Daily Mindfulness
Now is the time to get to work - what do we need to get rid of or transform? What is holding us back, no longer useful to our forward progress? Time to realign ourselves and remember to be gentle with yourself as this process can be brutal - but it is also necessary. The Tower This is a big blast of powerful and transformative energy coming at us... Flames blast from a mouth (the Hebrew letter Pe means mouth) and there is a huge Eye blasting out lightning. Crowley says the Eye refers to either the Eye of Horus or the Eye of Shiva. .. . This is a natural process that shouldn't be a massive cataclysm. It can FEEL like one but it is necessary to let go of things that no longer serve us or may be holding us back. In the main definition of this card we see "danger, ruin and escape from prison." .. . Escape from prison. That is a great way of seeing this card. Whatever is holding us back from growing and moving forward needs to be destroyed. We need to let this blast help us transform where we are stuck to where we need to be. Trust this process. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #teachingthetarot #thegreatwork #thetowercard #naturalprocess #necessarydestruction #whatisholdingyouback #letgoofthingsthatnolongerserveyou #trusttheprocess #keepmovingforward

Time to express who we fully are - all sides and shadows. Embrace everything that is you! The Moon Let the Illusion of the World pass over thee, unheeded, as thou goest from the Midnight to the Morning. (BOT) .. . One of my favorite cards, looks kind of spooky and unreal and perfect for symbolizing the night and dreams and also the nightmares that can take us while we sleep. While the Priestess has the happier aspects of the Moon, the Moon itself is a bit darker? .. . Look at the colors on the card - the moonlight gives everything a twilight zone vibe. That light illuminates EVERYTHING - including the things we might be trying to hide from ourselves. But look closer - it is lighting up a path for us to walk, it may not be an easy path but it is there for us! .. . Crowley says of this path: It is guarded by Tabu. She is uncleanliness and sorcery. Upon the hills, are the black towers of nameless mystery, of horror and of fear. It needs unconquerable courage to begin to tread this path. .. . The scarab/water spider is carrying the sun on its back - out of the water and that tells us this isn't never ending darkness and it will end. In The Book of Thoth, Crowley says, "Whatever horrors may afflict the soul, whatever abominations may excite the loathing of the heart, whatever terrors may assail the mind, the answer is the same at every stage: How splendid is the Adventure!" .. . The darkest hour before the dawn, the brink of important change - yes! This is a time to let the Moon illuminate everything for us to see - to study it, to embrace it and not fear it. We have all sorts of things inside that make us who we are - don't shun the less pretty sides but be honest about them. If it is something to change, then stand firm and do so knowing you will become stronger for it. This is a powerful energy and magic! .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #thegreatwork #teachingthetarot #themooncard #illuminatethedarkness #shadowwork #followyourpath #faceyourself #howsplendidistheadventure #moonmagic #lunarenergy #embraceyourself Daily Mindfulness
What are we ready to birth into this world? Princess of Disks Earth of Earth - "she is strong and beautiful, with an expression of intense brooding, as if about to become aware of a secret wonder." .. . Earth of Earth makes her the lowest court card of the lowest suit. She is the Malkuth of Malkuths, pregnant with all possible potentials. The key to perpetuating life in the universe. .. . Creation, growth, generous, kind and courageous. This card brings new growth, new starts and keeps us grounded in the earth. Be excited! We create our universe! ... . #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #thothtarot #learningthethothdeck #princessofdisks #earthofearth #perpetuatinglife #creatingourworld #wecreateourworld #newgrowth #becourageous #powerfulfemaleenergy Daily Mindfulness
This happens to be my Destiny card and is the perfect energy for getting things done. This two helps us stand strong in our own power with balance and harmony Two of Wands This card is explosive in energy - The Reds of Aries with Mars loving it there. Crowley says that this is a strong astrological marriage in Chokmah (Where elements first manifest) and makes the Two of Wands fire in its best and highest form - it represents what he calls "Will in its most exalted form - ideal Will, independent of any given object." .. . These wands are Tibetan Dorjes and represent directed power of the gods. They serve as the divine instrument of destruction that must precede the creative cycle. You have to break something to fertilize it. .. . Boldness, courage, strength. Influence over others. This is where we take control of our own Will and channel it into creating what we need. We rule our own domains and this is our opportunity to create exactly what we want in life. Plan well and use this energy to make it happen. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #powerfultarotdeck #crowleythothtarot #learningthethothdeck #twoofwands #fireinitsbestform #controlyourwill #channelyourenergy #createyourgoals #youhavetobreakafeweggs #bebold #becourageous #createthelifeyouwant Daily Mindfulness
Time to focus - see things clearly and get some forward momentum Knight of Swords Fire of Air - This Knight flies on his horse with propellers on his back! Fiery air sounds like it could be a destructive wind but also a swift and precise energy that can cut through any trouble we find ourselves in. .. . Active, clever, subtle fierce, courageous - inclined to domineer. Crowley says, "the moral qualities of person thus indicated are activity and skill, subtlety and cleverness. He is fierce, delicate and courageous, but altogether the prey of his idea, which comes to him as an inspiration without reflection." .. . This is a time to use our intellect and keep the mind sharp. But also be aware that if we don't balance the analytic mind with our basic humanness, we can become cruel and lose our warmth. .. . #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #dailytarotcard #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarot #crowleythothtarot #thegreatwork #tarotstudies #knightofswords #fireofair #keenmind #staysharp #intellect #swiftmoving #cutthroughconfusion #staybalanced #thinkbeforeyouact Daily Mindfulness
The Sun I rarely draw this card but when I do I know it's time to access my inner generator and get to creating. We have unlimited energy here and we should grab that vitality and optimism - and keep on shining. .. . As the Sun constantly regenerates so do we. At one time people thought the Sun died each night but now we know that isn't true. Sunlight is perpetual and Death is an illusion and the night will end with another day of Sun. The Sun is a symbol of creation and motivation and continuation. Like the kids on the card, we should be dancing with this energy and exploring how to express ourselves in a never ending way. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #learningthethothdeck #bookofthoth #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #aliestercrowley #thelema #thegreatwork #teachingthetarot #thesuntarotcard #thenextstage #regeneration #newlife #lordofthenewaeon #aeonofhorus #emancipatemankind #movingonwardandupward #newdaydawning #outdatedbeliefs #newgrowth #continuation #creation #motiviation #expressyourself Daily Mindfulness
It's The Happy Goat Devil! And that is what he brings us - joy, a sense of humor and the ability to see our challenging issues with grace and balance. The Devil From the Book of Thoth: This card represents creative energy in its most material form; in the Zodiac, Capricornus occupies the Zenith. It is the most exalted of the signs; it is the goat leaping with lust upon the summits of earth... In this sign, Mars is exalted, showing in its best form the fiery, material energy of creation. .. . Masculine energy at its most masculine. And the symbolism on the card shows just that. This Devil that people have been brought up to fear is life itself - happy, creative, unrestrained life. That wants to grow and unite with everything. .. . Blind impulses, ambition, temptation - are a few of the ways this card can be defined - but if we accept our "good" impulses as well as the "bad" ones, we can remained honest and balanced. We are free to choose! Embrace, don't hide your shadow side - by hiding it, it becomes something bigger or darker than it should be. The Great Work is to reconcile ourselves into wholeness - and we do that by facing all our disparate parts and uniting them together. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #thegreatwork #thelema #thedeviltarotcard #reconcilingallourparts #becomingwhole #creativeenergy #creationoflife #appreciateeverything #findingtheperfectbalance #lovewhoyouare #transcendalllimitations #embraceyourself #teachingthetarot #learningthethothdeck Daily Mindfulness
This Ace is all about opening our hearts and finding emotional balance Ace of Cups "This card represents the element of Water in its most secret and original form. It is the feminine complement of the Ace of Wands, and is derived from the Yoni and the Moon exactly as that is from the Lingam and the Sun. (BOT) .. . Water and waves burst up and outward, radiating light bursts and love, energy, creativity and beginnings. This is a time to open your heart and your emotions to get you started on your way. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #powerfultarotdeck #thegreatwork #aceofcups #waterelement #radiantenergy #creativebeginnings #openyourheart #letyouremotionsflow #stayopen #newbeginnings Daily Mindfulness
Off with their heads! Irrational thought's heads anyway. Now is the time to master objective thinking and clarity! Queen of Swords Water of Air - The person symbolized by this card should be intensely perceptive, a keen observer, a subtle interpreter, and intense individualist. swift and accurate at recording ideas; in action confident, in spirit gracious and just (BOT) .. . This Queen is a badass - her water gives the air sustaining rain - or a drowning cloudburst. She also has a severed head in her hand, which is actually a good thing here. Swords = Yetzirah, the formative world. This matches the Ruach or intellect which is in our head. The Sword of reason, the Queen has lopped the higher faculties of intellect from our lower animal natures. She has Liberated Our Mind. .. . Water also gives the swords an emotional balance, sensitive and intelligent. This Queen is perceptive and observant of what is going on around her and brings us independence and confidence. .. . #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #powerfultarotdeck #thegreatwork #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotstudies #teachingthetarot #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #queenofswords #waterofair #perceptive #observant #liberatorofthemind #ruach #higherconsciousness #beconfident #standstrong #staybalanced Daily Mindfulness
This is one of those times where you are just "what's the point?" I'll never get it done... kind of days. Thing is, you know what needs doing but your mind is sabotaging the rest of you into negative self talk. Don't listen to it. Seven of Swords The sevens tend to be downer cards but this one tries to be "not so bad." This one has a planetary battle going on - each of the sword hilts have the symbols of: Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn. The bigger sword has the Sun atop it but it is outnumbered and kind of broken looking here. But! The card itself looks balanced and in order - again, like it is trying to not be so bad. .. . Partial success, Yielding up when victory is just within grasp. Not continuing the effort even though you are close to success. This is a time when we are maybe overwhelmed with a lot of stuff that needs to get done, or we don't feel up to doing something and we just fizzle out. So, take things one step at a time. Make lists. Focus on what is right in front of you. Stay centered and you can get it all done - without getting overwhelmed. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #sevenofswords #dontgetoverwhelmed #stayfocused #onethingatatime #youarealmosthere #dontgiveupnow #maketheeffort #staycentered |
