Your Chosen Card – Nine of Swords Upright Golden Deck

When upright, this card represents anguish of mind. Sometimes you feel so bad that youd like to run off to a sheltered refuge and cloister yourself like a monk or a nun. Worrisome thoughts may be keeping you up at night or having a negative effect on your health. Perhaps you have felt the sting of harsh words from a loved one (warlike Mars in mental Gemini), or you fear an impending split or separation in a relationship.

According to author Amber Jayanti, this card reflects ‘how painful it can be to let go of what you want and accept what is.’ 42

Tarot Books

Complete Book of Tarot: The Golden Dawn bases its system on the correspondences between the court cards and the Tetragrammaton YahvehYod, Heh, Vav, Hehthe four Hebrew letters in the name of the deity. The accompanying table illustrates these associations.

Portable Magic: In Western magic, the Sephiroth are usually shown as circles that are intended to represent spheres arranged on a symbolic design generally known as the Tree of Life, which was of key importance in the Golden Dawn system of magic. The Tree of Life has had numerous forms over the course of its evolution, but the pattern adopted by the Golden Dawn is that of Athanasius Kircher. The Golden Dawn Tree does not reproduce the Tree of Kircher in all its minor details, but the overall structure is the same. It is composed of three columns. The central column is balanced in its properties and is called the Middle Pillar. The right column is the Pillar of Mercy, and it is of a masculine, expansive nature. The left column is the Pillar of Severity, and has a feminine, restrictive nature. There are four Sephiroth on the Middle Pillar, three on the Pillar of Mercy, and three on the Pillar of Severity.
