When the Lord of Swiftness comes up in a reading, it shows that there is an energy available which will break down obstacles, move restrictions and allow the free flow of power in any situation you direct it toward. Often there will have been problems which refuse to yield to any reasonable solution previously attempted. However on a day ruled by the 8 of Wands even the most intractable and stubborn difficulties will simply fall away when the downrush of power is felt from this card. Accordingly, on an 8 of Wands day, go looking for problems! Try to locate those things – whether major or minor, that have refused resolution till now. When you find something that seems applicable, sit down for a few minutes and mentally walk around the obstacle, trying to get a new perspective on it.

This thinking period is important, because when this card rules, there is rapid and swift communication – either intuitively or in real terms, which allows you to see a way through the maze of complications that can build up around the most mundane of tasks. Expect, during your period of contemplation, to see new possibilities for solving the problem. Wait for the out-of-the-blue thought that strikes you as though from nowhere. When you discover it, try it out, no matter how outlandish it may at first appear. Be open to what life tells you – not as a result of seeking advice, but as a spontaneous offering from the people around you. When we leave ourselves open for the Universe to convey its thoughts to us, they can arrive from the most unexpected sources! Be prepared to consider any options offered to you obliquely – don’t take them at face value; try to turn them into applications for the matter you are attempting to resolve. And allow your sense of humour full rein – you need a light-hearted attitude to get the best out of this card. You’ll be amazed at the things you will get done on a day ruled by the Lord of Swiftness.

Elements of the Psychic World
Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Music therapy, which focuses on the areas of pain relief and stress reduction, enjoyed a revival in the late twentieth century largely due to the work of violinist Helen L Bonny, whose book Music and Your Health (1973) was the first in a series of books and features on the health effects of music.

Portable Magic: with a specific occult potential, in much the same way a battery is charged with electrical potential, so that if and when the charm is needed, its accumulated power will flow forth to accomplish its function. The procedure is the same; only the intention is different. The cards of the charm, placed as realizers on the triangle, embody the purpose, which is the creation of a particular kind of charm. They are held in the mind during the final phase of the ritual when energy is sent lancing into the triangle to open the gateway of the Fool. The reflux of occult energy from the level of universal spirit expresses itself by energizing the cards of the charm, rather than by accomplishing some other specific task.

Portable Magic: These modifications to the Golden Dawn system have been described here for the benefit of any reader who may wish to experiment with Tarot magic using my own set of correspondences. I would suggest that you only do this after you have completely understood and memorized the Golden Dawn correspondences for the Tarot. It is essential to know the Golden Dawn correspondences perfectly, because they are the standard in modern Western occultism, much more widely used and more highly regarded than any other system. Once you know the Golden Dawn esoteric associations for the Trumps and suit cards, you can if you wish try out my changes to see whether the modifications suit your needs.

Tarot Triumphs: As the color range varies in different decks, we can’t analyze its significance or consider it to be an intrinsic part of each Tarot Triumph. Nevertheless, color is an important trigger in helping us to link to the cards. In your pack of cards, what do you think about the combinations of color? Which colors dominate, and which are used sparingly? Do you have another pack to compare them with?
