A Complete Guide To The Tarot – Eden Gray

A golden fish is suspended from a chain around his neck. He represents balance and peace, arts and science. This card should be chosen for a man with light-brown hair and hazel eyes. Divinatory Meaning: This man is skilled in both law and trade. He may be connected with either a church or a worldly institution. He is kind and considerate and willing to take responsibility.

If such a man is not indicated, then look for traits of liberality, generosity, consideration, creative intelligence, and interest in arts and religion. Reversed: A powerful man, but likely to be crafty and violent. A fierce nature under a calm exterior. Double dealing. Beware of being robbed of either virtue or money. 1kitap1.com/en The Swords 1kitap1.com/en A two-edged sword is held by a hand that emerges from the clouds.

Its point is encircled by a crown of victory. An olive branch (mercy) and a palm branch (severity) hang from it. Around the sword are six Hebrew Yods, recalling the six days of the Mosaic creation. The card symbolizes Justice, which maintains the world order, the equilibrium of mercy and severity. Divinatory Meaning: Conquest, triumph of power, great activity. The power to love strongly or to hate. Possible birth of a child who will be of heroic temperament.

Championship. Reversed: Conquest, but the results are disastrous. Obstacles, great loss, infertility. A seated woman balances two swords on her shoulders. The old cartomancers described her as “hoodwinked”—we would say “blindfolded.” Perhaps she is blind to her situation. Behind her the sea contains rocks to trap the unwary. A new moon shines down upon her. Divinatory Meaning: Tension in relationships. Indecision. Balanced forces. Military friendships. A well-developed sense of balance and rhythm but needing direction. Stalemate. Reversed: Release, movement of affairs, sometimes in the wrong direction.

Avoid impostors. Sympathy for those in trouble. Disloyalty. A heart pierced by three swords is seen against a stormy sky. Divinatory Meaning: Stormy weather for the affections. Tears, separation, quarreling. A general upheaval of the environment. Possibility of civil war. Political strife. Reversed: There is still confusion, loss, sorrow, upheaval, but in lesser degree. In a church with a stained-glass window, the effigy of a knight lies full length upon his tomb.

His hands are clasped together in prayer. Divinatory Meaning: Hermit’s repose. Rest after war. Banishment. Relaxation of anxiety, release from suffering. There will soon be a change for the better. Not a card of death. Reversed: Renewed activity; qualified success. Movement in one’s affairs; social unrest. A caution to be wise, circumspect, and economical.

The origins of the Tarot are so veiled in the mists of time that it is only natural for myths and legends to surround it. Superstition, flights of fancy, and speculation have added their own patterns to the rich and colorful tapestry of Tarot lore and have only deepened its aura of magic and mystery. Cults have grown up around one or another historical theory, and sometimes their adherents have become fanatical in proclaiming the one and only “truth.”

But the better-informed investigators retain a certain amount of flexibility—even skepticism— and make no ironclad assertions. The truest claim we can make is that the Tarot is a symbolic record of human experience. Through deeply rooted mystic powers, the cards accomplish miracles of psychological insight, wise counsel and accurate divination. 1kitap1.com/en Other Bantam Books of related interest Ask your bookseller for the books you have missed THE COMPLETE BOOK OF PALMISTRY by Joyce Wilson SOULMATES by Jess Stearn 1kitap1.com/en 1kitap1.com/en A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE TAROT A Bantam Book / published by arrangement with Crown Publishers, Inc.
