When the Lord of Truce appears he brings with him a temporary respite, often after we have passed through trying times. This is a quiet period, which should be used to recover, regroup and stabilise. It’s important though, that we always bear in mind the fact that this is only a moment in time. Soon we shall be required to pick up the tools of life and continue on our journey. So on a day ruled by him, we’re well advised to use the internal stillness he brings to think over trouble spots, or areas of difficulty. That way we see the whole issue more clearly, and are better equipped to sally forth undaunted when the time comes. Occasionally on a day ruled by the 4 of Swords there will be a requirement to bury the hatchet with somebody, or to accept their gestures of friendliness toward us. It’s important that we are reserved both in what we are prepared to offer, and what we are prepared to forgive. Truce only marks the cessation of hostilities – a brief pause during which we might negotiate a lasting peace.

The one thing this card always tells us is that we have not yet finished our business here. If we fail to hold this in the forefront of our minds, we are likely to make the mistake of being unprepared for whatever comes next. So – on this day – rest as easy as you can, and locate areas of challenge, difficulty or sensitivity for future attention. Think carefully about trying to resolve anything until the influences are more supportive. In readings, the Four of Swords is often a sign that you need to slow down and get some rest. If you are recovering from an illness, allow yourself quiet time to heal. Even if you feel completely healthy, you are risking getting sick if you don’t take a break.

Elements of the Psychic World
Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Polarity therapy works with the Human Energy Field, electromagnetic patterns expressed in mental, emotional and physical experience. Health is viewed as a reflection of the condition of the energy field, and therapeutic methods are designed to balance the field for the benefit of health. Like any energy field, energy can become positive or negative and polarity therapy seeks to balance this through an exchange between giver and receiver during a session. There are four ways to balance body energy: triggering chakra points on the body with a light touch; stretching exercises; dietary changes; and mental; emotional balancing exercises.

Portable Magic: with enough cards a point is reached when it collapses into chaos. Three cards of realization are about the maximum that can be used effectively. It is impossible to hold three cards in the mind at once, but they can be considered successively, as a series of actions leading to the final achievement of the ritual purpose.

Portable Magic: These Tarot charms have the advantage over conventional charms in that they cost nothing in materials since you already have a deck of Tarot cards, they do not require you to obtain or gather obscure substiles for the composition of the charm, and they can be assembled and charged in a brief time with no preparation. If you wish, you can make or buy a folder such as a small wallet specifically for holding and carrying Tarot charms. Something such as a rigid cigarette case would give the cards of the charm added protection from accidental damage. However, a plain paper envelope will serve the same purpose just as well, provided you take care not to bend or otherwise damage the cards.

Tarot Triumphs: Take note of what equipment is in the cards. There are plenty of implements: jugs, staffs, shields, a book, a knife, wheels, a wand, an arrow, and so on. What are they all for? What’s their function? It might sound simple, but if you discern the intrinsic nature of a tool or instrument, you may understand more about its purpose and place in the card. Is it for support, for cutting through, for balancing, for directing, or for containing, perhaps? Keep in mind that the appearance of each item may differ in other Tarot decks. What is important is to get to the principle and purpose of the implement or object.
