Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

You may finally let go of a long, deeply held spiritual belief that has actually been standing in your way. Again, you must be careful where you put your trust in terms of spiritual leaders who may seem to have your best interests at heart but who may actually be looking only to line their pockets. You make a break from the past. This is actually a good thing, although it may be somewhat painful.

Book Details
Portable Magic: As you can see, Tetragrammaton has two letters that are the same, but they are treated differently based on their position in the divine name, and receive different elements. There is a mystery here that repays meditation. The divine name has both three letters, yet at the same time four letters. Keep this in mind when reflecting that the elements are threefold, when considering only the higher spiritual side of the elements represented in the trumps, yet fourfold, when considering the lower earthly expression of the elements represented by the suits.

Reversed Cards: I like to think of the Ten of Swords in the shadow aspect as the ‘death of the ego’ card, the end of the constant chatter of the monkey mind as one is finally liberated into a more enlightened state. This, however, can be scary. Who are we when the ego-self is no longer in charge of telling us who we are? If this card has come up in a reading, it is time to think about how much the ego has defined who you are and what you have become. Perhaps even do some journal work about the you that could be created once the ego stops labeling you and making you fit into an uncomfortable box.

Portable Magic: Another departure from the Golden Dawn correspondences that I have used with success for many years involves the location of the four suits on the four directions of the compass. I made this change earlier than my modifications to the trumps, not long after I began the practice of ritual magic. It is described and justified in my first book, The New Magus, and in the expanded edition of that work, Nau Millennium Magic. The change is simple enough to describe. In the Golden Dawn correspondences for the Tarot, the suit of Swords and its element Air are linked to the east, and the suit of Pentacles and its element Earth are linked to the north. In my personal system of magic, I invert these locations for the suits. Wands and Fire I leave in the south, and Cups and Water I leave in the west, as they are in the Golden Dawn system.
