1:30

We thought this would be a perfect

time. to have a discussion

1:34

about tarot and the holidays. And I

know that that might seem a

1:38

little stretch to you, but bear with

sitting around a Victorian fire. And

1:47

here we go. Ready,

1:49

Samantha? I'm ready. Okay.

1:52

So Let's set the stage

1:54

for this discussion about Tarot

1:56

and the New Year. by

1:58

back to the Victorian

2:01

in England. maybe even

2:03

a bit earlier. Imagine that you're

2:05

in a parlor with

2:07

three young women seated before

2:09

a blazing fire. snow falls snow

2:11

falls steadily in the

2:13

dark sky outside. sorts

2:16

was all the rage of many

2:18

sorts was all the rage during

2:20

the Victorian in particularly in winter. it

2:22

was the it was the darkness,

2:24

the darkest time of the year that

2:26

called forth practice of telling ghost

2:28

stories and engaging in

2:30

divination during the winter solstice,

2:32

Christmas and New Year's

2:34

holidays. and New Year's holidays. it

2:37

was the weather. was the cold rain

2:39

and snow snow that forced families

2:41

to huddle together before the

2:43

fire. before the shapes rise

2:45

in the flames. Perhaps it was

2:47

was boredom. those people those

2:49

people gathered for for the holiday

2:51

nothing left to talk about. Perhaps

2:54

it was was hopefulness about

2:56

good fortune in the new the new

2:58

year. Perhaps was all

3:00

of these these one more factor. that

3:03

that caused a rise in the

3:05

practice of telling ghost stories ghost

3:07

engaging in divination during the

3:09

winter holidays in the Victorian the winter

3:11

holidays in Dickens era.

3:14

Christmas Dickens published

3:16

A Christmas Carol on

3:18

December 19th 1843. And with

3:20

that with that, the best of of

3:22

its day. a tradition

3:24

of focusing on the occult during

3:27

the winter holidays. was the

3:29

rage in affluent households

3:31

in Britain. Not only were

3:33

ghost only were ghost stories told.

3:35

many ways many ways of

3:37

divining the future were

3:39

practiced. particularly by young by young

3:41

women seeking love and Now I'm not

3:43

sure Now, I'm not sure

3:45

that the the leading donation tool

3:47

among the British wealthy in

3:49

the Victorian era, but Thoreau

3:51

certainly was gaining popularity in

3:54

more esoteric circles at that

3:56

time. at that time. I

3:58

can attest that that today. Tarot

4:00

is certainly a divination

4:02

tool used by many the

4:04

world over as the

4:06

season shifts towards solstice and

4:08

the calendar heralds a

4:10

new year on January 1st.

4:13

So let's take a deep dive

4:15

into what Tarot may offer these

4:17

three women. We're going to focus

4:20

on three cards, which by the

4:22

way are really often more rightly

4:24

called keys that might have been

4:26

of interest to Victorian era folks

4:28

gathered around the hearth on a

4:30

cold winter's night. And let's take

4:32

a deep dive into the symbolism

4:35

of these cards. Samantha, you want

4:37

to share with us what Carl

4:39

Jung had to say about that.

4:41

Yeah, he really looked a lot

4:43

into the symbolism on the Tarot

4:45

cards. And a lot of people

4:47

believe he derived some of his

4:50

ideas for the universal archetypes from

4:52

the Tarot cards. He believed the

4:54

symbols on the cards presented a

4:56

rhythm of negative and positive loss

4:58

and gain, dark and light. It's

5:00

beginning, he said, is characterized by

5:02

ones getting stuck in a blind

5:05

alley or in some impossible situation.

5:07

And its goal, broadly speaking, is

5:09

illumination or higher consciousness. This symbolic

5:11

process of illumination in the Tarot,

5:13

of course, begins with the fool.

5:15

Wait describes the fool as the

5:17

spirit in search of experience, who's

5:20

in the impossible situation of being

5:22

just about to plunge off a

5:24

cliff or take a beautiful leap

5:26

of faith. And it ends with

5:28

the world, which Wait described as

5:30

the perfection and the end of

5:32

the cosmos, the secret within it,

5:35

the rapture of the universe when

5:37

it understands itself. Where do you

5:39

fall in the trajectory of this

5:41

journey at this stage of your

5:43

life? I think that's always an

5:45

interesting question to think about. know

5:47

how, Deb, when you teach Tarot,

5:50

you always tell your students to

5:52

lay out the major arcana and

5:54

look at it as a journey

5:56

through your life, you starting out

5:58

as the fool, whether. you know, sees that

6:00

as that as an impossible situation,

6:02

about to fall off a cliff. see

6:05

I always see the of full

6:07

of wonder and hope and optimism,

6:09

and of course, it ends with

6:11

the world of fulfillment. I think

6:13

it's a good thing to kind of

6:15

ponder as we wrap up the year, where

6:17

do you fall on that journey from

6:19

the journey from the world? the world? Absolutely,

6:21

and the folks who have

6:24

been enrolled in in the Fool's journey course,

6:26

the Calling course, have been

6:28

taught that. Exactly what you're

6:30

saying is that are the we

6:32

are the fool. are on that life's

6:34

journey and we travel and forward we

6:36

learn and we grow. we We

6:38

have setbacks. I mean, it... I mean,

6:51

what one needs to learn in a

6:53

6:55

a question for you. you.

6:57

I read when I was

7:00

doing just an overview of

7:02

some notes for today's show show

7:04

that weight and Pamela had a

7:06

disagreement about where to place

7:08

the the fool card. Oh, there were

7:10

there were lots of disagreements, not

7:12

only between only and Pamela, but

7:14

between between other as well as

7:16

placements of several cards. The

7:19

fool is certainly one. is Another

7:21

is the strength key. strength key where

7:23

that I'm I'm getting totally off a

7:25

minute, but a story. key

7:27

is key key is key eight, but there

7:29

was some discussion that it should

7:31

be switched with with key 11, which is

7:33

the justice key. key. And that that controversy

7:35

between those two keys keys. on

7:37

and on and on for a

7:39

long time before it was finally

7:42

settled. in the the deck deck

7:44

would be would be justice would

7:46

be which which makes sense

7:48

11 11 is also that's about

7:50

that's about balance and

7:52

fairness and all those. numerological

7:55

components connected. to

7:57

that. And that that key the

8:00

justice Key, lady justice is there

8:02

with a sword in one hand. the

8:04

of justice and the scales of

8:06

balance and justice in the

8:08

other. Yeah, that debate always made

8:10

sense to me, but the the full debate

8:12

between those two I think it was

8:14

about not so much placing the fool at

8:16

the beginning. I think it was more

8:18

about the numerology. Should it be the zero

8:20

card or the one card? Oh,

8:23

okay, well, that is indeed

8:25

a controversy as well. The

8:28

transcends numerology, which I think was

8:30

what went out in the end.

8:32

and obvious way. Yeah, and I

8:34

agree with that 100%. Me

8:36

too. Okay, so let's move on.

8:38

Okay. so let's let's get back to our

8:41

Victorian part So,

8:43

perhaps you and these young

8:45

women. are wondering about

8:47

love or money, health,

8:49

careers, and since young women

8:51

back in our Victorian

8:53

wintry story practiced divination for

8:55

questions regarding love and

8:57

marriage, let's start with. the burning

8:59

question one of these women has. Will

9:02

I be loved and married? You,

9:06

the reader. shuffle the deck

9:08

and the lover's key appears. Let's

9:10

discuss that key as we might

9:13

view it in today's world. At

9:16

first glance, this key, and we're working

9:19

here as we're talking, by the

9:21

way, out of the traditional. weight rider

9:23

Smith deck. So

9:25

at first glance the lover's

9:27

key is very straightforward. There's

9:30

a man and a woman standing

9:32

naked before two very different trees. in

9:35

what we might take to be the Garden of

9:37

Eden. The man stands

9:39

before a tree whose 12

9:41

leaves are flames, not leaves,

9:43

but flames, representing the 12

9:45

signs of the zodiac. The

9:48

woman stands before the tree of

9:50

knowledge of good and evil.

9:52

its bowels laden fruit. and

9:54

a serpent slithering down its trunk.

9:57

Above them is Archangel Raphael.

10:00

the angel of healing. You

10:02

might consider that this key

10:04

is both validation, that a

10:06

relationship is in the offing,

10:09

and a cautionary tale to

10:11

be careful in the blissfulness

10:13

of the garden. But wait,

10:15

when studying to robe, there

10:18

is always more, always a

10:20

deeper meaning. And that's what

10:22

makes to robe such an

10:25

amazingly rich divination tool. The

10:27

lover's key not only represents

10:29

represents male and female energy

10:31

now we'll come back and

10:34

talk a lot more about

10:36

that in a minute, but

10:38

it represents the notion of

10:41

polar energies, often seen as

10:43

a key of romantic relationships.

10:45

This key also sometimes is

10:47

said to depict humanity's fall

10:50

from grace. However, the symbolic

10:52

connection between the snake and

10:54

the feminine is far older

10:57

than its connection to Judaism

10:59

in the garden of good

11:01

of Eden. The relationship harkens

11:03

back to a time when

11:06

the snake was sacred to

11:08

the goddess in matriarchal goddess

11:10

worshiping societies, many of which

11:13

were there in that Mesopotamian

11:15

area of the globe. So

11:17

the snake represents a transmutation

11:19

of being rather than representing

11:22

evil. The snake represents our

11:24

ability to shed what no

11:26

longer serves us. and our

11:29

ability to transform ourselves and

11:31

learn and grow and become

11:33

new. Another aspect of this

11:35

card is the notion of

11:38

an internal balance of self,

11:40

of energies, a continuum of

11:42

positive emotions towards oneself and

11:44

the whole universe. So rather

11:47

than thinking in polarities of

11:49

masculine feminine, think in terms

11:51

of a continuum. This

11:54

is indicated by the willingness of

11:56

the figures to be exposed physically

11:58

connection to their

12:00

astrology. and to to

12:03

the concept of the knowledge of good and

12:05

evil. and evil. Yeah, the Yeah, the card

12:07

card asks us to look

12:09

at the union of not only

12:11

two people, but also two

12:13

aspects of ourselves, is which

12:15

is why this card is

12:17

often about choices. aspect The male

12:19

aspect represents our intellect, reason,

12:21

and conscious choices, while the

12:23

female symbolizes our connection to

12:26

our intuition and subconscious desires.

12:28

desires. The lovers card reminds us

12:30

of the the of love and that

12:32

as long as we focus on

12:34

love in all its forms and

12:36

guises, We we will ultimately make the

12:38

right choice. And I think And I

12:40

think that's true. think the lovers card invites

12:42

us to look at love in so

12:44

many different ways. And it gives

12:46

us a view of us a view of those

12:49

symbols that are often available to us

12:51

to see a glimpse us to see a

12:53

of us. of of all of coined

12:55

the term the term animus

12:59

13:02

13:04

that he believes relates to all of us. us.

13:06

Young says that each of us of

13:08

us. within us within us qualities of

13:10

the other gender. of course, I

13:12

of course, I invite you to... think of those

13:14

qualities as a part of all of

13:16

us on a continuum rather than rather

13:19

than polar opposites. When we

13:21

find the balance of male

13:23

and female energy within ourselves. ourselves,

13:25

we we find Ole Miss. according

14:16

forget the angel. Okay, Angel Raffiel covers

14:18

the figures in the

14:21

clouds. in the clouds. Rafael

14:23

is the angel of angel of air, whose

14:25

is poured down on us

14:27

all. us all. In the

14:30

Judeo -Christian tradition, Raphael is

14:32

the Archangel of the archangel of

14:34

it be that? it be that when we

14:36

find a balance of energies

14:38

in ourselves. in that we

14:40

honor our connection to

14:42

the cosmos to the spinning cycles.

14:44

spinning and give ourselves permission

14:47

to transmute our very

14:49

being our nothing new. into

14:51

We are new? We are indeed

14:53

healed. Note that the man is the

14:55

she looks at the the angel, and

as we're important to look at as we're looking

15:20

at this that is that that is at a mountain. rises

15:23

between the figures in the

15:25

background. And it And it

15:27

has several possible meanings. The

15:29

The most common that the mountain

15:31

fruitfulness. In

15:33

my research, I've come to believe

15:35

that the mountain represents obstacles that

15:37

the couple has put aside for

15:39

now, but may need to face

15:41

later. may need to face later. Who

15:44

among us has not had cycles

15:46

in relationships. we've needed

15:48

to face. Let's look at

15:50

the colors in the colors That

15:52

bright too. That electric blue sky

15:54

blue so much joy on

15:56

the key. key. Raphael's red wings and

15:58

the flaming leaves of his

16:01

crown, the red fruit and the

16:03

flaming leaves on the trees, and

16:05

the red slash orange of the

16:08

mountains indicate passion and action. Lots

16:10

of red on this card. The

16:12

green on Raphael's crown on the

16:15

tree behind the woman on the

16:17

snake and on the graphs indicate

16:19

growth and change. And the gray

16:21

of Raphael's gown and the clouds

16:24

beneath him. indicate that there will

16:26

always be the unknown that we

16:28

may never know. The lover's key

16:31

is the sixth key in the

16:33

major Arcana, a number associated with

16:35

home, relationships, healing, and harmony. What

16:38

better number could the lover's key

16:40

be than sick? You want to

16:42

add to that, Samantha? I do.

16:45

Can you hear the noise behind

16:47

me? No, I can't. Oh, thank

16:49

God. Okay. Yeah. So the lovers

16:52

card asks us to focus on

16:54

the choices we're making for ourselves.

16:56

Do our choices reflect our true

16:59

desires that arise from our intuition

17:01

and subconscious? Or are we making

17:03

choices rooted in other people's expectations

17:05

of us or fear of being

17:08

alone and hurt? The lovers card

17:10

reminds us that the transformative power

17:12

of love will always lead us

17:15

in the right direction if we

17:17

first start with loving and healing

17:19

ourselves. That is so true. And

17:22

again, one of the things that

17:24

I think is so incredibly wonderful

17:26

about to robe is that the

17:29

layers of information and learning really

17:31

never stop and it's so much

17:33

fun. So while we've put a

17:36

lot of information out there about

17:38

this particular card to you, what

17:40

we've suggested here. is that you

17:43

need to have all of this

17:45

stored in your memory when you're

17:47

doing a reading and you can

17:49

pull it all up in an

17:52

instant. Now I know that sounds

17:54

daunting but it's really not because

17:56

you certainly don't have to in

17:59

a reading. share all all of

18:01

this information and details and

18:03

symbology with the person for whom

18:05

you're reading. Sometimes whom you're - you're all

18:07

of this. the and sometimes not. to

18:10

21:32

card you pulled you pulled for our

21:34

reading? The three of Pentacles. So now

21:37

we're in the minor archonis in

21:39

the suit of pentacles. of Pentacles. And

21:41

another question. that burns on the

21:43

lips of our Victorian friends

21:45

seated around the heart is a

21:47

question of money a stability. of money

21:50

Will I be wealthy? Will I least

21:52

wealthy they ask. comfortable

21:54

they ask? close your eyes. close

21:56

your eyes. Ask for guidance. the

21:58

deck. the deck. and randomly

22:01

pull the the three of pentacles. I

22:03

love this card. It's one of my favorite cards in the deck. cards

22:05

in the deck. The three of monk

22:07

and a nun a monk

22:10

and a nun watching a stone mation finish

22:12

work on a work on a

22:14

medieval cathedral archway, which

22:16

is topped by three pentacles.

22:18

Much in this key this key is

22:20

about numerology needs needs to be

22:22

considered in your answer. And we'll address

22:25

numerology in a moment. moment. And could

22:27

I go off on a

22:29

tangent about watching the beautiful opening

22:31

of Notre Dame? of Notre

22:33

talk about talk about Pentacles

22:35

as a suit is the suit of

22:37

of of stability. of

22:39

stability, of security, and is

22:41

sometimes called the the of coins.

22:44

So it is the suit

22:46

of our relationship to money and

22:48

finances. finances. Keep in mind that

22:50

the cost of building the great

22:52

cathedrals was, and course still is,

22:54

tremendous. Just look

22:56

at what has gone into

22:58

the amount of money to reconstruct Notre

23:01

Dame. But course, there's more more than

23:03

meet the eye. the eye. So So

23:05

much of the building of the

23:07

great cathedrals in the Middle Ages Middle

23:09

based on sacred geometry. Oh,

23:12

I cannot urge you enough to to

23:14

read Ken an amazing book, The Pillars

23:16

of the Earth. of the Earth. My all

23:18

-time favorite. Is it Is it really

23:20

really is. I've read it three

23:22

or four times. times. I love that

23:24

23:33

23:35

I digress, go ahead. Go all right. Okay, all right.

23:37

read Ken Follett's book, book, The Pillars of

23:39

the Earth. the Earth. Okay, the three

23:41

of of pentacles is one

23:44

of of Tros keys about sacred

23:46

geometry. geometry. Three is is the

23:48

number of balance and completion, so

23:50

it is no accident that the key

23:52

is about building a cathedral a its

23:54

number is three. is three. Notice

23:56

the pentacles themselves. themselves. Remember

23:59

the word. Enter is from the Greek, the

24:01

24:03

24:19

note is that these is that their

24:21

five sides. with their adds up

24:23

to the number up to the number 15,

24:26

when reduced, is is six. And

24:28

we're back to six, the number

24:30

of relationships and and home and stability.

24:33

So, Samantha, you have a

24:35

you have a perspective on three

24:37

the three of Pentacles means in a reading.

24:39

Tell us your thoughts on that. that. Yeah, to

24:41

me, to me, this card always

24:43

represents success coming from teamwork, collaboration,

24:45

a and a group working together.

24:47

see the three I always see the as

24:49

a as a card of encouragement,

24:51

gently prodding you to go

24:53

after your dream. often It often comes

24:55

up if like about starting

24:58

a side business or an entrepreneurship

25:00

thing, or they're wondering if they can

25:02

make money from their writing or

25:04

their art or their music. their music. I

25:06

I always see the man and the woman

25:08

as benefactors, kind of encouraging the

25:10

creative person. person in the keep to

25:12

to keep building. keep building. is

25:15

also the number of reaching

25:17

out to others. know, numerology.

25:20

The number three is the card

25:22

of communication, connection, and creativity. So So

25:24

this card indicates a need to

25:26

enlist help and getting your goal

25:28

off to a good start. You

25:30

might have to team up, collab,

25:32

network. The three The three of Pentacles

25:34

also points to a need to

25:36

start to carefully plan the steps needed

25:38

to accomplish your goal. This card assures you

25:40

you that you got the right

25:42

idea, and now and now it's time to

25:44

start implementing steps needed to make this

25:46

goal or dream become a reality. a

25:48

reality. It can also signify that you've

25:50

had an had moment or will have

25:52

an inspirational idea idea are finally ready

25:54

to take action on it. it. So So

25:56

for me, key words for this card

25:58

are apprentice, student, mentor. tour, group efforts,

26:01

all that good stuff. And

26:03

while I don't disagree with

26:05

you, I would also invite

26:07

folks to think of three

26:09

in terms of a trinity,

26:12

a trilogy, again within oneself.

26:15

Mother, Maiden, Crone, Father, Son, Holy

26:17

Ghost, Mind, Body, Spirit, those

26:19

are other aspects of the number

26:21

three that I think are

26:23

important. And while I see your

26:25

point here about being an

26:28

apprentice or perhaps working your way

26:30

in connection with other people

26:32

to a goal, I also see

26:34

it as you already carry

26:36

within you the qualities you need

26:38

to achieve that goal as

26:40

long as you stay yourself within

26:42

balance and connected to the

26:44

sacredness of the work you're doing

26:46

here on earth. No, I

26:48

totally agree with that. I have

26:50

a funny story to tell

26:52

about the number three in my

26:54

Rock Your Numbers report. I

26:57

always try to give a little

26:59

background on what the numbers

27:01

mean in your birthdate. And Pythagoras

27:03

always said that the number

27:05

three was a number of creativity

27:07

because he said the number

27:09

one marries the number two and

27:11

together they create the number

27:13

three. And so that's why it's

27:15

representative of the Empress Keycard,

27:17

for example, is the number three

27:19

keycard because it's all about

27:21

fruitfulness and fertility and creativity. And

27:23

so I had put all

27:26

of that in one woman's report

27:28

and she emailed me back

27:30

and she said, everything in the

27:32

report made sense except I'm

27:34

too old to get married. So

27:36

I don't know how the

27:38

number three applies to me. Oh

27:40

boy. I was

27:42

like, no, no, no, the numbers

27:44

are marrying each other and that really

27:46

confused her. So just more symbology. Absolutely.

27:49

And I know that

27:52

the symbology seems daunting. But

27:54

one of the things

27:56

that my students enjoy, but

27:58

really... sometimes struggle with is

28:00

do I take these symbols

28:03

and turn them into

28:05

real life. real life? And my And

28:07

my question always is exactly the

28:09

opposite. Real life is full of symbols.

28:12

is full of symbols. It's around us

28:14

and when we can start

28:16

thinking terms of of

28:18

and really learning

28:20

learning connection among different world

28:22

cultures, which is, I think, truly

28:24

the ultimate gift of the It really

28:27

does bring us together in so

28:29

many ways. us I think so you

28:31

begin to see the world

28:33

in a different and deeper way

28:35

and I love that I love that

28:37

in of working with with tarot

28:39

talk more about that as we wrap

28:41

up, but let's finish up here

28:43

with finish up here with the free of tentacles.

28:45

So, after we've done all done all this talking,

28:48

our Victorian want to know to know. Are

28:50

we going to get rich? Is there wealth

28:52

in our future? there wealth in our future?

28:54

Yes, says must work for. must

28:56

work to develop that creative

28:58

spark with in you. your

29:01

trade, own your skill, trade,

29:03

and work your artistry

29:05

and craft well and honorably.

29:07

and this is such a

29:09

key of this is such a key

29:11

of artistry, the work that

29:13

it takes to chisel

29:15

those pentacles into that stone,

29:17

that's amazing work. work. These are

29:20

true artists and it's a beautiful thing to see.

29:22

thing And we are all we in our own way.

29:24

in our own don't I don't don't really want

29:26

to hear that in a reading to I don't

29:28

want to hear a got to work for

29:30

your money I want to hear says work for your winning

29:32

the lottery to roll a card that says, When

29:35

you find that card, When you find

29:37

that would you also buy that

29:39

deck for me? me? I know. I

29:41

know, maybe, the nina cups, the I

29:43

of look I always look at

29:45

that one possible meeting of that

29:47

card as wishes fulfilled. fulfilled. But I

29:49

have to be honest, I think think every

29:51

card in the tarot has the same the

29:53

same message got, got girl you've

29:55

got work to do. Yeah, and that's okay,

29:57

that's okay because that's what we...

30:00

Yeah, exactly, Exactly. Well,

30:02

sometimes I just want want one card

30:04

to say sit back we got this

30:06

you have to do nothing to do nothing. Okay, you you

30:08

let me know when you get it, you

30:10

will, it. We'll just have to create it then.

30:12

to create it, Deb. But would it

30:14

be an honest it be an No,

30:16

no, you're right. No, no, you're right. I

30:18

know, that, I know there's that. on So

30:21

while we're on this subject of symbols. good

30:23

golly, let's let's talk about

30:25

some symbols. So the harkas fire is

30:27

beginning to die down. die down. And

30:29

And there's time for one more question.

30:32

question. the quietest of the

30:34

young women of the young women my

30:36

dream of being a writer as

30:38

famous as Mr. Dickens come

30:40

true? come true? You You

30:42

shuffle the deck. deck, say your prayer.

30:44

Always say your prayer. prayer, and pull

30:46

the seven of cups from the

30:48

from the deck. Ooh! Ooh, boy, do you do you

30:50

take a deep breath. Indeed, this is

30:53

the this is the key of many and

30:55

there are many in the deck, but this

30:57

is a a one. and what

30:59

dreams. The suit of cups of

31:01

cups is the suit of is the suit of

31:03

emotions. of introspection,

31:05

31:23

the picture on the card. on the A

31:25

man stands before before

31:27

seven cups. Each each containing a

31:29

lesson in life to be learned.

32:15

while symbols are deeply they are

32:17

also are also deeply personal.

32:20

For example, as the wonder

32:22

what I wonder what these

32:25

seven symbols, and even

32:27

the cups themselves, represent

32:29

personally to this young quarant. I I

32:31

would ask her. her answer would would

32:33

32:44

let's say say that the

querin explains that she desires

financial success popularity from her

32:51

published works. published works. Certainly

32:53

the castle jewels and and wreath of

32:55

victory indicate such success, but there

32:57

are also cautions to be

33:00

explored. be For example, For example,

33:02

she desires may come at a

33:12

she must not lose sight of the

33:14

good her writing can be to

33:16

the world the world, that she does have

33:18

have aid always from the from the angelic realm

33:20

she she got some thoughts some thoughts on

33:23

this card, Samantha too? I know you

33:25

do. you do. The Seven Pentacles has

33:27

always confused me, to be

33:29

honest with you, because you've got

33:31

so many choices. got It's telling

33:33

choices. It's end that she must

33:35

face her inner fears face her make

33:37

a choice based on facts, on

33:39

not what she wants the

33:41

facts to be. be. There's a

33:43

risk of of here, of seeing

33:45

what you want want than what

33:47

is. is. This This card can indicate

33:50

someone who tends to see either the

33:52

worst in a situation a the

33:54

best rather than the truth.

33:56

The man is man dressed in

33:58

black, which symbolizes someone... who tends

34:00

to focus on negative thought patterns and

34:02

blame projection, or someone who focuses too

34:05

much on helping and fixing others. He's

34:07

waiting for someone to tell him which

34:09

cup to take. But the message of

34:12

this card is that you have to

34:14

choose. You have to create the outcome

34:16

you desire with your own actions. See,

34:19

again, Deb, we've got to do the

34:21

work. That's right. Often this card appears

34:23

when you're looking for something or someone

34:25

so hard that you have a desire

34:28

to make something else fit and become

34:30

what you're truly seeking. This card can

34:32

point to someone who's chasing something, a

34:35

love, a job, a goal, so much

34:37

that they're trying to make anything fit.

34:39

The seven of cups asks you to

34:41

see the facts for what they really

34:44

are and to make the best choice

34:46

for new based on those facts. There

34:48

is a risk here of making the

34:51

wrong choice based on what the heart

34:53

wants, rather than what your soul is

34:55

guiding you towards, or on making the

34:58

wrong choice based on fear instead of

35:00

following your true path. This is a

35:02

card of seeing what you want, of

35:04

believing an illusion, yours or someone else's,

35:07

rather than the reality. The seven of

35:09

cups asks you to clear away these

35:11

illusions and trust yourself and allow your

35:14

soul to lead the way. Trust yourself

35:16

and the right choice will make itself

35:18

known. Sweep aside illusions and face the

35:21

35:23

the saying, the truth will set you

35:25

free. It asks you to see through

35:27

the facade of your own fantasies or

35:30

the false promises someone is presenting to

35:32

you to see what is really true,

35:34

what is truly real. Once you do,

35:37

you will see that the authentic truth

35:39

is so much more powerful than any

35:41

fantasy we can create. This is so

35:44

true true. And I know that this

35:46

is hard for people to hear because

35:48

I often describe it as the scene

is a difference. And Tarot can a

40:30

wonderful guide for that. for that. Oh,

40:32

for for sure. I think I think

40:35

that understanding the symbols of is

40:37

is really important because it helps

40:39

us find a deeper meaning

40:41

and a divinatory significance that we

40:43

can add to the reading. reading.

40:45

And what's And what's interesting to

40:47

contemplate is that symbols existed before

40:49

language. So they've been

40:51

around for, for... so long they are

40:53

they are able to convey

40:55

something much greater in meaning with

40:57

just one image. Young said

41:00

Jung said symbols act upon

41:02

our and our our collective conscious

41:04

ways that unlock powerful

41:07

energies and creativity. He

41:09

saw them as messengers. to the to

41:11

the that that us to us to

41:13

the archetypes of the collective

41:15

unconscious. unconscious. And William Butler Yates, the

41:17

poet and also a member of

41:19

the Order of the Golden Dawn,

41:21

of the Golden Dawn, greatest of all powers.

41:24

of all powers. Waite said the

41:26

symbols on the tarot deck the

41:28

tarot deck were opened realms of

41:30

vision beyond vision dreams. occult dreams.

41:32

his book, book, the Key, he writes,

41:35

he writes, the true is symbolism. On the

41:37

the highest it it offers a

41:39

key to the mysteries. But the But

41:41

the wrong symbolic stories have

41:43

been told concerning it. it. and the

41:45

wrong history has been given in

41:48

every published work which far has

41:50

dealt with the subject. subject. Well that sounds

41:52

a little ecocentric to me now that I'm reading

41:54

that. I'm reading that would be would be

41:56

wait. Okay right I'm I'm not just pulling

41:58

that okay because that does does... like I'm the

42:00

the only one who has the right

42:02

symbolic answer. Yeah, that's right. That's why

42:04

he why he believed. He says

42:06

the is is a a derivative

42:08

of any one school of

42:10

literature or occultism. It It is

42:12

not of alchemy cabalism or astrology

42:14

or ceremonial magic. It

42:17

is a presentation of universal

42:19

ideas ideas means of universal types,

42:21

and it is the combination

42:23

of these universal types that

42:25

it presents that it doctrine. the secret

42:27

doctrine. And it's not so

42:29

secret. secret. Not anymore. No, it's

42:31

No, it's not. We all have access to it. to it.

42:33

We did. Yeah, which I love. Me too. So

42:36

I thought we could I thought we

42:38

could talk about some of the common

42:40

symbols that occur occur, and these aren't obviously

42:42

all of them because that would because that

42:44

an entire in course, like the one you're

42:46

teaching, but I thought we could at

42:48

least touch on some of them. at least

42:51

rose appears on many cards,

42:53

such as the cards, the fool,

42:55

the dinosaurs, the queen of pentacles,

42:57

the of just to name a

42:59

few. name a few. Roses symbolize love,

43:02

resurrection, rebirth, and

43:04

romance. Red roses,

43:06

typically. The white rose, which we see

43:08

on some cards, represents innocence,

43:10

a new start, and purity.

43:13

Absolutely true. And thing

43:15

I would just add to

43:17

that, Samantha, to that, Samantha, is are

43:19

not the only flowers that

43:21

appear. Lilies appear, appear. and my mind's going

43:23

to various trees are there,

43:25

lots of plants, there, and the

43:27

of plants. And the plant very clear and

43:29

very specific and serve a

43:31

very purpose for appearing on the

43:33

particular cars that they appear.

43:35

For example, you see For

43:38

example, you see the the tree

43:40

on the empress key and tree is

43:42

sacred to the goddess Venus, which

43:44

shield is on is on the

43:46

next to next to that the empress

43:49

that the Empress is sitting on so it goes on and on

43:51

and on on. So So lots of plants. Lots

43:53

of plants. The The we see the we see the

43:55

horse on a lot of cards. on It's

43:58

on all the cards. It's on the death. the

44:00

sun card, six of for

44:02

example. The horses

44:04

represent freedom, confidence,

44:06

messages coming, competition, and

44:09

endurance. Horses in in tarot

44:11

being on a journey. on

44:13

a journey. And in addition to

44:16

that, some years ago, I

44:18

had a wonderful student who

44:20

was an was an equestrian teacher And

44:22

she had done all sorts

44:24

of research. research on the various

44:26

stances that the horses. have

44:28

in the as pictured in the

44:31

keys, and they're all different,

44:33

just you know summer know, paw up in the

44:35

air in the air mean it's I mean

44:37

I have that have that she's

44:39

all gave me me the permission to share it. it

44:41

with my students so that there's a way

44:43

to dive really deeply into the way

44:45

the horses are standing into row. Each of

44:47

those is different and has a meaning. Oh,

44:50

that's important a meaning. Oh that's So

44:52

many layers. Yes. So many layers. Okay,

44:55

then we have the pomegranate, which

44:57

you can see on cards cards

44:59

and the high priestess, the and

45:01

these symbolize fertility, creativity, birth,

45:04

rebirth, and and enjoying

45:06

life's sensual pleasures. you want

45:08

to really you want to really dive

45:10

deeply into the pomegranate... in it.

45:12

You need to read the the the

45:14

Greek story of who is the

45:16

who is the goddess of grain

45:19

and fertility, and and her daughter Persephony. And

45:21

the story of Persephone's

45:23

abduction into hell by the by

45:25

the so forth. and

45:27

so forth. have a ton have

45:29

a ton of symbology and

45:32

of course then and, of

45:34

course, Well isn't it true that the Well

45:36

isn't it true that the pomegranate was

45:38

the apple? weren't weren't apples in that

45:40

area of the world so it must

45:42

have been a pomegranate that been a pomegranate that

45:45

one theory. That's I thought so.

45:47

Yeah I thought so. Right. Okay, the lion is

45:49

another recurring symbol. You can find him

45:51

on cards like the the card, the

45:53

wheel of fortune, the queen of wands,

45:55

the two of cops, the king of

45:57

wands. king of wands. Lion symbolize

45:59

strength. power, leadership, and the and

46:01

the ability to take charge.

46:03

And the the lion can also

46:05

symbolize the the Leo sign. sign.

46:07

Absolutely. And And

46:10

he also represents here. he, the is

46:12

often depicted as male represents the

46:14

line of Judah the lion of

46:16

it goes into it symbolism Hebrew

46:18

symbolism nice. Oh, nice. Okay, angels

46:21

appear on lots of cards,

46:23

like the wheel of the of fortune,

46:25

the the the queen of swords,

46:27

which is which is on the

46:29

chair the the king of swords,

46:31

which is on the crown. crown. Angels

46:33

symbolize help from above, receiving

46:35

messages from the other side, and

46:38

can represent protection being guided

46:40

and receiving a message. a message. Absolutely.

46:43

each of those angels throughout the deck

46:45

have a different meaning depending on

46:47

their jobs, as we just talked about.

46:49

talked about, Ariel, for example, is

46:51

the of of healing, the

46:53

archangel Michael, the temperance people

46:56

do. people to think that's

46:58

what's depicted there there, is the

47:00

archangel of It's fascinating. It

47:03

really is. is. And then the

47:05

which we see on the the and

47:07

the wheel of the wheel of protection,

47:10

guardianship, and transformation as

47:13

the Sphinx shows the transformation of

47:15

the lion and the human. of the lion

47:17

and And we will never know. will

47:19

never the true answer to the

47:22

to the Sphinx question. No. And

47:24

we have we have the who

47:26

appears on cards like

47:28

cards like the magician, empress, emperor, chariot,

47:30

hermit, whirl, queen of pentacles, and on

47:32

on. on. Septors in tarot represent

47:34

authority, leadership, laws. and laws.

47:37

It's important to look at the holding the

47:39

sceptre on the card. the For example,

47:41

the sceptre on the emperor's card reminds

47:43

us that Mother nature is in charge and

47:46

we must respect the cycles and rhythm

47:48

of the world we live in. But

47:50

you know, Deb, when I was I was trying to dive

47:52

into this I feel like we could do

47:54

a whole show just on scepter. Because it because

47:56

it depends, when the hermit

47:58

holds the the scepter, represents, you know,

48:00

being in charge of your own

48:03

self and going within and relying

48:05

on yourself. When the magician holds

48:07

the scepter, it represents incorporating all

48:09

the tools of the tarot into

48:11

your magic bag of manifesting and

48:13

able to really create your will

48:15

into the world. So the scepter

48:18

is on a lot of cards,

48:20

but it's meaning changes in terms

48:22

of who's holding it and where

48:24

it's pointing and all sorts of

48:26

things. Absolutely. And for example, in

48:28

swords, it depends on whether the

48:31

sword is pointing right side, pointing

48:33

upward or downward. That makes a

48:35

big difference in the interpretation of

48:37

the keys. One of the things

48:39

that I hope that folks are

48:41

getting from this very brief survey

48:45

of various symbols is that this

48:47

is a wonderful tool when you

48:49

start grouping things like this together,

48:51

like finding all the roses or

48:53

finding the sphinx or this that

48:55

and the other. You begin to

48:57

see layers of the cards and

48:59

their connection. And that's one of

49:01

the ways that helps you to

49:03

learn those symbols, because it sounds

49:06

daunting. mean, I can imagine that

49:08

some folks listening to this are

49:10

thinking, good golly, I would never

49:12

learn all of those. Well, the

49:14

answer is, no, you won't. I've

49:16

been at this for nearly 50

49:18

years, and I learn something new

49:20

all the time. That is the

49:22

one promise that I make students

49:24

in a class with me. Is

49:27

it before the class is over?

49:29

I too will have learned something

49:31

new, and I always do. And

49:33

I love that it's a lifelong

49:35

journey. And I love that it's

49:37

fun and interesting and rabbit holes.

49:39

You want to go down some

49:41

rabbit holes? Enjoy tarot and enjoy

49:43

it. That's the important thing here

49:46

is because when you approach learning

49:48

and connecting with tarot and the

49:50

meaning of the cards in the

49:52

perspective of having fun and interest

49:54

and just diving into the concept

49:56

of connection, it becomes this whole

49:58

wonderful world of study. and I clearly I

50:00

love I love it. it

50:02

deeply would invite anybody to anybody.

50:05

a deep to really take a

50:07

deep dive into stop at not just. stop

50:09

at the surface meaning of the have

50:11

a I have a question for you.

50:13

You know, you were talking about really looking

50:15

at all the symbols and all the different

50:17

cards if you know

50:19

how we get so many questions from

50:21

listeners saying I keep seeing the

50:23

numbers from listeners saying, I keep seeing the time I

50:25

look at the clock it says 222

50:27

clock you pull out the you cards

50:29

that have those numbers and see if

50:32

there's a message for you in

50:34

there would you think that would work

50:36

you it could you in that would of

50:38

the way it could, although in is

50:40

structured. everything really

50:42

can relate. can reduce to

50:44

a single digit. than

50:46

rather than looking at one, one, one,

50:49

one, for example, because we get one

50:51

11 all the time all 11, or 1111 the

50:53

time. that's four. that's four. So look

50:55

look at all the four cards. cards and all

50:57

the and all the four and

50:59

the major the and in the minor in

51:02

the minor arcana to to

51:04

do with stability and groundedness. The

51:06

four corners, for for example, the

51:08

throne of the emperor, his

51:11

number is is four. So yes, yes, you

51:13

can do a lot of numerology. All

51:15

right, right, wait. So I'm not now feel like I

51:17

know know the well and I'm feeling a

51:19

little overwhelmed. a So tell people who

51:21

are thinking about taking your class and

51:23

they're feeling overwhelmed class they can expect how

51:25

they won't. be overwhelmed. can expect and

51:27

how they won't be overwhelmed. I promise you

51:29

we won't be overwhelmed, but at least we

51:31

won't start there. at least we won't

51:33

here's how it here's how it

51:35

here's how it works. my my in my

51:38

intro courts called the Mysteries

51:40

of mysteries we really do

51:42

begin with looking at

51:44

for one of look for one thing, we

51:46

look at the history, which is changing,

51:48

interestingly. some There's some historical research that's

51:50

being done right now that's changing some of

51:52

what we thought we knew about tarot.

51:54

But in any case, we'll look at

51:57

some history. history. How did tarot get to be where

51:59

it is today? is today? How did this quintessential

52:02

gold standard weight standard,

52:04

debt come into being? Who into being.

52:06

Who are these people? they

52:08
