6 of Wands
Sixes are cards of exuberance and sharing, of advancement, harmony, and leadership. Crowley thought of them as the elements at the practical best. Frequently, the Six of Wands indicates making or attaining a major advancement toward your goal. The RWS 6 0f Wands shows a youth on horseback carrying a staff hung with [...]

The Empress’ Golden Dawn name: Daughter of the Mighty Ones
Daughter of the Mighty Ones
That the Empress is a daughter doesn’t take a great stretch of imagination — she is a woman, therefore she must be someone’s daughter. But who are the “Mighty Ones?” Israel Regardie’s book The Golden Dawnf, says “…and the name of the [...]

I’ve noticed many searchs for information on how to read Psycards. Since I frequently read with them, often in the same reading with traditional tarot decks, I thought I’d write a post on the basics of using this beautiful deck.
I love Psycards. They’re often much more direct than the tarot when it comes to answering [...]

Nine of Cups
Traditionally, the 9 of Cups signifies satisfaction and wishes that have been fulfilled. However, it can also mean visualizing what you want and taking joy in the sensual pleasures. This isn’t a card that comes up much for me, as I have a tendancy to cut myself off from my senses and to [...]

Strength
Yesterday I drew the Strength card again. I’m not surprised that it keeps coming up, since it’s both my soul and personality card (for more information on soul and personality cards, read Mary Greer’s Tarot for Yourself). I’m also amazed at the variety of ways it appears in my life. Yesterday, there were no panic [...]

The Empress’ number: 3
- Like the Empress herself, the number 3 is ruled by Venus. Threes represent intution, beauty, emotions. They are the manifestation of the union that happens at 2. They symbolize harmony, combination, fertility, multiplication and cooperation as well as understanding nd growth. Threes speak of the ideal over the mundane.
Negatively: cruelty, self-indulgence, [...]

Ace of Wands
Friday’s card was the Ace of Wands. An auspicious beginning for a new creative venture. For about just shy of 30 years, I’ve been particpating in the form of interactive storytelling called roleplaying games (RPGs). Friday I began a new story and our first session did, indeed go well, with much creativity and [...]

The Empress is the card of feminine energy. She is the archetypal mother — whether giving birth to an actual child or to an idea, she represents that inside of us which seeks to create. The Empress also reminds us to pay attention to our bodies and the physical world around us. She asks us [...]

Strength
Yesterday I drew Strength for my daily card. Strength is a card about overcoming our “animal instincts” or, as some put it, our ‘baser natures’. I view it more as overcoming old survivial patterns that are no longer useful, because our “animal instincts” and “baser natures” are tools that help keep us alive in crisis [...]
