When the Lord of Swiftness comes up in a reading, it shows that there is an energy available which will break down obstacles, move restrictions and allow the free flow of power in any situation you direct it toward. Often there will have been problems which refuse to yield to any reasonable solution previously attempted. However on a day ruled by the 8 of Wands even the most intractable and stubborn difficulties will simply fall away when the downrush of power is felt from this card. Accordingly, on an 8 of Wands day, go looking for problems! Try to locate those things – whether major or minor, that have refused resolution till now. When you find something that seems applicable, sit down for a few minutes and mentally walk around the obstacle, trying to get a new perspective on it.
This thinking period is important, because when this card rules, there is rapid and swift communication – either intuitively or in real terms, which allows you to see a way through the maze of complications that can build up around the most mundane of tasks. Expect, during your period of contemplation, to see new possibilities for solving the problem. Wait for the out-of-the-blue thought that strikes you as though from nowhere. When you discover it, try it out, no matter how outlandish it may at first appear. Be open to what life tells you – not as a result of seeking advice, but as a spontaneous offering from the people around you. When we leave ourselves open for the Universe to convey its thoughts to us, they can arrive from the most unexpected sources! Be prepared to consider any options offered to you obliquely – don’t take them at face value; try to turn them into applications for the matter you are attempting to resolve. And allow your sense of humour full rein – you need a light-hearted attitude to get the best out of this card. You’ll be amazed at the things you will get done on a day ruled by the Lord of Swiftness.

Book Details
Try our Love Horoscopes: Spirit Animal Pictures
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: These Tarot charms have the advantage over conventional charms in that they cost nothing in materials since you already have a deck of Tarot cards, they do not require you to obtain or gather obscure substiles for the composition of the charm, and they can be assembled and charged in a brief time with no preparation. If you wish, you can make or buy a folder such as a small wallet specifically for holding and carrying Tarot charms. Something such as a rigid cigarette case would give the cards of the charm added protection from accidental damage. However, a plain paper envelope will serve the same purpose just as well, provided you take care not to bend or otherwise damage the cards.

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?
