Weekly Tarot Message for Week of December 26, 2021


The Napo Tarot

This is the Wheel Spread

In this spread, The Shadow Card is placed in the middle of the spread with the corresponding cards surrounding it like a wheel

&&&&&

These readings are done with the human collective in mind.

They show us what is going on in our lives and affecting us, what challenges and obstacles we face, the positive and negative factors involved and advice as to what we should or shouldn't do.

&&&&&

1.  Card in the Middle is (The Shadow Card):  IV The Emperor
2.  Card Top Left is (The Past):  II of Cups
3.  Card Top Middle is (The Present):  XV The Devil  
4.  Card Top Right is (The Destination Card) Where We're Headed:  X of Wands

5.  Card on the Bottom is (The Hidden Card) representing the energies we can't see at the time of the reading:  0 The Fool  
6.  Card to the Right of the Hidden Card is (The Advice Card) VIII Strength (what we need to do or not do depending on the situation)  
7.  Card to the Left and directly under the Past Card is (The Outcome):  X The Wheel of Fortune 

&&&&&



This Week's Message:  

1.  IV The Emperor represents family, justice and someone respectful of tradition and customs.  
This card indicates that an individual is hovering in the background, cognizant and mindful of all that is taking place with a keen understanding of personalities, people and events.


2.  The II of Cups shows our interactions with one another.  It represents kindness, relationships, courtship, love and communication.    Interesting that this card is in the Past position.   Are these virtues now a thing of the past?  


3.   The XV Devil Card in the Present position tells us why we are seeing and experiencing all we're going through today.  The Devil represents cruelty, sadism, chronic illness, suffering, terror, ambition, power, and perversion.  


4.   The X of Wands represents oppression.  Not a particularly good card especially in the Destination position.  


5.  The Hidden Position is represented by O The Fool and represents the energies we can't comprehend (see or feel) but are very much influencing the situation we're in:  Incoherence, a lack of cognitive ability, nervousness, unable to focus and rationalize what is really going on.   


6.  The VIII Strength Card in the Advice position encourages us to do what we need to do (meditation, prayer, seeking spiritual help) in order to get through the obstacles and challenges we currently face.     


7.  The Outcome Card X The Wheel means that change (whether good or bad and we have no say as to what it will be) is always occurring.   Most of the time we are oblivious to change and only when it manifests into the open are we able to actually see and experience it.

This card means:  A period of crisis; rapid change; one cycle is leaving and another one beginning.  

*Note that the next card, after the Wheel of Fortune in the Tarot Deck is XI The Justice Card.  

-----
All in all I feel this reading gives us Hope in knowing that others are aware of what's going on and positioning themselves to intervene, on our behalf and at a pre-determined time, to stem the tide of suffering.

The numerical value of this reading is 4:  Interesting that IV represents the Emperor and Number 4 in general stands for a well built foundation, structure and stability.   I believe we are headed in that direction.

Weekly Tarot Message for December 19, 2021

 


The Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

1.  Top (Shadow Card) - IV of Pentacles:  Pride; greed; disregard for others; selfishness

2.  1st row Left (Past) - Page of Wands:   The Age of Innocence and Trust

3.  1st row Middle (Present) - XVI The Tower:  Unexpected event(s); natural disaster(s); chaos, massive change; destruction 

4.  1st row Right (Our Destination) - King of Wands:  Taking matters into our own hands; standing up for what we believe in; rebelling against authoritarianism 


&&&&&

5.  2nd row Right (Hidden) - VIII of Cups:  Re-evaluation of our situation; walking away from what doesn't serve us anymore; choosing a different path 

6.  2nd row Middle (Advice) - IX of Cups:  Disillusionment; suicidal, misery; shattered dreams 

7.  2nd row Left (Outcome) - IV of Wands - A union of equal forces; intersection; healing

 
&&&&&

Message ~ "Humans are Free"

1.  The Shadow card gives the overall meaning of the reading and highlights the problems and concerns pointing to the reasons why we're experiencing what we're experiencing at the present time.  

It depicts a very wealthy individual who has everything they need with a healthy disregard for others and out of fear, greed or power issues, solely concerned with amassing as much as they can for themselves and basically, to hell with you. 

This card can also represent individuals, financial systems and governments.

2.  The Past represents a period of Innocence and trust which, I believe, is now a "thing of the past."  This would be laughable if only it weren't so painfully true.

3.  The Present shows we're not out of the woods, yet and to prepare for more sh*t heading our way.  The meaning of this card is an unexpected event(s); destruction; mayhem; chaos and massive change.

4.  The Destination Card is more optimistic as the King of Wands means "taking matters into our own hands"; finding the courage to deal with things; overcoming and, a "changing of the guard" maybe a collective attitude change or could also represent an individual.

5.  The Hidden Card is The VIII of Cups and another optimistic card showing we're walking away from things that don't serve us anymore; we've done a re-evaluation of where we are and where we want to go and choosing a different path.  One much more conducive to what "we want" not somebody else's.  

6.  The Advice Card IX of Cups has so many shadow meanings attached to it but only the ones concerning the reading are to be interpreted.  

It shows a well to do individual who is very disappointed, maybe due to shattered dreams, even suicidal as he is drinking an elixer of some sort possibly representing a drug overdose, the bloody meat represents his healthy disrespect for life and others (only his own) and the dimly lit moon in the background represents the false illusion he has been living under.    He has only been concerned with his own well being, having enough to eat and enough financial resources to live comfortably.  However, this is all shattering.    

He could be in the midst of a divorce, a grave health issue or a financial loss in which he could lose everything or maybe he is waking up from the illusion he's been under.  

This card advises us to take stock of where we are, right now.   Think on those things that are really important in our lives such as our health, our families, our communities and learning to show love, compassion and respect for one another and how easily all of this can be taken from us.    

These things are everlasting whereas material and temporary things such as how much money we have, how we look and dress, how many influential and well off friends we have and how big our house is, do not. 

7.  The Outcome Card is the IV of Wands another very optimistic card.  It means a union of equal forces (an intersection where everybody stops together, allowing the first car at the intersection to proceed  first and then the second car and so on and so on) direction and cooperation indicated by the four corners, stability and a firm foundation).  

Also, a well earned harvest of peace, prosperity and harmony.  

We're heading into a whole new way of living and understanding on this planet but not without having to endure more trials.  

I have no idea what these are going to be just an understanding as the cards have indicated, that they will manifest and we will, again, be forced to confront them.  

The numerical value of this reading is:  5 ~ instability; conflict; loss and change leading to a more harmonious outcome

This Week's Tarot Message for December 12, 2021

 

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck


Wands represent Fire (Passion and Creativity) 
Pentacles represent Earth (Money, Sowing and Reaping)  
Swords represent Air (Intellect)
Cups represent Water (Emotions and Relationships) 


Top (Shadow Card) - The II of Pentacles is all about finding and maintaining our balance

Left (Past) - The VII of Swords means unethical behavior; theft

Middle (Present) - XII The Hanged Man means liminal spaces; balance and achieving equilibrium (see The Shadow Card) 

Right (Destination) - The III of Wands is looking to the future and tells us to keep our eyes open to the changes and challenges lying ahead 

&&&&&

2nd row Right (Hidden) - The King of Wands means power and stability; a natural born leader with the ability to get the job done

2nd row Middle (Advice) - The Ace of Wands tells us we're in the beginning of a new cycle as the old one is passing away    

2nd row Left (Outcome) - IX The Hermit shows us we're on a path of self discovery leading to a heightened state of awareness

&&&&&

This Week's Tarot Message:  

"THE WHEEL KEEPS TURNING"

I believe this message to be a positive one for all of us who are confused about what we see happening today.  It seems like every day it's more bad news and more bad people coming to light who are only focused on harming others.  

*The Shadow Card wants us to gather our wits about us, slow down and find our center.  It is a card showing that we need to restore balance in our lives.

*The Past is defined as someone stealing something from you and they don't care if you get hurt.  They just don't want to get caught.    

It could be a business partner siphoning off money, a crooked politician amassing a fortune illegally, a cruel friend who comes across as your buddy but is anything but or someone who has betrayed your trust.    

*The Destination Card is IX The Hermit who is shining a light on the Truth.  In Greek philosophy it represents The Philosopher, Diogenes who was searching for an honest man.  I'm unsure whether or not he ever found one.

This card tells us that we are in the middle of (enlightenment note the lantern) or self discovery leading to a heightened state of awareness.    

&&&&&

*The Hidden Card shows a disciplined, powerful and confident individual eager and ready to receive the Wand of Truth.  There is the head of an owl on the scepter being handed to him.  

Owls represent Wisdom and Vigilance.  This individual is securely positioned and, at the annointed time, will make his appearance.  

Note the dark pillar in the background and I liken it to a "pillar of strength."  

The King of Wands also is looking at the Ace of Wands card showing his awareness of the new cycle manifesting (the wheel keeps turning) and that he's going to play a big role in it ~ The Chosen One  

*The Advice Card is The Ace of Wands (Aces represent new beginnings) ~ See The King of Wands.  

*The Outcome Card is IX The Hermit and is the torch bearer carrying the Light of Truth; investing his time in deep thought and contemplation leading to Wisdom (see the King of Wands)

&&&&&

The numerical value of this reading is 6:  Communication, problem solving, cooperation and balance

Weekly Tarot Message for December 5, 2021

 

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

Top Card is The Shadow Card:  XVI The TOWER

1st row Left to Right:
Past V of WANDS
Present IX of CUPS
Destination IV of Cups

2nd row Right to Left
Hidden XXI The WORLD
Advice VIII STRENGTH
Outcome X of CUPS

&&&&&

Message:    "We Have the Power" 

1.  The Shadow Card XVI The TOWER provides the overall feel of the reading.  It could be called a "Heads Up" Card because it reveals additional information as to what the reading is about and foresees things we cannot see or feel (see The Hidden Card).     

The XVI The TOWER means sudden (and could be "massive") change; upheaval; chaos, also Revelation and Awakening.  

It is telling us to plan for and expect more of the same as the present cycle is still ongoing  (with us) but is winding down.      

2.  The Past V of WANDS means a competitive situation and asks us to do our best (it doesn't give any more details as to what the "competitive" situation is but is left up to us to interpret/determine what this means to us, personally).

3.  The Present is The IX of CUPS:  This card can be interpreted as "Entitled."  Someone or possibly  more than one person (a group or social class) of individuals who have nothing to worry about as they have everything they need and don't give a sh*t about the people who don't.

4.  The Destination Card is the IV of CUPS:  This shows a young girl (but can be any age and gender and not just representing one person but many) who is withdrawing and re-evaluating her situation.  Quite possibly she's been thrust into something she can't handle, is fearful of, confused and needs time to figure things out.  


&&&&&  


5.  The Hidden Card is XXI The WORLD and actually defines the world we live in.  It also is a card of COMPLETION - the successful completion of one cycle and the beginning of another one   

6.  The Advice Card is VIII STRENGTH:  This tells us we have more Strength, Courage and Power than we realize.  It also stands for stability.  What does this mean?  It means start taking charge of your life in order to bring back some measure of stability.    

Remember, "WE have the Power".  

7.  The Outcome Card is The X of Cups:  This card stands for Family, Home, Community, Love and Trust.  All these things are (and have been under attack for years by very powerful people and organizations).    

This card shows we're heading in a positive direction and learning to stand up in order to take our lives back as we've had enough - "This is our world, our lives, our kids and our communities.  They're not for sale to the highest bidder anymore".

The numerical value of this reading is 10 (Completion or 1 meaning A New Beginning represented by the Ace.  Raw energy yet unformed - Potential.

~ May this Reading give you Hope and Courage as it Shines a Light on The New Path Being Created For Us ~

Weekly Tarot Message for November 21, 2021

 

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck 


Shadow Card (Top):  XVII The Star

1st row Left (The Past):  X Wheel of Fortune

1st row Middle (The Present):  XV The Devil

1st row Right (Destination):  XIII Death


2nd row Right (Hidden):  XII The Hanged Man

2nd row Middle (Advice):  I The Magician

2nd row Left (Outcome):  IV The Emperor


Reading:  "Go With the Flow"

The Shadow Card is the manifestation of the reading.  This card, XVII The Star, reminded me of the Star of Bethlehem and G-d's Promise to Mankind of Healing, Hope and Peace on Earth which I believe is happening right now.   

The Past is X The Wheel of Fortune and represents our unquenchable thirst for trying to figure things out; our future, who we should marry; is this job the right one?    The wheel of life is always turning, heralding in change.  Instead of stressing over what may or may not be, understand that change is always with us and is necessary for old, outworn and outdated cycles to end thus heralding in new ones.  

We all need to learn to "go with the flow" in handling things that don't go our way, challenges and obstacles.  However, this is much harder to accomplish than meets the eye and takes discipline and work.  

The Present Card is XV The Devil.  He is the agent of everything bad happening in the world.  The Conjurer of Evil as this is his role, this is what he does.  The more fear he generates, the more pain and suffering he creates, the more powerful he becomes as he gorges himself on our misery.    

The Destination Card (where we're all headed) is XIII The Death Card.  This card does not mean just physical death but also, "Endings."  In this particular case, the pain and misery we're all going through, e.g., what we've experiencing with the virus and the vaccine is actually an old cycle (one of manipulation, lies, money and power) "ending" in order for a new one to manifest which will benefit mankind not feed off of it.  

The Hidden Card XII The Hanged Man could be interpreted as "Our World Turned Upside Down" or our view of the world is changing as we're now able to see things from a different perspective.  It's like the blinders are coming off and we can see people, organizations, power and money that have had Mankind in their claws for thousands of years.

The Advice Card I The Magician reminds us that "we are the ones who control our destiny".  We have it within ourselves, the power to achieve anything we want.  I believe we're seeing The Magician working his magic all across the world today with people standing up for what's right and opposing what's wrong.   

The Outcome Card is IV The Emperor:  He is "The Man in Charge" a man whose time has come; a man whose word is law; restoration, stability, order and peace.  

The numerical value of this reading is:  9 - Things are coming together; fruition; bringing things to a conclusion (but we're not quite there, yet)

Weekly Tarot Message for November 14, 2021

 

The Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

Tarot cards are symbols of different phases in one's life.  The pictures on the cards depict the emotions that one goes through as one travels down his or her own designated life path both positive and negative.  

The cards can be interpreted in different ways depending on the question asked and the energy surrounding the reading at the time.    

The universe is in charge of how the cards are dealt and the answers provided at the time of the reading.      

&&&&&  

Shadow Card (Middle 2nd row):  Knight of Swords  

Past 2nd row Left - XVI The Tower

Present 1st row Left - XII The Hanging Man

Destination 1st row Middle - XIX The Sun

Hidden 1st row Right - Knight of Cups


Advice 2nd row Right - VIII Strength

Bottom Card Outcome - Ace of Cups

&&&&&

Question:  "Is G-d Sending a Saviour to Rescue Humanity?"

Reading:  The Cure is Love  

*The Shadow Card Knight of Swords came across as the Archangel Michael.  Resolute, dependable, G-d's right hand man and ready and waiting to do His bidding.  We cannot see what's happening behind the scenes but rest assured that much good is happening that we cannot see.    

*The Past Card XVI The Tower shows a tower being struck by lightning.  The tower represents things we believe in, people, political and religious organizations, corporations, governments.  Maybe the Virus is the lightning strike in which people all over the globe are beginning to mobilize together, resist  and question the many things they've been force fed for so long, the big one being a vaccine that is full of unquestionably dangerous chemicals and nano particles.      

The lightning strike could be construed as the end of the lies, a huge wake up call to humanity that things are changing for the better on planet earth.  Even though this is hard to comprehend because of all the evil we're seeing now, this is where we need to believe that something good is coming even though our eyes are unable (at this time) to see what it is.          

*The Present Card XII The Hanging Man shows someone suspended between Heaven and Earth.  He is suspended in a liminal space (a place where there is no beginning and no end - neither here nor there; a respite; a time out, a suspension in order for those things we cannot spiritually perceive are allowed to take place or be "put into place.).  ~ Patience.  

* The Destination Card XIX is The Sun.  A very positive card meaning an end to troubles; a new attitude, a new awakening in which we find ourselves in a place devoid of hardship, sorrow and pain.  It's like our days of trouble and turmoil are over and the sun's rays have found a way to shine down on us.  ~ Healing is underway.  

*The Hidden Card Knight of Cups came across as a biblical passage:  John 15:13:  "Greater Love Hath No Man Than This, That He Lay Down His Life for His Friends."  Again, a very positive message that G-d has things in control (even though it is hard if not impossible for us to believe this) but He asks us to believe as soon we will all be able to see with a new set of eyes.

*The Advice Card VIII Strength is a reference to Libra which means Divine Power and Balance (see The Justice Card).  

Again, a mention again of The Divine meaning there is more going on here than meets the eye.  Gather your strength and courage and have faith in what will be and have faith that all will be revealed at the appropriate time.  

*The Outcome Card Ace of Cups means this is what's coming:  

"Love Overflowing, (G-d's Love and Our Love For One Another), Forgiveness, Happiness, a New Way of Looking at the World  because we have been given a new set of eyes, Unity, Coming Together. ~ We Are All One.  


 






  






Tuesday, October 26, 2021

Weekly Tarot Message for October 24, 2021

 

The Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

Top - The Shadow Card:  IX of Swords 

1st row Past - Left Card:  IV of Swords

1st row Present - Middle Card:  XVI The Tower

1st row Destination - Right Card:  XV The Devil

&&&&&

2nd row Hidden - Right Card:  Knight of Wands

2nd row Advice - Middle Card:  V The Hierophant

2nd row Outcome - Left Card:  King of Pentacles

&&&&&

The Top Card is The Shadow Card and is the overall theme of the reading:  Anxiety, worry, confusion, nightmares, insomnia, fear

1st row Left to Right

The Past is The IV of Swords meaning in need of rest and recuperation, meditation, recharging your batteries and finding your center

The Present is The XVI The Tower meaning something unexpected will happen; an unexpected turn of events, upheaval, chaos, turmoil, life overturned

The Destination Card is  XV The Devil:  Troublemaker 


2nd row:  Right to Left 

The Hidden Card is The Knight of Wands and means wise planning is in order and to "think before you leap"  

The Advice Card is  V The Hierophant (government bodies, religious institutions) and means:  Do not just blindly accept and/or submit to all knowledge without first questioning what the consequences of your decisions will be  

The Outcome is The King of Pentacles.  This one I had a hard time with as it can be interpreted in so many different ways as an individual, a time in history, a health issue or a relationship.

Actually, as I was doing my research, it was slowly determined that all of the above are an integral part of the answer.  

On the Left is The X of Pentacles (Confirmation Card) and is a snapshot of where we're headed meaning:  Family, bonding,  unity, helping each other, working together, love and compassion


Subject:  Malefic (Malignant Influence) 

Whoever this individual represents and I believe it to be a male, his time is up.

This is The Pretender; a figure head, a puppet, a deceptive and false, ruthless, cruel and corrupt Emperor who thought he still had a job but may already be in the process of leaving or being made to leave  

The altar his head rests on represents a structure on which offerings are made to a deity - the Hebrew word for altar is mizbeah from a verbal root meaning "to slaughter."  The Greek word means:  A place of sacrifice.   

Old and feeble, his time is up and is near death or dead already (in mind, body and spirit).  

His sickly white and pasty veneer (skeleton face with linen mask) is an attempt to hide his spiritual health (but if you look closely you can see scars and/or mutilation marks) that he is endeavoring to cover up.

The two talismans hanging on either side of his face are protective gear, full of images supposedly imbued with supernatural qualities.

The diadem on his forehead is both black (used to convey authority) and white symbolizing the eternal struggle between day and night, good and evil, right and wrong.

The metal talons on his crown signify the powerful grip external forces have on him/over him.

The lion on the talisman in heraldry means holding the position of "rampant" - violent in action or spirit, raging and furious 

The red icon in the center of the crown could be a Harpy.  In Greek it means "spirit of the wind" particularly a hurricane and symbolizes ferocity under provocation

The two vultures in the background one on the left and one on the right mean that scavenger birds do not kill their prey but only collect what is already dead.  

The two white roses in the background, one on the left and one on the right I felt were not that important to the interpretation of the reading to note.  

Interesting side note:  

The romans and Greeks had respect for vultures.

Saturn, the G-d of Justice rode a vulture.  

The Quran mentions a pre-Islamic G-d by the name of Nasr which means "Vulture" that was worshipped during the Time of Noah.  

The numerical value of this reading is a 4:  A break or rest period.  In order to move forward you need to contemplate where you've been and where you're going.  








Tuesday, October 19, 2021

Weekly Tarot Message for October 17, 2021

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck 

Top - Shadow Card:   XX Judgement

1st row - Left Past:  III of Wands 

1st row - Middle Present:  Ace of Wands

1st row - Right Destination:  XVI The Tower


2nd row Right Hidden:  IV of Cups

2nd row Middle Advice:  III of Pentacles

2nd row Left:  Outcome:  VII of Swords


Confirmation Card:  The V of Pentacles:  Financial Loss, Destitution, Health Issues

&&&&&

Subject:  Accountability 

The Shadow Card XX Judgment gives the overall meaning of this spread.  It stands for atonement, a spiritual awakening regarding a decision made and the outcome.      

The Past Card is the III of Wands:  You've done all you can in order to land a new job, marry the right person, start a family or a business.  Now you must wait for the results.    

The Present Card Ace of Wands means you've succeeded and a new beginning is waiting for you - your due diligence has paid off and you're being rewarded with a raise in pay, getting that job you wanted, or a new relationship.  

The Destination Card is The XX Tower which means something unexpected is coming that will knock you off the path you're on, difficulties, endings, remorse and regret.     

&&&&&

2nd row Right is The Hidden Card IV of Cups and means you're not happy with where you are now.  Because of what happened you are now beset by a number of problems.  You're angry, you're mad.  You had everything going for you and then something interfered with your plans.  See XX The Tower Card.  However, instead of being despondent and depressed this card means there is something positive in the situation you now face and to look for it.            

2nd row Middle Card is The Advice Card III of Pentacles and means it took teamwork to get to where you are now.   You've always been recognized for getting the job done.  It reminds you that you create your own reality by the decisions you make.  You can either create a monster or a masterpiece  It's entirely up to you.      

2nd row Left is The Outcome Card VII of Swords and means you are thinking about or are planning on doing something unethical.  This isn't you, at all?  Is it because you're unhappy and can't get over after all your hard work you didn't get what you wanted?  This card warns against doing something you are going to regret.  Remember, your decisions can create a masterpiece or a monster.  Choose wisely.     

The bottom Card is The Confirmation Card:  The V of Pentacles:  It's time to do an assessment and figure out where you want to be down the road.  You need to ponder how your decision will affect not only you but others:  Your loved ones, relatives and friends.  Will it affect your ability to make money?  Will it affect your health and/or cause psychological damage?  Then ask yourself, do you really want to do this?  Understand that you will be held accountable for the end result no matter what it is.  

The numerical value of this reading is an 8:  Rebirth, re-evaluation, spiritual fortitude, recognition 


   


Tuesday, October 12, 2021

Weekly Tarot Reading for October 10, 2021

 

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

Cups define emotions and relationships

Wands define spontaneity, passion, creativity

Pentacles define investments, business and finances

Swords define the intellect and communication (thinking, strategizing, arguing) conflict

 

Top Card (The Shadow Card):  VI of Wands

1st row Left The Past:  IX of Pentacles

1st row Middle The Present:  Page of Wands

1st row Right  The Destination Card:  King of Wands


2nd row Right The Hidden Card:  IV The Emperor

2nd row Middle The Advice Card:  VI The Lovers

2nd row Left is The Outcome Card:  VI of Swords

 

The bottom card is the Confirmation Card (that sums up the reading and adds validity to it).  I didn't include it with this reading but you can see the definition below. 

&&&&&

"Coming Full Circle"

1.  The Shadow Card VI of Wands shows a Warrior Knight on his horse named Endurance with an ugly witch hovering over his head, wielding a broom.

Victory will come but at a high price.  Our ability to endure will be of immense importance as we will not win unless we all are committed to doing so.     

The witch represents The Dark Side of our Psyches (Our Shadow Side) and came across as "Fury" along with "All Hell's About to Break Loose".

Normally a witch is pictured riding a broom using it as transportation but, not here.    This time she is raging and using the full force of her broom as a club, (clubs are the equivalent of the Tarot suit of Wands) as a weapon (payback? revenge? blackmail? a trap?) or planning a surprise attack (as she is above the Knight and he is unable to see her).                   

Make note of this.  This is not vague symbolism but a strong message indicating that she (whoever "she" represents) is willing to do anything, use any means and resources necessary in order to defeat the opposition.            

1st row Left Past:  The IX of Pentacles shows a woman oblivious to the world (secure in her own little comfort zone, ignoring the plight of others), with no worries at all as she has everything she wants:  money, food, luxury items, security shelter and protection.  

But note the spider pin in her hair.  The spider symbolizes awareness but, for some reason, she is oblivious and unaware as she is unable or unwilling to see the storm churning in the sky behind her.

A trained falcon  is also perched on her hand.  Falconry is the hunting of wild animals by means of a trained bird of prey.  I thought this interesting because a falcon can attack with no warning at all (it just comes out of the blue) and up to speeds of 200 mph as it hones in and dive bombs its prey.  This meaning came through as drones, missiles, directed energy and sudden death. 

1st row Middle Present:  The Page of Wands is sending a message.  It is asking us to become aware and prepare.  It also represents Precognition as The Page can see what's coming, we can't.  The minute I turned this card over the message immediately came through, "Buckle Up Cupcake."

1st row Right Destination (Where We're Headed):  The King of Wands stands for taking matters into your own hands, focus, determination, bravery, valor and getting the job done.  This card is telling us in order to succeed and overcome we  need to prepare and do whatever is necessary.   

2nd row Right Hidden is IV The Emperor:   The Emperor stands for authority and power.  He will, like the King of Wands, get the job done and is unafraid of anything that gets in his way as his motto is, "Failure Is Not an Option."  He could also be defined as The Punisher.   

Note the chandelier hanging behind him as it represents status, glamour, class and wealth.  Also note the skulls lying at his feet.  Skulls symbolize death and danger, something he is prepared for.   

2nd row Middle Advice:  VI The Lovers Card depicts two people one of which definitely has  misgivings about the other.  Note the moon in the background which looks like an all seeing eye in the act of studying them and conducting a deep and penetrating examination of their psyches.  Maybe she caught onto this message and has decided she's not going to be railroaded into doing something she isn't 100% sure of as all is not what it seems.  

Note:  I'm really unsure as to how this card plays out with respect to all the others but know there's a meaning hidden in here and it will come to the surface at the appropriate time.

2nd row Left Outcome:   VI of Swords means after a difficult journey, a smooth passage awaits us as we are able to move on and away from our difficulties.

This is a very positive card.  

&&&&&

The bottom card is X of Pentacles (The Confirmation Card) and sums up the reading.  It shows a  young couple who obviously enjoy each others company.  It looks like they have been on the road for some time (as he is wearing a backpack) and have finally completed their journey, doing what they wanted and seeing all that was to be seen and are ready to come home.  We see a rather interesting old man, completely harmless, opening the door to let them in.  We see the warmth emanating out of the doorway as they wait to enter.  A dog (loyalty) walks out to greet them.    

They have come full circle and are now ready to finally come home.  

Maybe this is the VI The Lovers Card where the man and woman out their differences, came together and formed a relationship.     

Message:  We will come full circle as we forge through what lies ahead of us, learning to cope and endure and growing as we grapple with all the things being thrown our way.  And, We will prevail. 

During this difficult period we will learn the important things in life as we grow closer together and  come together, embracing each other without looking at what color we are or where we came from.

We will learn the true meaning of Life on this planet and it is all about Love.

The numerical value of this reading is 4:  Something that lasts:  Structure and Foundation the result of desire, imagination and work.

7.  2nd row left - Outcome - Queen of Wands - Taking charge of things; organizing your life; helping others 

 

&&&&&

 

Message:  "Baby Steps" 

1.  The Shadow Card Ace of Cups represents hope, new beginnings, hearts opening and brighter days ahead.   

2.  The Past is the VIII of Cups and means we've moved on, let go continue to move forward having done  an in depth analysis of self in order to find the truth 

3.  Yet, The Present Card (X of Wands) shows we're in an uphill battle, feeling burned out, bummed out and overloaded yet there is a ray of hope as we're just now beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  This card tells us we're not quite there yet but we will win we just need to persevere

4.  The Destination Card II of Swords shows that many of us have reached a stalemate in our lives (we can't make up our minds one way or the other).  We're backing off not wanting to discuss or think about things that are happening (leave me alone) and have initiated some kind of mental truce in order to protect ourselves.  Yet up ahead is a crossroads which lies in our path resulting in a decision to be made 

5.  The Hidden Card ( IV of Swords) tells us we're in denial and are unable to see the truth; we're sitting on the fence (see the II of Swords) avoiding painful choices and desperately in need of a "time out" in order to heal, recharge and recuperate

6.  The Advice Card (VII of Cups) warns us not to become fearful or anxious and to guard against folly, madness and mania thus becoming paranoid resulting in psychosis (we can already see this happening to others who have blindly accepted whatever they were told to do without questioning along with government officials who have bastardized the truth and discarded our "state of being" in favor of deception and mayhem)   

7.  The Outcome Card (Queen of Wands) tells us to stop looking at the past but to confront the present; stop masquerading around as a puppet on a string and take charge of things.  Start organizing your life and start helping others 

The Confirmation Card (the last card at the bottom of the spread) is the X of Pentacles and indicates we're on a path to domestic harmony; stability, solid relationships and values (like family, responsibility, compassion and caring for one another) (see the Shadow Card Ace of Cups)

The numerical value of this reading is 4:  Structure, foundation, stability, proper application resulting in manifestation (see The Shadow Card Ace of Cups)

The confirmation card is a 10:  Completion; end of a cycle and renewal (tens represent 10 = 1+0 = 1 (representing the same thing as Aces) see Ace of Cups definition above

Weekly Tarot Message for September 26, 2021

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

 Message:  Our Future is Our Own Making 

Tarot doesn't predict the future, it guides us to it.  It is the decisions we make which determine our fate to be positive or negative. 

When the cards are overturned, they show a route that will ensure a modicum amount of success depending on the question asked.  If we choose to ignore the guidance given and decide to proceed on our own, basically there is no certainty as to what the future holds for us.             

&&&&&

Top Shadow Card - VII of Swords:  Treachery (betrayal of trust) 

1st row Left (Past) - III of Swords:  - Pain; remorse; loss

1st row Middle (Present) - Page of Pentacles - Attitude:  Believe in yourself; trust and maintain a positive outlook

1st row Right (Destination) - V of Swords - A victory that comes at a great cost; a tough battle that must be faced

&&&&&

2nd row Right (Hidden) - IX  of Wands - Perseverance; Endurance

2nd row Middle (Advice)  - XIII Death - The old way of doing business is passing away; rebirth 

2nd row Left (Outcome) - Judgement - Resurrection (see XIII the Death Card)

&&&&&

Bottom (Confirmation) - Ace of Swords - A triumphant conquest


&&&&&

Message:  

The Shadow Card VII of Swords shows treachery at work. What we are seeing now with all the information coming out regarding the Chinese Virus shot.  We are now finding that it was designed to kill us not protect us.  

This card is followed by the Past - III of Swords showing the pain we've been subjected to leading us to the Present that is the Page of Pentacles and it's all about attitude - the message is:  "in view of all we're  seeing and experiencing, know that renewal is underway in which the process of living is transforming to a more beneficial and harmonious order.  Even though it is difficult to do so, because we are unable to see, trust and know that things are unfolding all in accordance with a divine plan.

The Destination Card V of Swords warns that victory will come but at a great cost.    This means we are all going to be facing an ordeal that will test us to our limitations.  We must remain vigilant, strong and persevere in order to make it through.   

The Hidden Card IX of Wands tells us that in order to succeed, we need to continue to resist the tyranny (treachery) and that there are those around us who are here, for just this purpose and will be assisting us in this endeavour. 

The Advice Card XIII Death Card can mean physical death but also a renewal of some sort, a new way of living, a rebirth, a transformation (the old giving way to the new).    The old way is passing away, you can't stop it - let it go. 

The Outcome Card is XX Judgement - A Purge; absolution; rebirth; transformation; getting in touch with your Higher Self.  (see XIII Death Card)

If ever there was a more profound ending to a reading this is it.  We are on the cusp of major changes taking place not only in our world as we know it but including the natural and spiritual world as well.

We are coming face to face with ourselves. 

It is time to assess how you react to crisis.  Do you panic or do you assess the situation and devise a plan in order to cope with it?  

This is also time to stand up as an example of courage to others who may be flailing around in their own cesspool of anxiety.   

The numerical value of this reading is 3:  The number 3 is the combination of 1 and 2 bringing about that which is desired or envisioned:  Have Faith

Weekly Tarot Message for September 19, 2021

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck


Question for this reading was:  "After all we've been through, how do we prepare for what''s coming next?" 

Ii think many of us are wondering about this and don't have a clue. 

&&&&& 

Top (Shadow Card) - VIII - Strength

1st row Left (Past) -  XVII The Star -  Illumination; Hope 

1st row Middle (Present) - I The Magician - Working wonders; a miracle

1st row Right (Destination) - X The Wheel of Fortune

&&&&&

2nd row Right (Hidden) - Ace of Wands - The inauguration of a new endeavour; courage; boldness

2nd row Middle (Advice) - Queen of Swords - Stand your grand; determination; don't back down

2nd row Left (Outcome) - XII The Hanged Man - Truce; inaction; a waiting period

&&&&&

The card on the right is the confirmation card (it just sums up the reading):

Ace of Swords:   A triumphant conquest of great power or force

&&&&&

Message:  

*The Shadow Card revealed that the first thing we need to do, in order to surmount our unfolding situation, is VIII Strength.  What is meant by strength?   It's faith in the midst of uncertainty, learning to keep calm in a crisis; providing the necessary resources and emotional support when and where needed.     

*The Past shows we had hope for the future.  We had our ups and downs but, generally, I think that most of us thought that our lives would get better, not worse.  We hoped we'd get that job we wanted,  marry the right person, have a family, finally get an acceptance letter from a favorite college or university and  be able to enjoy that vacation we had saved and planned for.   

Then came COVID. 

*The Present is I The Magician and tells us we all are hoping for an end to the misery and chaos we now find ourselves in.  Maybe, if we look into a crystal ball, we'll find  the answer to our problems.  problem(s).   Maybe, just maybe, we need to take it one step further and realize that Faith (and not a crystal ball) is one of those things that will get us through whatever we'll be facing.       

*The Destination Card is X The Wheel of Fortune.  This card relates to I The Magician Card.  We're still looking into that crystal ball, trying to figure things out and hoping for a solution.  The Wheel of Life is ever turning, we never know where it's going to land, it could be right side up (good) or just the opposite (not so good).  It's like the "luck of the draw" and Karma.  So, basically, our Destination is still up in the air.  But this card reinforces the meaning behind the Strength Card in that we need to have faith that we will get through this for without Faith nothing is possible. 

*The Hidden Card (Ace of Wands) shows what's around us, the energy we cannot see.  This card signifies that something is coming that is full of energy, courageous and bold.  It could symbolize a person or an event.  But the feeling is that it will be good (and sorely needed, I might add).  Maybe, even, "just in time."  

*The Advice Card (Queen of Swords) says this:  "Believe in yourself; when push comes to shove - stand your ground; this is not the time to back down; stay strong".  There is Strength (see the Shadow Card) in numbers.

*The Outcome Card is XII The Hanged Man.  This card shows a truce of some kind; negotiations; inaction and a time of waiting (hibernation) or contemplating something.  A lull in the war; regroup; a Time Out.  This is a good thing but we'll have to wait and see how where and when it manifests.    And I do believe that when "it" happens, we'll all recognize it for the good it is.  

&&&

*The Confirmation Card (that adds extra meaning to the reading) is The Ace of Swords (see the card on the far right):   This card symbolizes a triumphant conquest, great power or force. 

Keep the Faith, Folks, Now More Than Ever We All Need to Know that G-d is in the midst of the whirlwind, in the deepest depths of the ocean and in the Dark where we can't see (but He can).

Galatians 5:22:  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 

The numerical value of this reading is 3:  The number 3 is the cementing of 1 and 2 and goes through to 4 bringing about that which is desired and envisioned.

Weekly Tarot Message for September 12, 2021

 

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

Top:  Shadow Card The Queen of Pentacles

1st row Left Past XVI The Tower

1st row Middle Present King of Wands

1st row Right Destination X of Swords


2nd row Right Hidden VIII of Cups

2nd row Middle Advice Page of Wands

2nd row Left Outcome VIII of Pentacles

 

Note:  I am sorry for the delay as this reading took some time to interpret. 

&&&&&

Message: 

The Queen of Pentacles symbolizes Home, Hearth and Motherhood.  However the shadow side of the Queen represents just the opposite.   This Queen seems startled while looking at the picture hanging on the wall.  Clearly she's walked by it many times so why now?  Could it be that she is finally connecting with those she rules over?  The young girl in the picture is baring one breast (showing "availability" possibly as a prostitute in order to put food on the table) and pulling a piece of cloth over her.  It looks like a funerary shroud which was used to cover a corpse before burial.   Maybe she knows that she can't handle much more abuse and hardship and is making preparations.  Note the whip (used for flagellation) on the table to her left and the skull.  

The shroud symbolizes she is already dead not only in her body but in her heart and mind.  The whip has a long history of being used for punishment and abuse.  The skull is a symbol that all things change and transition.  

Maybe this powerful Queen who is addicted to power and the finer things in life is finally getting the message - to be more supportive, more compassionate and more in tune with the needs of those who come to her for advice, comfort and aid.

This card can also, collectively, symbolize an elite and very powerful cabal that rules over Mankind  today, who use every opportunity to abuse and punish those who won't comply with their malefic agenda.  

The Past is XVI The Tower.  This time the tower came through as the word, "collapse."  What are we witnessing today?  Everything we've come to rely on, people, car dealerships, availability of food, even our own healthcare system, is collapsing.  But, remember the skull that symbolizes transition meaning "changing from one position to another".   Keep in mind that all we're seeing, living through right now  is paving the way toward a more beneficial way of living for all people on this planet.

The Present is The King of Wands.  This card represents STABILITY.  Stability in the midst of chaos.  Now it could represent a person, a leader, or it could represent you, asking that you find that place inside you where you feel safe in order to ride out the storm.

The Destination Card is the X of Swords.  Tens in Tarot represent completion; a new cycle is beginning but  the pain, the loss and the sorrow is not over.  We all will be experiencing this card in one way or another as many already have in the days to come.  

&&&&&

2nd row Right Hidden is the VIII of Cups.  This card is telling all of us it is time to move on.  Start by understanding that the old is passing away (remember the X of Swords - Tens in Tarot represent completion and a new cycle beginning) as the old cycle is dying, no longer working or needed.  A new way of living is being prepared for us so start looking ahead and not back.  

2nd row Middle Advice is the Page of Wands.  This time the young page came across as, "If I can do it, you can too."  She is advising us to "Be steadfast and Unafraid" for "The L-rd Thy G-d is With Thee".   

2nd row Left Outcome is the VIII of Pentacles.  This card shows a young girl lovingly carrying a doll away.  Note in the background the aura of death and depression permeating this card as we see an old man glaring after her because he failed in his attempts to make money and get her hooked by one of the more sinister creatures hanging in his shop.  He obviously doesn't care about her feelings but only in the money he could make, the drugs he could sell or the malevolent Puppet Master he could hook her up with.    

Even though she's just a young girl, she instinctively knew what she wanted.  She chose Life and Happiness, over Death as a Puppet being jerked around on a string.  But this didn't come easily as she had to plan, persevere and work hard by sacrificing and saving up enough money.  

Remember, hard work, planning and preparation are crucial to success - Believe in Yourself. 

*The numerical value of this reading is a 6: The ability to transcend difficulties

Weekly Tarot Message for September 5, 2021

The Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

This deck is based on the RWS accepted Tarot card interpretations.  However, the symbology of these Gothic images allows one the freedom to arrive at different interpretations when it comes to weaving a story together.  

There is no need to use inverted cards as each card can be interpreted as either positive or negative depending on the intuition accessed by the Reader.   

In this reading I am using 8 cards with the Shadow Card in the middle of the first row and an 8th card (bottom) as clarification or affirmation to the reading.

 

1.  Shadow Card - 1st row middle - VII The Chariot -Taking charge of your life

2.  Past - 1st row Left - XVII The Star - Promise, Hope and Faith

3.  Present Top Card - The Ace of Cups - Overflowing with Love and Compassion

4.  Destination 2nd row Right - X of Swords -  A period of Darkness (before the Light)  

 

5.  Hidden - 2nd row Right - Page of Cups - Face Your Fears

6.  Advice - 2nd row Middle - King of Pentacles - Corruption and Decay 

7.  Outcome - 2nd row Left - XV The Devil -  Trickery; bondage, illusion  

 

8.  Affirmation/Confirmation - Bottom Card - VII of Pentacles - Assessment

 

Message:  "It Is Up to Us"

 

1.  Shadow Card VII The Chariot - "Mind Over Matter."   It takes courage and direction to achieve your goals in life.  Now is the time to take the reins instead of letting others direct your path.    

2.  Past, XVII The Star, shows a woman who has been victimized/traumatized (possibly representing many more people) and still dealing with the aftermath.  She feels naked and vulnerable from the experience but knows that her faith is being tested after a challenging situation.  But she knows that in order to overcome her situation certain sacrifices must be made.  She also knows that she alone controls her own future and with renewed faith will be able to bring forth positive results.   (See the Chariot card above)

Present The Ace of Cups shows a Divine connection with what is occurring on earth right now.  A truth that something higher than us is watching events unfolding letting us know that we are not alone in our tribulation.  ~ Take Heart.  

4.  Destination X of Swords shows there will be a period of Darkness before we all are able to access the Light.  

 

5.  Hidden Page of Cups is encouraging us not to be afraid but to stand up in order to move forward by  confronting our fears.

6.  Advice The King of Pentacles shows corruption and decay.  Even after we've achieved everything we want in life it is only a temporary existence but the soul is eternal.

7.  In The Outcome Position, XV The Devil Card was interesting and I had to do some further research on the many possible meanings that could be attributed to this card in a Future or Outcome Position.   

This card is telling us we have a choice - we can either continue to submit to his enslavement over us or choose freedom.  "It is up to us".

8.  The Affirmation Card is the VII of Pentacles.  It's meaning is taking the time necessary to do a personal assessment of who you are, where you are and where you want to be and then take action to get there.  

This card also confirms VII Chariot (Shadow Card) in that it is us who control our own fate(s).  Our destiny is in our own two hands so take the reins and start steering in the direction you want to go.  Do you really want to continue to be enslaved or be free?

The numerical value of this reading is a 4:  Manifestation; organization and planning

Weekly Tarot Message for August 29, 2021

The Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck
 

1.  Top:  Shadow Card - Knight of Pentacles

2.  1st row left:  Past - Page of Wands

3.  1st row middle:  Present - XV The Devil

4.  1st row right:  Destination - VIII of Swords


5.  2nd row right:  Hidden - IX The Hermit

6.  2nd row middle:  Advice - VIII Strength

7.  2nd row left:  Outcome - X The Wheel of Fortune

 

Message

Faith is Firm Footing Allowing Us to See in the Dark  

1.  The Knight of Pentacles stands for working tirelessly toward a goal.  It also means Duty, Honor and Sacrifice.  Think of what just happened in Afghanistan and American Troops tirelessly doing their job evacuating Americans and Afghans from Kabul.  Then the unthinkable happened: 

Not only were Americans purposely left behind by the current administration but Afghan citizens as well.  This decision resulted in injury and loss of life for many as a result.  

2.  The Past is The Page of Wands representing "Confirmation".  The young girl is wearing a confirmation dress and a chapel veil.  Confirmation is the process of the last initiation into the body of Christ.  The chapel veil is a symbol of reverence and piety (respect) for while in the presence of G-d.  

She is holding a red book denoting deep emotions - passion, blood "seeing red" or "you make my blood boil" and spirituality while a white candle (purity and also means the Holy Spirit) is wrapped with a blue wreath denoting spirit, devotion and religious study. 

Note the old oak tree directly behind her.

Below and to the right is a young boy playing what appears to be a fiddle but could also be a violin.  

If it is a violin it represents sadness.  In addition, a violin is made from a dead tree (thus the image of the large oak behind the young girl) as it is instrumental in the making of a beautiful resurrection song instrument.

Christ:  "I reform (resurrect) dead things and breathe new life into them so they can be my instruments in the world."

If it is a fiddle it represents The Devil and the human body and the action of sexual stimulation in order to provoke a spiritual experience.  The Church forbade ordinary Christians to engage in this practice but allowed the religious hierarchy to do so.   

The smoke or haze you see emanating around the young girl symbolizes fog or "mystery."

3.  The Present is XV The Devil meaning Lies, Seduction, Enslavement, destroying the body and poisoning the soul.  Note the syringe the Devil holds in his hand as he is in the act of inserting it into the young woman (victim).  Does this not remind you of COVID and what we are seeing now with an experimental drug created to kill people not save them?   

4.  The Destination Card is the VIII of Swords and means Separation, Loss and Death.  The young woman's expression and her reaching up and behind her head is like a gesture of futility, being unable to cope with what is going on.  It could also mean an act of Suicide in which she is in the act of taking her own life due to all that is going on. 

5.   The Hidden Card IX The Hermit  means "Light Worker."  Someone who is here to penetrate the darkness and expose the light for all of us to see.  Thus the Apocalypse or Reveal (Revelation) we're experiencing now.  There are hundreds of thousands of Light Workers on the planet right now, aiding and assisting humans and all working toward one thing - ending Humanity's enslavement in order to bring in a New World Order, one that will benefit All Mankind.

6.  The Advice Card VIII Strength is telling us, encouraging us to employ every means necessary in order to get through what is coming.  The Lion is Leo in Astrology and means Bravery and Courage.  You notice the demon clinging to the lion's back as she looks directly at us.  She represents "doubt" that you and I will not be able to do what the lion represents which is stepping up and boldly meeting what lies ahead.  She's wrong as I believe we will not only measure up to the challenge but surpass it.

7.  The Outcome Card is X The Wheel of Fortune.  The Diviner is pointing to a card and explaining to the Querent what the meaning is.   It is this:  Your (or Our) Future is Unclear at This Time.

Summation:  This reading is all about Confirmation meaning Transformation of the Spirit.  Also known as the Soldiers of Christ with a spiritual duty to fight the war between good and evil, light and darkness.  

A war between the Human Race and all the Powers of Hell.

Be Brave, Be Bold, Have Faith and Believe in G-d as He is in this battle fighting right alongside us.  

The numerical value of this reading is a 5:  Instability, conflict, loss, opportunity for change, a new cycle
