Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

This is not a time to try to hold on to things, ideas, situations, or people which may have run their course in your life. You must make room in your life/heart/emotions/spirit for new things to come to you. Time alone will be helpful. Have you done all the healing that you need to do? The answers you seek are within you, although you may need help to bring them to the surface. Talk with someone you trust.

Book Details
Portable Magic: Red is the color of Wands and Fire. Blue is the color of Cups and Water. Yellow is the color of Swords and Air. Green is the color of Pentacles and Earth. The yellow of Air should be thought of as deep and rich, much darker than the pale gold of spiritual radiance. The primary Golden Dawn color for Earth is black, but black is not very workable as a color for beams of light during rituals, so I prefer to use a deep green for Earth. This is acceptable because the Golden Dawn acknowledged four color for elemental Earth vitrine, russet, olive, and sable.

Reversed Cards: The Three of Swords in the shadow aspect could very well be a warning card. This card could be telling you that you are responsible for someone else’s grief and misery. You may not have done this intentionally, though the shadow aspect does hint to some level of awareness on your behalf. We are all guilty of wishing someone ill, just as we are all guilty of saying things we know we really shouldn’t say. The point here is that this sort of negativity has a huge vortex of pain, misery, and grief around it. And if you are creating it, it will show up in your life as well. Remember, what goes out also comes in. The shadow aspect of this card is letting you know that you may be on the receiving end of your own intentional negativity.

Portable Magic: The effectiveness of the cards as instruments of divination has been proven countless times over the past two hundred years. Occultists who have studied them are in agreement that they perpetuate in their structure an esoteric model of the universe that has great utility in tying together many diverse threads of magic, myth, and philosophy. It is my own personal assertion, based on three decades of experiment, that the Tarot is equally potent as an instrument of practical ritual magic. It origins, be they ancient or modern, sacred or mundane, cannot diminish the meaning of the cards or deprive them of their power.

Portable Magic: The number of cards used to compose a charm should be limited for the sake of simplicity and purity of result. Too many cards will conflict with each other, and weaken the working of the charm. One is a good number for a charm, as is three. More than three cards is not a good idea, except for the inclusion of a significator, which does not bear on the number of realizers that make up the charm. A significator included in the charm can be useful in focusing and limiting the action of the charm on an individual, when the charm is deliberately created for the benefit of a single person, or to affect only a single person. Some charms are general, others specific. A general charm does not require a significator, but a charm made for one person can be more narrowly focused if a significator representing that person is included in the charm.
