Book Details
Portable Magic: Similarly, the images suggest Egyptian, Greek, and biblical mythic elements. This does not support an Egyptian, Greek, or Hebrew source for the Tarot, but it allows the association of the Tarot with certain aspects of these powerful racial currents in the Western esoteric tradition. As a consequence, the Tarot can be used to channel the spiritual and magical energies of these traditions. In its broadest sense, symbolism is not dependent for its meaning on its period and place of origin. It transcends time and place. Tarot symbolism is as potent today as it was when placed on the cards six centuries ago.

Creative Tarot: The woman on the Eight of Swords card is awaiting rescue from an outside force. Rather than removing her own blindfold and untying herself, she is waiting for someone to come by and do this for her. Whether because of past trauma or simply a white-knight fantasy, the result is the same: she is going to wait for a very long time.

Portable Magic: The Fool, with its designation of zero, serves as the portal in Tarot magic. It is through the Fool that ritual desire is projected and psychic links established. Air is the element of the mind, and the Fool represents the higher zone of spiritual Air that encircles the world and mediates between the bands of spiritual Fire Judgement) above it, and spiritual Water (Hanged Man) below it. The Hebrew letter linked with the Fool, Aleph, and its corresponding element Air, are said in Sqher Yetzirah to be ‘as the tongue of a balance standing between these contraries [Fire and Water] which are in equilibrium, reconciling and mediating between them’ (Westcott, 18).

Portable Magic: The primary meaning of the zodiacal trump Death (Scorpio) is transformation. In spite of its somewhat sinister appearance, it has great active power and should not be avoided when placing the planetary modifiers. This is also true of the other trump of the circle that superficially appears to have an evil connotation, the Devil (Capricorn). Both cards express considerable force that can be used in rituals with excellent results. In our example, the Tower is put on the Emperor rather than on Death to avoid a square aspect, not to avoid the Death trump.
