Life is wonderful!

Yesterday's card and today's cards:

March 30th - 7 of Wands - Valour - courage, daring; impact; taking risks; no compromises

March 31st - 2 of Cups - Love - receptive love; happy relationships; emotional exchange.  I surrender to life!

When I reflect on these cards I cherish what they mean to me and how reading and thinking about the meanings of these cards affects my life and the influences they have as I move forward.

I find myself on a new and uncharted path and so far I am enjoying the journey.  Yesterday or the day before I read a news release about a singer and in this article they reference a statement he made on twitter and what caught my attention was a quote he values from Martin Luther King Jr.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. M.L.K.Jr.”

I also value you this quote and maybe reading this quote is what made the 7 of Wands card appear to me yesterday.  The card is about standing my ground and remaining true to my energies and MLK's statement reflects my beliefs and values in life.

May we all make a stand and let our voices be heard when things are important to us and threatened.

The cards  and book I most refer to are for the Crowley Tarot - Thoth and if you would like to learn more about this book and deck of cards please check out the links below:

Thoth Tarot Deck: Ordo Templi Orientis

Today's Card is the Ten of Cups - Satiety

This is another beautiful card from Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot deck.

The ten cups are arranged to resemble the form of the Tree of Life.  Everything is in its right place and in harmonious order.  A wealth of love is received and overflows and a fulfilled person need do nothing but let the love radiate out.  Everything comes to me at the right moment.  Life gives me all I need to be happy.

(Tarot Mirror of the Soul, Gerd Ziegler, Weiser Books, 1990)

At this point in time I am still learning and reading and taking things from the many books I have regarding the Thoth Tarot Deck by Aleister Crowley.

The images of the cards come to me in my dreams at night or thoughts during the day.  As I become more confident with my relationship with Tarot I will formulate my own thoughts and opinions of the cards and share them with you as much as I can.

What a wonderful card for another wonderful day.

It is great to be living in the here and now.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 - Ace of Swords

Creative energy brought into being through intellectual clarity.  The unconscious (Moon) comes into the light (Sun).  Unconscious energies become accessible to the conscious.  Energies released in this process are available to be used.  But care must be taken to to be fully in contact with "Love" and doing things with the heart of others in mind.

Monday, February 1, 2010 - Four of Disks - Power

On Monday not sure of the time but the image of the Four of Disks came to my mind as the card of the day for me.  This is of course, the Four of Disks as envisioned by Aleister Crowley as the card exists in the Thoth Tarot Deck.

I was feeling kind of melancholy on Monday and had a general malaise about me that I could not explain and when I read more about this card I more readily understood my malaise.

This card has a dual meaning and both possibilities that this card represents existed for me on Monday.

The symbol on the card is a square fortress that is all about security and strength.  This can be expressed in a person who has character and is someone you can depend on.  They are true to their personal principles and conducts all dealings with integrity and they live out their ideals.

Another possibility though is a certain rigidness and coldness upholding standards and lacking a certain humanity.  Cold and stiff rather than warmth and friendship.
