When the Lord of Futility rules the day we are, inevitably, in for a bit of a tough few hours. Work will tend to pile up, and conspire against our best efforts to get through it all. We will often feel as though we don’t want to work, as well, which of course will make everything feel worse. We might also fall into the trap of worrying unnecessarily about things that haven’t yet happened, and probably never will. This wastes our energy and makes us feel despondent and futile. So – what to do? For a start, we need to ensure we take our senses of humour to work with us again! We also need to look at any pressing fears or worries and ask ourselves if, realistically we actually KNOW we have something to worry about. If we are objective and honest when we answer the question, very often we’ll find we are feeling down in the mouth, and are actively looking for things to get anxious around. We can do this just to try to take control of a day on which we feel out of control. And it probably does us no good at all.
And anyhow – remember – what you put your attention on grows. Worry about your bank overdraft, and it will get bigger. Worry about your mound of work and it will increase. Worry about whether a disaster is just around the corner and you’ll invite one!! Next – accept in your heart that not every day is trouble free and hassle-less. And also accept your power to maximise or minimise the hassles you experience. The less trouble things give you, despite their troublesome nature, the easier the most awkward of days will go. Finally, on a day ruled by the 7 of Swords, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Even if all you manage is a minor nibble around your work, that’s more than you would have done if you’d spent the day feeling overwhelmed and overworked. And recognise, at a very conscious level, that every single task you complete on a day like this took as much effort as a major triumph on an easy day – so give yourself just as many pats on the back as you would have otherwise! Oh yes, and just one other thing – remember there’s only a 78-1 chance of this card coming up again tomorrow!!

Book Details

Portable Magic: You can sit anywhere, facing any direction, and lay the cards out on any surface, but for ease of orientation it is best to sit facing east and to lay the cards out in front of yourself on a table. In the illustrations of the altar and the circle shown in this book, the perspective is from the south looking north. This was done because this is the usual way maps are presented, with the east on the right side. When you work a ritual, the zodiacal trump of the Emperor will always be in the east, but you can sit on any side of the circle you choose. The location of the triangle, whether east, south, west, or north, will depend on the nature of the ritual purpose, whether it is airy, fiery, watery, or earthy.
Portable Magic: Throughout the nineteenth century, the esoteric Tarot tradition remained largely a French cottage industry. The great savant Court de Gibelin had shown the way, and lesser French luminaries such as Etteilla, Eliphas Levi (AlphonseLouis Constant, 181075), Paul Christian (JeanBaptiste Pitois, 181177), Stanislas de Guaita (186197), and Papus (GerardAnacletVincent Encausse, 18651916) were content to elaborate on his inspiration. It was only with the founding of the London temple of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in 1888 that the blossoming esoteric tradition of the Tarot made its way to England, and from there to America.

Tarot Triumphs: There are also more structured and information-based ways to advance your studies. The most important thing is to develop your own core connection with the Tarot Triumphs as seeds sown in the soul, watered with a little history and context. And it will always be a case, if you want to be a Tarot practitioner, of keeping a balance between that living bond with Tarot and the influx of information from external sources. You may find that at times you are hungry for further input, whereas in some phases you prefer to stay with your own contemplations. For the times when you wish to study more, here are some suggestions for how you could do this.
