Concerning The More Certain Fundamentals Of Astrology

Book: Concerning The More Certain Fundamentals Of Astrology by Johannes Kepler

In those booklets some things will be said which time will prove, but many things will be refuted by time and Experience as vain and worthless; as is customary with the people, the latter will be committed to the winds, and the former, entirely to memory.

It is generally considered the duty of mathematicians to write annual Prognostics. Since, therefore, I have resolved to afford satisfaction for the approaching year 1602 from the birth of Christ our Savior in limiting the prognostics not so much to the curiosity of the public as to the duty of a philosopher, I will begin rather with That Which can be predicted most safely; a rich crop of prognostics for this year is forthcoming, as the number of Authors is increasing daily, owing to the growing curiosity of the people.

Tarot Tools And Tips

What does the future hold for you?

The better question is, what does the present hold? How can you improve your life as it stands now? How can you help family and friends to do the same? Below are some tools and tips that I have found help me very much.

I have been succesful doing readings for people Without them being present. I have done accurate readings for people when they live thousands of miles away. Don't let this issue concern you.

All you need is a clear mind and an open passage to the Divine.

I know when the Divine is with me and when she is supporting my reading. It's a feeling, a warmth...almost an Electric surge. If you've felt it before then you know what I mean.

Reading for someone else is not to be taken lightly. The changes that you may cause in the person may change their future.

I always ask the person if it's okay. I then go about asking the Goddess to show me only what the person needs to know.

Candles and incense are great. They help you relax and "get you in the mood". I set up three candles (color is up to you) and place them in a triangle formation. I then place my deck(s) in the center.

Then I go smoke a ciggarette. :) If you have a more healthy way of relaxing then by all means do so.

I leave the cards alone for a moment so they can be charged with the energy of the center.

I find it best to use more than one deck. Right now, I'm using the Fairy Oracle and the Animal Wise Tarot.

Using the Fairies I do a three card layout. Shuffling the cards until I feel the urge to stop, then laying three cards down, side by side. This represents the past present and future.

Keep in mind, my future card always represents the next step to take in the person's growth and not what will happen in the future.

If the person is not present, I write everything down as it comes to me. This is helpful because the Divine may guide you to greater insight than the cards themselves do.

I then move on to the Animal Wise Tarot. I ask which animal best represents the person in their current situation.

By using this method, you can coach the querrent as to how they can improve themselves by taking on the aspects of that particular card.

This can be done with any Tarot Deck, one or more.
Runes can also be incorporated into this setup.

Lastly, be sure that you and/or the querrent understands fully what the Reading meant, before putting the cards away.

Happy Reading!!! :D

Name: FEOH FEHU FAIHU
Letter (sound): F (Face)
Meaning: Cattle
Colour: Green
Number: 1
Dates: July 20 - August 4
Season: Fire
Direction: SouthWest

The shape of the rune is like the horned head of a cow. Since cattle are
movable possesions and were used to pay debts the early meaning was submerged
by the concept of wealth. It is associated with the concept of possessions and
honour. Great wealth enabled a man to make rich presents which won him much
reknown. The abstraction of wealth includes moral resolve and the gift of
foresight among its meanings.

In the Hebrew alphabet the first letter is Aleph, meaning ox. This indicates
that cattle were still the primary indicator of wealth and power at the time
the Hebrew script was developed.

The beast of burden and, by association, the qualities that characterize
cattle. That Which is domestic and mild. Of a broken spirit. Slavish,
stupid, slow. To be used and owned by a freeman. Cowardly. Movable
possessions. Wealth. Money. Servility. Bondage. Prosperity. Material
possessions. To cast lots.

Use: To get help.

Spell: Wealth is a comfort to one and all,
but he must share it who hopes to cast
his lot for Judgement before the lord.

Charm: I know those lays
Which no ruler's wife knows,
Nor any man's son.
Help one is called,
And it will help you
Against sorrows and trials
And every grief there is.

FEOH is a midieval agrarian Community with a squalid village of about two
dozen huts outside the walls of a castle. Everything has a dismal, soiled look
and the people walk with their heads bowed.

The spirit of FEOH is the overseer, a great bulk of a man with a bellowing
voice and a whip. He is filthy, his black hair matted, his eyes blinking with
stupidity.


In the beginning was the great ox, Adumla
From her blood, the fruits of the earth
From her hide, the roof of the sky
From her bones, the mountains
From her milk, the sea
When she lowed, the sorrow in her voice
Shook the world like a vast, hollow bell
For she was naked, and alone
The fire ran to her, and danced in her womb
from her mouth issued a thundering river of voices
That shook the floor of ice and shattered it
Thus came the primal Spring

The Complete Book Of Tarot Reversals

Book: The Complete Book Of Tarot Reversals by Mary Greer

Mary Greer pioneered the psychological, experiential methods of reading tarot that have now become the norm. Her earlier books, especially Tarot for Your Self, are full of exercises to help beginning readers develop a personal relationship with their cards. I thus expected Tarot Reversals to follow this same pattern...a sort of workbook for getting comfortable interpreting reversed cards.

How do you read reversed tarot cards, the ones that appear upside down in a spread? In The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals, author Mary K. Greer addresses this commonly ignored or misunderstood situation. The most common wisdom about reversed cards is that they indicate resistance or problem areas. In fact, some readers simply abort a reading if too many cards show up as reversals, assuming that the person is too unreceptive, depressed, or dishonest to work with the reading. "Receiving too many reversals can make you feel like you have been dealt a 'losing hand,'" writes Greer, "but hopefully, this book will help turn that around." In fact, Greer claims that reversals offer a portal to the more mystical and esoteric influences in our lives. They "provide an opportunity to reach below logic and lead us into the realm of potentials and underlying causes where everything is connected and Magic happens." Greer (Tarot for Your Self), a seasoned reader and tarot teacher, suggests 12 possible reasons for a reversal. For instance, it could indicate a blocked or resistant situation or it could be due to the questioner getting ready to break through the condition pictured. Greer then offers Interpretations of all 78 tarot cards (both reversed and upright), while giving more lengthy coverage to the fascinating twist of reversals.

Although there are some very valuable exercises in this book, nearly 70% of it is devoted to card-by-card interpretation, typically a page or so describing the upright meanings of the card, then a somewhat lengthier description of the reversed meanings. These descriptions are an incredible resource for any tarot reader, especially if you use reversals in your readings. There is nothing even remotely comparable anywhere else. (Other tarot books explain the meaning of the upright card, but limit reversed meanings to a few keywords.) Besides the welcome in-depth look at reversed meanings, these card interpretations are just plain good, reflecting Greer's decades of experience as a tarot reader and teacher. A welcome inclusion is shamanic/magical meanings for each card, and healing/disease implications as well. This section of the book holds its own against any of the card-by-card interpretation guides on the market today. Although this book is part of Llewellyn's series on "advanced topics in tarot", a complete beginner could learn how to interpret cards very well by using this book.

The remainder of the book consists of general advice on using and interpreting reversals. Greer goes far beyond "reversals as opposites", describing twelve different senses a reversed card can have. The book includes a lengthy listing of words that can be used to modify the upright meanings of the cards. This is very useful, especially if your own deck is a little too far removed from conventional meanings to make use of the card-by-card descriptions.

There are a number of excursions into various tarot topics, such as elemental dignities, and some really interesting spreads. I could hardly read a page in this book without coming on something new I wanted to try out.

Although this book is not intended to be a substitute for a basic tarot book, it could probably be used as such without much difficulty. And as a resource for working with reversed cards, it is unique and indispensible.

Divination For You

This seems like a fairly good time of year to be talking about divination. What
is it, why do we do it, and what's in it for us? Lots of people think it's a
way of avoiding responsibility - if the future is preordained, we might as well
go back to bed.

Of course, that's not it at all. Divination is the use of any one of several
methods to obtain Information which is not directly accessible to the conscious
mind of the person asking the question. Whether you use cards, crystals, a
pendulum, ink, lead, dice, the flight of birds or anything else, what you are
really doing is opening your end of a channel to higher wisdom. I consider the
"actual" source of that wisdom irrelevant and immaterial; it could be one's own
subconscious, the collective unconscious, the Gods' will, telepathic insight, or
a big computer buried in the Balkans. It's still additional information which
is not as tainted by ego and intellect's limitations as most.

So what do we do with it? The same things we do with any other information; add
it to what we already know and develop a synthesis that can help us do our
decision-making. The easiest way to analyze the process is with a concrete
(well, maybe jello) example:

A young man has been between Relationships for some time. He wants very much to
link up with the great love of his life, but is not aware of anyone on the
horizon. He is putting himself in a position to meet new people, presenting
himself as attractively as he can, and generally taking care of business, but no
results. He has to decide whether to take a work-related course at night or
not. It will take a lot of time and there are not likely to be any women
attending. His progressed horoscope is neutral. He gets his cards read. They
say:

[PAUSE]

1. Nothing at all about love, but a lot about skilled craftsmanship and
satisfaction through work. He decides to relax and wait for a better time,
takes the course, and is rewarded with a modest promotion which enhances his
satisfaction with his job.

2. A lot about increasing social activities, leading to the start of a new
romance, leading to great happiness and satisfaction after some difficulties are
resolved. He does not take the course, and meets a really nice interesting lady
at a party given by a friend (which he couldn't have attended had he taken the
course).

3. That he is overlooking sources of emotional gratification in his current
situation. Given the information, he starts looking around and discovers that
one of his quieter friends is a really thoughtful and insightful person who
helps him learn to know himself better, and that a young cousin needs a mentor
and this Relationship gives him a lot of pleasure and fulfillment. He begins
to feel much more ready for a good
relationship, and much less impatient to have one start.

These examples illustrate the point made above; divination provides you with
choices, and you take the consequences, no matter what the oracles say. Treat
them with respect, not adoration or blind compliance, and may they always show
you the truth.

The Symbolism Of The Tarot

Book: The Symbolism Of The Tarot by Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii

Born in 1878, Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii in Moscow, Russia, Ouspensky was to become one of the most influential philosophers of his day. Somewhere along the way, he developed an interest in the Tarot, as have many philosophers down through the centuries, and wrote this book of Tarot Meditations. As are all of the books in this series, The Symbolism of the Tarot has become an old classic and is often quoted in books on Tarot and the occult (hidden) down to the present day. I have faithfully copied this book in its original content.

You will see many words spelled in turn of the 20th century English spellings, and a few out-and-out misspellings. In the interest of giving you the book in its original content, I’ve made no attempt to edit it in any way. This is the way it was written and this is the way I’m giving it to you.

WHAT IS THE TAROT?

“No study of occult philosophy is possible without an acquaintance with symbolism, for if the words occultism and symbolism are correctly used, they mean almost one and the same thing. Symbolism cannot be learned as one learns to build bridges or speak a foreign language, and for the interpretation of symbols a special cast of mind is necessary; in addition to knowledge, special faculties, the power of creative thought and a developed imagination are required. One who understands the use of symbolism in the arts, knows, in a general way, what is meant by occult symbolism. But even then a special training of the mind is necessary, in order to comprehend the "language of the Initiates", and to express in this language the intuitions as they arise.” P. D. Ouspensky

The entire basis of Tarot is in its symbols and how they interact with the mind. This book is how they interacted with the mind of P. D. Ouspensky! It will make an invaluable addition to your Tarot-study collection !

Cleaning Your Scrying Mirror

Make an infusion tea of mugwort. Do not boil the herb. Instead, in a non-metal
container, bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat and add the dried or
fresh herb. Stir, cover with a lid and steep for at least 30 minutes, stirring
the infusion several times. Strain, then use or store in a glass container with
a lid, in the refrigerator. This is an excellent wash for cleansing magick
mirrors, Crystals and crystal balls. Witches choose the Full Moon as the time to
consecrate a magick mirror because moonlight has the effect of changing it with
power then not in use. Wrap your mirror in a black velvet or silk cloth and keep
it in a special box, away from the light.
