The Four of Primordialism is a card about wishful thinking. It warns us to remember to pay attention to what ‘is’ now, and the many blessings we each currently experience, and not to worry too much about ‘what could be.’ It is all too easy to overlook what we already have in the pursuit of what we don’t have.

Book Details
Portable Magic: Nor is it necessary to lay the cards out in a large circle within which the magician stands and works. This is one possible use for the cards. I have myself employed it in rituals and it can be effective, but to think only in these terms limits the versatility of Tarot magic. Just as a group of cards can represent the true magic circle on the astral level, so can a single card, carefully chosen, represent and embody the magician. The ring of cards defining the circle need then be only large enough to contain the card of the magician and any other symbolic tools used in the circle. This allows Tarot magic to be worked on a table top or similar convenient surface. A ritual chamber is unnecessary because the deck of cards becomes the ritual chamber.

Reversed Cards: It is not surprising that a card that has the ability to bring light to the darkness is ruled by the sun. Yes, the Strength card is aligned to the noble and prideful sign of Leo and ruled by the burning nature of the sun, hence its ability to flare up when it becomes overwhelmed. Here in the retrograde aspect, the sun asks you to consider your life force energy. It wants you to think about how suffering or non-fortitude drains you and how strength or fortitude fills you up. When we carry around anger, resentment, shame, guilt, and hopelessness, we are constantly drained of energy, for we flare and burn out. It is like a cycle of constant exhaustion and overwhelm. Yet when we fill our minds and hearts with compassion, possibility, and love, we seem to have an untapped fountain of life force energy that allows us to get through any and all difficulties. If you have gotten this card in a reading, check the cards around it to see what clues you have to what could be draining your energy and your light. Then look for cards that show things that fill you up. Choose to start focusing on the cards that fill you up. This doesn’t mean you deny bad shit happens; it just means you choose to harness your energy for other resolutions, purposes, and stability instead. Because, just like the sun, you too have a copious amount of energy at your disposal. But you have to tap into it and stay tapped into it.

Tarot Triumphs: My acquaintance with the Tarot began in 1968. I was nineteen years old, a student at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and I had come to America for the summer vacation. Several of us had flown in for a three-month idyll of free rock concerts and hanging out in the sunshine. But it was the year after the Summer of Love, and the culture that had seemed so innocent then now began to take on a more sinister tone, with riots in Chicago and bad LSD trips beginning to take their toll on the flower power generation. I soon realized too that our student habits of wearing long hair and vintage clothing, considered harmless British eccentricities at home, antagonized the more conventional side of American society. I thought I was streetwise after teenage years in Birmingham and a year of counterculture in Cambridge, but it was a rude awakening. We had tear gas thrown at us on the streets of Berkeley, and we were hauled off to the police station for fingerprinting in Reno. Then, in Mexico, I was involved in a terrifying car accident in which I thought I was going to die. I had only minor injuries, but the experience was a profound shock that changed my way of thinking forever. I could not go on just drifting along on the stream; I needed to address the big questions of what life is about.
