Text of the page (random words):
sible options it may be that our poor knight arrives and loses sight of what he is looking for the four arrow like arrangement seem to say concentrate on this one it stresses the importance of having a clear financial goal in mind and not getting distracted by all the tempting bling keep it simple keep it focussed it s interesting that both spreads also had a court card of higher rank suggesting more experienced heads will collaborate in these areas posted in uncategorized leave a comment journal entry april 2020 january 13 2021 by 78mirrors today i thought i would try a new spread and chose the messengers of news spread from caitlin matthews book untold tarot the idea is to shuffle the cards and pull the sequence of cards which each page faces pages represent messengers traditionally and each brings news on a certain area of life this is focussed on the next month the page of batons is facing towards two knights knight of swords and knight of batons he brings news about social events and projects or interests i don t think there will be much going on socially except the possible contact of two older individuals one is charging back into my life with some enthusiasm while the other is heading my way but is distracted i think this person wants to get into contact but is currently preoccupied with projects concerns of their own the knights could also represent some forward movement on projects of my own the knight of swords could be a sudden surge in ideas and the impetus to make something of them the other three pages have all fallen in a sequence together the page of swords is focussing on the page of cups and the page of deniers this suggests that for the next month my work family and financial life are all closely connected this makes absolute sense as there is currently no separation in these spheres the lockdown has narrowed my life substantially the news in these areas show a brief expansion followed by a contraction the 7 of swords brings a possible improvement or opportunity in the intellectual sphere it may be possible to cut through a rigid thought pattern this may have brought stability in the past but is now too constricting this outward focus is carried into the 8 of batons the enclosed circle of the previous card has opened out and it becomes more like a windmill the flow of energy is able to circulate more freely this can be a creative time to either consolidate what has been learned previously or bring in a positive improvement the sequence ends with the ace of deniers which acts like a full stop if i can break free from the mental structures which are no longer useful and start to work productively on my projects there can be a new financial opportunity the seed for further growth can be planted alternatively i might end up down to my last penny update nearly a year later it s funny to see how this spread played out there was indeed an new opportunity presented for a creative endeavour and i ended up bringing in some money via teaching this was all done via zoom and so linked together the work home and financial aspects which were highlighted here it was such an interesting spread and i think i will repeat this again this week posted in uncategorized 2 comments a return february 25 2014 by 78mirrors can t believe quite how long it s been since i last posted here but it has been a busy year i took a little bit of time away from tarot to explore other types of cartomancy and have a baby life has settled a bit now so i can start blogging again and share my experiences with the cards for those who are interested i ll be expanding this blog to include more posts on other divination systems and the first set of new posts will be about ones i have been exploring in my tarot break looking forward to sharing them all posted in uncategorized 2 comments work rest and pay february 10 2013 by 78mirrors how can i make the most of new opportunities at work the devil four of swords eight of coins interesting to see the eight of coins here today as i had been reflecting on my last reading and come to see this as also signifying the offer of a pay increase in recognition of my skills it makes sense for this to appear in this work focussed question the devil as the first card suggests that it will not be easy to make the most of the new opportunities presented to me it can stand for an unhealthy obsession and clinging on i also see it those things which seem very tempting on the surface and which encourage us to throw long term caution to the wind in pursuit of a short term fix of pleasure it is unrestrained impulse paul huson also suggests in his lwb that this card can stand for tyranny which brings adversity this fits quite well with what i know of my workplace there is a tyranny of sorts in that the same small group of people have been in charge for a very long time and it is difficult to propose something new there is a clinging to an old system which is driven by passion and very strong feeling the temptation may also be to simply work too hard there is an interesting expression working like a demon which has connotations of being obsessed with work and never giving yourself a break the four of swords often has the meaning of rest or retirement in this situation i can see it as advice to remove myself from the passions represented by that devil and take time out to contemplate the situation carefully it can also indicate a retirement well i m nowhere near retirement age but wonder if there might be an unexpected development for someone else the eight of coins brings the reward and recognition for hard work and a job done well it s quite a complicated set of cards but the implication seems to be that i need to try and keep out of the politics and keep working hard there is also the hint here that some aspects are being controlled by larger forces and i may not have as much ability to influence events as i think work hard rest later and hope i receive payment image copyright 2007 paul huson 2008 lo scarabeo posted in dame fortune s wheel 4 comments getting the glad rags on february 6 2013 by 78mirrors i m not really one for doing daily draws with cards a few times a week is quite sufficient for me so for the last few days i have spent some time simply shuffling my deck and looking carefully at the cards there are all sorts of interesting little symbols which have particular meaning and add dimension to readings i ve also downloaded the extended lwb from lo scarabeo s site which helps to explain some of the imagery which piqued my interest it is obvious that paul huson has put a huge amount of scholarship into this deck it s one of those where things appear in the imagery quite deliberately it s a fascinating trail to follow i ll write a post detailing some of these soon in the meantime here is my three card draw for today significator eight of coins three of coins the first card i pulled is the significator it is supposed to represent the person asking the question i didn t deliberately choose this card but picked it at random when this happens i tend to see the message in the other cards as being particularly significant for me the eight of coins shows a young woman handing over some money to pay for a fabulous crown being fashioned by the craftsman there is obviously some important occasion coming up where she will need to dress her best the three of coins has a herald sharing some news someone of importance is coming to visit the clover shows that this is someone held in great esteem suddenly the need for the woman to look her best becomes clear these cards suggest to me that i may need to splash out on a new outfit to prepare for an important visitor it seems to be linked to a work event alternatively i may be the craftsman and need to help someone else put on their best possible face image copyright 2007 paul huson image copyright 2008 lo scarabeo posted in dame fortune s wheel 2 comments the wheel turns february 3 2013 by 78mirrors i ve made the decision to go back and use a favourite deck intensively for a while in my foray of trying out a different deck every week i really learnt what type of deck suits me and which are best left as collectors items it has meant that i have became far less likely to jump on the latest releases thanks to enthusiastic gushing of others my bank balance is also quite thankful i ve been craving time with just one deck for a long time the weekly deck hopping just wasn t satisfying me anymore enter dame fortune s wheel regular readers will remember how much i enjoyed using dame fortune s wheel created by paul huson and published by lo scarabeo it is based on etteilla s meanings rather than rws golden dawn and that is very appealing at the moment so i m afraid there won t be much variety here for a while at least until the spring equinox but i m looking forward to delving deeper with this little gem the moon ten of batons knight of coins my eye is immediately drawn to the snake in the centre who is curled round the tree but looks ready to strike and protect what is his it is a card which warns of cheating someone is planning a ruse and all is not quite as it may seem there is a little hint of hypocrisy the way he is curled round the tree makes me think that this snake is acting out of self interest and wants to protect what is his the moon brings an increase but can also indicate that something is hidden in the half light a time of growth approaches but something else lurks it seems that this snake is what is hiding in the shadows he acts as a second warning that something is false things are not as they may appear with the moon i m inclined to think that it is my perceptions which are false or that i m being false to protect something which is important to me the knight of coins brings something useful an advantage of some sort it is this which the snake would like to protect overall there is a message of a time of increase and something advantageous coming my way however there is a falseness to it whether this is a hidden pitfall to what seems positive on the surface or a need to be sly and false myself to protect it might be too early to say image copyright 2007 paul huson 2008 lo scarabeo posted in dame fortune s wheel 2 comments taking stock a general overview january 21 2013 by 78mirrors today i decided to finally use a spread i ve been wanting to try for ages it is a general spread created by chiriku on aeclectic tarot which can be customised the spread can be found here http www tarotforum net showthread php t 185514 i like the fact that it is adaptable and can be shortened if an in depth or predictive reading is not required it s been a while since i ve done something in depth for myself beyond the usual 2 or 3 card draws and the beginning of a new year is always a good time to take stock 1 where i have come from the star i have come from a place of hope and healing the star suggests a difficult time where i may have looked to spiritual guidance or direction it often prompts questions in me of whether or not i m on the right path is this destined to succeed fail it gives the hope that what i seek is possible even if it isn t here yet i feel like i have been in this hopeful place for a long time and today i finally had some news which gives it more substance 2 the cards draw my attention to king of swords this brings to mind a situation where a fair and impartial judgement will be called for it will require rational thought as well as keeping eye on the long term strategy it will be important not to act rashly but to consider all possibilities as far as possible i will need to keep emotions out of the choice this will not be easy as i tend to think with my heart rather than my head at times 3 i am affected by 6 of swords i am affected by a journey i made recently from a difficult place i got in that boat and left hoping to find less choppy waters or even the greener grass on the other side of the river bank however i have struggled to leave the emotional baggage behind and have instead carried it with me in some ways it keeps me in a circular loop with the star i keep going over old ground and trying to see if there is some higher message instead of letting go and allowing myself to heal the king of swords energy would be very useful here to help me take a dispassionate look and see what ballast can be cut free 4 stop doing 8 of swords the first phrase which sprang to mind was to stop tying myself in knots i see myself as bound and imprisoned but those ties and swords are my own creations i feel restricted but if i could just removes the blindfold i would see that the way ahead is clear 5 start doing the empress the empress brings a call to nurture i think here there is a message to nurture myself to treat myself gently it is also a call to creativity the empress is pregnant with creation and abundance and i need to tap into that flow within myself in particular i see this card as a reminder that i can create my own abundance it s time to embody that empress energy in my own life 6 7 and 8 prepare myself for 5 of swords 3 of wands and 2 of cups the 5 of swords is such an ambiguous card for me sometimes i identify with the winner but mostly i feel that i ve come out on the losing end of a fight this time it is the winner which stands out to me there will be a battle of wits which for once i could win again the king of swords influence is felt here i need to keep my cool and not let emotional entanglements get the better of me the 3 of wands points to coming results in a new endeavour the idea has been launched and the ships will start to come in the 2 of cups brings with it the promise of a new partnership 9 a gift for me strength this is a positive end to the spread despite some tough experiences i have the strength to get through them i often think of this card as a sort of moral strength too at least some of my tough experiences recently have come from an unwillingness to compromise my ideals and play the game there seems to be a thread running through this reading that it might actually be necessary for me to play a game in a battle of wits but that i can keep hold of that sense of fairness posted in albano waite leave a comment do and don t do december 9 2012 by 78mirrors a simple 2 card spread for today do ace of swords there is something quite dynamic about this card the sword points downwards and alongside it four feathers bend to meet it at its point it creates the impression of energy being funnelled and focused in one direction the space behind is completely white which gives me the feeling of clarity and lack of distractions my advice for today would be to focus on the tasks i want to complete minimising distractions with a clear intention i can find the mental energy to get the job done don t do 5 of cups no wallowing allowed this card is in stark contrast to the sword while the ace of swords brings with it a mental clarity and the ability to cut through the...
