YES! After a day of the Stars rest - we are ready to grab our tiger by the tail and GO! Princess of Wands Earth of Fire, she is the fuel for the fire, self-assured, energetic and independant. She is that crazy audacious friend who is up for anything. The one that says, "let's see what happens when I do this." But, if she isn't careful, she will use her Earth fuel to not only start the fire but blow up the city as well. .. . Use this energy to blow out any old fears or habits - grab your tiger by the tail and become the person you know you can be! .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #learningthethothdeck #teachingthetarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #readingtarotcards #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #princessofwands #earthoffire #grabatigerbythetail #letgoofthefear #beallyoucanbe #fuelforthefire #selfassured #beindependent #energetic #whathappensifidothis #whatdoyouwanttoexperience

Oh I have never been so happy to see this lovely card show up - calming, soothing energy to heal our souls. She is our guiding light - keeping us in balance and harmony. The Star Crowley writes: From the golden cup she pours this ethereal water, which is also milk and oil and blood, upon her own head, indicating the eternal renewal of the categories, the inexhaustible possibilities of existence. The left hand, holds a silver cup from which also she pours the immortal liquid of life. .. . A card of hope and promise and rest and renewal, Nuit 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) .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #understandingaleistercrowleysthothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #teachingthetarot #bookofthelaw #thegreatwork #thestartarotcard #unimaginablejoy #hopeforthefuture✨ #promiseofgoodthingstocome #nuit #babylon #transcendinfinitespace #everymanandwomanisastar Daily Mindfulness
Time for cutting through all the stabby thoughts and getting our clear thinking on! Ace of Swords The Ace of Swords is the primordial Energy of Air, the Essence of the Vau of the Tetragrammaton, the integration of the Ruach (BOT) .. . The Ruach, again, is the intellect part of our mind and the mind wants to be in control and resists identifying with any higher levels of consciousness. So, we get all the anxiety and worry and sadness and conflict. The Swords tend to look really nasty - stabby cards, but! Used correctly, that stabby blade and cut through all of those conflicts. .. . Upon the blade is written Thelema - Greek for Will. And that is what the swords take to use. This Ace is the seed of our intellectual power - the beginnings of ideas, or just a reminder that we need to use our intellects here and while it is always good to stay balanced with our emotions, right now we need to use rational thought more. Invoke this Ace to help you see clearly! .. . Rational thought - a very much needed attribute right now when things are so up in the air and confusing is rampant. Stay balanced with your emotions and cut through the confusions! .. . #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #dailytarotcard #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #aceofswords #intellect #rationalthinking #clarityofthoughts #stayfocused #intellectoveremotions #thelema #yourwill Daily Mindfulness
So, while shuffling this group of cards did not want to shuffle into the deck, the chunk just sat together unwilling to go so, here we are then LOL The Empress came first, the rest followed together. The Empress On the Tree of Life, The Empress is Daleth - door, and woman is the door to life as we are born. Her planet is Venus and she is the second alchemical trump card, salt. Crowley describes her as the inactive principal of Nature - Salt is matter which must be energized by Sulfur to maintain the equilibrium of the Universe. (sulfur is the Emperor/Aries, ruled by Mars and was the lover of Venus!) .. . The Empress holds a strong feminine power - the power to create and to love. This is a gentle and compassionate power but incredibly strong and enduring. For some reason it reminds of that saying that Moms are supposed to say to naughty kids, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out." And while that is a joke, it is that kind of power she wields. Embrace this creative energy with love and use it to renew and replenish. .. . Ace of Wands This card represents the essence of the element of Fire in its inception. A solar-phallic outburst of flame from which spring lightnings in every direction. (BOT) Lady Harris also drew this Ace as a giant fiery Tree of Life. This explosive and fiery energy starts the wands suit going, the seeds of desire - our Will getting ready to roll. This is a potent energy but it isn't formed yet, so be sure to create a plan of action, goals, something to aim this energy at. Then hold on tight! .. . Nine of Disks Now this is a lovely looking card. It has balance and a calm feel to it. It sits in Yesod, which gives us satisfaction and reflection. Crowley tells us, "This card is ruled by Venus in Virgo. It shows good luck attending material affairs, favor and popularity. ... the mingling of good luck and good management." Complete realization of material things. We have put in the work and can now settle comfortably into life. There is a lot of fantastic energy here, so stay open to it and keep it flowing. What we give in life is what we get - so be sure to share this awesome abundance. .. . Prince of Cups Air of Water - Crowley didn't much like this Prince but he does make a splashy entrance. His eagle chariot blasts off the card in a wave of water and air. The air does make the water unstable - bubbles exploding out of a bottle - that can cause some explosive issues if not watched for. This is a clever Knight, emotional and artistic. But he can be reckless and stormy if not balanced. Think of the art on the card - you want to keep your waves and your clouds in balance so you don't tip your eagle over 😉 .. And you know what? This is a great combination. It is fairly balanced and emotionally stable as long as we stay mindful of what we are doing and why we are doing it. There is a strong creative start here - and with good management and a plan - we can take our ideas and make them a reality. Daily Mindfulness
Lady Harris illustrated this one so perfectly - all those crackly thoughts running amok in our heads - with no direction - out of control. I can relate to this on so many nights of no sleeping too. But there is hope! We just need to be brave enough to face the things we are hiding from. Nine of Wands Urk. This is just... unpleasant. Crowley says this is "agony of the mind." As balanced as Yesod gives on the middle column of the Tree of Life, Mars just takes over and we are left with this mess. Our minds are just filled with the mean reds here and Crowley says, "Consciousness has fallen into a realm unenlightened by reason. This is the world of the unconscious primitive instincts, of the psychopath, the fanatic." .. . Despair, cruelty, malice, loss and misery. While these all sound horrible, we need to realize we are in the realm of the mind and it likes analytic thinking. Often to the point of over-analysing everything. And when we do this, we often see truths we would rather ignore or hope will go away. The mind won't sugar coat this and when it happens we either stick our heads in the sand or we face the truth, as uncomfortable as that may be. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #thegreatwork #crowleythothtarot #thothtarot #nineofwands #agonyofthemind #overanalyzing #thinkingtoomuch #dontstickyourheadinthesand #facereality #stayfocused #thisistemporary Daily Mindfulness
Feeling ungrounded or emotionally wobbly? This Queen has the energy we need to rebalance and stay strong. Queen of Disks Water of Earth - lifegiving water for a dry Earth! In the Book of Thoth, Crowley says she is quietly passive but in its highest aspect. He also says, " She thus represents the ambition of matter to take part in the Great Work of Creation." .. . She is the Mother of this Element - stable emotionally and well grounded (water of earth) This is a strong and protective element as well as powerfully creative. She will create a loving and safe environment for when you need shelter from any storm. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofth #treeoflife #queenofdisks #waterofearth #lovingspacetocreate #safespace #comfortandsecurity #ambitionofmatter #thegreatwork #workofcreation #motherofearth #protected #emotionallystable Daily Mindfulness
Four of Wands This card sits in Chesed (the 4th sephira) and is the first one below the Abyss. Meaning that the 4's are the first solid manifestation of their suits. This is where the Demiurge comes in - a god who thinks he is the creator of its universe but is really only the 4th principal, not the first as he thinks, and unaware of the three who come before it. He is really only the visible manifestation of the invisible primal forces that created him. But! The Demiurge brings rule of law to the Universe - a characteristic that all the 4 small cards share. .. . Harris created a wheel by taking four wands and making them into eight spokes - with the dove of Venus and the Ram of Aries/Mars. Crowley says, "Venus in Aries indicates the one cannot establish one's work without tact and gentleness." .. . Perfection or completion of a thing built up with trouble and labor. Rest after labor. Now we are starting to manifest our goals, but it's only the start! Like the wheel, we need to keep turning and moving so we don't get stuck or stagnate. Stay balanced and focused and keep on moving forward. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #learningthethothdeck #bookofthoth #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #thegreatwork #minorarcana #fourofwands #staybalanced #keepmovingforward #dontstagnate #manifestyourlife #demiurge #belowtheabyss #thisisonlythebeginning Daily Mindfulness
Accurate representation of me today LOL Time to patiently hang around and just stop doing things. To wait, to watch and reflect. 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. Crowley also seems to feel that the Hanged Man as a whole doesn't really fit into the New Aeon tarot deck anymore and he warns us that, the whole idea of sacrifice is a misconception of nature." It is counterproductive. .. . 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. This is a time to well, hang for a bit. To stop and assess what is going on around us - we may not want to stop - this is going to require patience - and it is necessary so we don't run willy nilly forward without any direction. .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #thothtarotdeck #thothtarot #bookofthoth #treeoflife #crowleythothtarot #dailytarotcard #tarotcardoftheday #tarotreadersofinstagram #readingtarotcards #thegreatwork #thelema #thehangedman #bringenlightenment #dissolveseparateness #newaeon #aeonofhorus #descentoflightintodarkness #enlightentheunenlightened Daily Mindfulness
I like to think of this card as my brain when it is fully functioning. We have everything we need within us to do some pretty powerful things. Four of Disks We have an aerial view of a citadel, surrounded by a moat. The watchtowers hold the symbols for the elements. A place to create, a powerhouse. We have a balance and structure here, in the realm of Chesed, which also gives us stability and growth. What we started with the three is now coming to fruition. .. . We have a nice stability here and we feel good - the hard work we have put in has paid off and we feel a sense of security in our success. Also to note - it is always a good idea to share our success with others and not hoard or let it stagnate. Keep that energy and success, moving forward! .. . #walkthroughthethothtarot #tarotcardoftheday #dailytarotcard #tarotreader #teachingthetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #crowleythothtarot #tarotstudies #bookofthoth #treeoflife #fourofdisks #sharesuccess #keepenergyflowing #donthoard #stability #feelingsafeandsecure #constantchange #newgrowth #fruition Daily Mindfulness
I know we just drew Death a few days ago (and in a touch of synchronicity, I also drew Death in my RWS app) but after the last few days of heavy, unbalanced cards, this is probably a great one to have. Letting go of the heaviness and finding our balance again. Time to Dance with Death - in joy! Death The Universe is Change; every Change is the effect of an Act of Love; all Acts of Love contain Pure Joy. Die Daily! Death is the apex of one curve of the snake Life: behold all opposites as necessary complements, and rejoice! (BOT) .. . 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. Now is the time to cut out what we do not need in our lives - habits, patterns, fears, anger, old attitudes - anything holding us back has got to go. .. . #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 |
