Voodoo Tarot of New Orleans by Sallie Ann Glassman.
A strong and
powerful deck. There is enough
magic in the deck & book to get you into serious trouble and nothing to get you out of trouble once you get in. Remember that in all forms of magic, it’s easier to get into trouble & harder to get out of it than novices imagine. On the other hand, there’s nothing here that will kill you. As for the “real stuff”, there’s not a trace. If you want that (and you probably do, that’s why you’re reading this), you’ll still have to find a magician to initiate you. Here’s a useful hint: As long as you’re looking for him, he’ll avoid you. It’s not personal, it’s just the western version of “one hand clapping”.

The Crab. June 22 to July 22.
The
Cancerian has many potential faults. They can be untidy, sulky, devious, moody, inclined to self-pity because of an inferiority complex, brood on insults (very often imagined), yet are easily flattered. They can be tactless and difficult yet, because they are normally ambitious, they will curry favor by floating with majority opinions, outlooks and fashions of the day. As a result they often change their opinions and loyalties and, indeed, their occupations, and lack stability. They are easily corrupted and, because they are convincing romanticizers, can make successful confidence tricksters. Their romanticism in another sense make them ardent supporters of causes, for example a football team with whose heroes they can identify in a world of fantasy.

SIGN OF THE MONTH GEMINI (MAY21 – JUNE21):
Gemini (the twins) is a very complex and confusing sign. To some people you can seem like a wonderful friend, while to others you will seem two-faced and sneaky.
You will act like a child for most of your life. That includes both the good and bad characteristics of children. You are happy and energetic when things go right for you. However, when things go wrong, you can be passive-aggressive and very mean.

Veda is a Sanskrit word which means ‘knowledge’.'Vedic’ means ‘of the knowledge’. This word was usedin ancient India to describe the original culture, the original knowledge given to humans at the beginningof creation. It was passed down orally since the timeof creation, then eventually in written form to the present. ‘Vedic’ refers to original knowledge given by
God to humankind.
Vedic Astrology comes from the Vedic scriptures of ancient India. The centerpiece book on
Vedic Astrology is the
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. Thisis the great scripture on astrology by Sage Parashara.
At first glance the I Ching seems like a great chowder of images. Familiar, ordinary ones: a bowl, spoon, window, wheel. Urban, pastoral, alleyways, cows. Bizarre, fairy tale. And there are snatches of strange stories imbedded in fortune cookie epigrams, common sense amid gibberish.
Beneath it all, sixty-four hexagrams. A geometrical reiteration of two elements whose values are the simple inversion of each other (open/closed, black/white, zero/one; broken/ unbroken; male/female [cable connections, plugs]. Responsive/ receptive). Pure, whole numbers. Each hexagram has a name, and from that name come images. From the images come implications and from those implications come potential actions. Each hexagram: the systematic, natural, patterned unfolding of a cycle in graphic form.

Although the origins of the Tarot are perfectly obscure, there is a very interesting piece of quite modern history, history well within the memory of living man, which is extremely significant, and will be found, as the thesis develops, to sustain it in a very remarkable way. In the middle of the nineteenth century, there arose a very great Qabalist and scholar, who still annoys dull people by his habit of diverting himself at their expense by making fools of them posthumously. His name was Alphonse Louis Constant, and he was an Abbé of the Roman Church. For his “nom-de-guerre” he translated his name into Hebrew-Eliphas Levi Zahed, and he is very generally known as Eliphas Levi. Eliphas Levi was a philosopher and an artist, besides being a supreme literary stylist and a practical joker of the variety called “Pince sans rire”; and, being an artist and a profound symbolist, he was immensely attracted by the Tarot.

The origin of this pack of cards is very obscure. Some authorities seek to put it back as far as the ancient Egyptian Mysteries; others try to bring it forward as late as the fifteenth or even the sixteenth century. But the Tarot certainly existed, in what may be called the classical form, as early as the fourteenth century; for packs of that date are extant, and the form has not varied in any notable respect since that time.

The Past Life reading can give insight into the very basic question of “Why am I here?” It can help to point out hidden talents, attitudes, and karma that the individual has brought into this lifetime. It can also gives clues as to what should be accomplished in this lifetime.
A modified Celtic Cross spread is used for this reading; only cards in Positions One through Six are laid out on the table. The positions and definitions of each position are outlined below.

Significator:This is the first card laid on the table, chosen from the four-stack cut as previously defined. Card 1 lays on top of the Significator. Represents the situation as it is now.
Card 2:Represents what is crossing the situation, for good or bad.
Card 3:Represents the basis of the question.
Card 4:Represents the past. It could be either the distant past that is influencing the situation, or a situation that is currently passing away.
Card 5:Represents what crowns and could possibly come into being, i.e., an alternative course of action.
Card 6:Represents the near future. If Cards 5 and 6 are complementary, Card 5 does not represent an alternate path, but strengthens the probability of Card 6.

Find any five
tarot readers, and you will find five different ways to choose a
Significator. A Significator is that one particular
card that symbolizes the person asking for
a reading. About the only thing readers will agree on is that the
Significator should be a Court card, and even then some take exception!
As far as human attributes are concerned, each of the court cards represents a coloring and temperament for a man or woman.
Knights, Kings and Queens are said to represent men and women who have been or are married.
Princes and Princesses represent men and women who have never been married. Princesses can also represent children, male and female.
