Who said anything about it showing the future...?

Perhaps you should ask yourself what is the true nature of divination...

...'coz it ain't about foretelling the future...!

I hate to re-iterate a point... So what are we/you doing about it? Maplewoman's point is poignant - we need to talk about the reality of the situation, but also talk of solutions - real, everyday solutions that normal people like you and I can actually achieve on a daily basis (without needing to re...

Yep, thats what I'm talking about! Adversity is what the Universe throws at us to see whether we've learned from all the spiritual teachings we've read/heard/etc... Persistence, not resistance! I have a lot of hope that my daughter and her descendants will do things a lot better than what we're doin...

Hi all, I have to say that I am a bit dismayed by the general mood of doom'n'gloom on this thread. I would have thought that people involved in spirituality and mysticism would have it a little more together. I know things are bad, but I also think these attitudes don't serve anyone or anything. Its...

I think those who are intimately familiar with the Tarot may dispute some (or maybe all) of those astrological correspondences. These were attributed by the Order of the Golden Dawn, of which AE Waite and Aleister Crowley were both members of. They originally only had the 7 Planets, but in recent ti...

To continue... Yin and Yang are not absolute states! Just because one thing is describes as yin, doesn't mean it will always be (even before it is 'changed' into something else). That which is yin, because it is so in relation to something else specifically which is yang. Here's the Sesame Street ex...

Now that I've shared the four characteristics, I'd like to just dispute some of the many misunderstandings of what yin and yang represent. Yes, they symbolise polar opposites. But remember, they are inter-related. Daoism, and the whole idea of yin/yang, is based on the greater notion of RELATIVITY. ...

Firstly: Fisherman, that was a brilliantly beautiful story. I am glad that the symbol of yin-yang was able to generate such deep, personal introspection and healing. I could really relate to some of your plight.... I'd venture to say that most of us could... Awesome, man. Truly awesome. I'd like to ...

what is it exactly you want to know....? It is quite a detailed study, but well worth it, because this is the oldest extant oracle /wisdom text in the world, and IMHO the best. A good understanding of Daoism is essential - not the religious aspects so much, but the ideas of mystical daoism, which is...

I find emptying one's conscious mind and throwing the cards with no pre-determined query usually gives us a glimpse of the energy within us and surrounding us - kind of like doing a pH test on water, or a measuring the quality of the air.... something like that. All Major cards? Well, as an old Lako...

To quote from Frank Herbert's God Emperor of Dune : From the view of infinity, any defined long-term is actually short-term... or words to that effect... Does anyone out there still class Tarot as a system of fortune/future-telling? Certainly here the Tarot community I am involved with here in Austr...

Sounds like the Thoth to me.... that Aleister Crowley was a bit of a trickster-jester.... When i bought my copy of Thoth, it said it had the extra magus card too.... it never did, and unlike you lightemerging, the extra magus never showed up... I had a similar thing happen to me, although it was the...

I have a copy of the Haindl.... .... I started doing readings for others with this deck after growing up and learning with Crowley's Thoth tarot. The imagery is fantastic, especially the Majors. The Minors and Courts are a little difficult. I find Haindl's use of Crowley's titles for the cards somew...

By the way, Samson:

That is an awesome grafik you are using as an avatar - I've been hunting the net for years trying to find someone who has depicted the yin-yang dynamism in animated form....

...where did you get it, and can I have a copy for my own personal use?

Thanks
