The Lord of Indolence arises when energy is blocked, and where it is beginning to stagnate. This is, obviously, a nasty and potentially dangerous situation which must be addressed if it is to be cleared out of the way. You may, though, feel tired and apathetic about challenging issues which seem too big or too stubborn to deal with. If you are currently feeling quite trapped by life, then today is a day where you can make a profound difference to the way things around you are affecting you. Target one area which is taking more energy from you than it gives back. Think through your reactions and responses to this situation. Consider whether you’re tending to slide a bit toward feeling like a victim – don’t judge this, just consider it. If you judge something that sensitive, you will become defensive, and therefore be unable to tackle the problem properly. If you, after analysis, decide that you are contributing to the difficulty, then you have it in your power to simply refuse to worsen it with a negative attitude. Tackle the affirmation with great gusto! That should shift your own blockages.
If, on reflection, you feel that the problem is not yours, but somebody else’s, the first thing you need to do is refuse to react by giving more energy. Just stop. For this day, refuse to play the game. And do the affirmation! That should cause some shift, if only in your own approach. Finally, if you feel you do not have any major problems today, then consider the whole energy exchange that is the sum total of your life. Assess things realistically. Ensure that there are no areas of leakage. If there are, then consider what you can do. If there aren’t, congratulate yourself for living your life in accordance with the dance of the Universe!!

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: This confusion caused many writers to date the earliest reference to the Tarot in France as having occurred in the year 1392, when the card maker Jacquemin Gringonneur is recorded to have produced a set of hand painted cards for King Charles VI. The erroneous assumption was made that these were Tarot cards, and they were associated with an existing partial set of early Tarot cards known, quite incorrectly, as the Charles VI Tarot deck. However, the link had no basis. The Tarot did not become widely known in France until the sixteenth century.

Tarot Triumphs: What kind of light do you think illuminates each Tarot Triumph? We have obvious examples in the Star, the Moon, and the Sun: what are the qualities and properties of the light contained in those images? Where there is no obvious type of light, ask yourself how you imagine it to be. Is the scene set indoors or outdoors, for instance? Is it bright, clouded, or dim light? Again, these impressions need not become fixed in your mind for all time, but they will help you to detect the mood and atmosphere of the scene. A further consideration could be shadows: do you expect to find shadows in the images, or are they perhaps more like stage scenes, visions, or the stuff of legend, where there may be no shadows at all?
