Death and the Emperor (13/4) TAROT Death and The Emperor (13/4) The archetypal system of Tarot is ancient. Although records link its beginnings to the Middle Ages, there are indications of its origination occurring much earlier – perhaps even by thousands of years and from distant civilizations. The Tarot represents and reflects (it is) the story of life: each card is a micro-story of the profound, deeply-embedded and commonly-lived experiences of our human journey. Your core Tarot encoding is unveiled by adding your individual birth numbers together and reducing them down: in this case, your encoded major arcana Tarot archetype is #4 The Emperor. Expounding on this archetype, your birth numbers have also been added in such a way (a system developed by the Amberstones) as to bring forward one (and sometimes two) other major arcana archetypes that also live within you. Together, these symbiotic fields of energy create an additional dynamic and unveil the complexities of your Soul Print’s distinct journey. _______________________________________________________________________________________ You are the energetic archetypal combination of Death (#13 in the Tarot) and The Emperor (#4 in the Tarot). As such, you represent a dynamic quality-set that emerges from its coupling and its energetic feedback loop. This emergent archetype and energy signature is one that represents "polar absolutes". Death and The Emperor both have clear function, territory and authority but in different areas and through different experiences. Note the myriad similarities in the images. You as Death-Emperor are here to deconstruct and clear away (reflecting Death’s theme of destruction leading to rebirth), and then organize, initiate and establish (reflecting The Emperor’s theme of authority and stability). Death represents the unconscious, chaos, limit and the uncertainty of change, while The Emperor represents outward action, expansion and steadiness. When activating Death, you push the edges of the known into mystery and challenge the boundary of comfortable assumptions and procedures. When activating The Emperor, you bring order, peace and maturity to insure balance. You are an embodiment of the pinnacle point inbetween and are here to evolve the cooperative, symbiotic relationship between these two archetypes. www.TheAlchemyofHolism.com When understood, accepted and allowed to flow naturally, this combined Death-Emperor archetype within you represents a perfect balance that brings constant renewal: endings of the old and order to the new. It is from this, your natural place of wholeness, where infinite power is accessed, creativity flows readily, and life is experienced as orderly but fresh, peaceful but not tyrannical, abundant yet not stagnant, and believable but still fascinating. This theme is a foundational to your Soul Print. www.TheAlchemyofHolism.com .

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.

  • Major Arcana the Following Is the Journey of the Major Arcana
    The Major Arcana The following is the journey of the Major Arcana. We are going to go through them briefly together, but it is also super essential you spend time with this journey over the next week! This course is taught from the Angel Tarot, and you can use the Angel Tarot, or the Archangel Power Tarot, both by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine. Of course this information can be applied to any card deck! The Major Arcana in general are some very powerful cards! In general they hold greater weight and meaning than the “minor arcana” (which are the other suites that will be discussed). They are also referred to as the trump cards and are the foundational piece of the Tarot deck. They make up the first 21 cards in the deck, and tell a really beautiful story. They are representative of a path to spiritual self awareness and unveil the different stages of life as we move thorough our path. They all hold very deep meaningful lessons. The recording in this week goes through those, and it is also important you listen to your own heart in what they mean to you. If a lot of Major Arcana appear, pay attention to two main points: 1. The person you are reading for may be going through some big life changes. 2. The more that appear the less free will and choice that person may have (but of course there is ALWAYS free will and choice). The Major Arcana cards are all numbered, and in the Angel Tarot are associated with an Angel.

  • Tarot Card Meanings with Benebell a Seventeen-Part Video Lecture Series
    Tarot Card Meanings with Benebell A Seventeen-Part Video Lecture Series Part IV: The Kings The video length for The Kings became unduly long, so for those who might not be able to sit through and take notes during the entirety of the lecture, here is an illustrated transcript of that lecture. THIS IS THE FOUR-LETTERED DIVINE NAME, Yod He Vau He, and the four letters in Hebrew are (please forgive my mispronunciation here), Yod, which corresponds with the element Fire, He, or the first of two He, which corresponds with the element Water, Vau, which corresponds with the element Air, and the second He, which corresponds with the element Earth. The significance of this concept with the tarot is expounded upon in Tarot of the Bohemians by Papus, and if this interests you, the video, ―Jailbreaking Tarot of the Bohemians‖ will be linked in the description box, but regrettably, closed captioning wasn’t included. In Tarot of the Bohemians, and Crowley reiterates this in his Book of Thoth, the four letters of the Divine Name and four elemental attributions correspond with the four court cards. Yod and Fire correspond with the Kings in tarot, if you’re referencing the titles in the Marseilles or Rider- Waite-Smith, and Knights in the Thoth deck, though there is some debate about this. For now, following the Book of Thoth, we’ll say it’s the Knights. TAROT CARD MEANINGS WITH BENEBELL | VIDEO LECTURE SERIES The first He corresponds with the rank just below the Kings, the Queens. Vau corresponds with the ranking below the Queens, the Knights.

  • 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.

  • Learning the Tarot (19 Lesson C
    Welcome to Learning the Tarot - my course on how to read the tarot cards. The tarot is a deck of 78 picture cards that has been used for centuries to reveal hidden truths. In the past few years, interest in the tarot has grown tremendously. More and more people are seeking ways to blend inner and outer realities so they can live their lives more creatively. They have discovered in the tarot a powerful tool for personal growth and insight. How Does This Course Work? My main purpose in this course is to show you how to use the cards for yourself. The tarot can help you understand yourself better and teach you how to tap your inner resources more confidently. You do not have to have "psychic powers" to use the tarot successfully. All you need is the willingness to honor and develop your natural intuition. Learning the Tarot is a self-paced series of 19 lessons that begin with the basics and then move gradually into more detailed aspects of the tarot. These lessons are geared toward beginners, but experienced tarot users will find some useful ideas and techniques as well. For each lesson there are some exercises that reinforce the ideas presented. The Cards section contains information about each of the tarot cards. You can refer to this section as you go through the lessons and later as you continue your practice. These are the main features of the course, but there are many other pages to explore here as well. What is the History of this Course? I began writing this course in 1989.
