Lily Wight’s Spring Equinox Tarot Reading ~ Revised With Extra Information ~ Please Feel Free To Share Your Wisdom

Posted in Arcana, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 28, 2012 | 15 Comments »

     Hello Blogsprites!

 

     I hope you are enjoying the Spring sunshine.

     It seems that some of my fellow Tarot readers are not familiar with the Deviant Moon spread I tried out for my Ostara personal reading.  I have been asked to include some extra details to assist their kind interpretations.

     I focused on a general enquiry regarding my progress through the year relating to a new creative venture.

 


     1.  The Inquirer, Present Day ~ The Magus

     2.  Past Influences ~ The Six of Wands

     3.  Subconscious Influences ~ The King of Wands

     4.  Secret Desires & Wishes ~ The King of Swords

     5.  Hidden Forces ~ The Hierophant

     6.  Events Yet To Come ~ The Three of Pentacles

     7.  Surrounding Environment ~ Death

     8.   Influence Of Others ~ The Five of Wands

     9.  Spiritual Forces ~ The Seven of Cups

     10.  Final Outcome ~ The Four of Swords

     

     I feel like I am on the right track, side-stepping conflict and heeding the strong male role-models who seem to surround me now.  This is definitely a period of dramatic transition and thoughtful development.  I’ve got my eyes peeled for positive collaborations.

     I would be grateful for any of your thoughts and interpretations,

 

     Love Lily xx

The Seven of Swords sometimes represents the "lone-wolf" style—
the desire to run lone and free. He discovers, investigates and solves
every problem using only his own wits and resources.
He believes he's successful because he ignores
the fumbling efforts of ordinary people.

The Seven of Swords can be a sign that you or someone else
wants to be a lone wolf.

The Tarot According to Kate Mosse

Posted in Arcana, Books, Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on March 23, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

     I am still musing upon my recent Spring Equinox Tarot reading.  Your thoughts and interpretations are greatly appreciated as always.  

     If you fancy some Tarot themed fiction my review of Sepulchre by Kate Mosse is below…

 

     Following the success of Labyrinth, much-loved by Richard and Judy, Mosse has swiftly and decisively established herself as the female equivalent of airport favourite Dan Brown.

     Sepulchre’s combination of folklore and history weaves a strong yet simple treasure-hunt mystery with Tarot magic and the lush French countryside thrown in for good measure.

     The Nineteenth Century heroine trumps her modern-day counterpart and secondary characters are frustratingly underwritten for a novel with such a hefty word count, yet sensuous description and lyrical prose prevent accusations of peddling pulp and Mosse stays the right side of sentiment, writing romance for intelligent women.

     A light, unchallenging but highly enjoyable read.

 

     See you soon Blogsprites!

Naked Tarot

Posted in Arcana, Musings, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 21, 2012 | 4 Comments »

     If you mention The Tarot superstitious folks tend to back away uttering protective curses and crossing themselves.  I would like to dispel this nonsense.

     The origins of Tarot imagery are debatable but the cards were devised as a playing deck, with four suits combining pip and court cards.

     The supposedly sinister Major Arcana evolved in part so artists and crafters could showcase their skills.  Increasingly elaborate decks were commissioned by wealthy and aristocratic houses simply for the love of owning and displaying beautiful things.

     Tarot images speak the universal language of mythic symbology.  The archetypal characters, concepts and scenarios tell of The Fool’s journey from innocence through experience to enlightenment and self-realisation.  Anyone familiar with Jung’s theories on The Collective Unconscious and Joseph Campbell’s deconstruction of Mythology will find nothing dangerously occult here.

     The images of The Tarot serve a similar purpose to the black-splodge Rorschach Test.  This is a psychological tool which allows us to consider a given situation and order our thoughts and feelings with objectivity.  Meditating upon a Tarot spread can help us perceive things more clearly, negotiate life’s obstacles and acknowledge deep thoughts and desires.

     Like many who appreciate The Tarot I perform a personal reading on each of the United Kingdom’s eight indigenous ancient festival days, the latest being Ostara, The Vernal (or Spring) Equinox which heralds the first day of springtime (Tuesday 20th March).

     I will post my reading here on Friday evening.  As usual I would love to hear your thoughts x
