from Time Spent with the Tarot

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

A 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.

Applying the Tarot's Teaching
to Real Life Experience

Excerpt from
To See with Your Own Eyes

Yes, the Tarot can be used to answer questions. It can even, to an eerie extent, be used to forecast the future -- perhaps because we humans are so predictable, so habit-bound, so likely to follow the same paths to the same dreary conclusions ... and then berate ourselves for making the same old mistakes over and over again. Psychologists sometimes call this "the familiar spot." You wind up in it over and over again. You've been here before -- over and over again. You say you'd do anything to stay out of it.

Taking the Tarot to Heart
By
Mark McElroy I was young and wanted to know about the future. By young, I mean I was in my early teens -- and the future stretched mysterious and frightening before me, a misty, chilly place with a heart of darkness I didn't understand. I could feel it though. A chaotic turbulence rumbling like distant thunder. It was the dawn of the 1960s.

Television programs contained the simplicity and silliness of Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, Bonanza and Gunsmoke. Real life, dead ahead, contained much more sobering themes -- for the world and for me personally. In my bones, I knew it ... and wanted some warning, some preparation on what to expect.

Lessons like this are expensive. You pay for them all ... in many different kinds of currency -- most of which have nothing to do with cash. You pay in wasted effort and wasted time. You pay in disappointment, and confusion, and tears.

Elements of the Tarot

Excerpt from
Uses of the Tarot

As a stimulus for synchronicity ... a practice which historically has shown an eerie ability to forecast the development of coming events. In other words, "fortune-telling" ... perhaps the most commonly known use of the Tarot, although its various and checkered reputations as something magical, unworldly, or "evil" are overblown and should be cautiously understood with exactly that fact in mind.

History of the Tarot

Excerpt from
The History of the Tarot

Much of the early history of the Tarot remains unclear and is often controversial. Stories associated with the origins of the Tarot are often fanciful, romantic ... and wrong -- or at least unprovable.

In my travels I've seen the usual references to gypsies ... which the Tarot's pop culture reputation certainly keeps alive. But I've also seen speculation about possible origins in ancient Egypt ... or in the help-me-keep-my-sanity project of a snowbound monk, trapped and alone in the Italian Alps.

Walking the Path of the Major Arcana
Literally ... The Adventure of a Lifetime

Notes on the Major Arcana

The Major Arcana of the Tarot depicts a course in personal development -- the legendary Hero's Journey, from innocence to wisdom. Some students of the Tarot believe this particular sequence of cards is essentially intended to be -- as well as to show -- a path to enlightenment -- a means of discovering the true Self.

A Stroll Through the Major Arcana
Astrology Signs and Archetypes in the Tarot
by Rebecca Brents

Excerpt from
The Face of a Fool
The Mirror of Man in the Tarot

The Fool is Card Number 0 in the Major Arcana. An interesting mathematical metaphor, zero: expressing both nothingness and infinity. Not the beginning point, defined by any limits ... but some quality that exists before the beginning ... the tabula rasa, the blank slate, whose void contains all potential. What an interesting, concise, and to-the-point portrait of the human being -- which is exactly what The Fool depicts.

Excerpt from
Conjuring The Fool

In most Tarot decks, The Fool is colorful, attention-grabbing ... yet at the same time, a worrisome figure. He looks like someone you might cross the street to avoid, if you saw him coming toward you on the sidewalk ... or a ways off down the road. He often looks appropriately homeless. He's dancing rather than walking. He sometimes plays a flute. It's not hard to imagine that he both sings and talks to himself. Like crazy people do.
