The Lord of Debauch is one of those warning cards that we must always take seriously when we come under his influence. Without fail, when he appears we must expect to be subjected to some kind of temptation or test. We must be on our guard for making the exact mistake that he tells us is possible. Temptations come in many shapes and forms, don’t they? Some of these are minor, and others much more serious. The 7 of Cups deals primarily with sensual pleasures….sex, food, money, status. Sometimes, the card indicates that we are surrounded by a multitude of different pleasures, and cannot quite make our minds up which ones to choose, out of the many available to us. In so doing, we miss the boat altogether and end up with nothing. Or, alternatively, we greedily snatch at everything we see, possibly missing the real treasure that is waiting for us to notice it.

Greed, triviality, surrender of moral ethics are the big problems when this card appears. We must guard firmly against any of these things, holding hard to our sense of love and goodness. On a day ruled by this card, you need to keep a sharp eye open for all of the above. Also try to monitor your reactions and responses to others – another way we can give in to the Lord of Debauch is to treat another human being in a way we wouldn’t wish to be treated ourselves. If your irritability quotient goes up, spend some time with yourself working out why, and then deal with it. That way you won’t snap the heads off the people you love. If you feel impatient and frustrated, again, work out why…..then go and satisfy yourself. On the high spiritual level, this is a day where forgetting what you believe in will accrue some debt unnecessarily. Be alert for tests of your belief, strong in your love, and bright in your life. That way you should pass the test!!

Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: French materialization medium Marthe Béraud (1886-?), better known by her pseudonym Eva C, allegedly materialized the Indian Brahman Bien Boa. Photographs reveal Boa to be a tall, bearded man who wore a monk’s habit and bore no resemblance at all to Béraud. Unfortunately doubt was cast over Boa’s authenticity when a family friend came forward suggesting that Béraud herself had confessed to fraud by smuggling in an impersonator via a trap

Creative Tarot: This is a card of many choices. And yet it is unclear if the cups contain what they seem to. Are the jewels real or fake? Is the snake poisonous or perhaps a symbol of the goddess, here to grant wisdom? The figure could be delusional, imagining things that are not really there. Or there could be so many options, but with uncertain outcomes, that he is in a state of indecision. The Seven of Cups requires a little clarity for delusion to be set aside and reason to take over.

Tarot Triumphs: So let us now step back in time to witness a spectacle of Tarot Triumphs moving through a city street in fifteenth-century Italy. Our procession happens in the hours of darkness, which accords with how some of these spectacles were presented, and for us it intensifies the vision of the Tarot scenes as they pass by, portrayed as characters and tableaux.

Reversed Cards: The Chariot is the card we look to for movement, progress, and motion. The power of the seven is also the reason we look to the chariot for when to slow down, when to stand still, and when to rest, and recover. The seven and the Chariot are great teachers, long-term masters and forever students. For seven there is always something to learn, and for the Chariot there is always another way to ride the wave of the universe. Here in the reverse position, movement can be stifled, confused, and oftentimes nonexistent. The seven, however, will still be there to teach, learn, and continue its research into the ways of the ever-moving universe.
