminine).

In Spiritual concept this card signifies you are a channel of the Divine power and something will be delivered through you. That can be also artistic talent, that is in need to be shown to the world; or a spiritual talent, or anything related to revelation of messages and magical” occult practices.

X. Wheel of Fortune: Jupiter (lightning bolt, eagle, bull, oak tree) planet of Luck, fortune, unexpected, expansion, charity.

XIX. the Sun: SUN – Apollo God, Lyre, music –planet of illumination, joy, success, sexuality, Higher consciousness, identity, individuality. Meaning: happiness, success, optimism, good health, energy, truth, love. Abundance, Radiance, flow. Element: Fire

Practical: Magician means revealing and starting to show your artistic talents in sphere of music or art or writing; Attracting power and manifesting desires. All things are flowing easily and fast into reality, as the Magus has all power.

It points to the qualities that you need to develop, so you can achieve your goals: mastery (continue to develop on your way. Study, practice) 2. Confidence – believe in your abilities; 3. Originality and willpower – Be sure that you make things in your own way.

Keys: Activation of inner energy (talents and abilities) with pure intention and focus.

Magician I is further connected with all Aces from Minor Arcana – as they represents all the Pure elements (essences) that he uses. He is also representation of the Fifth element of Spirit through God.

The Magician is interconnected (and in Strong position) with the cards with the same numerical value: X. The Wheel of Fortune and XIX. The Sun.

Story line – the Magus is preparing his ritual as he wants to manifest success and reach to higher spiritual levels. He had years of education, now he left the group and went to practice his knowledge in the remote place. When he practiced enough, he was prepared to be a leader and spiritual teacher for others (V. Hierophant), but he didn’t reveal all the secrets of the Kabbalah and low of attraction. In his next step, the Magus wanted to be isolated for a while in remote place and pondering on the life deeper meaning, he gained wisdom becoming the Hermit –IX.

That is how all these cards are interrelated and in strong position.

Magus is a card of Personal qualities, but it`s not archetype card. It`s more Portal card, as signifies new beginning thought spiritual awakening and activation.

Tarot portion XIII, Observation on Knights (Swords & Cups)

Knight of Cups *

This is the lover Knight, travelling to quest of love and feelings. He is very romantic, sensitive, sensual. He is sometimes womanizer, but he can be very devoted to his beloved. He is going on a cause of Love with open heart and honesty. This Knight has the energy of passion, romance, going out of the ordinary, feeling thrilled and enthusiastic about love. Knight in a love reading can mean also person who is younger, or committed, or who is in love” and expressing his feelings without fear. (Meeting a person who is emotionally attracted to you, a lover, gentleman, creative, with imagination, dreamer). 

 It can mean also:

Knight of Cups will make you many surprises, but he is not very stable. In a love position he can mean a lover, someone out of the marriage. He is gentle, and he knows what he wants. 

Knight of Swords *

As Swords are suit of intellect, communication, trust, truth, values, and letting go, Knight of Swords is very intellectual. He can use his mind well. But he can be also a bit rude, unemotional. Nothing else would stand more than the truth for him.

Knight of Swords is very idealistic, loves education, and study, and strives for peace of mind, truth and justice. 

He can be someone, who is dedicated to a cause of study, graduation, higher education or a scientific project.

This is the Prince of Air element – so he loves movement, change and travel too. He can have many friendships, but he is hardly attached to someone special. Meaning of this Knight in a reading:

-        Travel for study or education – abroad or to a city

-        Devoted and taking steps for education or project

-        Moving to another place for a while, language study

Clair audient 

Tarot Portions III ~ High Priestess Symbology

  In the Rider Waite decks the card of High priestess is quite mysterious. She represents tuning into the Subconscious world, invisible reality, hidden knowledge, wisdom, feminine energy, Moon connection, deeper understanding, Moon goddess, going beyond social norms, seeking spiritual expansion, understanding symbols, being aware and awaken.

    the Archetype ~ So this will be person with amazing potential given to tap into invisible world, she has  psychic gifts, clairvoyance, chance to develop spiritual abilities, connecting easily to higher realms, feeling others, seeing auras and colours, hearing angelic messages, being channel of Light (or darkness, as per his choice). This person will be naturally drawn to world of spirit and unconscious power. He will have also healing abilities. In addition he will have need for freedom and independence -in order to expand his knowledge. He will not stop from social disagreement or norms, as he follows his inner guidance.

The main concept here is: Subconscious mind, Invisible world, wisdom and magic. All these show that invisible world is powerful, it has authority. High Priestess knows what is beyond human understanding. She sees into the past and future of others. That world is called Mystery, but it is quite natural ability, just humanity is still not awaken fully to it.

Basic symbols in the traditional Tarot of Raider Wait are: 

Torah (Sacred script) – knowledge, secret knowledge, wisdom that is not share with everyone, but just with chosen, need for deeper knowledge of the Universe, Kabbalah.

Moon crown ~ represents the high power and authority over the invisible world, moon connection, psychic gift, spiritual connection, feminine energy.

Two Pillars ~ Black and white pillar from both sides of the High Priestess symbolize the aspects of good and bad, which are always confronting and both are needed in the world. She sits between them, as she is in equilibrium of forces, and takes the middle path. She is non judgemental of others!

Veil behind with pomegranates and palms ~ We see the veil, which has stamps of pomegranates – symbols of passion, desire, sexual energy, also temptation to taste the forbidden fruit, fertility, abundance. She is with her back to the veil, which means she turns away from that world pleasures (for a time) in order to find deeper answers. Her aim and abilities are not from the visible, material world.

    Blue sea, sky and blue robe ~ all are symbols of the vast unconscious mind of the humanity. She can penetrate the world of that mind and go deep – as the sea, which represents depths of thoughts, power of mind, analysis, seeing details and seeing the big picture. Her blue robe is flowing in the edge like the sea wave, she herself has a deep and powerful inner world, and she connects with her own subconsciousness. The blue sky symbolizes freedom, flight, unlimited possibilities, child like spirit.

    New moon at her feet ~ That moon is symbol of new cycle of life, which also links to the beginning and end. She knows the secret that everything which has its birth, and living on earth, will go to its death point. But that means another cycle will start over. Nothing in the world is wasted, this is the power of transformation and wheel of seasons, moon cycles in nature. All things follow their natural flow. That means also High Priestess knows that everything has exact time. She is not the Empress, nor the Emperor, she doesn’t hurry, and doesn’t apply rules and restrictions. She deals with everyone equally, with truth and honesty as higher principles. (That’s how she connects with card XI. Justice.)

Hexagonal structure of water in ethereal plane -III

    All of the sea shells, sea sand, sea salt, and some other minerals, and waterfalls contain also spiral shapes, usually of one, two or three spirals connected together (see the trinity symbol!), which are moving fast in anti-clockwise direction. These spirals in fact contain information of time-space in our universe and are symbol of transcending the time illusion.

    Clear quartz, all kind of quartz (amethyst, citrine..) and diamond, also contain spirals and grids of multiple merkaba symbols (see here).

Pattern of 7 pointed stars are included in ethereal structure of wheat, oats, nuts, grains. They are very nourishing and open the thymus glad and heart.

As we can understand, humans can pray and affect the ethereal patterns in all elements, including water. You can pray on water to have healing effect on your body, or for something special, and ethereal parts will be affected by the prayer, so they will do the work. The same is valid for opposite though. You can also say spell (on water) or put some ingredients (like in black magic rituals), or you can affect crystals in the same way, the so called programming of crystals. So if you want you can recharge your water daily with positive affirmation.

Thank you for tuning in! Be blessed and stay in side of light and Love!

Eight of Cups

Crystal Visions Tarot

Eight of Cups represents the world of sadness.(Sadness vs- depression - is a good feeling that helps cleansing on emotional level.*) A man turns his back to all 8 cups, and withdrawing away. The landscape is rocky mountains, moon (in all phases) and waters of lake. The man looks sad and humble. He is going away from a situation or refusing to accept something. Even so, the card doesn’t represent bad energy or disaster, just a need for time alone, in order to achieve clarity.

Interpretation:

Key: sadness, disappointment, Solitude, withdrawal from certain aspects of life. Going away from social life or events, seeking spiritual knowledge, away from source of emotions or family. Time to turn inwards and go away from a situation, detach from people who are keeping you from your spiritual purpose. Time for reflection, being alone, going within and connecting with your higher self. Turn attention to all signs during this period. 

Not feeling satisfied from your surroundings, new start of a spiritual journey. Going within, need of meditation and solitude, being away from the outer world and social events. Need to organize, go deep within and ponder on your situation, reality and what are your values. This is a good period of self-discovery and visiting sacred places or spiritual places. Time for rest, meditation and insights. (emotional tiredness).

Corresponding cards – The Strength (8) – you need to look within, discover your inner strength.

Spiritual message – take time to look deep in your heart and admit the true feelings to yourself. Stay alone, reconnect with your higher Self.

You cant be satisfied from the reality now, as your spiritual path is higher.

Numerical value: 8 represents water element, quality of cleansing, deep understanding, balancing between outer and inner world. Together with cups it gives 2 times water – or the world of another side. The card represents the need of balancing the feminine and masculine energy (Yin- Yang), connection with higher self.

Archangel of 8 – Jeremiel, Raziel.

Seven of Cups

Illuminati Tarot

Number seven is a sacred number in many traditions. In esoteric numerology it represents the fire energy and color red- orange. The hidden aspect of seven are determination, inner strength, solid spiritual foundations, strong values, transformation to a higher level.

The archangels of 7 are: Metatron, Nathaniel.

In cups 7 represents transformation of emotional state, or entering spiritual realms.

The equivalent major arcane card is 7 – Chariot – victory, transformation, transition, discovering the different realm.

The sphere of this card is World of dreams. The character of seven of cups means illusions, confused about choices to make, mirage, not being able to see clearly something. The traditional symbolic depicts a man sitting in front of a huge white cloud in the sky. He seems surprised and stunned from the view – 7 cups are floating on the cloud, each of them has amazing and strange image appearing from it – dragon, a snake, a head, fruits, ghost…The person is wondering what all these images hide. They are symbolic.

Interpretation: Time to make choices, to see the reality clearly. You have active imagination, so you are supported in this time by supernatural forces. Pay attention to your dreams – they may reveal special signs about your past – future path. Ask yourself the question: if my wishes are granted, what is that I wish most? What is your true heart desire?

Protection message: be aware that all is in your mind and imagination. What you see is reality just in your eyes. Your castle is in the sky, without a solid foundation. So your dreams and feelings are floating on the clouds – they are unrealistic. Your mind drifted away from the physical world –and into deeper waters.

Spiritual message – need of being more practical and see the truth./ 2. Need to recognize and read the hidden symbols in your life plan.
