    The Rider Waite Tarot The Seven’s

    Sevens awaken desire within us. We all understand that there is a higher purpose to existence. Sevens dangle this in front of you, tempting you to pursue a goal, to follow your dream. Sevens know that in the process of doing so, you could become all that you can be and might even change your mind about what it is you should be pursuing. Sevens indicate the wait for something we imagine. This number also represents a coming delivery of what we were waiting for — even if it is not quite what we thought it was. The Four Sevens in the Tarot represent challenges and obstacles that must be overcome in order to achieve aims or goals.

    The Rider Waite Tarot Suit of Cups

    The Suit of Cups deals with the emotional level of consciousness and is associated with love, feelings, relationships and connections. Cups are about displays of emotion, expression of feelings and the role of emotions in relation to others. The Cups Tarot cards indicate that you are thinking with your heart rather than your head, and thus reflect your spontaneous responses and your habitual reactions to situations. Cups are also linked to creativity, romanticism, fantasy and imagination. The negative aspects of the Suit of Cups (i.e. when the Cups cards appear reversed) include being overly emotional or completely disengaged and dispassionate, having unrealistic expectations and fantasising about what could be. There may be repressed emotions, an inability to truly express oneself and a lack of creativity. The Suit of Cups traditionally represents the west and autumn. If using an ordinary deck of playing cards, Cups are represented by the Suit of Hearts.

    The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck is the most popular and widely used tarot card deck in the world, printed from plates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. Full of symbolism and deeper meanings, Arthur E. Waite, the intellectual father of the Rider Waite deck, commented that ‘the true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.’

    Complete Book of Tarot
    Book Details

    Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Seven of Cups highlights the importance of sentiments and images that come to mind during moments of reflection and contemplation. Such imaginings may reveal our wildest desires but they may not be grounded in reality. Many possibilities seem available, making it difficult to decide which path to follow. At some point we must stop daydreaming, soberly assess our options, and make hard choices. Otherwise we risk wandering in a state of confusion or unreality, like the fictional character Walter Mitty.

    Complete Book of Tarot: In Llewellyn’s Classic Tarot, a hand emerges from a cloud on the left-hand side of the card, holding a golden coin upright in the light blue sky. The hand encircles the upper part of the chalice with its thumb facing the viewer. On its surface the golden coin features a pentacle, often used as a talisman in ritual magic. The five points of the pentacle are associated with the five points of the human body (the head and four limbs) and with the classical five senses (touch, sight, taste, smell, and hearing). People characterized by the suit of Coins or Pentacles tend to be grounded in material reality but may have difficulty making contact with their sixth sense of intuition.

    Portable Magic: Golden Dawn: The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was a secret Rosicrucian society founded in London in 1888 by three Freemasons for the purpose of studying, teaching, preserving, and practicing ritual magic in the Western tradition.
