Yuck. This just looks unpleasant. Especially after the five of disks yesterday - but! We will persevere! It is just going to take a lot of focus and determination and knowing this heaviness won't last. Ten of Wands Saturn (the 2 heavy bars) are crushing the light energy wands (Sagittarius) and this card sits way down in Malkuth. This card explodes with energy but it has absolutely no where to go. .. . Crowley says, "Malkuth depends from the other nine Sephiroth, but is not directly in communication with them. It is become a blind Force; so, the most violent form of that particular energy, without any modifying influences.... This is fire in its most destructive aspect." .. . This is a time to really stay open, communicate clearly and make sure you know exactly what you want to be doing. State your intentions clearly. If something is blocking you, take it step by step to figure out what is happening and how you can focus your Will to getting past it. Don't get angry or aggressive here - that is important - take a deep breath, this won't last long but you need to give yourself focus and stay balanced! .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #thegreatwork #tenofwands #communicateclearly #stayfocused #dontgetupset #focusyourwill #blockedenergy #stepbystep #onethingatatime #minorannoyances #deepbreaths

This card just looks like a heavy headache, doesn't it? And Crowley just does not like any of the fives LOL Five of Disks This card sits in Geburah and ruins the balance we had in the four. Without the previous structure we had we get antsy about things. This brings trouble to our material world and anxiety to us as we try to deal with it. .. . The best thing to do is take things one step at a time. Try not to feed the anxiety/stress machine by dealing with the things you can deal with and let go of the things that aren't actually in your way. This way you can find a working solution to the obstacles you face. .. . I thought this card rather timely and appropriate for all that is currently going on in the world. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarot #crowleythothtarot #learningthethothdeck #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #fiveofdisks #onethingatatime #dontstress #dealwithwhatsinfrontofyou #staybalanced #findyourbalance #staymindful #whatcanyoucontrol #whatisoutofyourcontrol #remembertobreathe #stayincontrol #thinkbeforeyouact  Daily Mindfulness
This card reminds me of Clive Barkers book, The Great and Secret Show - in which is there is a magic called, "The Art." And it works much like this Art here. Art Looking closely at the symbolism here, Art and Death are closely intertwined. The cauldron is the Death card - the raven/skull is the caput mortuum and shows the alchemical process of putrefaction, taking place inside. .. . It is also the consummation of the Royal Marriage that happened back in The Lovers. Art is the coagula to the Lovers solve. The White Tincture of the Empress unites with The Red Tincture of the Emperor. So, now we have from The Magus, The Empress and The Emperor - mercury, salt and sulfur. Combined and balanced creates the Universal solvent, Vitriol. .. . So, what does Vitriol dissolve? Old life - to create new. Behind the figures on the card is the Orphic Egg. Everything we see on this card is actually happening inside the Egg -everything is combining together - all the alchemical trumps before this are merging into one being and creating a new one. .. . I know this is a lot of alchemical information that can be confusing, but it comes down to this: combining, dissolving, creating something new. Everything that we were, that we are, that we have learned gets combined within us and makes something more. This is where we decide what it is we want and don't want and shape the life we want. This is our Great Work. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #thegreatwork #arttarotcard #creatingsomethingnew #universalsolvent #alchemicalvitriol #solveetcoagula #combiningtogether #alchemicaltrump #orphicegg #newlifefromdeath #decidewhatyouwant #createyourlife #whatwouldyouliketocreate  Daily Mindfulness
Ok, I had to laugh, I was actually thinking about this card as I shuffled and it appeared for me - brain waves are strong today. But also! On my daily tarot RWS app, I got The Star. So, that works out ok then! The Tower This is a big blast of powerful and transformative energy coming at us... Crowley describes this card as the manifestation of cosmic energy in its grossest form. It is the planetary trump of Mars and there is a lot of energetic destruction going on here. 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  Daily Mindfulness
Six of Disks So much better here than in the five! (Crowley seems to have hated all the fives LOL) We are balanced again and we have now gone through some good and bad times, giving us more experience in dealing with these things. We are also learning to stay balanced instead of rising and falling with the highs and lows life can toss at us. .. . In this way we are better able to see what is going on around us without reacting or overreacting to things first. This inner balance and harmony is an important part in our Great Work, it keeps us connected to the Universe and the energy flowing freely! .. . #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #thegreatwork #thelema #sixofdisks #stayincontrol #maintainingbalance #balanceandharmony #thinkingbeforereacting #learningfromexperience #stayingsteady #stayconnectedtogod #walkthroughthethothtarot  Daily Mindfulness
Blergh - so much energy but it's being wasted in the chaos. Take a deep breathe - this confusion won't last! Ten of Swords The stabbiest of the stabby cards. This card is the complete identification with the mind/intellect, and in this ten, is in the process of being destroyed. As Crowley says, "It is the ruin of the Intellect, and even of all mental and moral qualities." .. . The tens of the suits are the ends of whatever processes we are working with and also for a restart, to return to its origin in the ace to begin again. But this time we have more information, we have learned more about ourselves and what we can do and we need to carry this forward with us as we start again. .. . Rebirth, loss, pain, end of a cycle - these are all powerful and transformative events - they just seem a lot worse in the swords suits because of their airy, cold intellectual nature. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #thothtarot #tenofswords #stabbycard #endofacyclebeginningofanewone #rebirth #ruinofintellect #learningprocess #gatherinformation #transformationistakingplace  Daily Mindfulness
Look at his face - he seems to be so happy creating stuff. He has everything he needs right in front of him and is making things happen. The Magus First of the alchemical trump cards the Magus represents the element of Mercury. As Crowley says, "Mercury represents action in all forms and phases. His is the fluidic basis of all transmission of activity and on the dynamic theory of the Universe he is himself the substance thereof." .. . Skill, cunning, craft. The Magus is making his world, changing and shaping it according to his Will. That is how powerful he is and you are - you can create your world. Be sure you know exactly what you want though because that is what you are going to get. .. . A quote from the movie What Dreams May Come is perfect for this card: That which you believe becomes your world! .. . #lettersfromthoth #lettersfromthethothtarot #crowleythothtarot #ladyfriedaharris #learningthethothdeck #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #walkthroughthethothtarot #themagus #youcreateyourownreality #focusyourintentions #whatdoyouwanttodo #thegreatwork #alchemicaltrump #alchemicalmercury #manifestyourlife #thatwhichyoubelievebecomesyourworld  Daily Mindfulness
After a night of unsettling dreams and waking up with a vague anxiety, I asked the cards how I could deal with those emotions and it gave me this lovely Queen - who is perfect for calming one down. Queen of Cups Water of Water "Her image is of extreme purity and beauty, with infinite subtlety; to see the Truth of her is hardly possible, for she reflects the nature of the observer in great perfection." (BOT) .. . This is a reflection of a reflection here - this Queen is a mirror to whoever looks upon her. She is easy going and makes friends easily - because they see in her, themselves. She understands emotions and where they come from, but she doesn't pick up those moods or emotions - like Pema Chodron, she understands, "you are the sky - everything else is just the weather." .. . This is a passive energy, very watery with no ground or fire - so be careful not to pick up others energies or influences and take them as your own. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarot #thothtarotdeck #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #tarotstudies #thegreatwork #crowleythothtarot #queenofcups #waterofwater #passiveenergy #reflectothers #reflecttheobserver #watchwithoutbeingaffected #staygroundedinreality #donttaketheenergyofothers  Daily Mindfulness
This one has been showing up quite a bit lately and that is such a good thing! Are we wanting to do new things but old things are getting in the way? Habits keeping us stuck? It is so easy to stay in the mindset of "why change when things are ... ok?" Get out of the rut, use the old to dance you into the new! Death Death and the next card, Art - go hand in hand from an alchemical point of view. It almost seems as if Art should go first as it gives us hints of the final stages of the Great Work and Death is the final stage! The Orphic Egg is now in its last stages of development, getting ready to hatch! .. . Death is about putrefaction - and while that sounds absolutely disgusting, it is not. It is a vital part of the Great Work - putrefaction is the chemical changes which develop the final form of life from the Orphic Egg. .. . This Death is nothing to fear - this one is happily stirring up the sea bed, churning up new life. "So also the formula of continued life is death, or putrefaction." Crowley. If we want to continue to grow and thrive, to finish our own Great Work, we need Death. .. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotmagic #aliestercrowley #thothtarotdeck #learningthethothdeck #teachingthetarot #deathcard #dontfearthereaper #alchemicalputrefaction #newlifefromdeath #thegreatwork #orphicegg #theuniverseischange #nothingtofear #lettinggoofthingsthatnolongerserveme #purejoy #diedaily  Daily Mindfulness
I actually had this card show up in my dreams last night. How awesome is that synchronicity! The Universe Crowley says, "In the card there is a glyph of the completion of the Great Work in its highest sense, exactly as The Fool symbolizes its beginning. The Fool is the negative issuing into manifestation; the Universe is that manifestation, its purpose accomplished, ready to return. The twenty cards between them exhibit the Great Work and its agents in various stages. .. . We started with the Fool and took a long journey to get here - the Great Work. Finding out who we are and who we want to be. We went through alchemical changes and let go of outdated beliefs to keep up with our new Aeon. .. . This card represents the planet Saturn and the element of Earth. Saturn sits in Binah on the Tree of Life and the path of the Universe leads from Yesod down to Malkuth. Highest and lowest - the journey of our Great Work. The main definition of this card is synthesis, patience, persistence stubbornness in difficulty and the crystallization of the whole matter involved. .. . We have learned so much on our trip and now it's time to start again, ever refining ourselves as a dancing child of the Universe. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #tarotmagic #divinationtools #taroteverydamnday #thelema #thegreatwork #theuniversetarotcard #completion #synthesis #findingoutwhoweare #whowewanttobe #thefoolsjourney #learningnewthingseveryday #becomingwhole |
