ALL TAROT SPECIAL
HI. This is issue #2 of 33:33. May the Light be with you always.
We are coordinating with the universe here, keeping our eyes and minds peeled to the heart of the signs. The communication is ongoing though our engagement in the discussion may take breaks, sometimes abandoned altogether. Life is in constant interaction, no matter how still we can be. Not that stillness is not a virtue, it is. What this ‘dance with the cosmos’ means is that we’re not dead, though some of us can be ‘not so alive.’
The cards are static, its images are still though it’s spirit, like our imagination is in constant flux, ebb and pull and push and explosive. The cards come alive in our minds, moving according to its intended meaning, symbolism, weighted, advanced and enhanced by our experience and perceptions.
We pool our scenarios, challenges, uncertainties, affirmations, and so forth around the selected image. Then we give it intention, a notion, an idea, an onslaught of depth worship and understanding so that we can see as well as believe.
The higher mind is geared up and seeks to penetrate the mystery, to find answers, to reveal like a sleight of hand, the hidden gem, the shadowy cause, the elected truth that can sail us on our way out of troubled waters.
The Keys of the Tarot may crudely but surely imply an opening of the locks, the outpouring of information through the door of consciousness. It’s energy surges forth. We identify, react and engage. We KNOW these images. They’re collective, inherited, a formula encrypted in our DNA. The cards are consciousness, cosmic and unending, talking to our consciousness, speaking for itself, to itself. They are there in our lives just as we are in theirs. There’s a kind of unity here that may smack of oneness. Something inseparable and whole though appearing random and fragmented. Isn’t like that in general? This accused ‘illusion of separation’?
It’s all one picture it seems, no matter how many pictures there are.
We are all always learning to use our minds. It can harm, it can sever what does not belong, it can be a righteous tool or a damning one. It can create safety or instill fear. However we wish to use it, it is our choice.
The maiden is a student, not yet a mother ready with shaping another child, not yet a wizened old woman, potent and experienced, discerning and frightening all at once. Ready to strike a deathblow to that which is irrelevant. Brutal and destructive, in creative, tough love ways. The maiden is still young, as some of us are, in our hearts and minds. We may still miss the sword for the scabbard, caught up in the pretty things.
But we will get there. Some of us are already there, but everyone is still striving forth, sharpening our minds, using it for what its worth. It is ours to wield, this sword of ours, this strength, this power called consciousness. We are responsible for it’s use.
To knight a man or behead him. That too is our choice.
These also, are gifts of the Shaman. Not everyone gets all gifts. They receive according to their own needs and missions. The robot here is the light-worker, the magician, the healer. Governed by the WILL, transmitting energy fluidly and effectively via Mercury.
Learning is its foundation, as seen by the manuscripts before the figure. There should be a need for understanding the background, to be theoretically armed and executed through practical applications, of anything one chooses to do as a profession, a calling, a job. To know it, intimately, then to add to it, to evolve.
That is the nature of the butterfly and flower symbols. Of evolution (from the caterpillar through the cocoon to the flight of the butterfly) and (from seed, to flower) Both symbols resting on a red table, promoting passion, energy and fire.
The android is pleased to be what it is, as we should be pleased with who we are and how we should be growing. This cycle of birth, growth, maturity, ageing and death is one of infinity. It goes ever onwards, ever spiraling higher till the long journey is complete, till we have returned to the point of the nine rays, the third eye, the three, trinity of God-head; The Crown, The Wisdom and The Understanding, formed above the abyss of duality, where there is unity and the Allness.
We are our own shaman guides, the mediator between man (our lower selves) and Spirit (Higher self, the Only Self.) We can be the bridge to our own wholeness. Just take control. Learn. Evolve. Open up our crowns (our royalty) and our hearts (The Love Force)
Align our WILL to the WILL of the universe which is the will-to-good and we shall be ushered, surely, to the All Light of The Gods.
It seems the Sword Maiden has now taken form of The King in future time. Silver wings of the mind expanded, hands firmly gripped on the sword of the four directions (cross symbolism of the downward facing sword) the four directions equating to the four elements. Mastery over fire, water, air and earth. Mastery over Will, Emotions, Mind and Material Life. This may be the goal, of this earth plane. Mastery over the self and the elements of life.
The king is heightened upon clouds, winged like an angel, our angelic self in full expression. The upward triangle is the sign of air, also a direction of scaling the heights, ‘heading up’ points to Heaven. A line dissects the triangle, separating the upper and the lower natures though both existing in one triangle. The mystery and the message repeat itself here. Royalty revisits our poor state. We are kings again, of authority and power over the reality we wish to create.
Lightning streaks in his blue cloak, a sign of raw energy moving through spirituality, charging up that which conceals us, our flesh, our clothes. The lightning is one that moves through us and within us, just as it says that prayer and mantras is lightning in reverse. From the earth to the heavens, we send our signal to manifest and the power comes down upon us again, manifested. We are empowered to believe and belief strikes first from the mind into the heart and into existence. We channel the power down, through us, into our earthly plane (Remember how the magician stands). Here we make the miracles happen, the magic of everyday life, once we have regained our right to be Kings over our own minds.
‘The ALL is mind, The Universe is Mental.’ This is the first Hermetic principle.
(The Eyes sees, the Eye penetrates, What does it see?)
Cups collide above land and sea. On the left are leaves in full expression, on the right, only dry twigs, stripped of life. The larger leaves seem crisp and dried, where has the freshness gone? Perhaps that is why there’s mixed happiness.
Not everything is rosy. Not everything is smooth (see how textured the whole scene is, how rough.) The difficult times are here. Full blown, lingering, post-mortem. It had come, it stays, had just left. Doesn’t matter. It leaves some kind of situation, a taste stuck on our tongues. So what do we focus on? What we can still do, or what we have been stopped from doing? What we have lost or what we still have? Are we on the side of life or death?
As for the cups, we pour water into an ocean, an almost pointless task, while we also pour water onto the dry land, surely, something must come of it. SO why don’t we pour all four cups unto the land? To fertilize it, to give it life?
Watch how we may be pursuing the pointless things. Are we wasting our creative energy (water energy)? In another word, this means not investing emotions into things that have no life anymore. A toxic relationship, an old way of life, an unsuitable career. Whatever is holding us back or keeping us down. Nurture what is meaningful.
Spend our emotions wisely, then the mixed shall be turned into full happiness.
We live in noise and harshness, rush forward, amassing our fortunes, watching crime and war on TV while eating popcorn. Desensitization is our disease. We are angry angels.
Tenderness has an energy that is motherly and nurturing, gentle in its own powerful way. In the last bleeding throes, It is tenderness a dying soldier wants. Not a return fire. Not revenge. But of caring voice that says, “It’s Alright, It’s OK. You’re going home now…”
There is a tenderness in silence. In the quietude of sitting by a lake or of staring up at the stars, in the dark of our own room, we can choose to be vast and centered, expansive like the galaxy. Here we can take care of our sensitive spirits. Spirit is gentle. Spirit is tender.
Do we show tenderness to those around us? Especially children? Are we concerned enough for one another? Especially the sick and the sad? Are we even taking out our anger at our pets? Just because they love us not matter what?
To serve with gentility, to understand that beneath any grim and hard surface, hidden behind that unbreakable façade is a being waiting to be cared for, waiting to be loved, softens the blows of a difficult life. It’s a gentle strength like that of the strength card where the woman calmly soothes the savage beast. So too can we soothe this violent world, when we show a little more care and tenderness.
What do we give to others? How do we give?
The flower is symbolic of spiritual unfolding and it is in the spirit of giving and of sharing, that the soul unfolds. Our own growth is food for another’s maturity. How we grow, the methods we use, the paths we have followed, the lessons we have learnt, should be shared with those who are willing to receive.
We can’t do this alone.
The gift of Sophia, of Wisdom is for all. Spirit is for everyone, the boundless light will serve us, those after us, till the end that does not come. We cannot keep it. We cannot lock it up in our drawers. The more we aim to reserve spirit for ourselves, the more elusive it can get.
Give and it shall keep coming unto you.
The sun rises and shines on all. The flower may be small the bush, inarticulate, but all deserves the sun’s life giving rays. Someone may be ‘small’ perhaps in mind or spirit, but that doesn’t mean he or she cannot grow. We can help one another to grow, by providing whatever it is we can provide.
Spread a little more love and knowledge. Use your gifts in the service of others. Share your stories and your faults, your strengths and your weaknesses. Let it out of you so that more can come in.
Giving and receiving is like breathing. Naturally in, naturally out, natural all around.

ARTHURIAN TAROT – SWORD MAIDEN
Our silver lighted mind is sheaved in a scabbard of intricate designs. The maiden could be one who seduces, who eroticizes, who weaves the designs. Is this a distraction? Could the pretty things in this world’s temporary parade be hiding or even dulling the gleaming shine of a consciousness filled with light?We are all always learning to use our minds. It can harm, it can sever what does not belong, it can be a righteous tool or a damning one. It can create safety or instill fear. However we wish to use it, it is our choice.
The maiden is a student, not yet a mother ready with shaping another child, not yet a wizened old woman, potent and experienced, discerning and frightening all at once.

To knight a man or behead him. That too is our choice.
EXPERIMENTAL TAROT – SHAMAN – 9 – WILL – A – SIGN OF MERCURY AND INFINITY.
Nine laser red rays shoot out the Third eye of the silver bodied masculine android. The nine rays may allude to the nine gifts of the spirit, distributing the nine powers of Wisdom, knowledge and discernment. Faith, healing and miracle working. Prophecy, speaking in tongues and the interpretation of tongues.These also, are gifts of the Shaman. Not everyone gets all gifts. They receive according to their own needs and missions. The robot here is the light-worker, the magician, the healer. Governed by the WILL, transmitting energy fluidly and effectively via Mercury.
Learning is its foundation, as seen by the manuscripts before the figure. There should be a need for understanding the background, to be theoretically armed and executed through practical applications, of anything one chooses to do as a profession, a calling, a job.

Align our WILL to the WILL of the universe which is the will-to-good and we shall be ushered, surely, to the All Light of The Gods.
LEGACY OF THE DIVINE TAROT – KING OF SWORDS
(A Take on The Futurism)It seems the Sword Maiden has now taken form of The King in future time. Silver wings of the mind expanded, hands firmly gripped on the sword of the four directions (cross symbolism of the downward facing sword) the four directions equating to the four elements. Mastery over fire, water, air and earth. Mastery over Will, Emotions, Mind and Material Life. This may be the goal, of this earth plane. Mastery over the self and the elements of life.
The king is heightened upon clouds, winged like an angel, our angelic self in full expression.

Here we make the miracles happen, the magic of everyday life, once we have regained our right to be Kings over our own minds.
‘The ALL is mind, The Universe is Mental.’ This is the first Hermetic principle.
HAINDL TAROT –MIXED HAPPINESS – FOUR OF CUPS
(The Eyes sees, the Eye penetrates, What does it see?)
Cups collide above land and sea. On the left are leaves in full expression, on the right, only dry twigs, stripped of life. The larger leaves seem crisp and dried, where has the freshness gone? Perhaps that is why there’s mixed happiness.
Not everything is rosy. Not everything is smooth (see how textured the whole scene is, how rough.) The difficult times are here. Full blown, lingering, post-mortem. It had come, it stays, had just left. Doesn’t matter. It leaves some kind of situation, a taste stuck on our tongues. So what do we focus on?

Spend our emotions wisely, then the mixed shall be turned into full happiness.
ESOTERIC ANCIENT TAROT -42-TENDERNESS
How battle hardened we can become in such a world, that we forget the tenderness of a soft breeze, of the motion of tall grasses, of our own fragile soul.We live in noise and harshness, rush forward, amassing our fortunes, watching crime and war on TV while eating popcorn. Desensitization is our disease. We are angry angels.
Tenderness has an energy that is motherly and nurturing, gentle in its own powerful way. In the last bleeding throes, It is tenderness a dying soldier wants. Not a return fire. Not revenge. But of caring voice that says, “It’s Alright, It’s OK. You’re going home now…”
There is a tenderness in silence. In the quietude of sitting by a lake or of staring up at the stars, in the dark of our own room, we can choose to be vast and centered, expansive like the galaxy. Here we can take care of our sensitive spirits. Spirit is gentle. Spirit is tender.
Do we show tenderness to those around us? Especially children? Are we concerned enough for one another? Especially the sick and the sad? Are we even taking out our anger at our pets? Just because they love us not matter what?
To serve with gentility, to understand that beneath any grim and hard surface, hidden behind that unbreakable façade is a being waiting to be cared for, waiting to be loved, softens the blows of a difficult life. It’s a gentle strength like that of the strength card where the woman calmly soothes the savage beast. So too can we soothe this violent world, when we show a little more care and tenderness.
ROBIN WOOD TAROT – 6 OF CUPS
The third card in a series of cups sequences speaks to us about giving and compassion, as if to reinforce the nature of tenderness, as if to balance out the cold steel of the mind, the fire heat of the will.What do we give to others? How do we give?
The flower is symbolic of spiritual unfolding and it is in the spirit of giving and of sharing, that the soul unfolds. Our own growth is food for another’s maturity. How we grow, the methods we use, the paths we have followed, the lessons we have learnt, should be shared with those who are willing to receive.
We can’t do this alone.
The gift of Sophia, of Wisdom is for all. Spirit is for everyone, the boundless light will serve us, those after us, till the end that does not come. We cannot keep it. We cannot lock it up in our drawers. The more we aim to reserve spirit for ourselves, the more elusive it can get.
Give and it shall keep coming unto you.
The sun rises and shines on all. The flower may be small the bush, inarticulate, but all deserves the sun’s life giving rays. Someone may be ‘small’ perhaps in mind or spirit, but that doesn’t mean he or she cannot grow. We can help one another to grow, by providing whatever it is we can provide.
Spread a little more love and knowledge. Use your gifts in the service of others. Share your stories and your faults, your strengths and your weaknesses. Let it out of you so that more can come in.
Giving and receiving is like breathing. Naturally in, naturally out, natural all around.
