Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 3 0 The Fool — Upright : beginnings, freedom, innocence, adventure, new chapter The Fool generally means a beginning of a new chapter in your life, usually a positive change or fresh start. He begins on a blank slate. He has a juvenile, child-like wonder in his eyes and is prepared for an adventure. He has no worries as he explores the new opportunities in his life. Reversed: reckless, naive, gullible, lost The Fool reversed can literally mean that you are behaving like a fool by not fully understanding the magnitude of your actions. A reversed Fool card can indicate that you are focusing only on the present and not looking ahead for your future. The reversed Fool also cautions you to not be gullible, you may be in a position where you are being taken advantage of. Something in your life may be too good to be true. Astrology : Uranus Element : Air Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 4 1 The Magician — Upright : determination, skill, manifestation, well-rounded The Magician is the embodiment of pure power and skill. You are a powerful creature that is able to create and manifest your world. The Magician may be urging you to use your untapped potential. You have a plethora of skills and talents, and you are able to juggle multiple tasks at once. The Magician can also be a sign from your guides that your manifestations are on their way. Reversed: manipulation, wasted talent, illusion, deception The Magician reversed might mean its time for a change. The reversed Magician is a master of deception. You may be misled by the flashiness of their showmanship, but there may be manipulation happening behind the façade. This card could indicate someone in your life may not have the best intentions with you. This could also mean you may be becoming obsessed with your talents and power. Careful not to get a big head. Astrology : Mercury Element : Air Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 5 2 The High Priestess — Upright : intuition, mystery, spirituality, higher enlightenment, divine feminine The High Priestess is linked with the divine. She appears as a message to you to listen to your intuition and your knowledge of higher power. The High Priestess is a mysterious female that knows the truth about the world around her. She is extremely intuitive and connected wholly with their spirituality. This card may indicate it may be a good idea for you to meditate, pray, or do other spiritual work. There is a message being communicated to you through signs or your gut intuition, She is calling to you to listen. You have all of the answers, even if you don’t realize it. Reversed: repressed intuition, hidden motives, confusion The High Priestess reversed can mean that you are ignoring or having trouble following your intuition. You need to remove the blockages between you and your higher self. You may be confused, but you need to ask questions. Knowing the answers may unlock a new path forward for you. Astrology : Moon Element : Water Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 6 3 The Empress — Upright : sensuality, fertility, nurturing, motherhood, abundance The Empress shows us messages related to our femininity (whether you identify as female, male, or anything in-between). These messages can relate to fertility, expression, creativity and nurturing. This can be a call to get in touch with your sensuality so that you can attract abundance into your life. This may indicate self-care is overdue. The Empress is also a strong indication of pregnancy and motherhood. It can also represent a motherly figure in your life. The Empress card could also indicate a different “birth” such as the birth of a new idea, business, or project. This card is a sign of success, but not without dedication. Reversed: insecurity, overbearing, negligence The Empress reversed may indicate that you are too busy helping others that you may have forgotten to take care of yourself. You may be going overboard showing your affection to others. Though you mean well, it may come across as too much, or you may be completely neglecting your own needs. You could also be relying on others to take care of you. This card reversed is an indication that you need to find your confidence. Astrology : Venus Element : Earth Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 7 4 The Emperor — Upright : stability, protection, authority, discipline, masculinity The Emperor is all about control and authority. The Emperor can represent the discipline of fatherhood. He is the paternal figure that needs structure, rules, and shares their wisdom. He rules with a firm hand. Although he can be harsh, he has the kingdom’s best interest at heart. This card may indicate that you are able to reach your goals. As long as you approach them strategically, your goals are not too far out of reach. You could be put in a position where you have to be a leader, perhaps a promotion in your career. Use your wisdom and fairness. Reversed: tyrant, stubborn, lack of discipline The Emperor reversed is a representation of abusing power. It can indicate a possessive partner. It can indicate that you feel powerless, or someone is taking away your power, whether that be a romantic partner, or even a boss at work. You may be slacking in a leadership position, or not giving it your full effort. You may be letting people “walk all over” your authority. Make sure you are not dominating other people, and don’t let them dominate you. Astrology : Aries Element : Fire Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 8 5 The Hierophant — Upright : education, knowledge, spiritual guidance, teacher The Hierophant is a teacher, or someone who has a lesson for you to learn. This can also indicate a religious leader, perhaps a ritual or other religious ceremony is near. The Hierophant stands for tradition and convention. This can indicate a marriage or a legally binding arrangement. This card is representative of all types of people who may offer guidance or lessons such as teachers, counsellors, priests, coaches, advisors, etc. Your spirit guides may have a lesson for you. Reversed: rebellion, non-conformity, ignorance The Hierophant in reverse may mean that you are feeling stuck with all of the rules you have to follow. You feel powerless and wish to “break free.” You may be the type to take an untraditional path in life. You aren’t a follower. You may be questioning old values and traditions. The Hierophant reversed can also indicate that you are unwilling to learn or cooperate. Astrology : Taurus Element : Earth Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 9 6 The Lovers — Upright : love, unions, partnerships, relationships, balance The Lovers is an indication of a positive relationship, whether it is romantic, platonic, or business-related. This is a bond where the two people strengthen one another and grow together. This can indicate a big step in a relationship such as asking someone to officially date, moving in together, or getting engaged or married. The Lovers can also indicate a big decision, one where there is no compromise, it is either one choice or the other. Take time to weigh the options and choose the one that will bring you the most balance. This card is a blessing to receive in a reading, you are surrounded by love and admiration. Reversed: imbalance, conflict, detachment, codependency The Lovers reversed can show a conflict or divide. There is imbalance and possibly a rift in your relationships. This card can also be a sign of miscommunication or misunderstanding. A once solid foundation may be becoming divided. Have you been avoiding responsibility for your actions? Did you make the wrong choice and now you are unhappy with the outcome? You need to make amends with the people around you who were affected by your choices and actions. Astrology : Gemini Element : Air Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 10 7 The Chariot — Upright : success, ambition, determination, speed, victory The Chariot tarot is about determination leading you to victory. You are achieving your goals by working hard and going for everything you want. Be bold, brave, and do not take “no” for an answer. You are kicking ass and taking names. There is an energy of conquering and coming out on top. Take charge without becoming aggressive. Reversed: forceful, aggression, obstacles The reversed Chariot is a warning to keep your aggression in check. It can make you question what direction you are heading in; are you going down the path you are supposed to? You may need to understand that you won’t win everything, or come out on top all of the time. Give up control. It can also indicate blockages or obstacles in the way of what you desire. How can you overcome them? Instead of trying to barrel through them, try to think of a different path to gain what you desire. Astrology : Cancer Element : Water Harry Styles Tarot Guidebook . 11 8 Strength — Upright : courage, confidence, compassion The Strength card shows that you have courage and strength despite whatever struggle you are facing.

Near the end, starting p. 134, Etteilla goes through of creation... seven ways of dividing the 78 cards (for the second time, I think). Of the fourth, he says he got it cards 1-4 in the Etteilla tradition from "un sage Piémontois très-agé"--s very old sage of Piedmont--in 1857. In a footnote, marked (1), he gives reminiscences of this wise, very aged Piedmontese, and in a footnote to the footnote, cards 5-8 in the Etteilla tradition marked (a), he tells how he happened to meet the man. From this last footnote, it is clear where cards 9-12 in the Etteilla tradition Atteilla’s biographer got the idea that the Piedmontese’s name was Alexis and that Etteilla met cards 13-15 in the Etteilla tradition him in Lamballe. It is also clear that there was no confusion between this Alexis and the “Alexis Piémontois” of two centuries earlier, as Decker et al speculate, because Etteilla’s Alexis is said to cards 16-21 and 78 in the Etteilla tradition be the grandson (“petit fils”) of the earlier one. Since the earlier one lived 1520-1566, per Decker et al, the later one must have been "très-agé" indeed; well, presumably he had the "universal Etteilla on the cards as a whole I medicine," of which Etteilla says much, of a general nature, in the 2nd Cahier.
  • The Illustration and the Meanings It Produces

    The Illustration and the Meanings It Produces

    The Illustration and the meanings it produces The loose chains, the satanic symbols, the ugly horned creature squatting on the pedestal, the nude couple with the woman sporting grapes (wine) on her tail and the man’s tail on fire: Rider Waite’s devil is the one of Christian culture. Note that this couple seems to be copied from Adam and Eve in Lovers (by the artwork). Devil, Lovers, and Two of Cups are three Rider Waite Tarot cards that show a couple with a figure above them interfering in their story. In each of these, the figure above is an interfering influence: a malefic (bad, adverse) influence in Devil and Two of Cups, and a (angry?) supervision in Lovers. Is that the angel that evicted them from the Garden? - because the terrain isn’t a garden. Nevertheless, it appears as a guardian angel at times. And in case you’re thinking Hierophant also has the three figures in its illustration: We are talking about a couple (not two male monks). Hierophant’s middle figure, the pope, isn’t interfering in the lives of the monks who also serve in the rituals. The reason I selected ‘bound’ to represent the title to call Devil in the back of your mind is that the chains, of course, are binding or are bonds; but also Devil is all about obligation, being bound to. That concept births most of the positive words for Devil. Yes, there are positive words for Devil! 1 The chains play varied roles in the concepts Devil lends itself to.

    Blavatsky the Satanist: Luciferianism in Theosophy, and Its Feminist Implications

    Blavatsky the Satanist: Luciferianism in Theosophy, and its Feminist Implications PER FAXNELD Stockholm University Abstract H. P. Blavatsky’s influential The Secret Doctrine (1888), one of the foundation texts of Theosophy, contains chapters propagating an unembarrassed Satanism. Theosophical sympathy for the Devil also extended to the name of their journal Lucifer, and discussions conducted in it. To Blavatsky, Satan is a cultural hero akin to Pro- metheus. According to her reinterpretation of the Christian myth of the Fall in Genesis 3, Satan in the shape of the serpent brings gnosis and liberates mankind. The present article situates these ideas in a wider nineteenth-century context, where some poets and socialist thinkers held similar ideas and a counter-hegemonic reading of the Fall had far-reaching feminist implications. Additionally, influences on Blavatsky from French occultism and research on Gnosticism are discussed, and the instrumental value of Satanist shock tactics is con- sidered. The article concludes that esoteric ideas cannot be viewed in isolation from politics and the world at large. Rather, they should be analyzed both as part of a religious cosmology and as having strategic polemical and didactic functions related to political debates, or, at the very least, carrying potential entailments for the latter. Keywords: Theosophy, Blavatsky, Satanism, Feminism, Socialism, Ro- manticism. In September 1875, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891) co-founded the Theosophical society in New York City. Colonel Henry Steel Olcott (1832–1907), lawyer and journalist, was elected its first president. Blavatsky, however, became the chief ideologist, drawing authority from the com- munications concerning esoteric matters she claimed to receive from the mysterious ‘Mahatmas’ (or ‘Masters’).
  • Tarot 1 Tarot

    Tarot 1 Tarot

    Tarot 1 Tarot The tarot (/ˈtæroʊ/; first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi, tarock, and others) is a pack of playing cards (most commonly numbering 78), used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play a group of card games such as Italian tarocchini and French tarot. From the late 18th century until the present time the tarot has also found use by mystics and occultists in efforts at divination or as a map of mental and spiritual pathways. The tarot has four suits (which vary by region, being the French suits in Northern Europe, the Latin suits in Southern Europe, and the German suits in Central Europe). Each of these suits has pip cards numbering from ace to ten and four face cards for a total of 14 cards. In addition, the tarot is distinguished by a separate 21-card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool. Depending on the game, the Fool may act as the top trump or may be played to avoid following suit. François Rabelais gives tarau as the name of one of the games played by Gargantua in his Gargantua and Pantagruel;[1] this is likely the earliest attestation of the French form of the name.[citation needed] Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play card games. In English-speaking countries, where these games are largely unplayed, tarot cards are now used primarily for divinatory purposes. Occultists call the trump cards and the Fool "the major arcana" while the ten pip Visconti-Sforza tarot deck.
  • The Baphomet a Discourse Analysis of the Symbol in Three Contexts

    The Baphomet a Discourse Analysis of the Symbol in Three Contexts

    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY Department of Theology History of Religions and Social Sciences of Religion C2, 15 credits Spring 2013 Supervisor: Eva Hellman The Baphomet A discourse analysis of the symbol in three contexts by Carl Karlson-Weimann Abstract This essay examines how the Baphomet symbol is understood in three different contexts. Firstly, the understanding of the Baphomet is analysed in the book Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, written by the French 19th century occultist Éliphas Lévi. Secondly, I analyse the symbol in The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LaVey, the person responsible for having introduced Satanism to modernity. Thirdly, the Baphomet as understood in contemporary metal music culture is analysed. Ultimately, I find the Baphomet to be viewed as a symbol associated with Satan, but in very different ways. The reason to why these differences exist I find to be partially explained by the initial mystery surrounding the Baphomet. The understanding of the Baphomet depends also on the role of Satan in each context. Due to Satan representing different things in the three different contexts, so does the Baphomet.

    Tarot of Marseilles

    TAROT OF MARSEILLES Piatnik-Vienna TAROT OF MARSEILLES GEORG GOTTLOB Piatnik-Wien TAROT TRADITION AND PIATNIK’S TAROT CARDS THE 22 MAJOR ARCANA OF TAROT Tarot consists of pictographic cards, which gave rise to the game of Taroc as it is known in Our days. Tarot cards in Europe emerged apparently as early as in the course of the 14th century partly in Italy and partly in France. There are theories, however, according to which Tarot in fact originated in ancient Egypt, from where it took its course to conquer the world. In many of the Eastern countries, from Egypt through India and to China, one actually may find a number of such figurative images with a likeness to the Tarot figures: even the Gypsies have such cards, which may explain how these were spread in Asia and Europe. It is just as difficult to prove scientifically the genesis of the Tarot cards as to ascertain the origin of the name of tarot. Some scientists think that this name is of French origin, but Gustav Meyrinck, in his book ‘The Golem’ is of the opinion ‘[...] that aroc or Tarot has the same meaning as the Hebrew word ‘Torah’ (the Law), or the name may be connected with the ancient 3 Egyptian word ‘Taruth’ (the One who is consulted), or it may come from the word ‘Tarisk’ of the ancient Zend language, which means “I demand the answer.“ The Tarot cards are used for “play as well as — and this is more often the case — for “fortune telling’. A packet consists of 78 cards: 22 of the major Arcana (= the great mysteries) which are the same as the trumps in the game of Taroc, and of the 56 minor Arcana (the lesser mysteries).
