Grey’s Anatomy Tarot Reflections

(Fenestra Tarot Deck – by Chatriya – Oct 31, 2006) One of my daily routines is to turn on netflix and watch Grey’s Anatomy while sipping my coffee. Today I was watching Season 7, Episode 2 and the scene was where a flag football team came into the ER with wounds after being struck by...

8 of swords – Free Me !!

  Sometimes one can be in the perfect mood, and once they leave the house, someone else who is in a bad mood rubs off on them, and steals their joy! There is nothing more annoying to me. We all know the saying, “Misery loves company.” How true. The other day I went to the...

Tarot Symbolism: Enemy of The State

by Odyn PenDragon The core idea of Atu VX “The Devil” is that of Enjoying Any Sensory Experience that you desire. By extension, that includes Any Sensual Experience that you desire. All other considerations are auxiliary. But, to me, the primary auxiliary consideration is rather the Abandonment of Morality: to actually ‘know’ that “morality” is...

Tarot Symbolism: The Initial Vehicle

by Odyn PenDragon I consider Atu VII to be the first “real lesson” in the Trump Series. Atus I-VI have been of the nature of preparation. (It can be argued that Atu VI, due to the complex nature of its depiction, is the first lesson. I would simply argue that it is the last, and...

Tarot Symbolism: The Broken Prison

By Odyn PenDragon (this is not just ‘food’ for Thoth) Atu XVI is commonly called “The Tower” or more fully “The Blasted Tower”. My own chosen alternate title would be “The Crumbling of The Prison Walls” or more simply “The Broken Prison”. The key idea is that An Established Stable Edifice becomes Utterly Destabilized! The...

Telling Time with Tarot

By Andrew McGregor I do a lot of divination for myself and for others. One of the most awkward questions for me to answer has always been, “when will this particular thing happen?” Some cards have obvious associations with timelines but others do not. How long a time is suggested by the knight of cups?...

Fie…! Fie…! Oh, wait a minute… I meant, Five!

The number Five in the Minor Arcana…. Of course, it is a struggle with the fives…! (And the fives would be happy I said that!) But then, again, it is the fives that are something, if anything is anything at all… (Now the fives are happier you have agreed!) You see, the universe is always...

Lenormand – FREE course + deck download

Today I simply have to share my most recent obsession and Cartomancy indulgence. In one word, Lenormand! Okay, so it’s not strictly tarot,  this is a 36-card oracle system named after Madame Lenormand, the most famous card-reader of all time. She was the cartomancer of Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte, amongst others. Mlle Lenormand claimed to...

Tarot Symbolism: The Ultimate Pilot – Thoth Tarot

By Odyn PenDragon Atu XX is called “The Aeon” in the Crowley-Harris Tarot. Crowley’s use of the term is difficult and misleading, especially for “the beginner”. He ‘distorted’ the idea of “an epoch” to conform to his desire to ‘create a new religion’ (a huge mistake in my opinion). One is better off investigating the...
