Roads Taken ... and Not Taken
Along the Mystic's Path ... and the Tarot Trail

Everything that is part of your life inevitably shapes your life. Tonight I find that an interesting statement. On the one hand, it sounds odd to admit -- or proclaim -- that even small, careless decisions can have surprising, far-reaching consequences. And yet, on the other hand, it's so obvious. Wonderful stories and great dramas have been composed around the amazing -- and sometimes tragic -- results that ripple out from a simple gesture ... or a careless moment.

The road taken creates experience and history. The road not taken seals itself shut behind you -- and yet its possibilities can shimmer for a lifetime in your dreams, your fantasies, the movies of your imagination ... its secrets as intriguing as unopened gifts and letters.

The Celtic Cross Revisited

It's a standard feature in the repertoire of any Tarot reader who has ever picked up cards and opened the Little White Book of cheap paper and usually less than helpful meanings for the cards that comes packed with every deck -- a layout design for the Celtic Cross. It looks suitably weird and mysterious. A kind of circle with a line of cards beside it.

When I first discovered it ... some forty years ago, the directions for this thing were confusing and illogical, couched themselves in obscure snippets of nonsense. (This covers him, this crosses him, this crowns him, this lies beneath, these are his hopes and fears ...

Rebecca BrentsA lot of mystery surrounds the Tarot and its uses. In fact, that applies to all the intuitive sciences and their mystical tools. The Tarot can have some almost miraculous applications. I bless the day I finally "cracked the code."

But there are also purposes it was never meant to accomplish ... and knowing those as part of the ground rules for using this mystifying portal into the intuitive wisdom of your subconscious mind seems only fair.

The "believers" in this wonderful occult discipline (as well as some of the more unsavory practitioners!!!) sometimes cause more problems than the scoffers and skeptics, and the misunderstandings that result can be serious.

A shocking amount of extremely unhelpful literature on the subject kept me in the dark for a lot of years on just what the Tarot offers ... and the ways it can add tremendous depth to the life of the sincere spiritual seeker.

Why Does the Tarot Work?

Recommended Book from Amazon

Living the Tarot
By
Amber Jayanti At its most superficial level, the Tarot contains cards which when randomly selected with a question, problem or request in mind and laid out in a pre-arranged pattern will tell a story to someone who knows how to "read" the cards.

The text of the story is usually a blend of what the reader knows intellectually about the meaning associated with each of the cards ... the energy and tiny piece of the grand story of life that card depicts, and the intuitive messages the reader receives as he or she contemplates the situation, question, or problem being examined.

These intuitive messages come through feelings and "flashes" the reader will experience as he or she merges with the situation and "experiences" the atmosphere there. (Ok, maybe that sounds a little spooky, but I really don't have another, better way to describe it.)

Integral Tarot (Integral Tarot: Decoding the Essence)
By
Suzanne Wagner The decision to study the Tarot can stem from many reasons, all unique, some hard to explain. For me, there was a fascination with the future and the ability to see into it, beyond the shadow of the next moment, or tomorrow ... or next week. In that, I'm sure I'm not alone.

I actually tried to start my study of the Tarot back 40+ years ago, when I was in my teens. Maybe I was too young and unseasoned to understand the seriousness of this effort, or appreciate the intricacies of this art ... back then, but my efforts weren't helped one bit by the absolutely dreadful published texts that were available. They were contradictory. They made no sense. They were poorly written. They offered no cohesive or logical structure to use as a foundation for this project.

Joan Bunning Rods (which correspond to the suit of Clubs) -- and depending on the specific Tarot are also depicted and named as staves, wands, batons, and scepters. Rods focus on issues of personal ambition, professional goals, public reputation, individual vision and destiny, matters of self-confidence, courage, charisma, pride, and initiative. Corrupted, weakened, or inverted Rods can display abuse of power, overweening ambition, confused personal direction, a lack of cooperation, weak will, vanity, timidity, and laziness.

Why Learn the Tarot?

Why learn the Tarot? It's a fair question. But there can be several reasons why people ask me this. They wonder why someone who looks and sounds as sane and sensible as I do in "real life" would spend time learning (and teaching and advising and making money from) something which sounds so foolish, frivolous, and illogical on the surface -- or as far as their often very limited information goes.

The Tarot
Where Do You Begin?

Recommended Book from Amazon

Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners
By
Joan Bunning First of all, the Tarot is broken into two (or arguably three) different sections.

The Major Arcana of the Tarot contains the archetypal symbols (vast transpersonal and spiritual patterns that underlie and support human growth, behavior, perspectives and experience) that are found in the lore and religious underpinnings of every known culture.

The Major Arcana tells the story of the Fool's Journey ... or the Hero's Journey ... from his moment of embarking on life's grand adventure through the stages of initiation and evolution that will lead him finally to a pinnacle of success and wisdom ... from which he may begin the process again at a more sophistical level of knowledge and with more complex challenges on the path he travels.

What's in the Cards for 9/11

On September 11, 2001 we were sending out a free version of our "What's in the Cards?" Ezines in three separate documents. One for Life ... dealing with the overall theme of the day ahead and the immediate future. One for Love and the theme of upcoming human relationships. And one for Money ... and material, physical, health, and economic issues.

I remember being troubled by the appearance of these three cards at the time I drew them ... and so concerned about the disturbing atmosphere they carried that I almost reshuffled the deck to try again and see if something more "cheerful" came up. (I used to get complaints from people subscribed to the free ezines that they didn't want anything unhappy or "negative." That's one reason we stopped doing them. Gripes from people about free stuff wasn't something I wanted to deal with, frankly.)
