Romance, Love Or Relationships:

When The reversed Nine of Swords appears in a love context, you may need to give deep thought to what is happening in an existing relationship. If you feel that your partner is or has been dishonest, this is a good time to check into it. If you’re looking for love, take your time when getting to know new people now. You could come up against someone who is out for a good time, and nothing more – and who is practiced at telling people what they want to hear but doesn’t follow through. Trust your gut.

Card Meanings: Unselfishness, Learning To Cope, Letting Go Of Negativity/Stress, Extreme Guilt/Regret/ Remorse/Shame, Total Collapse/Breakdown, Healing, Depression/ Problems/Fears Escalating, Improving, Scandal/Malicious Gossip, Giving Up, Opening Up, Accepting Help, Hallucinations, Recovering, Facing Life, Good News, Light At End Of Tunnel, Night Terror

The Lord of Cruelty highlights dark influences in our lives – within or beyond us – that will do us no good at all. Here we see the smallest emotions of our race at work, creating damage and harm. Whenever it appears, it warns us that somewhere nearby there is danger lurking, waiting to cause disruption and sorrow. So we need to act very fast and decisively in order to nip trouble in the bud. Often, this card will be a comment on your own treatment of yourself – if you denigrate yourself and beat yourself up, you are facing the worst enemy of your entire life – you know your every weak spot, your every Achilles heel. You know just exactly what hurts you most, you have no defence against yourself, and you cannot walk away.

So…when this card assumes importance in your life, you must examine yourself first and foremost. Are you treating yourself badly? Are you giving yourself a hard time? Are you chipping away at yourself relentlessly? If you discover you are, it’s time to stop. Hurting yourself about things within that you feel unhappy about is as pointless as trying to carry water in a leaky bucket…..you cannot adjust what you see to be wrong, because you are too busy standing in judgement upon yourself to gain any form of perspective or objectivity. And without these two useful analytical tools, you won’t understand what you need to do to feel better, neither will you have the motivation or self-love to follow through. So….treat yourself with respect and tenderness whilst attempting to change what you do not like. Give yourself plenty of encouragement and praise for each small step you make. Don’t be cruel. If you feel convinced that you are in balance with yourself….next examine what you’re doing to others. Remember something…..there is never an excuse for cruelty. No matter what situation you find yourself in, there is always a better way to deal with a situation than to exert mindless cruelty which will damage you, in the long term, much more than the person you aim it at. Finally, consider the possibility that somebody in your environment is aiming cruel thoughts or deeds in your direction. Be on your guard so that you are not taken unawares…… Every now and again this card comes up as a firm warning of danger…..

Book Details
Psychic Abilities : Levitation is one of the abilities that many psychics would love to conquer, as it enables a person to physically manifest their abilities. When a person levitates, they raise their bodies off the ground and are able to balance in mid air, almost as though they are flying.

Tarot Beginners Guide: Maybe the person concerned will offer her services to someone. The Devil card indicates that there are certain commitments and ties and that there is a need for freedom from restraint. Again, a reassessment is necessary, and the person concerned should guard against being tied to something or someone against their will. This probably accounts for the feelings put forward in the Hermit and Page of cups cards, as the Devil card, being the third card, is the card holding together the other four cards. The nine of swords is a worry card; there are worries involved as a result of the restrictions being placed upon the person. There are also probably family worries, unhappiness and quarrels. However, the six of wands card indicates that everything will turn out fine in the end, problems will be overcome and delays lifted.

Portable Magic: wished to revive Rosicrucianism as an active esoteric school embracing all the major occult currents of the Western tradition, among them Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, the Tarot, and the Kabbalah, and sought to use these ancient teachings in the daily practice of ceremonial magic. They were bold enough to extend their teachings to both men and women, a practice uncommon in the tradition of Freemasonry.
