Daily Mindfulness
You have to admire a Queen who can lop off anything that gets in the way of clear perception. Queen of Swords Water of Air - 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. This is the time to learn about everything around you with clear open eyes. The more you know, the more freedom you have. .. . #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #powerfultarotdeck #thegreatwork #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotstudies #teachingthetarot #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #queenofswords #waterofair #perceptive #observant #liberatorofthemind #ruach #higherconsciousness #beconfident #standstrong #staybalanced

A necessary pause. The Hanged Man Crowley tells us that this Hanged Man symbolizes the descent of the light into the darkness in order to redeem it. A massive sacrifice that will create/sustain/destroy the Universe. This is the annihilation of the self in the Beloved - a devotional ecstasy that dissolves all sense of separateness. This Hanged Man still represents the descent of light into darkness but not to redeem it as such. Redemption here is the duty of the enlightened to bring that enlightenment to the unenlightened. .. . So, that sounds painful and uncomfortable but in reality we have something we need to learn here. It is usually when our lives hit a crisis that we discover things in our lives that no longer serve us well and we need to ponder these for a time. Hanging in this place isn't easy but it is necessary. Think of it this way - things we can change easily can happen here, if we pause to really look at what is happening. If we don't, we hit Death and if we don't deal with it there, The Tower comes in to sweep it all away for us. Take the time to pause now. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #thegreatwork #thelema #thehangedman #bringenlightenment #dissolveseparateness #newaeon #aeonofhorus #descentoflightintodarkness #enlightentheunenlightened #lettinggoofego #seethingsfromadifferentperspective Daily Mindfulness
Eight of Disks Crowley says, "this card signifies intelligence lovingly applied to material matters, especially those of the agriculturist and engineer." This is a time of going with the flow - of letting things happen naturally instead of trying to force them. .. . This card, Prudence, is about waiting and having patience. We plant and wait. Wait and see what comes of the work we have done. Time and consideration is good here. We have learned not to rush headfirst into something now. Like an apprentice trying to learn his craft, we take things slowly and one step at a time. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #thegreatwork #eightofdisks #havingpatience #taketimetoconsider #learnyourcraft #waitandsee #dotheworkgettheresults #dontrush #takeyourtime Daily Mindfulness
When it feels so very dark - we have a light to guide us. The Star I love the New Era depiction of this card. A lighthouse that shows us the way home and to anywhere else we need to go. This is a guiding light for us and we too are an opening for light through which anything can manifest. . A card of hope and promise and rest and renewal, Nuit/Star gives: Unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death, peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice." (Book of the Law) .. . #dailymindfulness #newera #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #teachingthetarot #bookofthelaw #thegreatwork #thestartarotcard #unimaginablejoy #hopeforthefuture✨ #promiseofgoodthingstocome #nuit #babylon #transcendinfinitespace #everymanandwomanisastar Daily Mindfulness
A funny match for Lupercalia - especially if you imbibed a bit too much or got a tad to into the goat thong swatting. Seven of Water/Cups Remember the joy and happiness of the six? Yeah, we didn't stay balanced and now... uck. This is just too much here. This is also emotional wallowing or indulgence here - we get stuck in the loop of negative thinking and then we just stay there and that is very destructive. When we let our desires for false hope and fantasy we can get stuck in this distorted view. .. . Unbalanced and leaving us sinking in a mire of goop. We might be tempted to enjoy something that we think will make us feel better that may not be good for us - it is going to end badly. Time to release these false delusions and face reality. Don't let yourself be misled by what looks nice - it could just be a mirage. .. . #newereelementstarot #dailymindfulness #crowleythothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #thegreatwork #bookofthoth #treeoflife #sevenofcups #toomuchofagoodthing #tempted #falsepleasure #youneedtostaybalanced #balancedandcentered #thisisabadidea #stayincontrol #staypresent Daily Mindfulness
To be honest, I never liked the RWS Hierophant - it wasn't until I started with the Thoth that I really understood it and now with the New Era Elements, I like it even more. The Hierophant The Dalai Lama graces this card and is the perfect symbol to show that there really is no one path of faith - there are many. This isn't the average hierophant and he packs a lot of Thelemic symbolism and knowledge on his card. He is confident and supported in his work by that sword-bearing woman in front of him, embodiment of Venus. Crowley says she represents Venus as she now is in this new Aeon; no longer a mere vehicle of her male counterpart, but armed and militant. .. . He embraces the duality of the Empress/Emperor to become fully himself. When this energy comes to you, open yourself up to this wisdom from the Universe. Once you have learned and explored what is out there, then you are ready to share that knowledge with others who are ready to listen. .. . #neweraelementstarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #learningthethothdeck #bookofthoth #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #powerfultarotdeck #thehierophant #holyguardianangel #duality #openyourselftotheuniverse #aeonofhorus #thelema #thegreatwork #malefemaleduality #becomeyourfullself #learnandstudy #exploresomethingnew #seedsofideas Daily Mindfulness
Balance and harmony - when we are in unity that is when we feel our strongest. Nine of Fire/ Wands Look at how the lines of power all align and focus on a single point. That point is where we need to aim ourselves - spiritual and physical - when we find that perfect harmony, then things begin to fly! "Here the Moon, the weakest of the planets, is in Sagittarius, the most elusive of the Signs; yet it dares call itself Strength." (BOT) And it can be called Strength because it sits in Yesod on the Tree of Life. Yesod is the sphere of the Moon and its also the Foundation - the seat of the great crystallization of Energy. Crowley tells us, "the Nine represents always the fullest development of the Force in its relation with the Forces above it." .. . Tremendous and steady force that cannot be shaken. Victory, preceded by apprehension and fear. This is when we might have to dig deep and stay strong - trust in yourself and know you have what it takes to get things done. Be willing to adapt, improvise and overcome whatever heads your way and stay balanced and centered. Never doubt yourself. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #aliestercrowley #thelema #thegreatwork #nineofwands #adaptability #stayreadyforanything #neverdoubtyourself #balancedandcentered #digdeep #staystrong #youcandoallthethings #yougotthis Daily Mindfulness
This card always reminds me of the quote from the movie, Gladiator. What we do in life, echoes in eternity. Judgment/The Aeon Staring into a broken mirror a man contemplates his face. How does he see himself? How do we see ourselves? Judgment is a time of looking at our actions and behaviors. Every action we do has a reaction - and we need to keep that in mind always. .. . Crowley says of the New Aeon: The time for the birth of an Aeon seems to be indicated by great concentration of political power with improvements in travel and communication. General advance of philosophy and science with a need to consolidate religious thought. .. . The past echoes into our present and future - every cause has its effect. We need to look at what we have done and accept it - good or bad- and then let it go, forgive ourselves and be ready to move forward into a new Aeon with all we have learned. Make every act count. .. . #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #learningthethothdeck #bookofthoth #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #thegreatwork #thelema #crowleythothtarot #theaeon #aeonofhorus #newaeon #makeeveryactcount #oldways #newstateofbeing #wheredoyouwanttogo #whatwouldyouliketocreate Daily Mindfulness
The past few days have seen a lot of fiery energy and this card is full of it! Fiery energy that is LOL Time for some fun in the sun! The Sun This is a huge symbol of life and vitality. It gives us the clarity to see things clearly and an abundant source of energy, joy and love. 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
This is when you need to gather up your masculine/yang energies to get things done. The Emperor Compared to his Empress, the Emperor is all about structure and order - whereas she cares about her "children," he will use those children for what he thinks is the greater good. He is willing to do what it takes to see that things get done in the proper way. .. . He is the masculine life force, dynamic, authoritative and full of strong leadership. He is less emotional than his Empress - this energy is perfect for standing strong when feeling vulnerable. Stand strong in your power and trust yourself. .. . #crowleythothtarot #learningthethothdeck #bookofthoth #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #aliestercrowley #thelema #thegreatwork #alchemicaltrump #walkthroughthethothtarot #theemperor #alchemicalsulfur #redtincture #masculinelifeforce #standstronginyourpower #authority #trustyourself #fieryenergy |
