0 The Fool

Dionysos. 
Eagle- the bird of Zeus, king of te Gods, who watches over the Fool as he prepares to plunge into the unknown. 
The cave from which the Fool emerges is the past, the dark and undifferentiated mass from which the beginning of a true sense of individuality is about to take form..
The goat's horns on the Fool's brow suggest, like the animal skins he wears, that he is like a young animal, driven into life by instinct, not yet conscious or possessed of understanding. 

1 The Magician 
using one's skills and abilities to look beyond the illusion .  to see the sleight of hand .. being untrustworthy

The Cup represents the Cup of Fortune, particularly fortune in love, for Hermes is wise in the knowledge of the heart. 
The Caduceus is Hermes' wand of magic, entwined by two snakes which represent all opposites good and evil, make and female, dark and light. 
The Sword represents the cutting edge of the mind and its power, given to Hermes by his father Zeus. 
The Pentacle or coin marks Hermes as the god of sudden good luck and as the patron of merchants and businessmen.

Today ( 29th May, 2022)  shuffled the whole deck and drew 

Five of Swords ..

For me it speaks of being in a no win situation ...   even if you feel like you have won it comes with consequences of your actions, with it's own challenges, and conflicts.. This could be about a disagreement,  a quarrel, a fight on some level .. 
 Some challenges with  an idea, a plan, a thought,, unable to communicate clearly what you want..   
Maybe this is about a bully, someone who is dominating and overbearing on some level..  they could be abusive, belittling, maybe not physical abuse but someone who plays mind games.  

THE BOOK 
This shows another perspective of this card , other layers within a reading ... 

This card shows Orestes, seated on the ground, facing Apollo, telling him his fate and his obligation to avenge his Father's death...

Acceptance of limitations, boundaries and confines of destiny. 
This card can remind us to face one's own limits, recognizing the life that needs to be lived within your on capabilities.. Maybe you have taken on too much, must swallow your pride and back off, honestly facing what is possible before moving forward,,,

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 ... T he News may be the key to some Good fortune .. ..  Let us look at the

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

The Fool's Journey Through The Wands ....

Image
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 suddenly gets this spark of an idea, a plan of something creative he needs to achieve,  He begins to feel this inner drive, this awakening.... So he looks ahead, trying to decide how he will achieve his passion....Which path to take... He sees a lone rider with two Camels ... 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 ... He hears the story of hope, wishes and dreams from the Ancestors.  About expansion, growth that lies ahead ... if only he could take those steps forward,.... He decides to follow them ... 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

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

Shadow aspect spread

 I was reading an issue of Cartomancer I had just purchased and the first thing I read was an article about Solar Eclipse Shadow work ..   A spread was  created by the author so I thought I would try it ..  Taking the  3 Major Arcana Cards out of the pack and laying them with the Sun and Star at the top and the Moon directly below the Sun ..  Shuffling and at first drawing 3 Cards  Laying them between the Sun and the Moon Cards.  Thinking about a positive experience I may have had negative thoughts too . .   I pulled out The Fool, Three of Wands and Five of Cups ...   With the keywords on each of the cards  Change, Communication and Grief  Which I thought was very interesting at this time...   Dealing with a loss on some level there had been some changes and I need to look at how I needed to communicate at the time,,,  But lets dive a little deeper into each card  with my own knowledge of the cards ...  The Fool , looks at new beginnings, new possibilities, having fun, being free-spi
