Major Arcana

0-THE FOOL


5/384

Page | 5

It begins with a whispered voice. The serpentine song threads

through her days and thoughts. It beckons: Come ... come ...

Where? she asks, curious, but there is n response.She ignoresthe summons, until cone day that siren song unexpectedly

explodes and fills her to the brim. Its pulse is undeniable.

Where? she asks again, and this time the steady beat of her

heart is the response.

The Fool has come a long way, traveled from far beyond to cometo this pinnacle that rises up upon the edge of the world, and yet

her journey is just about to begin. She senses this with instinctive

perceptions as she rises up on her toes, caught up in the breathless

embrace of the wind in the moment before the plunge. Her heart

pounds and flutters in her chest with the force of a hundred

beating wings struggling to break free of the cage of her being,

until she feels she must be sprouting wings from her shoulders to

glide forth from that place, transformed.

Wait! Dont! Cries a thin, trailing voice from within. Caution!

Fear! It rails. Hold back!

Unheeding, she steps forward, and ...


6/384

Page | 6

Meaning:

She stands on edge of a very sheer precipice, with only the

ribbons and the doves bearing her up if she choose to leap. Thefox takes this in. He watches. He is the embodiment of cleverness,

but being clever does not preclude being a fool of a different sort.

He cant comprehend the leap of faith that she is about to take. So

whos the fool, she for stepping out into the unknown, in what

seems to be a complete lack of logic, or the fox for being toofirmly rooted in the belief of the reality of the intellectual

thought?

The Fool is a symbol for new beginnings and adventures,

pleasure, passion. She rushes ahead, thoughtless and rash, doing

before thinking. Obeying instincts. Like the Fool, you may stand

upon the precipice gazing out into the unknown. The endless

expanse of blue nothing is all that fills the space between that

hight-up aerie and the ground that is so very far away. There is

either an oblivious foolishness to the terrible plunge you may

experience, or else a wild spirit of adventure and great faith and

knowledge in what can and will bear you up and guide you

through the times to come. There are unlimited possibilities

opening up for the seeker.

I-MAGICIAN


11/384

Page | 11

The Fool drifts past as a seed in the wind, as a twirling feather, as

a crystal mote of condensation, and she sees the Magician. She

watches the boy who is initiated to the mysteries of the elements.He is taught and masters conjurings, summonings, bindings.

One day she cannot resist, and she trails fingers of wind across his

eyes; he opens them with a start, seeing for a moment. "Who are

you?" he demands, but oh so quickly the spirit transforms into a

stag and bounds away.He chases into the woods. Always the stag is just out of reach. His

bare feet press into the earth. The air rushes through his hair. The

sun beats upon his shoulders. The tantalizing flash of white from

the stag darting through the verdure taunts him unbearably until

suddenly...

It is gone, and he is alone.

Upon a rock he sees the gifts that have been left for him. The

relics of the elements glint in the sunlight, and as his hands close

upon the offerings, a smile touches his lips at the power that

surges through them.


12/384

Page | 12

Meaning:

Originality, creativity, skill, willpower, self-confidence, dexterity,and sleight of hand. It is about grasping the unseen around you

and harnessing it to become reality, drawing forth the ineffable

into the material realm of existence. This Magician draws upon

relics representative of the elements: fire in his lantern, the voice

of the sea in the shell, a breath of wind in the ravens feather, andearth from the leaves. He knows what he wants, and he knows he

can make it happen with conscious exertion of his will and his

knowledge of how to manipulate the world.

II - THE HIGH PRIESTESS


16/384

Page | 16

The High Priestess turns her face to the sky. She basks in the

radiance the stars cast upon her upturned cheeks. She soaks in that

tremulous incandescent light, feeling it glow within her mind,opening corridors and dancing into filigree patterns.

The stars chant:

we were here when the mountains were young

and the sea was only a dream ...

we've seen the hills bloom with countless millions of seasons ...we've watched the clouds paint their visions

in a slow language across the centuries ...

let us speak.

The owl hoots in the darkness, calling out to his mistress with the

music of the night. His white feathers gleam in the moonlight, as

if with a light from within. Her glides through the darkness to

come to rest near her.


17/384

Page | 17

In the gloam, the night is full of whisperthe secret knowledge of

the stars, of the trees, and of the earth. The spirits of each murmur

their collected stories and their wisdom in a sibilant descant.She weaves those sounds through her fingers, drawing the voices

into physical being, and in her fingers, a filigree key coalesces.

She calls the owl to her. Take this, and be the bearer of secrets,

she tells him.

Meaning:

Wisdom, knowledge, learning, intuition, purity, virtue. The High

Priestess lifts her arms out, and in the gesture, her very body

becomes the living symbol of a chalice. The owl is keeper of the

knowledge, and he bears a key to unlock mysteries. Thepomegranate is an icon of Persephone, who tested the seeds and

thus tied herself to Hades; it is a fruit of fertility and death. The

moons embroidered upon her garments wax and wane, the new

crescent and gibbous moons that create the full cycle embraced in

one.

III-EMPRESS


22/384

Page | 22

"Lady-Mother!" call the wandering souls. "We bring you gifts!"

They fly near the Empress, dancing in the sky. They paint

synchronized kaleidoscope choreographies for her pleasure, andshe smiles as she takes it in. Her mind and her thoughts are the

conductor to this visual symphony.

Gently, they lay a crown woven of the first buds of spring across

her brow. "Jasmine and Lily of Valley have graciously donated

their first buds for your coronet," the spirits sigh."The Apple Tree Man has gifted you with his fruit, and the Lady

of the Fields her grains." These they lay in her basket.

With a sudden flourish, the spirits whirl together, then spin off in

an explosion of light and music. "Farewell, dear Lady!" they call.


23/384

Page | 23

Meaning:

Creativity, generosity, patience, love. The Empress is aboutabundance, experiencing the senses, and embracing the natural.

She is a creator. She is the Mother, fertile and nurturing. Clasped

to her body like a child, she holds a basket of the earths bounty:

fruits and sheaves of wheat and glorious flowers. She is the primal

essence and embodiment of life, and is deeply tied to nature.Crowned in ivy, she is clasped in garments the colors of the world

around her.

IV-EMPEROR


27/384

Page | 27

The Emperor remembers....

He remembers when once there was another man. Was it his

father? A mentor? Or was it a vanquished king? His mind arcsback, grasping. Once.... There was another, and he relinquished

the dragon orb.

He remembers his own fascination with the orb upon first laying

eyes on it, and as he touched it the strength of the creature within

surged through his arms and possessed his senses. "You are nowthe lord of these mortal realms." Was it the other who had said

that? Or was it the dragon? He was now the dragon!

"Yessss," he said, and knew it was so.


28/384

Page | 28

Meaning:

Creating order out of chaos, authority, leadership, strength,establishing law and order. The carvings on the wall bear the

symbols of the domain and of dominion. The eagle ascends above

mountains and sea, night and day ruling over all. The earthly

creatures bow to that mastery. But even though the imagery of the

carvings may be magnificent, still a wall is a manmade edificemans measure and means of controlling the wildness of the world

by attempting to carve it into unchanging stone, mans desire to

control and etch out and write the story of his own destiny. The

Emperor is a man rooted in his ways and views and regimens but

confident that this is the right structure and way of things.

V-THE HIEROPHANT


32/384

Page | 32

"I would like a story," says the salamander to the Hierophant.

"And what would you like to hear, little one?" The words come

slowly. Each syllable seems to be drawn from deep within, pulledup from an individual rootlet. The salamander is used to it, and

patient.

"I want to hear how I may fly. I was content. And then one day

friend Caterpillar said he was sleepy. He slept for a long time until

I nearly forgot him. Until...yesterday a moth came to laugh at me.He laughed with Caterpillar's laugh, and with Caterpillar's voice

he said he had had a dream of wings."

"Ah." The sonorous exhalation seems to go on forever. "Ah, little

one; I am sorry. Caterpillar has that blessing. He may sleep and

dream of flight. He weaves a silken ritual around his body, and

then comes the day when that vision transforms him. You..."

"I wish to dream of flight too!" says Salamander very seriously.

"You may dream of it," says his friend and teacher, "I will not be

the one to deny you divinity. But just know that your own divinity

shall be attained along a different path than Caterpillar's. Do not

relinquish your dream, Salamander."


33/384

Page | 33

Meaning:

The Hierophants roots reach deep, entwined around secrets and

traditions and the ages. He believes in ritual and ceremony, in

pursuing knowledge and deeper meaning, and in the rigidity of a

belief system. He elucidates the spiritual and brings it to the

earthly plane. He is calm and in possession of himself, and he isthe teacher who can help unravel mysteries.

VI - THE LOVERS


37/384

Page | 37

In one of the oldest tales, there is the Choice: knowledge and

fulfillment of worldly senses, or the simplicity of an ever-present

now.To be drawn into an embrace, to seek that union that all souls ache

for and desire, to know the oneness of passion and love, and to

revel in it. Their eyes are open, but they gaze only at each other,

oblivious to the sun that goes on turning abovethem and the gaze

of the heavens. Neither gold an gem-encrusted crown of kings,nor grapevineand flower-twined crown of peasants grace their

brows, for the forces gathering around them make no such

distinctions; and indeed their own senses have no awareness of

such either.

Take this seed, he says to her, placing an acorn in her palm.

Water it with the fount of your spirit and your intentions.

And we shall see what grows of that, she replies.


38/384

Page | 38

Meaning:

Union, balance, energy, flow, love, desire, passion, melding of

heart and mind, forming a union or marriage. Though it can be

romantic in nature, it is not neccessarily so. The Lovers is also

about determining values and struggling with choicesthe

innocence embodied in the turtledoves is a contrast to the shinyred apple in the embrace of the snake, one of the oldest symbols

of temptation. Likewise, the pure simplicity of the calla lily

contrasts the lush and sensual complexity of a rose.

VI - THE CHARIOT


42/384

Page | 42

She is Winged Victory, the goddess Nike, or Maeve. She comes

weeping from the skies, confident and sure of herself. She has

summoned the unicorns of the sea out from the foamy depths.They serve her willingly, bowing as is ever in their nature to such

purity of intent. The ocean swells themselves are tamed beneath

the enchanted wheels of her chariot. The glittering waves crash

and roar with the stre ngth of the sea, but as she guides her

unicorns across the glistening track, the waves fall still before heran into a quiescent and shining mirror path.

This stillness in what is in eternal motion stirs awareness in the

denizens of the deep. Fr om underneath, the spirits of the ocean

whisper to sea god, and in a swirl of aquatic color, they dance to

the surface to greet one whose willpower and mastery is so

undeniable as to be capable of overcoming even the wild, natural

fury of the seas.


43/384

Page | 43

Meaning:

Triumph over obstacles achieving victory, focusing intent and

will, establishing an identity, self-confidence, maintainingdiscipline, assuming the reins of power and authority, and driving

with the unwavering certainty in a cause. Control must be

exercised in a constantly shifting with people and emotions and

circumstances all around. Like the tenuous border where sea

meets sky, a constant tension of push and pull of air against liquidis maintained, and to ride to victory, one must be able to achieve

the confidence and knowledge to walk upon that fragile surface.

VII - THE STRENGTH


47/384


48/384

Page | 48

Meaning:

Courage, calm composure and patience, compassion, persuasion

and soft control, tempered force. Managing impulses to control

anger and force, rather than be manipulated by them. One must

have faith in success, though it might not come at once, and it

may not come very easythe lion is fierce, and the fire he guardsis a flame that burns. Strength must be tempered sometimes.

Unshakable resolve is what will see through to the desired end.

There are many kinds of strength. There is fierce and bestial

power, brute force of tooth and claw, the fierce winged

protectiveness called forth by a swan for her young. There is thesteady strength of an oak springing from a tiny acorn but growing,

growing into a mighty tree. There is the strength of bamboo,

swaying and internalizing forces from around but not breaking.

IX - THE HERMIT


52/384

Page | 52

He is the seeker who has turned his back to the noise and light and

distractions of the world. In the city, the fragile light of the stars is

drowned by the glare and the haze of life.He takes his lantern. He was told by the wise woman that it was a

bit of a captured star, and it knows its way home. The lonely beam

of light pulls him clear of the valleys and high above a glittering

lake whose surface is a liquid mirror. His star-lantern marks the

path, and he does not know where he goes, but each step lights thenext, and the next, and the next.

He climbs to distant pinnacle that is clear of the smog of

humanity, and as he retreats the air attains a spicy fragrance. It is a

purity he does not know he has missed until he breathes it for the

first time, and then it is as if the body aches for and cannot live

without thar breath of life. Others have been here before him, but

the steps are pristine and there is no indication of their passage. It

is the nature of the place that to each who comes, they are the first

and the only, and no other will tread there until the present visitor

is forgotten.

It is a long journey, and during the course of the trek, his eyes

finally become accustomed to the darkness of the wild. He leaves

behind his memory of the city. The star in his lantern burns hot

and bright, and her sisters in the heavens swirl in a joyous dance.

X - THE WHEEL


57/384

Page | 57

Storybooks begin, once upon a time ... and then, like a neatlywrapped package, they come to The End.But true tales have no beginning or end. They do not exist only

when men say Exist! but are always there, reverberatingthrough time in a weaving dance. We try to contain it withbeginnings and ends, to put boundaries on everything simplybecause our own lives are bounded by birth and death. And thuswe seek to lessen the power of what is immortal. The tales have apower that reaches beyond.

The Fates weave the threads of life eternally, one tied to another.Snip this thread here. Weave it into the tapestry there. Slowly, asthe cloth rolls away, the images emerge.Night follows day in the cycle of the heavens. Years bloom withthe fresh buds of spring, to the sweltering profusion of longsummer days, the shower of leaves as auturmn sets in and the

long, dormant wait and sleep of winter ... and on it goes, and on.It is an inexorable and timeless tale.The walls and beauty that artisans create will one day fall, andnew structures will rise up on those remains. And so do theindividual fortunes of any one person, on a cycle that may last aday or two, or years on end. Change will come.


58/384

Page | 58

Meaning:

The Wheel of Fortune Destinythe weaving of lifes threadscoming together, fate, turning points, movement and change,patterns and cycles, an interconnected world. The knotwork in thestained glass window circles around the wheel as a single goldenthread without start or finish. The rise and fall of the wheel as itturns is as the changes of life. If the world seems to be closing inand crushing hope with its weight, step back to see the biggerpicture and the upturn that is soon to come.

XI - JUSTICE


62/384

Page | 62

To the Egyptians, when death claimed a soul, one was brought to

be judged by the goddess Maat. She weighed the soul on her

scales against a feather, and if found wanting, that soul was sent tothe underworld.

There are those who say Justice is blind, but that is not so. Her

eyes blaze white, not with blindness but with the pure white of

truth. She sees through mere flesh, peeling aside the layers of

emotion, dissemination, illusion, and perception, and into theheart, where the unfettered awareness resides. There is no hiding.

She stands for karma. The souls gathered in the butterflies hover

near, and she bears the feather close to her heart, like a sword.

She judges not with her own bias or with grays of maybes, but in

terms of stark black and white. Things are as they arefair,

impartial, and right. And there is a balance that is achieved when

true justice has been meted out, and evening-out of what was not

settled correctly.


63/384

Page | 63

Meaning:

Balance, harmony, equilibrium, assuming responsibility, weighing

all sides of an issue before making a decision, choosing with full

awareness. Justice relies on a logical mind, capable of objective

ruling on situations and adjusting what needs reassessment.

Meditation on right, morality, and duty, and perhaps compromisemust be made in order to truly even both sides of a situation.

Admit and acknowledge the truth. Comprehend the results of your

actions and the connections they have to everything around, and

from that, set a course for the future.

XI - THE HANGED MAN


67/384

Page | 67

In the foggy depths of the woods, he dips his fingers into the red

clay, and with a careful hand he trails the patterns across his skin,

across chest and arms and face. The spirals of red draw his mendinto that place of the deep meditation where thought becomes

action and where the stillness speaks with the voices of the gods.

Where the silence in his soul is absolute, he rises to his feet. The

spirits of the forest watch as he passes, in mute witness and

respect. They reach out tentatively to touch his hallowed flesh andfall into his footsteps. With solemn dignity, the procession arrives

at the great oak.

The Hanged Man makes his choice of self-sacrifice. He goes

willingly to his fate, unhinges his grip on control, and endures for

the sake of the rewards such knowing sacrifice may bring. Ivy

creeps along his body, binding and entwining him physically to

the tree, until they are as one. Ivy, symbol of determination and

the unbreakable strength and will of the human spirit.

In an echo of his action of faith and sacrifice, the fey fold back

their wings and tree-fall from their perches in the tree, entrusting

themselves to the winds.


68/384

Page | 68

Meaning:

Letting go and surrendering to experience and emotional release.

Accepting what is, and giving up control. Suspending action.

Sacrifice. As odin hung upon the World Tree, Yggdrasil, in his

quest for knowledge, thus to attain the greatest rewards, one must

be willing to give up the self. The Henged Man also urges you toreverse your view of the world and see things in a new light.

Sometimes a change in ones perception of the world is required a

subtle shifting of the state of mind.

XII - THE DEATH


72/384


73/384

Page | 73

Meaning:

Closing the door to the past and opening a new one, going through

transition, changing status, shedding the old and excess, bowing to

inexorable forces and sweeping changes. The old must be set

aside and burned away to make way for the new. The ancient

story of the phoenix is one that is echoed and repeated in dozensof cultures. She is death and rebirth and life, encapsulated in a

single symbol. Irises are associated with death, as Iris was the

Greek goddess of the rainbow, which she used to travel down to

earth with messages from the gods and to transport womens souls

to the underworld. Deadly nightshade is a highly poisonous plant,symbol of deception, danger, and death. And sumac, in the

victorian language of flowers, says, "I shall survive the change."

of one, and the other will be smothered.

Meaning:

Harmony and equilibrium, balancing of opposites, healing.

Moderation of extremes, self-restraint, harnessing absolute forces,

and reining them in to be wielded to a purpose. Holding opposites

apart from one another denies their power of unity. By drawing

them together to merge in a measured fashion, and understanding

what one bestows upon the other, a beautiful synthesis can be

created. Sometimes all that holds the two apart is a wall belief.Being flexible and understanding that there is more than one way

to perceive the world can go a long way towards breaking down

that invisible wall.

She feels the walls closing in on her, oblivious to the fact that she

is not completely surroundedthere is the wide world open to

either side! The skies cry with songs of beauty and freedom, butshe tucks her head down to hide in fear, bound within walls and

shackles, though it is only a thin thread that bends her, red as her

hearts blood, and the key is so close, so close. Look up! You

wish cry at her. Raise your eyes and look around!

But her ears are deaf to any voice but that of the Devil. All shehears and feels is the Devil dancing above her, driving her,

goading her, pressing down upon her. Tap tap tap goes the

dancing of his hooves in a merry,mocking rhythm. Tap tap tap in

the seductive patterns of entrapment of the willing. Tap tap tap he

dances, and he laughs with the knowledge that it is with such ease

he can hold a vibrant spirit captive.

Look up! Faintly, the voice pierces through the stones and seeps

up into her body, and she reaches out.


83/384

Meaning:

Losing independence, addiction and enslavement, caught up in the

material realm, overindulgence, choosing to stay in the dark,

pleasures, lust, and desire. Feeling hopelessness close in and limit

the options. The Devil plays on your desires with a masterful

touch. Break free from the puppeteers strings by looking beyondthe material blockades and temptations.

87/384

Page | 87

Upheaval and sudden change, crisis, releasing all emotion,

suffering a blow to the ego, revelation and seeing through

illusions.A seed drifts down on the wind, deposited lightly to the ground.

From it a tree takes root. As the years turn, it growsa slender

sapling, glowing with green life. And the years turngrand and

stately, it reaches to the sky, challenges the heavens. And the

years turnit is a mighty giant among giants, lovingly craftedliving wood and greenery that is Natures masterpiece.

Birds come to rest in its glorious limbs, joyous and singing, full of

songs inspired by the heat of sun and the rush of wind and the

endless skies. Men and women come to sleep in its velvety,

dappled shade and dream visions of running water and soft, dark

loam and home. Even in the depths of winter, so thick anh

established has its nerwork of branches and foliage become that

there is shelter for any traveler, man or beasta heaven for any

should wearily pass by.

And the years turnand it has been here forever, ebtablished and

deep-rooted. Its branches touch the vault of the sky, brushing the

star lightly and caressing the moon as she swings past. Its roots

reach into the earth to wrap around the pulsing beat that trembles

in the darkness of the deeps.


88/384

Page | 88

And then with a fickle turn, as easily as she graced this tree with

manifold blessing. Nature rescinds her gift. She throws a terrible

spear from the heavens. What has taken centuries to coax forthfrom a tiny seed is destroyed in an instant, in a deadly arc of

blindingly beautiful, blazing lightning.

It sunders.

It sears white-hot.

It shatters to splinters.The earth shuddenrs at the tremors of the blow.

Meaning: Catastrophe, sudden change, crisis, releasing all

emotion, suffering a blow to the ego, revelation, and seeing

through illusions. A necessary disruption to the strarus quo

violent and explosive upheaval as the only way to break through

the long-established patterns. Fantasies shattered by the harsh and

brutal hand of reality. Making a clean to re-examine belief

structures and opinions.

XVII - THE STAR


93/384

Page | 93

Silver gilded footsteps glide on silver flowing streams with the

silver glowing starlight etching night in silver seams.

There is no sun. There is no moon. In the hushed stillness of theblackest night, only a trail of stars glitter like a fortune in

diamonds upon the velvet carpet of the sky. The river of the milky

way pours across the heavens in a cascade of starry pinpricks, and

she comes dancing down that lane to where the celestial river runs

to the silver-etched earthly waters.Water and earth and air become a single element in her presence.

Walk on one, swim through the other, it matters not which; they

are as she wills them to be.

She dances, and her feet are so light, there is but the barest

disturbance of ripples upon her watery dance floor. She dances the

dance that the stars have choreographed in their millennia of

gazing down on the earth. It is their silent homage to the burning

spirit they have witnessed. It is the dance and flow of human life,

condensed into a pure essence of painful beauty. It is hope make

into a visual form.


94/384

Page | 94

She stretches and strains, sways and arches, leaps to impossible

height in time to a tempo that beats in the silent pulses of the stars

above. A cascade of river droplets sprays forth from her swirlingform. Where each droplet falls, a flowery tendril slowly sprouts.

She dances tirelessly through the night, inhuman and yet

embodying humanity in her very being. When the glow of dawn

touches the eastern sky, she clasps her silvery cloak tight. There is

a sudden weariness to her eyes, but is edged with triumph as well.She steps up the slowly furling carpet of the Milky Way, back to

her sister stars in the night, where they gleam and wait for ther

next true night to dance again.


95/384

Page | 95

Meaning:

Regaining hope, faith in the future, inspiration. Finding the still

and silent place within your being of serenity, tranquility amid

trouble, harmony, offering without reservations, sharing and being

generous. The harshness of daylight or even moonlight is gone,

and there is nothing but the calm and nonjudgmental eyes of the

stars. There is a peace to that, a space to gather up, prepare, anduplift the spirit. Let loose doubts and fears to the embrace of the

night. The stars have always been symbols of guidance and hope,

the light to lead you home. A resilient fish, carp symbolize

strength, perseverance, courage, and determination of spirit. The

chrysanthemums, commonly representative of longevity, are alsosymbols of hope.

You demi-puppets that by moonshine fo green sour ringlets make,

whereof ewe not bites, and you whose pastime is to make

midnight mushrooms ...- Shakespeare, the tempest (Act V, Scene I)

The watchful eye of the sun has closef, and harshness that day

shines upon the world is blurred and erased. The moon rises upon

this, her domain, to spy on those of the half-world who begin tocreep forth. A mushroom faery ring glows bright in those soft,

silvery waves. As the moments pass and the gloam closes in, they

glow brighter and brighter with their own phosphorescence to

light the path for the faery queen.

She comes hither! cry the sprites on the wind, with voices so

lovely they drive mortals mad with longing. Make way! call the

will-o-the-wisps, darting through the woods. They spark and

glitter to taunt and lead astray any human who might be passing,

but there is no human toy for them to catch hold of tonight. The

dryads clasp hands from among the gray birches and shed their

leaves as they step forward lightly to be handmaids to the

approaching queen. As she glides through the forest, anemones

spring up beneath her bare feet, and she smile as she begins the

dancing.


101/384

Page | 101

Make way! Make way!

The night holds sway;

Lead on the dance to fend off day!With mad delight, come hear us sing;

No sorrow here, no pondrous thought,

No secrets held, no secrets sought,

For all thats wrought in faerys ring

Is wild abandonLet sense take wing!


102/384

Page | 102

Meaning:

Fears and anxieties, believing illusions, experiencing distortion,

chasing after fantasy, dreams and visions, disorientation. The feyare masterful at the arts of illusion, and the dangers of stepping

into a mushroom faery ring are well known. The Moon is the

realm beyond the known and comfortable and predictable. It is the

otherworld, awesome and inspiring in its own right, and daunting

and dangerous if ill-respected. It is easy to be the waywardtraveler who is distracted by will-o-the-wisps and led astray to be

lost, wandering, in the woods, but if one keeps the wits about a

glimpse beyond the bounds of sunlit reality is the rarest honor and

most inspiring of enchantments. It is a doorway to hidden

unknowns, and the wellspring of mingled dark and light that seeps

forth from there. That is the gift of the Moon.

XIX - THE SUN


107/384

Page | 107

In a flare of liquid gild that pours across the sky, the sun rises. It is

the brilliant star of day, banishing the thin and wispy light of his

night-bound siblings in the rich glow of dawn.The king of the birds emerges from his slumbering roots as

morning mist rises in hazy waves from the dew-dampened

ground. His feathers gleam iridescent under dawns rosy palette of

warmth-tinged light. His companion mounts, and together they set

wing across the lands of their domain. They glide across thevalleys, hearing the songs rise from workers in the fields. They

soar up high and taunt the mountaintops with and elusive brush of

wingtips across the upper peaks.

The denizens of the day trail in an entourage of avian delight.

They pour across the sky, trailing after the sun in the arc of its

journey to western horizon.


108/384

Page | 108

From fallow field and verdant vale,

From sun-bleached shores with diamond grains,

And moonlit trails that trek like veinsThrough mountain, river, past the end

Where sky is but a ghostly veil

That to Beyond transcends ...

I summon all the winged kin

From this horizon to the boundsOf what is dreamt and all surrounds!

The voices of forbidden songs

Will spiral through and center in

To fall where they belong!


109/384

Page | 109

Meaning:

Enlightenment and understanding, glory, achieving prominence.

The constant renewal of life, vitality, filled with radiant joy and

energy, invigoration, and good health. Being full of assurance and

confidence, a clarity of vision and purpose lit by the clear

daylight.From the times of ancient civilizations up to the present growth. It

has always been a symbol of life and godesses in cultures

throughout the agesyoung and glorious and brilliant, full of

vigor and blazing splendor. The strength and power of the gods

pours forth in the nourishing glow of the sun

XXJUDGEMENT


114/384

Page | 114

Upon the arrival of Judgment Day, an angel sounds the horn to

send out the Blast of Truth. Let all the souls rise to that call then

and lay their deeds out to be seen and judged by all. Let the spiritbe cleansed with burning light and fire, to be made pure.

There comes a time for everyone when an accounting must be

held. It is time to evaluate the phase of life just past, to recognize

and to appraise with an unbiased mind and honesty to oneself.

Every action has its result, for good or ill, to be rewarded or tobear the need for absolution and forgiveness, cleansing and

atonement. And beyond that is the transition on to the next phase,

a rebirth and a clean slate to begin again.

Red poppies are a symbol of sleep and death, sometimes as an

offering for the dead. Like blood, their color stains the fields,

brilliant and brautiful. From that life-filled expanse of delicately

swaying crimson and gold, butterfies take wing to bear the spirits

onward in the metamorphosis of the soul. The wide freedom and

endless blue of the beyond awaits.


115/384

Page | 115

Meaning:

Release and renewal, absolution, the freshness of a new dawn, a

new start. Making a judgment, though it might be harsh and

difficult to face; the necessity of hard choices. Face down those

decisions, recognize the need, and forgive. Reawakening the

mystery of birth and death. The voice of destiny summons youonward. Hearing that undeniable call and being drawn to act upon

it; knowing what must be done.

XXI - THE WORLD


119/384

Page | 119

The pulse of the world ripples in an affirmation of all the life that

it holds and all the death that passes. Every leaf and tree, every

creaturefrom the smallest insects to the great singing whalesthe patterns that they weave as they are born and die and cycle

onward, all tremble in unison with that single heartbeat, brought

together by a mighty conductor. It is a wonderfully discordant

harmony, the essence of balance a unity of disparate parts.

She sets the crown of insight lightly on her brow. She wears thegirdle of truth. She reaches within and feels the lifeline that she is

connected to as well. She touches it, and it is like a tangible

presence in her heart, delicate but strong. The shining web of

connections stretches from her mind, above, so high! She feels at

one with the soaring birds, know the stretch and strain of wing

muscles flexing and balancing on the wind. Knows the kiss of

sunlight on her outstretched leaves and branches, feels the slow

erosion of water on stone over the millennia.

There is no past or present or later, for this heartbeat has pulsed

from the first spark of the universe, and it will beat until the end

of time. It is an everlasting moment of Now, and shimmering web

of connection thrums gloriously hot in her veins. With a sudden

clarity, she knows in that instant that she is blessed.


120/384

Page | 120

Meaning:

Satisfaction and peace of mind. A successful conclusion, and the

end is in sight. Achieving balance, melding and blending to bring

together in unison the multiple songs of life. The World is a card

of realized goals and prosperity. It is a state of completion,

through not without a share of involvement and hard work toattain. When ones goal have been reached, there is a space, a

quiet breath of a moment in time when a feeling of ultimate

fulfillment spills through the consciousness. It is a wondrous and

precious moment, the culmination of hand work, to see your

dreams come true and to know that elusively mythical treasurepromised in fairy tales the hearts desire

ACE OF CUPS

The water element. Deep feelings, intimacy, attunement,

compassion, love.

It is the initial drop of water that falls upon the glass-smoothsurface of a lake. There is an almost imperceptible ripple that

starts to spread in expanding rings. It is the shrug of a tiny

earthquake that sends a shudder up through ocean waters to

culminate in crashing waves upon a distant shore. It is the first

stirring of emotion, of compassion and love, of intimacy, and ofattunementthis tiny drop of potential that will join into a river

of all the other mingled droplets from humanity. They all trickle

together to flow into one vast sea of swirling emotions.

The still surface of the water in the suit of cups is like a scrying

mirror. Delve into those crystalline depths, heed the twinges of

intuition, and then raise the glass and drink deeply. This grail

shines with a light of understanding and inner knowledge.

These are the guardians of the cups: the denizens of the deep. The

fish and the ancient spirits of the sea. They swim with a fluid

grace through the oceans depths, living in a dance of eternal

motion. The waxing and of the moon pulls the tides and currents

of the sea to swell and ebb, and this rhythm is felt thrumming

through the blood of all dwell in the oceans embrace.

TWO OF CUPS


128/384

Making a connection, a union, partnership, bringing together of

opposites, the potential for bonding.

This is the melding of water and earth and air, the alchemy ofelements. Golden as the goblets, the fish swim through the waters

(or is it air that they glide through?). the dryads coil around each

other, braided into an embrace as fluid as the air (or is it the sea?)

that they are surrounded by.They are soulmates. They twist

together to form one solid truck, and yet they retain theirindividuality and their own colors.

Like the harmonious swirl of a yin-yang, they circle one another

in a liquid push and pull that unifies. They share a cup. Drink,

one whispers, proffering the goblet.

I accept, one responds, and takes it into her hands. They drink

deeply, at once, and the shared sap flows down into their roots.

The other cup balances precariously on an outstretched branch.

They do not seem to notice it, though the spirits and sylphs watch

it carefully. For now it stands stable, but as the trees grow, as the

branches stretch and uncoil and burst into bloom, will that cup

still stand upright or will it tip and tumble to the ground, spilling

its precious liquid?


129/384

Page | 129

Meaning:

The Two of Cups is about making a connection, a union, a

partnership. It is the bringing together of opposites and the

potential for bonding. It is a relationship. Like a living organism,

relationships grow; the ones that are strong become pillars of

stability , and the weak connections are gradually forgotten and

fall apart.
