1: The Magician

The magician, while technically the second major arcana is numbered with a Roman numeral I indicating that this is the first step of the journey the fool has led us on. 


 Taking a look at the magician card, our vision is flooded with a variety of things all clamoring for our attention. The young person is dressed in a white robe of a spiritual novice with a belt of light blue indicating intuitive connection, and a red cloak indicating material pleasure, groundedness, good fortune, and physical materialization. Above their head is an infinity symbol reminding us energy is infinite and never ending. In front of the wooden table and above their head are massive vines filled with lilys and roses, signifying both an abundance of spiritual protection and material pleasure/beauty. On the table we see a sword, a wand, a cup, and a disk, representing each of the elements and the minor suits of the tarot. With each of their hands pointing both above them and below them, they are holding the traditional pose indicating the spiritual idea of  “as above, so below”.

 The magician is one of the biggest cards indicating manifestation. The magician tells you that whatever you can imagine you can create on earth. It is a sign that you are in the part of your journey where you can master your ability to manifest your desires, your ideal path, your ideal outcome. You simply must put in the work to achieve the desired outcome. In order to do this, the magician masters the ability to turn formless ideas into formed reality. 

When drawing the magician it is a good indication that you have or are reaching a place of high ability in regards to manifesting your desires into your current reality. it can also be a solid reminder than you aren’t a victim of your circumstances, and that it is an opportune time to act in your best interest to create that which you desire most.

11: Justice

Image
The 11th card in the major arcana is Justice and within many clues are provided to its meaning and purpose in a reading.. let’s take a look.. Our initial glance at the card we sees woman dressed in red robes symbolizing connection with successfully manifesting in the material world, a crown signifying her authority both in spirit and material worlds. Justice is of course holding her scales symbolizing her part in karmic justice and the weighing of deeds, and her sword represents the clarity of vision and connection to intuition needed to weigh all things carefully. She sits on a chair between two pillars, with a red cloth hiding what is beyond her judgment. The two pillars are reminiscent of the High Priestess card, where the querent must earn the right to traverse beyond the boundaries of the known, into the realm of the teachings of the Goddess and esoteric mystery schools. The justice card is showing us that karma is coming around the corner. The law of balance and karma, what goes ...

16: The Tower

Image
The Tower card right after the Devil card always feels a little overwhelming! There is a good reason the Tower follows the Devil and why it, like the Devil is not at all as scary as it first seems to be…   On the card we see a giant tower being struck by a bolt of lightning which blows the giant crown shaped roof off of the tower and sets it ablaze. We see fire coming out from the top and the windows and a man and a woman falling out of the windows. They both have blue and red items of clothing on symbolizing material desires and intuitive connection. Their faces are filled with fear and surprise which makes sense considering the circumstance. One may ask why didn’t they just attempt to leave the tower if they had an idea a storm was coming, instead of possibly falling to their death as a result of an inevitable strike of lightning causing them to leap? If you look closely, you see there is no door on the tower. They had no way to leave, besides the window. These two built a tower ...

14: Temperance

Image
 Major Arcana 14 is Temperance. Such a truly perfect card to come after the death card! An angel blessing us with impartial waters of life, or something else? Let’s go! There is an awful lot going on in this card but the first thing that catches our eye is this seemingly divine figure pouring water between two golden cups. Dressed in a white gown with beautiful red wings, we see a theme that repeats itself over and over in this card. White being heavenly/holy/pure and red being material/carnal/passion, we recognize this being as a balance between spiritual and material aspects of reality/existence. With one foot in the water and one on land we see the same theme, material and spiritual repeated, and we can assume from this theme the two cups passing water back and forth also have to do with the importance of existing in the material and spiritual realms. For each realm gives us different perspectives and values that must be used simultaneously for us to transcend the disconnection ...
