Tarot Cards and Arcana in general.

[SkieFireYokana]

I have the same sort of system for psychoanalysis, except mine is on a subconscious level and operates more on "Can I see them doing this within my knowledge of them?". Interestingly, it makes for a moderately accurate gaydar. In text is when it's the best, because I normally can--after a year or two of talking via IM--understand the two or three or sometimes only one possible line that they'll respond with. Longer responses escape me, but I know what word they'll use--"Yeah", "Eh.", "Sure.", et cetera--so what others might attribute to psychic activity I attribute to knowledge of the person. My mind puts all the information I have of someone into a sort of "aura" around them, which FEELS like something nonphysical that is there, but I don't know it is for certain. The evidence is actually towards the "magickal" realm--I prefer "ethereal" or "psionic"--existing, but I have no way to conclude once and for all which it is. I just sort of treat both as plausible, and to tell the truth I sort of believe both.

I use majick as I do a teaspoon. Or a gun. Or a book. Or my hand. Or this computer. Or you!

All of these things exist outside of my self.

And in order to have any influence of any of these things I must understand the purpose for their existence first.

And then I must accept that I am about to change their existence.

I use tarot, candles, crystals, water, spirit to explain, test and accept the existence of the things and creatures around me.

Different ways to look at the many facets of life. To bring an understanding about existence that I can accept. Or in the case of another coming to me for communication, an understanding that they can accept.

Tarot cards are as useful as the book. They can give instructions on how to accomplish a task. Or they can tell a story for the purpose of enlightenment of the seeker. It is not my will that enhances the reading. But my reading and instruction that influences the will of the seeker. The only source of mystisism is that of the spirits of myself and the seeker coming into contact with one another.

The candles I use as I do the gun. To direct the light as I would the bullet. Or to help interupt and redirect the will of a person. Many, many people believe in candle majick even though they deny the existence of majick. Happy birthday to you! Now make a wish and blow out your candles. If you can blow out the light of the candles with one breath your wish will come true.

The teaspoon and the crystals serve the purpose of meditation.

I could pour the sugar from the bowl and swirl the cup to mix the sugar into my tea. But to pick up the spoon is to acknowledge the spoons purpose. And as I scoop from the sugar bowl I concentrate on the correct amount of surgar for the enjoyment of my tea. As I use the teaspoon to stir the tea I enjoy the chimes of the spoon striking the sides of my cup. It is relaxing and the swirls of the tea created by the teaspoon help me to meditate and anticipate the taste of the tea. And to help to bring me into the realization of tea time.

Water and majick both exist in similar fashions. As a vast ocean that was once thought to be forever and unexplainable. Now we use it travel, and food, and recreation. And we still do not know every thing about it.
As with a river you can stretch out your hand and take a drink of majick or you can jump into it and let it carry you where it will.
Without the existence of water life can be miserable. But if you are the one that has control of the water you can influence the will of life around you. But if you are the one without the water, then he who has it has influence in your life. And you will listen!
Water can fit into any container that you may find. Water follows the riverbed or it overflows its boudaries and flows where it wills.
Water can drowned you or it can save your life.
The flow of water can be stopped by placing barriers in its path. And yet if you can influence its speed and concentrate its flow enough. You can cut steel!


Both water and majick are very important to life.

I am using my hands to type on this here computer in order to communicate to you of majick.
So that we may share a common spirituality.

Thanks for listening.
