This card is primarily about having a fascination and enthusiasm with the whole life process – delighting in the moment, observing both your surroundings and yourself on a minute by minute basis, engaging with life to the best of your abilities. We can often get distracted from taking proper notice of life….if we are worried, busy, stressed, rushed…it becomes all too easy to forget that our very existence is a miracle. We stop noticing beauty or joy…… we lose our ability to be both delighted and surprised at life. And this is a desperate shame, for life can become a constant and ever-changing flow of miracles, excitement and exhilaration. All that is required here is that we agree to allow it…and then pay right attention.

Right attention is a challenging skill to develop, but the effort invested pays enormous dividends once you have practised enough for this to become a habit. It means placing your attention in the moment, and then holding it there. By doing this you become infinitely aware, seeing, hearing and feeling things that would have otherwise slipped by unnoticed. So…on a day ruled by Lust or Strength, we must learn to work at our ability to pay attention to and enjoy life. Try this exercise – it will take about ten minutes (or more if you want it to): Sit down somewhere comfortably. Smooth and calm your breathing. Now first pay attention to your body…what does it tell you? Once you have attended to its needs, spread your attention out further….. deliberately engage one sense at a time. What do you see? Look in minute detail – you know you’ve got it right when you notice things you didn’t know were there before. Now add hearing. What do you hear? Really listen hard……again when you hear things you would not normally register, you’re doing well. What do you feel? See this as both a physical ‘feel’ and an emotional ‘feel’, then separate the two. What can you taste? How does your mouth feel? What do you smell? Can you unwind the different scents in the air? Now put all of that together and trying doing all five things at once! When you’ve mastered that one, you can always throw in the final sense…..what are you hearing at the psychic level? What do you feel of the unseen dimension beyond the one in which you now sit.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Development for Beginners
Book Details
Development for Beginners: Step 6: Using the present tense, say your goal out loud. For example, ‘My telepathic abilities are at the optimal level,’ or ‘I got promoted at work’ – not all of your goals have to relate specifically to the development of your psychic abilities.

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, Strength implies that you may need to muster the courage to confront your difficulties. Perhaps you are feeling fearful or hopeless in the face of powerful instinctual desires you imagine are beyond your control. On the other hand, you may have gone overboard in trying to win admiration for how attractive or sexually adept you are, causing others to experience you as domineering, vain, self-aggrandizing, or controlling.

Tarot for Beginners: Eventually, the Tarot came to interest British occultists of the 19th and early 20th centuries, who were influenced by the ideas of the French. In particular, the cards interested members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an organization that heavily influenced modern occultism in many ways.
