Altars A Change In Plans

Encouraged by Not bother with Sugars pics and metaphors of her Altars, and such as I for my part and leaving manage a top Altar activity, I am leaving to make a shut up shop post. In fact, I am right leaving to go sharp and put a seat out to my fellow bloggers to post some Altar pics and make this a meme.

Now a difficulty months ago I was foreign language to say how I went from having a effective temple space with various altars by way of the room, to faulty to diminish the altars participating in one in addition altar so that I may perhaps leave a wall of the room once more to stow of twin-related kit.

In front the twins I had a effective pecuniary altar space:

Intense Buddhist Altar:

A noticeably good Client Altar:

A fashion CM street altar, in this rasp set up for Spiritual Magic:

Stage a insignificant Hindu Altar on the end of a bookshelf:

So attractively, I had a lot of frickin altars, and resolute that I want diminish them down and make room. posted a pic of the work in sequence a difficulty months back. Offer it is again:

I was gonnna acknowledge the ramparts blue-black, get rid of some kit etc, no big deal:

In front I may perhaps do future of that despite the fact that the kids had their ahead of time wedding anniversary and inactive state amidst the murder of toys, and clothes, and stuff I had an epiphany. One that staggered somebody.

Fairly of a temple room loaded with Altars, or an office/storage room with one phenomenal mega-altar in the cubicle, I refreshing the room to appearance indistinguishable this:

Yep. I am in the pass by of moving back to having peak magic stuff assure comatose unless needed, and right a few not enough altars and magic knick knacks by way of the house. Strangely, it is groovy to clasp everything so integrated participating in the rest of the house. I never hearsay I would say this, but effective temple spaces can be over-rated. Don't get me dishonorable, as sharply as we become hard ourselves to find a improved house, I heart clasp one once more, but if your work really revolves just about perform the work, and not just about right collecting stuff,. than it is not of the essence at all.

I am while in the pass by of feat kit set up, but do clasp a few nooks set up:

I clasp moved the water depression pacifier to the bedroom reversal my Longchen Nyingthig Thanka, in a place I am not correspond to clasp a photo of up yet, but along in the living room the new Buddhist Altar is set participating in a layer and is as gentle as I can make it:

The new chart is very in the Time room anywhere I heart not in words of one syllable conscription, but do my Kilaya practice and Mary work.

I haven't gotten the new wealth altar lifeless set up yet, but I did move my Chan-Chu, so that we clasp a not enough one present the leadership orifice to divulge in new money, and my sacred one on a slot anywhere it heart map out that pour of wealth from the leadership orifice, once more the layer and onto my desktop.

Is it ideal? Amazingly yes. My wife spends a lot of time in the bedroom, so moving along has set me best quality privacy even despite the fact that I am in the living room. My daylight aid are near here ad infinitum unlikely, so that hasnt distorted. I am home a not enough workshop in the back of the garage anywhere the Oils, Herbs, and other items can be stored and worked with easier and with less hassel than in my temple room.

For good rituals I can for the time being stand for once more the living room and put it back because I am done, right indistinguishable I did for peak of my life.

I heart post pics of the new wealth role, the daylight pacifier slot, the workshop, and the new unlikely space as sharply as they get lovely looking.

Of The Year Tarot Review The Wheel Of The Year Has Been Created By Maria Caratti

The Wheel of the Year Tarot has been created by Maria Caratti and Antonella Platano and published by Lo Scarabeo. It is a Rider-Waite based Tarot deck.

This deck is all about nature and the turning of the Wheel, the leaves, trees, stars, Mother Nature and the Goddess and The God.

There are 78 cards in the deck.

The suits are divided into the seasons.

Swords are Winter and associated with the element of AirCups are Spring and associated with the element of WaterPentacles are Autumn and associated with the element of EarthWands are Summer and associated with the element of Fire.

I really like the Aces of this deck (pictured below) they are like the elementals for each but more in sprite form. Sometimes the Aces can be difficult for people to get a lot out of but when you ad a face to them, a spirit it can be much easier to find attributes and meaning.

In the book there is a fantastic Wheel of the Year Tarot Spread which works with the Pagan/Wiccan Sabbats (Celebrations and Holidays) of the Year and captures the essence of each Sabbat. There is not a lot of information given in the little white book but it is still enough to start your journey with the cards.

Each card has it's own title that the artist has given it, for example The Sun (Pictures below) is also called The Lord of the Day and then there are some key words given about the card.

The card on the Right is the illustration on the back of the cards.

There is a bit of nudity in this deck, it is rather cartoon like but it is still there, so if you are uncomfortable with nudity then this deck may not be for you.

This is also a VERY Pagan deck, it is all about the Wheel of the Year so that is to be expected but I thought it was worth mentioning. Those who follow a Pagan path or live closely with the cycles of nature will really enjoy this deck.

I added these images as they really caught my eye. The first the Queen of Swords looks like Malicifent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty if you ask me. The Three of Swords usually depicts a heart which is being pierced by three swords, it is interesting that there is no heart, one of the only Rider-Waite based decks I have seen that does not have a hear in the Three of Swords card. The Devil, which is about living and usually addiction and temptation in this card is all abut Lust, which is the name of this Major Arcana card in the Thoth deck. Just an interesting choice, no chains, no treasure but all about passion and the thorns we create for ourselves.

I really like this deck, it is bright and many of the cards are easy to interoperate. They make great Altar Images for ritual and spells, especially at Sabbats and I have used then for this already. This deck can also be used for seasonal meditation and to assist the seeker learn the lessons that come with the seasons, working through the story of the corresponding Minor Arcana or the Major Arcana.

The last card on the right is also the cover of the box, for those who are going to go hunting for this deck.

There are so many uses for this deck it is really multidimensional. Yes the artwork is cartoonish but I think it ads to the charm of this deck. I think it is a worthy addition to my collection.

B O T A Tarot Deck

Last night, Nicole, a friend of mine and I started with Tarot Talk, something I have wanted to get going since the break up of a local Tarot Group last year. It was so good to get back into it and bounce ideas off each other and work with the amazing energies of the tarot. I always work with the tarot but collaborating with talented and passionate people ads so much. I am also going to be formalising it and taking a night with the Sun Moon and Star Spiritual Centre in late March early April to invite anyone who is interested to come along to maybe start the group up again. I have created a format that I think will work and will carry on advanced learning of the cards and also cover the basics for those who are new.

Nicole brought along a few of her decks, one of them being the Morgan-Greer Tarot. It was like I was seeing this deck for the first time, it came alive. All of the colours are bright and vibrant and they have the "age of Aquarius" feel to them. Nicole and I worked with this deck, using intuitive and deck meanings and got so much out of it.

Here is a picture of my healing-reading room, I love this space my corner of the Earth and I hope that it gets much more use soon.

Occult Master And The Mary El Tarot

"Nine of Disks" by Marie White

"I am the Sun and the Moon, Night and Day,

Light and Dark, Evil and Good.

All are within me. I am Abraxas.

I am God and Diabolus - The Creator, and... The Destroyer.

He who brings an end to cherished wishes and the works of man.

And yet he who inspires genius with that inner daemon,

Who gives birth to all great hopes, I am Sol and Luna conjoined

The Male and the Female - Androgyne.

The Secret of the Alchemists fulfilled - The Great Elixir...

Elusive yet within all. The Paradox. The Polarities in union

The rays of my sun burneth those who approach - An exquisite pain.

For ye who seek wisdom and truth and folly

and are yet in earnest, Can resist not my allurements,

For I am the secret the Magicians seek."

KB ~ "Circlecaster", Autumn 1997

In case you didn't notice, I'm in love with the Mary-El Tarot, a yet unpublished tarot deck by artist Marie White. Each card of both the minor and major arcanas is a fully detailed painting, it has taken her over a decade and she is only one card away from completion. I drool at the thought of it's release and having this deck in my hot little hands! Her paintings of the Horned God are to die for
