Book Details
Portable Magic: Rituals often have as their focus a human being, who is represented on the triangle by a significator. It is possible to work rituals using only a lone significator on the triangle, but all of the definition for the ritual purpose must then come from the intention of the magician, aided by whichever planetary modifiers are used. The significator card on the triangle characterizes by its esoteric associations the person at whom the ritual is aimed, and when it is unaccompanied by realizers the nature of the fulfilment must be held dynamically in the mind of the magician.

Reversed Cards: When reading the Wheel of Fortune in the shadow aspect, one cannot escape the inevitability of death. We will be ultimately crushed by the spinning gears of time. Forgotten, replaced, and lost in a world that keeps on turning. This is only made stronger by the fact that when we physically have the Wheel of Fortune card upside down, the letters on the card spell ROTA, Latin for ‘wheel.’ We are hopelessly chained to the wheel. We go up with it and we go down with it. And when the top is the bottom and the bottom is the top, we can sometimes forget our sense of morality. For what place do morals have in a hopeless cyclic experience in which we will inevitably be destroyed? It does sound grim. Perhaps this is why the Rider-Waite-Smith gives us some relief from the heaviness of this uncontrollable wheel. Maybe this is why Waite felt the need to prop this card up with religious hope. For in the corners of the Rider-Waite-Smith cards we see symbols of the Four Evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—reminding us that here in the dark shadows of the human experience we have hope, that we are being guided by something that is not as limited as the physical experience. Here in the arms of the saints, we are guided through a high spiritual experience. When we find ourselves in the shadow nature of this card, we must remember that there is always a way to come into the light. No darkness is forever, and all that once bound us to fear can be slowly and lovingly unraveled. For as the Wheel says in its own words,

Tarot Triumphs: Jo spread out the pack for me. It was a revelation. He used the Rider-Waite Tarot pack, created by author A. E. Waite and artist Pamela Colman Smith at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is probably the most popular pack in use today, apart from the traditional Tarot of Marseilles. Every card, including the suits of the Minor Arcana, is represented as a pictorial image and is rich in symbolism, drawn partly from the symbolism and teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. It is a very vivid, very bright pack. I fell in love with it. I felt that each card was a portal through which I could enter a magical world.

Tarot for Beginners: Many Tarot readers would argue that there is no separation between physical space and the spiritual realm—just a division between the seen and unseen. Whatever your take on the meaning of the word ‘spiritual,’ it is important to acknowledge and respect the flow of energy that connects you to the Universe and informs your intuition during the reading. Tapping into this ‘space’ in an instantaneous way can be challenging, which is why it’s recommended that you clear mental and emotional ‘debris’ before sitting down to read the cards.
