Tarot of Cleopatra

-

 Here we find a Tarot deck with an Egyptian Theme, Connected to Cleopatra The Last Egyptian Queen.   This deck merges the religious and astrological aspects of that time together with Tarot.  Looks like it is designed on Papyrus with imagery of Egypt.. The Major Arcana has a connection with  22 Superior Egyptian Deities.. The Court Cards with 16 Lesser Divinities, while the Minor Arcana consist of 36 Doyens, monthly Spirits represented in the Temple of Denderah. The Four Aces represent the three traditional seasons of the Egyptian Calendar  and the crucial day of Sopedet...  

Let us begin exploring ....
0 The Fool 
Bes 
Music, merriment, Childbirth 
Protector of Children 
The Fool   can speak of new beginnings,  new paths, new adventures, being free-spirited, laughter and freedom. This card can arrive to remind us that we can step out of the darkness, the void into the light.  Reminding us to be cautious, wary of the path ahead. 

IN THE BOOK (LWB) 
Eccentric behavior, strange, ambiguous in personal relationships, Not trustworthy person.. 

1. The Magician 
Thoth 
God of the Moon, Sacred Texts, Mathematics, Science, Magic, 
Messenger and recorder of Deities.   
The Magician speaks of beyond illusion, seeing beyond the surface.. Not everything appears  as it is.. There are times when you must not trust your eyes  but truly see  what is by seeing the sleight of hand by someone who may not be trustworthy.  This card can remind us to use our skills, abilities to manifest what we desire.. We are reminded our reality is not always as it truly is but what we want to show the world.  

IN THE BOOK (LWB) 
Decisional capabilities.  Initiative. Diplomacy, An able and prepared person. A higher vision of life. 

2. The High Priestess 

Iside- 

The High Priestess reminds us to look at knowledge of the past which can affect ourselves today. She can speak of secrets of the past that could be revealed.. Ancient knowledge can be sourced.  Psychic abilities, moon energy .. knowledge from study. 

LWB- 

Great intuitive gifts. Concentration, Reservedness. A sense of superiority. An austere person but wise and helpful .  

3. Empress 
Meskmenet 
Goddess of Childbirth. 
The Empress speaks of fertility, the birth, the growth, expansion, creativity.. Seeing the beauty within. Taking care of others, do not forget self..  Bounty, abundance. 

LWB
Marked intelligence. Understanding. Maternal spirit.
Capacity to emotionally support others. 

4. Emperor 
Min 
God of Fertility and Harvest
For me this card reminds me of a father type figure, a provider, a ruler, a boss, someone who is in charge, someone  who is in control of their journey.  They may find sometimes  ruling at the top is lonely... 


LWB
Protective Spirit, Sense of legality. Paternalism. Need for stability, ability to resolve practical problems.

There are many ways to read this Spread.. Trust in how you choose to read it . This is one variation ...  Let us begin  by looking at the centre card 1) The Rider - News .. there is some news on it's way, what type of News, let's see what the other cards say, to modify the card related to the News ...  We look to the Left and we see Letter - so we know the news may be written .. To the right A Woman - is the written news from a woman or to the woman?    Above The Stars - maybe it is Spiritual  News on some level ...  Underneath - The Bear - Could be related to a Mother or are you the Mother... Is the news in regards to strength or protection on some level ?   Now let's look at the four corners-  The Scythe  With the Rider and the Road  So maybe it is important you let go of something so you can make a decision in regards to the news?   You have Key Rider and Clover ...

How I Connect With The Cards...

-
The Way I Connect with the Cards, the messages as individuals for each person. Knowing that each person is so different from another... I understand that everyone is different, All Readers read differently. They may use tools or no  tools . They may use Cards, Runes, I-Ching, Tea-leaves, palms and crystals.. You may even find a reader that connects with jewelry. There are so many ways a reader will read for a client. Even card readers read differently from each other, Some use Tarot, Oracle, or even Lenormand Cards, Others will use playing cards, they use specifically for Readings. You may find some readers read the cards to set meanings and others use them as Gateways to connect with their Spirit Guide to receive individual messages.  There is no One Correct way. There are no blanket rules in regards to how a reader should read.  You may find some readers connect to the Angels and Archangels before and during the reading.  You may find  Tarot and other Card readings sim

Understanding the messages within A few of the Cards

-
Image
Let us begin with the notion that  the cards are ink and paper, created by artists who wish to share a story. The Story developed over time with characters, symbols, colours. Images that allow one to open up within themselves. These are cards that offer both positive and negative aspects of our life.  Each and every card holds both types of messages within them.  I know there are cards like XVI The Tower and XV The Devil  that people gasp at horror and expect negative messages,  X Swords, III Swords are also images that hold people in terror,,, and because of movies  XIII Death  people  think it means Death ....Literal death. In this post I am going to explain the positive messages of these cards.  Let us begin with XII Death... This card only speaks of Transformations, changes, a sense of purification, Spiritual and healing. Letting go of the negative aspects of life and moving into the light (so to speak) , Moving forward as you leave behind the past.   This can be a good

Why Do Readers Read Cards Differently?

-
Image
Each Deck is so Different .. There are many different Tarot decks designed by many different amazing individuals… Every deck is perfect in it’s own way… Some images speak louder than others, that is because we as readers are all very different, we are individuals that like and are drawn to different artwork… Also our thoughts processors are individualized.  Our perceptions are individualized.  No one sees the same image in the same card. Different colours, characters, symbols stand out for each of us. That is why you will find different Tarot readers deliver the same messages in a different way.  And sometimes it can take awhile to make sense of a reading.. We as Tarot Readers have to interpret what we see… With our experiences in life so different from each other we interpret things quite differently… I understand there are suggestions in how we read Tarot and there are basic keywords ,  trying to memorise what someone else sees can drive one crazy… I find what works for one re

The Fool, The Student of Life, The Novice, The Young Adventurer, The Dreamer, The Prankster, The Joker ....as He steps out of the darkness into the light, along a path of gravel, He steps through the grass and sees a lone tree ...

He looks up and sees the Crescent moon lighting the way ahead .... He Turns and sees three Women Surrounded by Golden lights Chanting.... He Stands and listens ...

They lead him to the beach, there he sees a Man carrying a large egg while a Mother Bird flies in to stop the Man.... The Fool wa
