Welcome all, to the first entry of Djed Taroth page. I would like to introduce all the readers and followers to my thoughts on taroth practice and help you to befriend with what I do.
Today I would like to get into the realm of Wheel of Fortune Card. As I writing now I am looking at the ticking clock and it's face waiting for the next Yuletide in my life thinking of what is change really.
Many of my querents as I call my customers make me think of the origins of the term querent - quærēns meaning the one who seeks and typical questions that come with the readings - "What am I really looking for?" or maybe as a person with certain deal of passive restraint towards her/his own will would say: "What am I looking forward to?"
Taroth describes our life's path as a line of starting and stopping points but there is a card divides our life stages in two - The Wheel of Fortune. It is not necessarily the symmetrical halves we talking here but rather a period set between one clause and another summing up what has been already accomplished. Time of accumulating knowledge and shaping the character. Setting standards and setting example.
There are many standards to set in this realm of ever-expanding race towards unknown. We are shaped by opinions, the gem of information. We set up new courses by learning ourselves through acceptance or opposition. By following traits or rejecting them.
Re-shaping the world outside has somewhat godly touch to it. God gave names to things and shaped the structure of them in the universal make up. As we put ourselves in the position of our own authority - we give ourselves allowance to shape things accordingly - following our own beliefs - especially one: I am making my own world.
Fortune, it seems, is not only about shaping what's seen with a naked eye. Taroth gives an outlet of acknowledging the negative aspect of our own creativity - the force of ego. It works with expanding unconscious message. We are proving self-worth which quite often turns out to be a threat to ourselves. As we affirm our own value by reassuring - we tend to mould life to our own benefit. How we see ourselves and others seems to lack the element of being objective. This ultimately leads to errors of self-assesment.
The challenge of being true to yourself lies not only in knowing where and how stages of our existence pass but also in balancing the inner world with recognising our own vision. The one that is shaped on this very thin line crossing our daily experience, self-observance.
Strangely enough our body is wise enough to feel the passing stages. So does the mind. Maybe the art of it lies in not letting the emotions take the reign of the natural flow. Just letting them go - as ever in free form art of watching the clouds going by...
