  • Supplemental Sheets ELEMENTAL DIGNITIES in TAROT Applying
    Supplemental Sheets ELEMENTAL DIGNITIES IN TAROT Applying elemental dignities analysis to a tarot reading helps identify the precise points of imbalances in a Seeker’s life or situation. The various energies and traits of a person (or even a situation) per Western theosophy can be categorized as Fire, Water, Air, or Earth in essence. For harmony in one’s life, there should be a balance of the four elements within. When two elements seem to vie for dominance and those elements are also in opposition, there will be flux, uncertainties, a sense of instability and insecurity. When active elements dominate, there may be a lack of peace, and instead, too much competition, battling, conflict, and strife. When passive elements dominate, there may be little progress, feeling overwhelmed, and controlled rather than in control. Interpreting a tarot reading by the card meanings help the Seeker understand what is going on; interpreting elemental dignities enhances that understanding by explaining why. Dignity as used in this context is defined as external manifestation of the card’s innate properties. It is the state of being activated with the full potential of its essence. An Elemental Dignity describes that state with more specificity—it is the external manifestation of a tarot card’s innate elemental essence, given that each card is governed innately by one of the four elements, Fire, Water, Air, or Earth, and thus has the potential of fully embodying the traits associated with that element. (Note however that the card’s energies would further be modified by the numerological correspondence and other factors.) Benebell Wen, www.benebellwen.com Holistic Tarot (North Atlantic Books, forthcoming 2014) Supplemental Sheets When a card from the suit of Wands is said to be dignified, it means it is fully charged and activated with the energies of its corresponding element.

  • Elemental Dignities and Affinities
    HOLISTIC TAROT SUPPLEMENT This text is offered as a supplement to Holistic Tarot: An Integrative Approach to Using Tarot for Personal Growth (North Atlantic Books, 2015) by Benebell Wen. Elemental Dignities and Affinities To understand elemental dignities is to understand the metaphysical chemistry of tarot. Each card is made up of a unique composition of properties and is activated when drawn into a tarot reading. Upright and surrounded by empowering elements, the activation is dignified. Reversed or surrounded by attenuating elements, the activation becomes ill-dignified, which does not necessarily mean negative. The study of elemental dignities is the study of how the fundamental element in one card interacts with the elements of other cards Dignity as used in this context is defined as external manifestation of the card’s innate properties. It is the state of being activated with the full potential of its essence. An Elemental Dignity describes that state with more specificity—it is the external manifestation of a tarot card’s innate elemental essence, given that each card is governed innately by one of the four elements, Fire, Water, Air, or Earth, and thus has the potential of fully embodying the traits associated with that element. (Note however that the card’s energies would further be modified by the numerological correspondence and other factors.) When a card from the suit of Wands is said to be dignified, it means it is fully charged and activated with the energies of its corresponding element. A dignified Ace of Wands is the Ace of Wands appearing upright in a tarot spread during a reading (as opposed to its non-activated state in the deck on a table, not in use).

  • Statement Before the HOUSE COMMITTEE on GOVERNMENT REFORM Wednesday, March 17, 2021 10:00 AM Via Videoconference and Conference Room 309
    Statement Before The HOUSE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT REFORM Wednesday, March 17, 2021 10:00 AM Via Videoconference and Conference Room 309 in consideration of SB 560 RELATING TO RANKED CHOICE VOTING. Chair McKELVEY, Vice Chair WILDBERGER, and Members of the House Government Reform Committee Common Cause Hawaii supports SB 560, which establishes ranked choice voting (RCV) for special federal elections and special elections of vacant county council seats. Common Cause Hawaii is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to reforming government and strengthening democracy through voting modernization efforts such as adopting RCV. RCV is a simple electoral reform that ensures fair and efficient elections. In a traditional election, the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they do not receive a majority of the votes. This means voters often feel disengaged and are left to choose between the “lesser of two evils,” or vote for the candidate they feel has the best chance of winning, rather than supporting their favorite candidates. RCV promotes positive, inclusive and fair elections, which encourages a diversity of candidates. The Hawaii Democratic Party’s Party-Run Presidential Primary employed RCV in 2020. There are 30 jurisdictions that are using or have adopted some form or RCV. See https://www.fairvote.org/data_on_rcv#research_snapshot. With RCV, voters rank candidates from favorite to least favorite. On Election Night, first choice votes are counted to determine who voters like the best. If a candidate receives a majority of votes, they win. If no candidate receives a majority, the candidate with the fewest first-choice rankings is eliminated.
