Part of the inner lore of the Lord of Science is depicted most clearly on the Ryder Waite deck of Tarot cards, where you will find that a family sits in a small boat, which is being poled across a river by the father of the family. This is a symbolic journey away from the Land of Unreason to the Promised Land (you’ll notice the connection here with the exodus of the Jews from Egypt). And it is within this hidden lore that we can discover much about the influence of the 6 of Dynamism. Interpretatively, the card indicates a period where the querent is sailing into safe haven after having had a bit of a bumpy ride. There is a sense of tranquillity and ease…..a lifting of burdens….a time for rest and recovery here. The concept of crossing the river is one that turns up again and again in mythology. Psychologically, the river can be taken to indicate the flow of the subconscious, emotional Self, whilst the fragile craft in which we travel may be taken as the strivings we make toward spirituality. This can often be tossed about by rapid flowing, ever-changing feelings…..but in the end, with sufficient determination, we can indeed reach the shores on the farther side of the river.

So, on a day ruled by the Lord of Science, we need to regard ourselves as moving into calmer waters. Problems must be approached rationally, and objectively. Emotional swings will be better curbed than indulged. Thus we shall find new and different solutions to difficulties. We shall see things clearly, get issues into sharp focus and perhaps establish new perspectives. We must strive to climb for the higher ground, so as to get an overview on life which allows us to see its overall pattern. Reach for whatever you consider to be the Gods on a day like today….stretch upwards and outwards, and attempt to consciously make contact with the Higher Powers of our Universe. Try to get a broader perspective on the whole idea of life….. And allow your tensions to slide away, minimised by the grand view you are able to achieve!

Elements of the Psychic World
Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: A box or confined space thought to attract, store and release spiritual forces, enabling a medium to produce phenomena. The use of cabinets to manifest paranormal activity began in the mid-1800s with the Davenport brothers. The brothers had themselves bound and locked in a wooden cabinet, where they were supposedly incapable of moving, but somehow musical instruments would play as if guided by spirit hands. Their act was a huge success, and until the early twentieth century cabinets or black curtains for the medium to retire behind were all the rage. Cabinets are rarely used by modern mediums.

Reversed Cards: The Six of Swords card is often referred to as the card that makes the crossing through the underworld, or, to put it another way, the journey of the dead. What in your life is now dead? Perhaps a relationship is done with. Maybe your idea or goal is better sent far, far away. Or maybe you are the one hanging on to something that is desperate to get away! In the shadow aspect of this card, you are being asked to explore your resistance to a current situation, problem, or conflict. Why are you dragging it out, and what reason do you have to stop the natural flow of beginnings and endings?

Reversed Cards: There are many ways to engage with the ideas, lessons, and steps the major arcana give us. We can seek someone in the tarot court for guidance and assistance. We can find out who we are amongst the court cards. Or perhaps the court cards can show us who we need to be, whose shoes we need to step into, to fully realize the lesson, wisdom, and guidance of the major arcana cards.

Reiki and Archangels: I do Angel Card Readings every single day to receive guidance for my personal growth. For a period in time, I kept drawing the card of Archangel Metatron. This card asked me to clear my chakras with his help. I did not take this guidance seriously and kept putting off working with Archangel Metatron for several days. But like all card readers would know, you keep drawing the same cards until you follow the guidance being given to you. I drew the card so many times that I finally decided to work with this mighty Archangel.
