Bohemian Gothic - 4 Pentacles

Well just look at this image, she's almost scary! Everything about her is over the top. Too many jewels, too much make up, get a look at that beauty spot! Look where she lives, in that big expensive castle. She definitely has a look about her that says, "if you think I'm going to give you anything, WELL you can think again!"

Karen Mahony says

"she may also remind us of the horrendous Madam Crowl, the wizened old "belle dame sans merci" of Le Fanu's Madam Crowl's Ghost - who begins as a great beauty but through her own greed and heartless cruelty becomes perverted and horrifying in old age."

The Four of Pentacles traditionally can mean two things really, either one tries to hang on to their wealth, whether it be knowledge, money, skills, and forgets that it is in the using of this wealth that the greatest rewards are found. Or the other can be that one is building wealth, creating a foundation from which to go forward.

The darker meaning for this card could lean towards accumulating wealth, regardless of those around you. It could be saying that you focus too much on the material side of life. This is an image that seems to convey to me, that one lives for money rather that having money to live.

Just look at the way she is dressed, as I said before,she's over the top. There is an immoderation about her and it suggests that one needs to know when enough is enough, before becoming consumed with the idea of what you have determines who you are. Rather than knowing it is what you do with what you have, that really determines who you are.

The thing to remember about the pentacle cards is its symbolism of money, and money itself is worth absolutely nothing, it's what you do with it that gives it worth.

Still I don't think I'd want to meet her on a dark night :o

Deviant Moon - Devil

The very first thing this image reminded me of was of Chernabog a fictional character who appears in "Night on Bald Mountain" segment of Walt Disney's Fantasia (1940). This fictional character was supposed to be a nocturnal demon who held the power of restless souls.



Anyway, when I look at the Deviant Moon Devil I hear the music from Night on Bald Mountain and see Chernabog conducting and controlling the souls in some sort of frenzied dance. :(



Patrick writes in the LWB that accompanies this deck;

Standing on a volcanic globe, the devil dances in delight over the havoc he has caused in the city. Once a beautiful angel, he now roams the dark depths of men's hearts and binds their souls to his own.

This Devil's skin is the hot colour red, showing action and purpose. It's the colour of fire and blood, linked to the life force. It shows all of his power, might and forcefulness. I notice how his horns stand out in white, horns are said to represent according to Pictures from the Heart, " strength, the inner aggressive and instinctional force." Couple with the red of action and purpose, it shows us that the Devil is determined to draw out those baser instincts in us and keep us tied to them. Notice those almost claw like hands and feet, long spidery fingers and toes, so easy to wrap around you and keep hold - but are they very strong is the question that comes to mind?


Wings especially angel wings usually represent higher qualities and freedom from those baser instincts, but these wings are grey, a colour that is midway between black and white. Does this then symbolise for us that there is some part of this Devil that still wants to get the message of balance over, of maybe integrating the baser instincts in with the higher ones? Perhaps he is here in a role that really involves saving yourself from yourself.


What the Devil, do I hear you say? :D


"He dances upon a volcanic globe," this must symbolise for us a world that erupts violently. He dances to the tune that creates havoc in one's life. But perhaps he really is here with those white horns - white being a colour that represents light, illumination, reflection, to get you to face your shadow side, acknowledge and take full responsibility for your actions.


The Devil here is willing to tempt, he has no concern for anyone, only his own interests. He represents those things which are excessive, selfish and obsessional that keeps one in bondage.


But if you can face up to your shadow side and take full responsibility for yourselves, He says I will let you go - the choice is yours!' This Devil wants you to play, he is not telling you it is wrong to have these desires, just reminding you that if you can control those desires in a responsible way, you achieve the balance that is needed.


The Devil is undoubtedly a card about meeting one's needs and wants without any consideration for the consequences. When it turns up the choice is always your own. Will you be controlled and dance to his frenzied tune, or will you hear the music and integrate it into a rhythm that flows harmoniously with your life.

Card: Deviant Moon by Patrick Valenza

Quote from Pictures from the Heart by Sandra A. Thomson

Bohemian Gothic - King of Cups

Karen Mahony describes this card best:

Nosferatu gazes longingly, almost tenderly, at a beautiful young woman who stands, oblivious to him, at her window. We tend to think of the predatory sides of the vampire, but there is also another aspect, that of a lonely man who has become a monster and is now cut off from all life and, most tellingly for all, from love and affection.

She goes on to tell us that Count Dracula might long for the love of a woman and this is what makes him most vulnerable to being destroyed. She tells us in this scene we are looking at, he allows himself to be tricked into believing that he is loved and so he stays too long and is a victim of the dawn.

This King of Cups card does illustrate how he has managed to keep his emotions under control, but at the same time he can be unpredictable and changeable in his moods. This says that he can at times be a danger to himself and to others.

The message in this card is about suppressing the creativity within one's self and the urge to escape from the duty and the mundane in order to experience the freedom of emotions. Yet it also speaks of control and doing what is necessary in order to achieve the outcome desired.

Darker meanings for this card, well, he is a vampire and perhaps believing he can be loved really suggests that one is trying to put aside a less acceptable way of living.
Or even maybe symbolises someone who is trying to appear to be what they are not.

It could also signify someone who desperately wants to have or be involved in a love relationship, even longs for that type of commitment and yet within themselves lurks a baser instinct, a lust that they are afraid they cannot control.

If we were to relate this to a person in a non love/relationship way, maybe it would be someone who has to give something up that he has dreamed of for the more mundane and practical aspects of life. How frustrating could that be?

This King of Cups image is so very different from the traditional RW one and does seem to relate mainly to love and relationships and raises questions about why he is allowing himself to become the victim - as in dying in the dawn. How volatile are those emotions he keeps repressed?

Now I must go check if there's some garlic in the house. ;)

Eight of Wands

Astrological associations for the Minor Arcana cards typically involve both a planet and a zodiac sign. The attributions established by the Order of the Golden Dawn (OGD) are by far the most commonly used. However, some Tarot decks use a different set of associations. As a professional astrologer, I find it interesting to compare and contrast these associations from deck to deck. The use of astrological associations with Tarot is completely up to the reader. This is merely intended to be interesting and fun.

Yay! I finally found time to do a bit of exploration into the astrological implications of the EIGHT OF WANDS!

Thoth Tarot by Aleister Crowley
For Crowley (and the OGD), the Eight of Wands represents the energy of Mercury (planet of the mind and communication) and the zodiac sign Sagittarius. Crowley titles the card "Swiftness." The astrological association makes sense in several ways. For one thing, Mercury (named after the speedy messenger god) is the fastest planet in our solar system. Sagittarius is a Fire sign, and Fire signs are known for high energy and impulsiveness -- tending to act and react quickly in nearly any situation. Hajo Banzhaf and Brigitte Theler (in Keywords for the Crowley Tarot) describe the energy of the card as: "Confident, farsighted, hopeful (Sagittarius); thinking and perceiving (Mercury)."

One World Tarot by Crystal Love
Crystal Love associates the Eight of Batons with the first subdivision of the sign Sagittarius, with Jupiter as the natural ruler and Mercury as the subruler. She writes: "The fortunate and creative sign of Sagittarius is here given the quick intellect of Mercury. . . There will be much communication and travel, a quick intellect with great versatility and good judgment."

A.E. Thierens, PhD. (Astrology & the Tarot)
Thierens describes the Eight of Wands as having the energy of "Air on the Eighth house." This makes sense in that the Eight of Wands is the Eighth card in the suit of Wands. In astrology, the Eighth house is associated with the zodiac sign Scorpio, a Water sign ruled by Pluto and/or Mars (depending on which astrologer you talk to). Based on this association, Thierens describes the energy of the card thusly: "the influence of Scorpio will make the mind acute and sharp, so as to investigate and to examine the most hidden riddles, while in this house the mind comes to the sensation or consciousness of pleasure and pain, thirst and drinking. . . As to swift or speedy messages, this may sometimes happen, because the Scorpion is sometimes very sudden in its movements." Keywords include examination, interrogation, quick response, searchers for the hidden side of things, poetry, music and sculpture, sex questions. (Note: The system devised by Thierens is radically different from that of the OGD. I will not go into detail here, but will simply provide the astrological associations for the card under discussion. If you are interested in learning more about this system, I recommend the book referenced above.)

The Mandala Astrological Tarot by A.T. Mann
Like the OGD, Mann's deck associates the suit of Wands with the element Fire. Mann describes Wands Eight, Nine, and Ten as "The Rainbows of Sagittarius." Wand Eight is assigned to the First Decan of Sagittarius -- Jupiter in Sagittarius. On the King Scale of Color, both Jupiter and Sagittarius are linked with the color blue. Mann's keywords for Jupiter are "idealism, vision, expansion, mania, success, popularity, religion." For the sign Sagittarius, his keywords are "hibernation; advent; the inner life; meditation; expansion; realization; aspiration; higher mind; religion and philosophy; sport; freedom; rebirth."

The Whispering Tarot by Liz Hazel
Liz Hazel's suit of Wands is the suit of the Fire element, embodying "ambition, vigor, creativity, travel, high spirits, and energy." Her use of the colors red, yellow, and orange is a lot more subtle than what we see in some of the other cards in this set. Like most of the others in this discussion, Hazel associates the Eight of Wands with Mercury/Sagittarius. In her excellent book Tarot Decoded, Hazel notes that in astrology, Mercury "represents the conscious mind and cycles of awareness and perception. . . teaching and learning, the ability to perceive and understand, and the capacity for thinking and intuiting." In the Eight of Wands, Mercury can bring "good news, exciting messages. . . a swift and penetrating intellect, clever solutions, high spirits and a happy heart" as well as "nervous energy. . . practical jokes that cause humiliation. . . too many deadlines all at once."

The sense of swiftness and quick progression toward a goal that I get from the Eight of Wands across a wide range of decks seems like an excellent match for the energy of Mercury and Sagittarius (and Jupiter through its rulership of Sagittarius). Thierens offers an interesting comment about Scorpio, which is not a sign I normally associate with quickness (I think of Scorpio as being more contemplative and brooding) -- the Scorpion can and does strike quickly!

I welcome your comments!

Opposite Point of View - Hanged Man

I just recently commented on this card in a discussion thread on AT, the question was about the HM rx so I thought I would share some of my comments about this card with you in this post.

The first thought that comes to mind when I see the HM upright is stasis, so when I look at this card from the opposite point of view, he looks like his hair is on fire and his face is focused and is raring to go! Perhaps this is saying that he is ready to move forward and has woken up to his situation and the course of action he can or needs to take.

I look at the leaves that normally hang down in the upright position and see from this perspective, that they seem to be like green and fertile little bushes springing upwards. This could indicate that some growth has been made.

Now doesn't he look like he's jumping, for joy maybe? He reminds me a bit of one those Celtic dancers. Even more this way than the other way round, I notice the blue of his shirt and the red of his leggings, which suggests to me that he has reflected and now has the desire and passion to act.!

Another thought that occurred to me is that he looks so sure of himself, and this card in its positive position talks of seeing things in a different perspective. I wonder if this could be saying that one can become arrogant and only sees the situation one way or is unwilling to change their point of view.

Notice how his foot still appears to be tied to the branch even though he is making an attempt to jump above it, is he trying hard enough? Even though he may have reflected on his situation and has the desire to act, perhaps he is tied to his old way of thinking and cannot break free. Is he unable to stand on his own two feet? Or become totally individual and needs to be a part of something else? You know like a group, even if the group is not where he needs to be. This could indicated he does not totally accept himself. Is the sacrifice just too much - not to be one of the crowd?


Last be not least, because he is still tied to the structure, but does seem to be trying to free himself, it makes me think that he has started to make the transition but lacks a small part of the will power needed to break away completely. He could be fighting against the changes that are occurring because he has not fully surrendered himself to the idea yet.

ORACLE CARD

The oracle card I would like to share with you today is from Oracle of the Dragonfae by Lucy Cavendish. From the back of the "Magickal Guidebook" accompanying the deck: "Lucy Cavendish. . . is a classic book witch and adores writing, reading and creating enchanted workshop experiences. Lucy Cavendish currently lives in Sydney with her pixie-like daughter and the spirit of her beautiful labradoodle dog." Her website is www.lucycavendish.com.

The dedication in the front of the book reads: "For you. For having the courage to believe."

The card for today is The Blue Lady. Her motto is: "Nothing is impossible." Ms. Cavendish writes: "What is impossible to some is quite natural to her; she believes in infinite and precious possibilities, and allows what other declare impossible to come forth."

The message The Blue Lady brings to us is to trust and rely on the strength that is within us, to feed and support that strength, to give our dreams a chance. Others may try to diminish us, but we need to know that we can summon our inner courage to resist them. The courage offered by The Blue Lady does not involve armor or a shield or aggressive behavior. It is gentle and delicate -- yet it stays true to who it is and what it does.

As Ms. Cavendish puts it: "Small, powerful moments of courage create a life fully lived."

In addition to my 60 Tarot decks, I own a great many oracle decks. I love these decks, but don't use them as often as I would like. Every now and then, I am going to share a card from one of these oracle decks here on the blog. I hope people will enjoy seeing cards from various decks and will gain something from the interpretations of the cards!

A Walk in the World of Waite/Smith - Four of Wands

Esoteric Title: Lord of Perfected Work

Astrological Attribution: Venus in Aries

Elemental Attribution: Fire - Elemental Fire is hot and dry and its nature is energy.

Wands energy comes from the Fire element and is expressed through action,creativity and intuition.

Mr. Waite says of this card in The Pictorial Key to the Tarot:

From the four great staves planted in the foreground there is a great garland suspended; two female figures uplift nosegays; at their side is a bridge over a moat, leading to an old manorial house.

Divinatory Meanings: They are for once almost on the surface–country life, haven of refuge, a species of domestic harvest-home, repose, concord, harmony, prosperity, peace, and the perfected work of these.

Reversed: The meaning remains unaltered; it is prosperity, increase, felicity, beauty, embellishment.

What I think he is saying here is that this card represents the culmination of the hard work that has gone before and now it is time to celebrate those achievements.

Lets take a look at the symbolism in the card to help us interpret it better. First we have four wands that are free standing, planted firmly on the ground. This symbolises for us the structure that has been created. That which was thought about in the Two of Wands and set in motion in the Three has now come to fruition. Or in other words what has gone on in the previous cards now is manifested in the material world. Four is a number of stability, structure, security and material completion. This is just the first stage.

The two females with the posies, show us that this is a celebration. One wears red, a colour symbolising action, willpower, purpose. While the other wears a robe of white, the colour of illumination, purity and the process of reflection, but she also has a swag of material draped over her that is green and this could represent, expansion, growth and adaptability. It is interesting to note here that red and white are also considered alchemical colours.

* I note in this scan that the swag colour looks more like blue but the card in my hand is definitely green. :)

These four wands support a magnificent garland festooned with what looks like an abundance of fruit etc. This garland with its bountiful harvest may well symbolise fertility here. Also because the fruit it bears is ripe it could be indicating something that has been brought to completion, and that the time is right to enjoy it. There are two ribbons at each end of the garland tied into bows and this shows us that at this point everything that needs to be secured as been.

There is a definite feel in this card that some structure has been formed from which to embark on new and fresh opportunities.

There is a castle behind them and this can indicate the stability that has been achieved just now, along with the security they have gained. Castles can be seen as a building that protects and keeps you safe. But it can also serve to be a reminder of the goal, ambition etc. that one works towards.

This leads me on to the bridge just behind them, which could indicate another step into the next phase. The celebration in this card cannot last forever, the wands energy needs to keep moving on to that next creative endeavour.

There is a lot of yellow in this card and that signifies mental activity, so even though this card is about enjoying where you are at. It also is about reflecting on how you got where you are, and where you next would like to be.

I guess this card is often seen as a marriage card, because of its celebratory image and all that fertility! But I think one of the main messages in this card is about reaping rewards for the satisfactory completion of something that has been built up by putting those ideas into action along with the hard work to achieve it.


Karen Hamaker-Zondag in The Way of the Tarot offers us a psychological view point of Waite's card.

This card is always highly prized. You emerge dancing from the walled town, and an open and free atmosphere prevails. At first sight, there seems to be nothing of the twofold dualism that can belong to four. Yet bright and happy though this card may be, there is a snake hiding in the grass. Each four card warns us against getting set in our ways. The danger lies in the wish to cling to this state of openness and mirth, which then becomes superficial and false.

I think this is very often a point that is missed about this card, and that is, it is just a stepping stone to the next phase - it is just the first stage of completion. The wands energy is about action, creativity, and it needs to keep moving if it is to achieve its goals.

Card: Original Rider Waite.

Deviant Moon - The Tower

From the LWB


A lightening blast from the sky strikes the tower. Two sinners plummet to their death below as the structure falls to ruin.

This card does certainly illustrate an abrupt event. Notice that one of the figures is not falling but has fallen with the possibility of the brickwork falling on top of him! Well, that would bring about a severe change now wouldn't it!

I see no indication in this card of the possibility of rebuilding, more a question of getting out of the way I'd say. The Tower is brown and therefore seems to symbolise to me that which is of this world, tangible, also it could symbolise a lack of growth, stagnation - that's what may well be being torn apart here. The sky is dark and apart from the bolt of lightening there is no light in this card. Now maybe the bolt is the brightest to remind one here that sometimes, it is those things that come out of the blue, that force us to change in someway.

With this particular card I think the least one could expect is an upheaval

Card: Deviant Moon by Patrick Valenza

Justice & Judgement - more than just two J's

Justice and Judgement how do they connect?

The two J's of the deck, do you often look at them as I do and see their connection? The first connection I can make is that Justice at number 11 and Judgement at number 20 both reduce down to 2 - Hello High Priestess! That inner knowledge that exists in her, must I think, also be tied up with Justice and Judgement. But before I look any further lets take a look individually at Justice and Judgement and what they stand for in Tarot.

Justice number 11- My keywords for this card are; balance, wisdom, rational solutions.

It's a card that usually means it's time to weigh things up in a rational manner in order to find a fair and just solution.

Justice reflects I feel the power to act that is shown in the Magician card, coupled with the balance and inner knowledge that is demonstrated by the High Priestess. The Justice card then, is about making decisions based not on gut reaction, but by contemplation and objectivity. Now the decision you come to may well need you to be harsh or it could call upon you to be compassionate, liberal or tolerant. But what Justice does demand you to be, is honest and true to yourself.

Of course Justice can be applied to legalities and indicates a fair and just outcome. This would be applied if a legal question were being asked. But does that mean you will win your case? Not necessarily, all it means is that the right and fair conclusion will be reached.

What about applying the meaning of Justice personally to yourself? It is a card that asks you to look honestly and objectively at yourself in order to understand who you are and where you stand in life.

Justice is the card that brings to our attention that our life right at this moment, is a result of the choices and decisions we have made.

What Justice offers us is the opportunity to gain a more balanced view of how we have behaved in the past and how we have put obstacles in our own way, that have stunted our growth. And it is this realisation that Justice helps us achieve, that connects this card to Judgement.

Judgement number 20 - My keywords for this card are; renewal, transformation, new direction.

I like the depiction of Judgement showing an angel blowing its trumpet and people rising to the call, very often depicted as rising from coffins. I like to think of this as a person coming out of the darkness into the light. The coffins can often represent within their darkness, a life that is lived without meaning or understanding - mainly of the self.

Judgement can be a card about evaluating the past and summing up or forming conclusions. It's a card that says from this knowledge comes a new beginning.

Judgment in more general terms means a fresh start. Simply put, to move out of one thing and into another. As an example, you've been in that job too long. - This happened to me. I loathed my job and kept doing it, then one day I realised that this was soul destroying and left. Recognising what is best for you and moving out of the dark into the light, is an element of the Judgement card.

In Justice we are trying to balance things out, but by being objective and honest we come to realise what part it is, that we play in our own lives. Then we are ready for Judgement and can make that transition to a greater understanding of ourselves.

To me, Justice is connected to Judgement on the spiritual level. Justice gets us to ask those all important questions about ourselves and when we are completely honest, we answer that very last question and find the answer in Judgement when we move ourselves from one level of understanding to another. So here you see why I say that some of the High Priestess' inner knowledge is tied up with these two cards.









These two cards are definitely connected in more ways than just by the letter J. ;)

Deviant Moon - Eight of Swords

Well this card certainly does depict a nightmarish image. She hangs out of that window drawn by the Moon's pull and those eight swords await points upward ready should she fall. This is a very different image from the usual one of being trapped within a circle of swords, but it does show us the feeling of being helpless when dreams take over and our anxieties surface within them.

This again shows us the illusionary power of the Moon, how it can pull us in the direction of those fears and anxieties and allow them to surface out of the dark recesses of the mind and take us over. All those swords are point up in the active position showing how real this fear or worry seems to be.

The Moon itself does look deviant and the woman seems helpless to resist it. This is a card that talks about being controlled by something outside of oneself, but in reality it really comes from within. Swords are an Air Element and I would normally look at the Eight of Swords as relating to the power of the mind. This is a strong image in this card that seems to point towards one giving over their power to something else.

Patrick says of this card:

Bound by the trance of sleep, a woman is beckoned by the deviant moon. Eight swords threaten her from below as she is pulled from her window. The moon's influence over her dreams will soon come to an end, for daybreak is near.

Dawn does seem to be on the horizon and so perhaps the message in this card is about taking control again and freeing yourself up from what you really believe is restricting you - not believing that you are helpless and too weak to confront those thoughts that bring you those nightmares. All you have to do is wake up to yourself!

Because this card is showing night turning into day it may also be indicating here a repetitive thought pattern and a need to break that cycle.

Eights in the Tarot sequence have come to represent for me movement, power, decisions and gaining control, as this is following on from the 7, it may just indicate that one needs to re-establish a stronger line of thought, one that is more well balanced.

Still when I look at this card in this deck, I do get the overall feeling those fearful thoughts have taken over and trapped the person into a form of behaviour, driven by those very thoughts.


Card: Deviant Moon by Patrick Valenza

Tarot Bella

Queen of Swords - Court Cards

I have decided to use two images to illustrate this Queen and the first one is from the Old English Tarot. Why this one? Well I think this depiction of the Queen does show her slightly softer side.

She is elementally Air/Water and the Old English does portray this feeling side more. As she sits upon her throne she holds her sword upright just like Justice as symbol of truth. But she seems to be looking at it with soft eyes, perhaps indicating that she is able at times to allow her heart to affect her judgement. Maybe she is just looking at that Sword of truth in an effort to perceive what the truth really is.

Anyway I liked this image of not such a cold looking Queen.



The other one I have chosen is from The Druid Craft and this image shows the Queen with all her strength and intellect.

In this card she really does look in control. She has the demeanor of strength as she holds her sword (intellect) balanced between her hands - this symbolises her ability to use her mind for the greater good.

This is the Queen who does not let past disappointments get in her way, she is able to take those experiences and use them, learn from them.

She is strong and self reliant but her sword does have a double edged. On the negative side she can be critical, devious and dissatisfied with life. She is not someone to upset though, and she will cut you into little pieces with her ability to communicate - watch out for that razor sharp tongue!

She has, as I have said, a good mind most of the time and is able to analyze situations and get straight to the core of the matter. That Water Element that exists in her allows her to combine her intuition with her ability to think things through and this proves to be a powerful marriage of qualities.

She is a good leader and at her best, can be relied upon to make the right decisions. She more often than not, will not allow her emotions to get in the way or be blinded by what appears to be there. She has that ability to look past the surface to find what lies beneath.

When she appears in a reading she may well represent a facet of your own personality but she could also indicate another who is coming into, or already is in your life, that displays this Queens qualities.


When you meet this Queen, don't be fooled by her charming personality, she has a sharp mind, and an overall tendency to be logical to achieve what she desires.
