Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

You are very much concerned with spirituality now (even if you don’t have anything approximating a ‘traditional’ religious belief. Make regular time, even if you don’t attend a ‘traditional’ house of worship – to quiet yourself and allow your spirit some time to expand. What matters here is the regularity of it – whether it’s daily, weekly; whatever you can make time for. You will see changes in your life and outlook as a result of giving yourself this time.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Portable Magic
Book Details
Portable Magic: Elements: An ancient system that divides the substances of the earthly sphere into four recognized qualities called Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. The elements resemble in their natures and actions the physical substances that give them their names, but they are underlying principles, not the actual substances. Until the age of science, it was believed that everything was composed of a mixture of the four elements. All four elements are located in the sphere of the Earth, but the three more active elements, Fire, Air, and Water, also possess higher or more spiritual aspects that are represented in classical models of the universe as bands or zones just above the Earth, yet below the lowest of the heavenly spheres, that of the Moon. In the Tarot, the four suits represent the four lower tangible elements of the earthly sphere, and the three trumps the Fool, the Hanged Man, and Judgement represent the active, spiritual aspects of Air, Water, and Fire. The element Earth has no higher aspect.

Portable Magic: This is the most radical change I have made to the correspondences, and is apt to be the most controversial. The question may be asked by misogynists, ‘How can a woman come first, before a man?’ Yet it will be noted that the Empress precedes the Emperor, and that a symmetry is created in the two pairs of trumps High Priestess followed by Magician, and Empress followed by Emperor. The High Priestess does not actually assume the head of the trumps by this change of position, even though she is numbered I. That post is filled by the Fool, numbered 0, so a man still heads the trumps in an overt sense, even though esoterically the Fool is held to be sexually androgynous. We get the androgynous Fool, followed by the female High Priestess, then her natural mate the male Magician, then the female Empress, followed by her natural mate the male Emperor, followed by the androgynous Hierophant.

Portable Magic: Symbol: Something that stands for something else. Usually a symbol is a simple thing that represents something more subtle and complex. For example, the symbol of the sword represents the suit of Swords in the Tarot, and the element Air. The symbol of the circle represents a magical barrier that encloses a sacred space.

Portable Magic: The fifty-six cards of the Lesser Arcana are divided into four suits in a way similar to ordinary playing cards. Indeed, there can be little doubt that the Lesser Arcana is derived from playing cards, which had been widely employed for gaming purposes in Europe
