The Wheel of Fortune Card Meaning

The Wheel of Fortune card meaning is about the cycle of life. We’re midway through the Major Arcana now. This card indicates that everything moves in circles.  Just as the wheel can move downwards and bring misfortune and bad luck, it is sure to move upwards again and bring us the luck we seek. Drawing this card can herald a new cycle in life, but it can also be a pointer to the fact that destiny is at hand, and we may not have much to do with our current circumstances.

Light and Dark Within

There are many teachings that say that our Ego (which could also be called our Shadow) and our Higher Self (which is our Light) cannot coexist. Light and Dark Within can and do exist beside each other. This is not quite true, as I will go on to explain. Throughout this article, I will use the term Higher Self to denote the Inner Being/Higher Self/Divine Self.

Because we have a living essence, we still have a spark of the Christ consciousness in us, no matter how dark and egoistic we become. Our Higher Self is in us because we still have a connection with the Divinity of the force of the Higher Self. However, this force is only in us to a certain point, a very small percentage relative to the amount of consciousness that we have set free of the ego.

The Role of Three

The Law of Three

The Law of Three

If you have ever read about the Kabbalah, the Sephiroth are almost always grouped in threes. What is The Law of Three in this case? There is a good reason for three. The Law of Three is one of the fundamental laws that nature is based upon. The Trinity is a form of balance. You have an initial first force that begins. You have the third force that destroys or ends. In-between those two you have the force of Balance that maintains. You can call these forces notes, as in musical notes. The first force would be the note ‘Do’ (as in Do, Re, Mi, Far, So), and would be known as the note that begins something. Continue Reading

Tarot and The Kabbalah

In the Tarot and The Kabbalah, the term ‘Arcana’ is plural. The singular aspect of this term is ‘Arcanum.’ ‘Arcanum’ refers to a type of knowledge, which is for the initiated, or a kind of knowledge that is mysterious for the average person. It is a science or understanding that one has to be introduced to. When we study the twenty-two Arcana, we are studying twenty-two laws, or twenty-two mysteries, that we have to be initiated into experientially in order to understand them.
