Daily Card Reading~2 of Wands (Enchanted Forest Tarot)

 


Today for my daily card reading I drew the two of wands from the Enchanted Forest Tarot.  This is always a powerful time of year for me for various reasons, including the fact that we are headed into the Autumnal Equinox, which is a time of balance, a fact that is always reflected in a 2.  Wands the suit of creativity.   The frog in this picture can be seen holding the world in his hands.  And, for me in this deck this card shouts that it is time for inner contemplation.  Message: During this time of balance you hold the world in your hands, so look within to find the answers that you should apply without.

I have been consumed in researching my book project for the last four years, and I am finally reaching a time where I feel that my knowledge starting to coalesce and I am getting a clear vision about where I am headed in my writing and research.

My understanding of the universe is also deepening.  I am really in tune with Hermetic teachings at the moment.  I am jumping throughout history to Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas finding connections everywhere.  I have been reflecting a lot, going over my journals, and trying to find the theme. 

All cultures tell of a golden age, and it is coming to me through research and reflection, that during this period of history man was not divided.  Globally there was a shared religion and language (perhaps), was this Atlantis? When that empire fell, and its survivors spread out...is it the fragments that Atlantis survivors carried to various points across the globe that give global myth its parallels?

Alexander the Great had an appreciation for culture as he conquered and spread his empire.  Alexandria became a global hub of knowledge, where everyone spoke Greek.  The fact that Greek was imposed on the cultures that Alexander took over, allowed for a sharing of information.  As we move along in the processional cycle out of the age of Pisces headed by the tag I believe, we enter into the age of Aquarius which is guided by the tag I know.

Daily Reading~ The Devil with a 6 of Pentacles Pop Out



Over the years I have fallen in and out of my love affair with the Tarot. Yet, I realize that even when I put the cards aside, they are always with me, and for the most part my studies are forever deepening my understanding with the cards... 

Today for the daily card reading I broke out what I consider to be my darkest (for lack of a better word) deck: Deviant Moon Tarot.  In fact, this deck was purchased intuitively when I was at the bookstore a few years ago, during a period when I was not intensely studying the cards.  I got this deck because it popped out at me, brought it home, flipped through the cards, and then placed the deck aside because it scared me.  However, I knew that the cards were meant to be with me, I understood I had put them aside for a future time.

Over the years I have come to this deck now and again, looking at the images.  Appreciating the art.  But, never doing an actual reading with the cards.  Today, I have been reflecting on the fact that the wheel of the year is turning as we head into the Vernal Equinox on September 22nd.  This is the time where we come into perfect balance, and then head into the fall.  Mythically, this is the time where the sun falls below into the underworld, after it is judged by the scales of Libra.  And when Persephone must begin her descent into Hades.

As we head into darker part of the year, I felt it was time to read with one of my most beautiful and also my darkest of Tarots.  Reviews of the Deviant Moon Tarot reveal that I am not the only one who had to confront the macabre world that this deck has you delving into.  So, today I picked up these cards and did a reading...

The card I drew was the devil and then out popped the 6 of pentacles.  The message of this reading was apparent right away.  For me this reading meant that I should be happy that I am standing on my own, for when you accept hand outs from the devil you might get burned.

Daily Card Reading~ Queen of Pentacles



Yesterday, for the daily card reading I drew the Queen of Pentacles, yet I was unable to post.  Therefore, I thought it would be fitting to address an important point about my daily card readings, regarding the illusion of time.  There is no time in spirit, therefore, whenever you find a post on a tarot card, it is meant for you to read at that moment, regardless of when the card was actually drawn.  Just because I drew this card yesterday, does not mean that I cannot find insight from this same card today, and at any given time when this card appears as a symbol in my life. 

So, now let us look at this luxurious queen.  She sits in a garden overflowing with abundance focused on the pentacle, which I view as her power to manifest in this physical reality (hence why she is the Queen of this suit with its connections to earth).  What are you at the height of creating? Are you feeling a flow of abundance at this time?  Are you seeing the results of your creative endeavours?  These are the questions that lie at the core of this earthly and abundant queen.  Meditate on her for your answers if they have not already arrived intuitively.

Daily Card Reading~ 4 of Swords (Rx) *Mystic Dreamer Tarot

I found it interesting that for today's reading I drew the 4 of Swords (Rx), when yesterday this was the card I pulled in the upright position.  I was not sure what to make of this reversal, and so for further reflection I turned to Mary K. Greer's  The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals for more insight on what this card could mean in its reversed position.  In the book she states, "The figure now seems to look down from the ceiling- like an out of body experience during dreams or scrying.  You may be awakening from a literal metaphorical sleep, probably with more clarity or a different perspective then before.  As the period of peace and tranquility comes to an end, you could be resolving concerns...On the shamanic level, this is a card of dream time or the astral plane.  It depicts a connection with inner guides or figures of power like the supplicant in the stained-glass window.  Channeling or mediumship is a possibility."


In yesterday's post I alluded to Sleeping Beauty, and how the upright position of this card refers to a period of rest and reflection.  And now today, I drew a card that states that it is time to emerge from the slumber!  What does this all mean in your own life?

Daily Card Reading~ 4 of Swords *Mystic Dreamer Tarot


Personally I immediately understood why I drew this for today's daily card reading.  The 4 of Swords in about rest, reflection, and retreat.  Rachel Pollak in 78 Degrees of Wisdom, discusses how this card evokes the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty

An issue in my personal life has been bothering me, and I was debating facing the issue head-on at some point within the next few days.  But, this card is warning against that, alluding to taking time to turn within and heal, and then re-emerging after a period of rest and reflection.  Four's are about stability.  What do you need to reflect on?  If you are reading this post, it may be a good idea to take time out of your day and meditate.

Tarot and Beyond...A Tarot Post from Nereids' Enchantments Archives

Daily Card Reading~ Art *Thoth



First off, I find it interesting that as I begin to truly learn and read with the Thoth deck, I have encountered some judgements of the deck that have not been so favorable.  I completely understand how this deck could be perceived as dark, since it is in fact incredibly powerful.  Once working with the deck, if these issues come up, it is important to intuitively confront your feelings on the dark perceptions surrounding the deck's creator.  Crowley suffered from racial bias (I have read some accounts stating his biased beliefs are reflected in his writings), he practiced sexual magic with a emphasis on homosexuality (which may be a problem for some), and he was not the picture of a loving and respectful husband (he was married), in fact he led an incredibly wild sex life, and had several illicit affairs. Yet, does that mean his deck holds no value?  I guess for me it does not.

I see the Thoth as a tool for me to use, that is separate from the mystery and controversy that surrounds its creator Aleister Crowley.  I can't remember where I read this point, but it was a good one, the person stated that besides the controversial character that Crowley indeed was, Lady Frieda Harris painted the cards, and as the artist her energy is part of the deck as well, along with the fact that regardless of personal faults, Crowley was a learned occultist, and therefore it is safe to assume you may find something of value within his Tarot deck.  In fact, if you are reading this post I would take it as a sync indicator that these tarot card may have something to offer you, and you may want to look into this line of thinking further...The Book of Thoth Website states that this is the leading esoteric deck published today.

~The Daily Card Reading

I sat down to do another daily card reading, a few days after Mercury had gone direct, signaling a lift on sluggish communication often experienced during this period.  Again, I used the Thoth deck for this reading (I pulled this card several days ago, and have been reflecting on it ever since), it was the Art card which is trump 14 in the Major Arcana pertaining to Sagittarius the opposite of Gemini.  In Crowley's deck this trump forms a pair with the previous card that I had pulled in my last daily card reading ~ The Lovers which is trump number 6, a sync experience.

Again, this card is ruled by Sagittarius taking the form of the mythic Diana- the Huntress, according to Crowley.  In fact you can spot the arrow of the huntress coming out of the alchemical cauldron, which is forming a rainbow, symbolic of a bridge between worlds.  Again, Crowley states that this card represents the consummation of the royal marriage which took place during Trump #6, the former black and white figures of the previous trump have now united into a androgynous alchemical figure.  He also says that the main message of the card refers to the alchemical egg, which appeared in trump #6, this card is concerning what is inside the egg.  This card is also referencing the Philosopher's Stone, both symbols holding the keys that unlock the truth of 3rd dimensional existence.  This card is the final stage of the alchemical process, where the lead has been turned to gold.  What truth have you uncovered as you reconciled living within this dualistic realm? What is birthing within? Follow your truth and light.

Daily Card Reading~ The Lovers *Thoth





For quite sometime I kept drawing cards that were alluding to the fact that I needed to rest.  As such, I have not posted on any of my blogs since mid July, taking time off from my many projects, trying to REst and REflect.  These are key actions during any period in which Mercury is in retrograde (what we are currently experiencing), signaling a time where no new projects should be started, instead you should rest and reflect on what you already have in place.

Given the fact that I am very heavily a Virgo born on a New Moon with a Stellenium in my chart all in the house of Virgo, I am heavily influenced by Mercury, always on a quest for knowledge...So, the last few weeks have been no different.  And my intuitive research has connected me to Crowley's Thoth Tarot. 

In fact, I have owned this deck for at least six years.  But, I have never opened it.  I was drawn to purchase it when I began to truly study the cards in depth, putting it aside (along with his companion book The Book of Thoth) and finally picking it up for the first time two weeks ago. 

I realize everyday how our higher-selves guide us when we follow our hearts.  Aleister Crowley is a very controversial occultist, and if you let his reputation proceed him, you can miss out on the magic that is his Tarot!  Yet, I am so happy that I did not delve into this highly symbolic an esoteric deck until now, because I would have been in no way prepared to read these advanced cards.  But, when you are ready the teacher will find you, and so now Crowley and his Book of Thoth have found me!

I have been shuffling, looking at, meditating with, and reading up on Crowley, Lady Frieda Harris (the artist behind the cards), and looking into the systems that lie at the core of this complex deck.  I am so happy that I have finally begun to work with these cards, whose images really seem to be resonating with me.  I love the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, but I was also ready for something more, and have found, what I wanted/had all along!  

So, with this deck I did the daily card reading for today.  I drew the Lovers which is a trump card in the Major Arcana.  For me this card is always about choices.  I was immediately struck by the contrasting children and royalty, using the imagery of black and white (duality/contrast).  Crowley states that this card alludes to Gemini (the twins) ruled by Mercury.  In fact Mercury is the hooded figure in the background overseeing the events in this picture.  Crowley states, " he is closely shrouded, as if to signify the ultimate reason of things lies in the realm beyond manifestation and intellect." 

We are taken back to the Garden of Eden, where Eve has fallen to the temptation of the serpent, and has bore his child Cain.  Cain is the first murderer, and as such bears the mark of the beast (Crowley's nickname), holding the Hammer of Thor still dripping with his brothers blood.  Yet, Crowley states that the first murder was necessary because, "God did not hear the children of Eve until blood was shed". 

The marriage is of a Black Moorish King and a White Queen (opposites again). The egg of wisdom is at the bottom.  For with choice comes change, and change is always the birth of something new...This card refers to the 6th stage of Alchemy which is distillation.

What have you been reflecting on during this retrograde period? What choices need to be made in the present, as you move forward?

Daily Card Reading~ 10 of Pentacles


Today for the daily card reading I drew the 10 of Pentacles from the Mystic Faerie Tarot.  This reading has many sync moments for me...the 10 of Pentacles is about the height of abundance within the physical realm.  This card also correlates with a daily card pull that I received from Doreen Virtue's oracle card deck Magical Mermaids and Dolphins, from which I pulled the card 'waves of prosperity'. 

I recently launched 2 other blogs (this and a Poetry Blog ) in conjunction with my long running blog Nereids' Enchantments, all of these blogs started out of a passion for writing, and also the need to have something of my own, as I walked away from a career in teaching, and began to pursue building my own business.  Yet, as I blog during the past three years, mainly for personal enjoyment, I have began to question my current path.  For me, these cards served to reinforce that I need to continue to follow and pursue my vision and dream as I am about to see the physical manifestation of my work...

How does the 10 of pentacles work in your life? Seeing as you have found this post, this card is also influencing you in some way.  Learn Tarot's write-up on the 10 of pentacles is also very insightful...Enjoy!

Daily Card Reading~ 6 of Pentacles (Rx)




A couple days ago I drew the 6 of Pentacles reversed, and have not posted a daily card reading since, because this card indicates a need to rest. So, I have been taking it easy, trying not to work on  much...actually this card spoke to me on many levels. I knew that it was an important reading when this card appeared!  In 78 Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack refers to this card as a gateway...

After pulling this card I found this explanation of its reversal.  I thought this write-up was extremely insightful and profund, so I wanted to post it. Enjoy! And take time to reflect on why the 6 of Pentacles (Rx) has entered you life....

Daily Card Reading~ 6 of Swords


Today for the daily card reading I drew the 6 of Swords. This card was drawn with the intention of sharing it on my Tarot blog, yet it resonates for me on a personal level. This card is a definite allusion to a journey, with rough waters on the corner and calmer waters ahead. Water represents the unconscious; swords the suit of air and intellect.

To me this card has a stillness that resonates from it. As if the journey is an introspective one. Even though there are three figures shown, they all seem reclusive and reflective as they journey forward. I pulled this card as a piggyback to my personal reading for the day, which had a theme of underlying sadness. Yet, the calmer waters ahead make sense (for me), because I am getting to a point where I am at peace with the things in my life that make me sad. I am in the process of releasing, knowing that I am on my path, with the lows as part of the journey. Life is about taking the lessons with you while moving forward.

In 78 Degrees of Wisdom, Rachel Pollak links this card to the journey down the river Styx, heading into the underworld. On the wheel of the year, the underworld is represented through the season of winter, a time for rest and hibernation, which gets back to the sense of stillness I feel when reflecting on the 6 of Swords...

Daily Card Reading~ The Empress



Today for the daily card reading I drew the Empress.  This card expresses the height of feminity and abundance.  It can also signal a birth (metaphorically speaking this can refer to the birth of a new project).  The sync experience for me is that in conjunction with my established blog Nereids' Enchantments I began this Tarot blog a month ago. Then, a few days ago I was inspired to start a poetry and art blog, featuring my work at Poetry by JYN Star.  So, this has definately been a time of birthing and creating for me.

The Empress sits in a garden, surrounded by beauty. She enjoys the finer things in life, living in the lap of luxury.  So, I read this card as meaning we are in a time of creation. By tuning into the magic, beauty, and mystery of the world that surrounds us, we can create and manifest our projects and plans. The symbol for Venus adorns the pillow and stone on the card.  In fact the Venus Transit  ushered in a return of the Goddess, which is partially the theme within my first poem featured on my poetry blog.

Daily Card Reading~ Three of Swords

Three of Swords
Today for the daily card reading I drew the three of swords.  This card has been coming up a lot lately in readings that I have done for other people.  The three of swords card can often symbolize heartache or pain.  Yet, it is important to note that the storm in this card is clearing. Astrologically, Venus has turned direct today, after a month and a half in retrograde.  Therefore, I read this card as reinforcing that the last month and a half has been difficult for many, as far as their relationships are concerned.  But, today as Venus turns direct, the storm is lifting, and all matters concerning love and relationships will smooth out, clearing the way for light...

Daily Card Reading~ Ace of Pentacles


Today for the daily card reading I drew the Ace of Pentacles.  Ace's are about beginnings, and in the suit of pentacles, it refers to seeing the start of your creative endeavours manifest on the earthly plane. This card shows a hand coming out of the clouds, with the gift of a coin!  Linking to our previous daily card posting, mountains can once again be seen in the distance (but they are no longer in the forefront).  Perhaps signaling that this has been a long journey, with many obstacles, but the gateway has opened which brings us through to the other side, with the manifestation finally coming through in the realm of linear space and time.
My sync experience today, another job offer working as a Tarot reader, as I open to abundance, the opportunities keep coming!

One of my favorite Tarot resources is Learning Tarot, on that website Joan Bunning states:

"The Ace of Pentacles is a symbol of possibility in the area of prosperity, abundance, trust, security and groundedness. In readings, it shows that a seed of productivity has been planted in your life although you may not yet recognize it. When the seed sprouts, it could take almost any form. It might be a feeling of centeredness, desire for results or need to focus on practical matters. On the outside, it could be an offer, gift, opportunity, encounter or synchronistic event.

When you see this Ace, examine your life to see how its solid energy could work for you. Now is not the time for fantasy, drama or daring. It is a time to be real and centered. Seek out comfortable, reliable experiences that make you feel secure. Build a foundation of trust in your life both within and without. Your common sense will tell you what to do. Focus also on the natural world to help you stay grounded. Enjoy your body and all the joys of material existence.

The Ace of Pentacles can be a sign that you will be able to make your dreams real. Your ideas are ready to be turned into something tangible. Figure out what will work and make it a reality. You can now attract all the wealth you need to get your projects going. Tap into the material force of the Ace of Pentacles, and all your enterprises will flourish."

Daily Card Readings~ 8 of Wands




Today for the daily card reading I drew the 8 of Wands.  First thing I think when I draw this card is that a message is on the way.  Wands have been popping up often for me in personal readings, and now in readings for this blog.  The suit of wands refers to the element of fire and the spark of creativity.  The 8 of Wands is also about taking action, with the number 8 often being related to business, career pursuits, and financial security.

The sync experiences in my life reinforcing this card...I am currently reading Enchantments of the Faerie Realm by Ted Andrews.  It is interesting that I pulled the card signaling the arrival of a message right after reading this book...I randomly remembered something I had read in the past about seeing into the world of the Fey, by looking through stones with holes.  I then immediately looked up and saw a shell that I collected on a trip to the ocean, noticing that the shell had a hole. I started to play with the shell by looking through the hole and peering out the window in my room.  Right away, I saw a spark of light, and allowed my imagination to believe that it was a flash from the realm of the Fey.

Perhaps the message for all entrepreneurs (including myself), is to embrace the realm of magic, believe in yourself, and your ability to manifest, and you will continue to grow creatively.  The water on this card alludes to the unconscious, mountains often represent obstacles.  It is not easy when you branch out and begin your own business, but know that your plans are in the air (the universe), and your time will come.


The Eight of Wands was reinforced by the 8 of Cups, which popped out of  the deck while I was shuffling.  This card seems like a close up of the scene shown on the 8 of Wands, but now we can closely see the path, alluding to the journey that we are all on.   Life is not easy, you have to overcome many obstacles. But, I have learned that things work best when you allow yourself to be led by intuition, accepting the journey that we are on as human beings (it is the journey of the fool).  This card is about looking for answers, so if you are searching, pay attention to your thoughts and sync experiences, for these are the clues that are illuminating the way.

Dream, Love, Believe... ~JYN

P.S. My real life experience today totally mimics the first book in The Spiderwick Chronicles, wouldn't you agree?  I ask that of anyone who has read those series of children's books...

Daily Card Reading~ 2 of Wands Fairytale Tarot by Lisa Hunt


City Mouse, Country Mouse (Two of Wands) - by Lisa Hunt
A sketch of the 2 of Wands in the Fairytale Tarot by Lisa Hunt
I am always amazed at how synchronized the Tarot is! Since I recently started this Tarot blog, I thought it would be fitting if I posted daily readings.  So, for my first blog reading I used the Fairytale Tarot by Lisa Hunt to do a one card reading for the day.  I asked: What card should I post on my Tarot blog today?  The answer, the Two of Wands, the story attached with this card is the Romanian tale City Mouse, Country Mouse...in the deck the card is referenced as seeing past illusions, the symbols and meanings on this card state:

"The country mouse is resourceful.  She wears an apron, symbolic of hard work, and an orange shawl a color suggesting industry and fruitfulness.  Her basket is associated with offerings and hospitality.  Her appearance juxtaposes the gray-coat-waring city-slicker mouse.  He wears a top hat associated with lofty pretensions.  His black bag is suggestive of secrets and restraint.  The yellow daisy is an offering of friendship.  The oak tree is sturdy and strong, symbolic of a wee-grounded life.  The faces within the tree are aspects of the collective unconscious.  The three acorns represent fecundity.  The dead leaves carpet the ground with insulation.  The mushrooms suggest the fairy realm.  The crystal-topped wands provide clarity and truth."

For me I mainly took away the fact that the grass is not always greener on the other side (as indicated when this card is pulled).  It was a reminder for me to be present and happy, because things always have a way of working out!  Wands is the suit of fire/creativity.  2's are about partnerships, love, and joint ventures.  So, I guess personally it is about pursuing my creative passions, understanding where I am, knowing that things are working for my highest good, and will turn out for the best.  What were your thoughts when you saw this card?  How does it apply to your own life?

Fairytale Tarot Review at Aeclectic Tarot


This blog has really enabled me to reconnect with some of my favorite articles that I have read over the years in the field of Tarot (as I put together materials to post and share).  I love the world of myth and fairytales, which has made the Fairytale Tarot from Magical Realist Press a favorite of mine.  In a snippet from a review by Bonnie Cehovet on Aeclectic Tarot  she states:

"In her introduction, Mahony talks about what fairy tales are to her (and to many of us): they are a way of seeing past the material/mundane part of life into the life's deeper layers, the more magickal realms. They reflect universal wisdom and archetypal patterns, crossing both cultural and time barriers. I agree with her comments that how a particular story/tale is interpreted will depend upon the reader, and the conditions existing at the time of the reading. My personal opinion here would be that at times fairy tales allow us to discuss parts of life that we would otherwise keep to ourselves. They allow us to acknowledge the Wicked Stepmother, or the Foolish Person, and to do so in a safe environment."

Tarot by JYN Star

Hello Everyone!

I am excited to announce that I have decided to embark on the path of a professional Tarot reader!  Tarot has been a lifelong passion for me.  I picked up my first deck of Tarot cards when I was 16, and many years later ;) I am still reading and learning with the cards that speak to us on so many levels! 

I am starting this blog in conjunction with my practice as a professional reader.  For many years I have read for myself, family, and friends.  After a decade of seriously studying the symbols, structure, and other esoteric associations within this fascinating pack of 78 cards, I am ready to turn this passion into a livelihood.

In addition to officially becoming a professional reader, I am building a brand that focuses on holistically nourishing the mind and body with organic homemade bath products.  Therefore, in addition to offering tarot readings, I am able to custmize bath salts and body oils, offering aromatherapeutic products that are individually tailored.

Also, I have had a personal interest in the art of feng shui for many years.  I am able to offer personal feng shui consultations as well, helping to transform any space (home, office, etc.) and optimize the energetic potential of any location. 

So, please feel free to contact me for private readings over the phone, via email, or Skype, and for those in the New York Metropolitan area, I also offer readings in-person and at private parties.  Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to hearing from you!

~JYN
