Reading the Tarot - Numerology and the Minor Arcana
Numerology is basically the study of the mysterious hidden meaning that numbers can provide about a person, place or thing. In ancient times people used numerology to predict the future. After that it was used to understand people's personalities. In Greece, some 2,600 years ago, Pythagoras, "the father of mathematics", declared that numbers set a limit to the limitless, that numbers constitute the true nature of things and that all concepts can be expressed in numbers! Further, he elaborated on the qualities and relative relationships between each of the 9 numbers and, as such, became the father of modern numerology. There are common themes based on numerology that flow throughout the Minor Arcana...

Interpreting Tarot Cards - Part 4
Last time, we looked at a simplified tarot card reading technique using only the 22 major arcana cards, and we got as far as the Tower. We will resume in this article with the 17th card, the Star. The Star is a symbol of inspiration and hope, as anyone who has ever looked up on a cloud-free night will understand. In readings, the Star reminds us that there is light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how grim the current situation may be. The Star is a promise that better times are on the way, and now is NOT the time to despair. In a broader sense, (according to everyone at !) if you have been holding back, now might be the time for a big push. Although the Star is Hope, it is not a practical card...

The Healing Energy of Crystals and Stones
Our universe is one of vibrations. Absolutely everything (including us) vibrates at a molecular level! In some objects, these vibrations tend to cancel one another due to the chaotic structure of their atoms. But other things, like crystals, have structures that allow these vibrations to add together. This addition of vibrations due to the structure of objects like crystals cause them to amplify and radiate this energy of vibration. These vibrations are subtle, but they can be used to help you handle many of life's everyday problems. Stones and crystals each have a unique structure and composition. This gives each one a unique vibration rate and quality. At the heart of a crystal is the atom...
Love Tarot - What the Tarot Can Tell Us About Our Relationships
Relationships aren't easy. They require a tremendous amount of effort and commitment. There are, of course, those times, where one feels lost and hopeless within their relationship. Misunderstandings and lack of communication seem to permeate everyday matters. Love feels as though it has been replaced with distrust and confusion. Obviously, there can be a number of issues that cause strife within one's relationship. The difficulty often lies in an inability to uncover the causes and issues surrounding the discord within the nature of a relationship. So what can the Tarot really tell us about our relationships? Just about everything. When we lack the faith and understanding, our behaviors tend to get...
Can I Have My Tarot Cards Read Every Week?
A good tarot card reading can elicit some interesting responses. For first-time clients I often see a phenomenon I call, "The Chinese Food Syndrome." In this metaphor, the client feels good about the information he received in the reading, and quickly calls to schedule another one. If you read cards, you've undoubtedly experienced this. If you've received a good reading as a client, you can relate to that feeling, too. There is a temptation to get your cards read too often. But, how often is too often? Who Has the Power Here? I am a firm believer that the only one with power in our lives is US. We can't blame our boss, our children, our spouse or the boogeyman; for the things we don't like, we...
Can I Give A Tarot Card Reading To Myself?
A big question for many beginning tarot practitioners is, is it okay to read your own tarot cards? Can you really answer your own questions as well as a professional reader would? This is a tricky question because there is a short answer and a word of warning to go along with it. Short Answer: Yes, you can read your own tarot cards and get an accurate reading without the help of a professional reader. But... Doing a reading for yourself is trickier than you may expect. The problem is that sometimes the cards present us with answer we just don't like or don't want to accept. They may tell us we're heading down the wrong path. They may tell us we're in for some rough times ahead. They may predict a...

Can TAROT cards tell the future? In my experience, the surprising answer is that to a significant degree they can. At the very least they are perceived to . . . and for the sake of picking up women and making new friends that is quite good enough. Humans learn by association. A child sees a fire, touches it, gets burned and he makes an association between fire and getting burned. Humans learn what a King is by understanding the role of a father, and perhaps understand what a Goddess is by knowing what Mothers do. TAROT cards are a deck of associations. The MAGICIAN is the guy that dazzles us with clever tricks, or ourselves when we are at the top of our game. DEATH is the horror that drags us to...

Tarot Cards - Can They Really Predict Your Future?
As a tarot reader, this is one of the most common questions I receive and one that tends to make clients uncomfortable, and even wary of receiving a reading. Prediction gets to the heart of our fears of uncertainty; some would prefer to know beforehand what to expect, and others fear that by knowing they somehow invoke circumstances upon themselves, for good or ill. The good news is, tarot doesn't exactly work this way. Each tarot reader will have a different approach to prediction, some favour it while others (myself included) try to discourage it, as it can be misleading. Some readers include time lines, and specific details (the stereotypical tall, dark and handsome man, for example) which may or...
Tarot Cards - The Emperor
Many people express a deep fondness for the Empress' motherly love. It is because of this that these same people often feel fearful of the patriarchal sternness expressed by the Emperor. In the Waite deck, the Emperor seems stern and dark. He has a vast array of armor and seems to be poised in the heat of the desert. Seen also with this deck is how a narrow stream tries to make its way through multiple layers of earthen rock. Alternately, a calm, soothing river ran through a flourishing garden for the Empress.Sometimes other decks of tarot cards have tried to present the image of the Emperor in a more positive light. The Emperor can be seem as a divine leader, more conceptual and representational...

In addition, you must have a Querent or a Significator (the person you are reading for). Try to find what kind of reading is best for you. There is the Celtic Cross method which is one of the most popular layouts. Other popular layouts are the Romanry spread, the Tree of Life Spread and the Zodiac Method.

Wholesale Candle Making Supplies That Save You Money
Wholesale candle making supplies often seem economical only to chandlers with thriving businesses or large storage areas. Websites that advertise wholesale candle making supplies carry statements such as: "Wholesale prices available on all supplies purchased in large quantities of the same item." The next paragraph informs you that they define a "large quantity" of wax as five hundred pounds or more. Where would you store five hundred pounds of wax - and how long would it take to use that much wax? More to the point, how could you work that cost into your tight budget?

Old Wine Skins and Spirituality
Jesus taught loving truths by using physical metaphors. One of his teachings was about putting new wine into old wine skins. Was this actually about wine or was he trying to teach spiritual truth? Jesus was trying to teach us how to live in the Spirit, and the Scribes and Pharisees apparently did not understand what he was trying to say. They apparently wanted him to teach within the organized structure of the Jewish Priesthood, but Jesus understood that his spiritual teachings could get lost in the ancient structure of legal minded teachings. So he used the metaphor about the wine skins to help make his point. He taught that you cannot put new wine into old wine skins or the ancient skins would...
Whether to stay or leave an unhappy relationship can be avery difficult decision, especially when children and otherfactors are involved. Will you create negative karma if you leave your marriage? Some may say that you have an obligation to stay marriedfor your children. We disagree because we feel childrenknow when their parents are unhappy together, and a divorce,when handled with compassion, unconditional love, andresponsibility, can be the best for all involved. Divorce, itself is not terrible, but the way divorce is too oftenhandled can be. Considering the story-book fairy tales ofrelationships and marriage, breaking up is the end of theworld. Alternatively, if you perceive divorce as a...
Spirituality Has Nothing to Do With Religious Dogma
I am a spiritual (not religious) person who collects religions and celebrates God wherever It is to be found. That one sentence is enough to make the brainwashed religious dogma people go apoplectic. Before I get nasty emails from the clueless hordes, allow me to first explain that I have an extensive religious background. When anyone inquires as to my religion I get to giggle first before launching into the definition of my particular brand of belief systems: "Judeo-ChristianBuddhistMormonCatholicPaganSpiritualist". Raised Roman Catholic by very devout parents, brought up in a family enclave of equally devout aunts, uncles and grandparents, I am the family anomaly. My education included attending...

He reveals the impact and influence of the lives of characters in both Old Testament and New Testaments and in the history of the Church.

The basic colors of the spectrum are the most fundamental colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These...
Wicca Herbs: Some Common Facts and Applications
Since the beginning of time, man has been engaging with nature's devices to survive. Herbs, plants, trees and flowers offered food, shelter, medicine, magick and also aesthetic appeal. It is, pragmatically speaking, no different today. Modern medicine emulated nature's devices to create the synthetic medicines in use today and modern science harnesses nature to offer the creature comforts modern man demands. Herbalism, in particular, transcended dynasties, empires, religious institutions, political dogma and entire civilizations. It even survived all those natural disasters of cataclysmic proportions over the ages that threatened the continued existence of life on this small planet we call earth...
The use of incense dates back many centuries, probably to the biblical era and is likely to have originated in or around Egypt. Probably initially used in religious ceremonies, but also used by the Pharoahs to mask unpleasant odours as well as thought to drive away demons and please their gods.

Many historic civilisations have used incense over the years including, the Babylonians while offering prayers, the Indus Civilization via burners and there is evidence that it use then spread to the Greeks and Romans.

Traditional Tarot
The tradition of tarot is estimated to be over five hundred years old with archetypal roots that can be traced back to almost two thousand years. The traditional tarot has given way to the modern methods of divination, but it still remains a reservoir of ancient wisdom.

Tarot As a Spiritual Path
Though it is often considered just a fortune-telling device, Tarot cards are actually part of a much larger, centuries-old spiritual movement devoted to the discovery of the Higher Self. This movement, called the Western Mystery Tradition, encompasses and explores the many deep spiritual pathways found outside established western religious institutions; the treasure sought is an ever-deepening perception of our own humanity and relationship with the Divine, achieved by the process of understanding and transforming our own selves. Because of this approach, the Western Mystery Tradition is inclusive, rather than exclusive; it views all religious systems, including Tarot, as symbols and metaphors for...

Verbatim Tarot, Its Miraculous Birth, Miracles Are Beneficial Coincidences
Coincidences that benefit: That is what miracles are!
