| Four Of Swords | | | The Swords of the mind are made of steel,
They're swift and sharp in their fight,
Though their way is to wound then to heal,
They cut down, cut clean with their swift might.
The Suit of Swords is governed by the element of Air and and so is connected with all things to do with the mind, and the power of thought which ultimately enables you to mould or change your world. Keenly sharp, the suit of swords also symbolises the intellect. However, their darker side gives vivid illustration of the infamous 'Daggers of the Mind' and so accurately exemplifying Human nature itself, especially when things are bad, for is it not then that we are at our best with the determination and courage the swords also reflect? By their very nature as a cutting instrument the Swords can also reveal surgical procedures and other health issues coming to pass.
The season linked to the suit of swords is Springtime, and its direction is East.
The Astrological signs that come under the wings of the suit of Swords are the Air signs of Libra, Gemini and Aquarius.
| | INTERPRETATION:
Astrological association: Libra
Planetary influence: Jupiter
A time of repose, retreat and contemplation. A time for healing. Sometimes vigilance is indicated. Other accounts suggest that this is also a card of mourning.

</SCRIPT> December 8, 2005 | Death | | | The Major Arcana, or Trumps in the Tarot deck represent the major turning points in our lives that we must all go through in order to evolve, and journey through life... They are the significant events that mould us, as opposed to the four numbered suits that reflect the more day to day events that we live through. Significant, dramatic, important... all these would describe the influences of the Major Arcana.
| | INTERPRETATION:
Death is numbered thirteen and is the most feared card in the deck. We see the Grim Reaper depicted as a dark and powerful figure, sometimes on horseback and at other times on foot. He usually carries a scythe and leaves bodies, limbs and so on in his wake. Whoever we are, Death will claim us eventually.
The Death card signifies endings, but not necessarily shocking and disruptive ones. In any case, endings always lead to new beginnings and Death itself symbolises a sweeping away of the past. If we rid ourselves of past garbage then we are free to set out on an entirely new path
When Death appears it almost always signifies a major change in one's life. Sometimes the change will appear disruptive and unexpected, sometimes it will be a breath of fresh air - clearing away obstacles and allowing you to surge forward. So do not assume that Death is a negative card - it is often just what we need in order to progress when fear is holding us up. | Script Copyright 2003 by The Witches Well |

</SCRIPT> December 9, 2005 | Four Of Pentacles | | | These Pentacles of magic
Are Pentacles of old,
The ruling element is Earth,
With its magic and its Gold... The Suit of Pentacles is governed by the element of Earth and and so is connected with all things to do with the material and physical things in life including career and also health issues. This suit can also speak of matters concerning the home.

The Astrological signs that come within the realm of the suit of Pentacles are the Earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo.
| | INTERPRETATION:
Astrological association: Capricorn
Planetary influence: The Sun
This card speaks for itself on the surface. It symbolises gain and power and the security that goes with it. Possession being the law. Also, the determination to hang on to what one has, sending 'loss' far away. In some circles this card also heralds a new starting point and as such a new beginning.

</SCRIPT> December 11, 2005 | The Universe | | | The Major Arcana, or Trumps in the Tarot deck represent the major turning points in our lives that we must all go through in order to evolve, and journey through life... They are the significant events that mould us, as opposed to the four numbered suits that reflect the more day to day events that we live through. Significant, dramatic, important... all these would describe the influences of the Major Arcana.
| | INTERPRETATION:
The Universe (or World) is numbered twenty one and is the final card of the Major Arcana. We usually see a female figure dancing within or upon the world, often surrounded by a laurel wreath. The four elemental creatures can be seen, suggesting mastery. This is a card of completion. The soul has attained earthly perfection after passing through the final, self-imposed, trial of the Aeon.
There are many positive and enjoyable connotations to this card. There is satisfaction, fulfilment and pride, because we have achieved something. There is fruitfulness and bounty as a reward for our earlier efforts. There is good fortune and confirmation that now we are putting enough into life to get out of it what we need.
The Universe completes the journey and evolution of the Fool. We begin in innocence, mature through experience and education, becoming wise and measured. Balanced in this way we finally achieve the good fortune and joy of the Universe. The traumas and self-imposed obstacles are gone. We have integrated all parts of our being into a harmonious synthesis which brings positivity and success into material reality. Like the figure depicted in the card, we dance with the joy of life. And again we are the Innocent. | |

</SCRIPT> December 11, 2005 | The Wheel Of Fortune | | | The Major Arcana, or Trumps in the Tarot deck represent the major turning points in our lives that we must all go through in order to evolve, and journey through life... They are the significant events that mould us, as opposed to the four numbered suits that reflect the more day to day events that we live through. Significant, dramatic, important... all these would describe the influences of the Major Arcana.
| | INTERPRETATION:
The Wheel of Fortune is numbered ten and is usually shown as a great wheel. Sometimes Fortuna is seen, turning the wheel for all eternity. There are people or animals on the Wheel - some are falling off to be crushed, some are struggling to stay on, while a solitary figure makes no attempt to maintain its position but succeeds anyway.
Fortune is not the same as luck. We make our own luck and follow our own destiny. Good fortune comes from the still centre which contains the very heart of ourselves. The seasons will continue to wheel, the sun will rise and set, the planets will move in their allotted courses - with or without us.
If we struggle against the flow of life, we become those struggling to ascend the Wheel, or even one of those crushed beneath it. However, if we realise our own power to create a beneficial future and then trust in that vision, we shall become the still figure, master of our own universe.

</SCRIPT> December 14, 2005 | The Heirophant | | | The Major Arcana, or Trumps in the Tarot deck represent the major turning points in our lives that we must all go through in order to evolve, and journey through life... They are the significant events that mould us, as opposed to the four numbered suits that reflect the more day to day events that we live through. Significant, dramatic, important... all these would describe the influences of the Major Arcana.
| | INTERPRETATION:
The Hierophant (or Pope, High Priest) is numbered five and is concerned with matters of faith, religion, belief and morality. This is the wise teacher, full of esoteric and occult knowledge. He can help us to understand the mysteries around and within us.
The Hierophant is a holy man, but is in essence both male and female. He has a healthy connection with life and living - someone who has experienced life in full and now has the experience and wisdom needed in order to teach others.
He is usually seen holding his index and middle finger extended, as though pointing at something. This symbolism is important, because the human Will is considered to be directed by these two fingers. The Hierophant is an archetype which represents the culmination of human development.
His abilities reside like seeds within every one of us. We all have the ability to travel where he has already explored. He holds the keys to transformation. | |

The Emperor is numbered four and is the Empress' other half. Here is a man in the prime of life - successful, confident, secure and well-established. Where the Empress is allied with the Moon, the Emperor is aligned with the Sun.
The Emperor is quick and energetic, exerting dynamic control over his life. He feels born to rule and at his best is a thoughtful and sensitive leader. He listens to others but always the final decision is his own.
This is a man who has proved himself worthy. He has won most of his battles and now is the time to rule over a rich and bountiful land. He is the King Arthur type. He also represents fatherhood - fertile man, protector and providor.
When we are the Emperor, we are taking hold of our power. We are prepared to protect and defend the vulnerable, as well as to shed the lazy and weak. Finally, we are willing and ready to pass on what we have discovered to others who are ready to learn. | |
