It's On The Cards!

The Tarot is a pictographic card based diagram of everything in creation.

The visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown.   It is an ancient science rooted in Kabbalah, Hermeticism and ancient symbolism. 

Tarot is controversial because there is no actual evidence that links these various ancient sciences to the Tarot cards, however they all match up with the esoteric information of these different practices.

Baphomet presents it all... We do have a lower nature!

“The goat on the frontispiece carries the sign of the pentagram on the forehead, with one point at the top, a symbol of light, his two hands forming the sign of Hermeticism, the one pointing up to the white moon of Chesed, the other pointing down to the black one of Geburah.

As above So below... 

This sign expresses the perfect harmony of mercy with justice. His one arm is female, the other male like the ones of the androgyn of Khunrath, the attributes of which we had to unite with those of our goat because he is one and the same symbol.

The flame of intelligence shining between his horns is the magic light of the universal balance, the image of the soul elevated above matter, as the flame, whilst being tied to matter, shines above it.

The ugly beast’s head expresses the horror of the sinner, whose materially acting, solely responsible part has to bear the punishment exclusively; because the soul is insensitive according to its nature and can only suffer when it materializes.

The rod standing instead of genitals symbolizes eternal life, the body covered with scales the water, the semi-circle above it the atmosphere, the feathers following above the volatile.

Humanity is represented by the two breasts and the androgyn arms of this sphinx of the occult sciences.”
[3. Eliphas Levi, Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie]

Baphomet depicts the duel nature of our Divinity and everything that impresses on Life.  We all have a lower nature as well as a higher nature.  We keep our soul easy by choosing the higher nature always over the lower.  In doing so we are acting out of our divine nature.

"The symbols of the wise always become the idols of the ignorant multitude. What the Chiefs of the Order really believed and taught, is indicated to the Adepts by the hints contained in the high Degrees of Free-Masonry, and by the symbols which only the Adepts understand.”
 [10. Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma]

Read heaps more cool stuff about Baphomet and the truth of the symbolism behind this... go back over the last paragraph and make sure you are not one of these spoken of.

The Rosarium philosophorum (the Rosary
 of the Philosophers) was first printed at Frankfurt in 1550 as the second part of an alchemical compendium De Alchimia opuscula complura veterum philosophorum. 

 The series of 20 woodcuts appears with German text (not the Latin of the text of the book) of some verses, and thus it may have been taken from some other printing project for a book in German.

Interesting excerpt from the article regarding the numerical values of the hebrew letters

This brief outline above relating to the “Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain is quite a recognizable pattern (empyrean = star, two serpents and four stars); 1 to 2 to 4: septenary not   only found in Jung’s and Edinger’s writings when they discuss the birth of consciousness but also from the central core of the Old and New Testaments: Zechariah 14:4.

This is also found in the first letter of Genesis: BETH?, which in its spelling has a Gematria value of 412: that is a transposition of 1, 2, and 4. This symbolism is additionally elaborated on with the obelisk and round fountain.

At the top of the obelisk is a Lotus Flower, which represents the DOT. The obelisk represents the LINE and the fountain represents the CIRCLE, which again symbolizes the birth of consciousness.

Only a person that understands the deeper esoteric and Kabbalistic nature of the first chapter of Genesis could have known to depict the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire andWater (four stars) as coming from the mouth of God.

That is nigh unto an impossibility to envisage not only from a translated text of the Hebrew but even well educated Jews that read and write Hebrew on a daily basis are unaware of this nuance in the text.

The white area surrounding the Hebrew alphabet’s second letter BETH? [first written letter of the Torah] depicts the seventeenth letter: PEI??: which symbolically represents ‘mouth’: as in the mouth of God.

PEI?? in turn, when scribed, shows the white area in its folds to be a BETH?: second letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which symbolically means ‘house: i.e.container’.

The world beyond the mouths of these two serpents is represented by the four nuclear forces: electromagnetism, weak bosons, strong gluons, and graviton: i.e. fire, earth, air and water.

Anything preceding these two mouths: two serpents and lone star represent the empyrean; God: the Trinity in its creative mode.

The four elements (stars) belching from the mouths of these two serpents should not be taken to represent a square nor is the fountain to be seen as a circle.

On a two dimensional surface it may appear that this is so but looking at this image in the light of the concept of a three dimensional reality it can be easily seen that the sphere is within the cube.

In the Zohar there is a reference to the first word of Genesis: Bereshith’s six letters representing the six ordinal directions^.: i.e. east, west, north, south, up and down that, in and of themselves, would create a cube or a sphere denoting the time/space continuum.

The math is not too difficult to perform. Since Beth is the first letter #2 the radius of the square is two, the diameter is four, and four squared is sixteen: 4² and cubed is sixty-four: 4³.

The math of the sphere: pi x diameter x 4 to obtain the surface area of the sphere = 50.26… Thus the volume of the sphere: 33.51… is not equal to the volume of the cube.

There can only be whole words, verses and chapters in the bible: not portions thereof.

Thus it is found that the surface of the sphere: 50.26… represents symbolically the 50-chapters in the book of Genesis and the volume of the sphere: 33.51… when this quotient is reversed and the decimal point is removed from the equation the calculation symbolically points to the 1533-verses found in the 50-chapters of the book of Genesis.

Thus the concept of the cube and the sphere in the Rosarium Philosophorum is no mere whim. This also answers the question concerning the squaring of the circle.

This is a highly sophisticated method to communicating this science across the epochs of humanity history and it is also is a way of authenticating the document veracity and authenticity. This is a powerful method [magic if you will] of writing a document the uninitiated would be out of his or her depth to fathom.

Beneath the two serpents figure in this image are the Sun and the Moon, which symbolically represent these reptiles. Jung and Edinger saw these serpents as cold blooded and heartless and not warm blooded as human feeling.

This idea should be taken as cosmic law coming directly from the empyrean. The spiritual and cosmic universe would not survive if spiritual and cosmic law changed on a subjective emotional whim.

The Zohar says that Yahweh [Yud ?] represents the Sun and Elohym [Aleph?] represents the Moon. More of that will be explained in the second image.

In this ‘Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain image the lone Star is between the Sun and Moon, which is represented in the three water spouts in the fountain. Here the fountain’s three water spouts (symbolically Trinity) obviously comes from the same source (empyrean) that has three different purposes [three persons in one God] that pour into the one basin of water: cosmic ‘material’ universe.

Nevertheless, the image of the fountain gives off the impression of being self-sustaining; however it is not. Of course a normal everyday fountain in the midst of a city is not self-sustaining for the water is constantly being refreshed as is the cosmic ‘material’ universe being constantly refreshed by the empyrean. The fountain implied this through the three water spouts.

In other words this alchemical image literally says the cosmic ‘material’ universe is not self-sustaining as does the first letter of Genesis: BETH. If the entire material universe was to blink out of existence it would all begin again through the MONAD, which is what BETH and PEI combined symbolize.

The creation of the universe depicted by the belching vapors from the mouths of the two serpents is reenacted symbolically in the fountain’s symbolism: this is a redundancy, and yet, an example of the age old maxim: as above so below.

The fountain represents the constellation of the empyrean’s dynamic forces condensed into a coherent whole that can be understood by the use of the soul/psyche’s cognitive abilities.

The fountain is a way of expressing that the creation process: the fountain does not depict the empyrean: God emitting divine substance into the material universe in a devil may care attitude rather the inclusion of the fountain suggest that there is an intelligent purpose behind the process.

There are three examples of the Trinity summarized in this first image each expressing the same concept differently:

The two serpents: Yahweh and Elohym belching vapors into the material universe, which denotes the first example of the opposites. It is the empyrean that spurs or initiates the two serpents into action.

This will be understood as the commentary continues. Note that this is not the first and only account of the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. Each time that God answers a prayer this process is called forth for those that have been given a psychic numinous luminosity (vision): born again^.
The Sun (Yahweh), Moon (Elohym) and Star (Empyrean: God). This will be discussed further in the second image.

The three spouts in the fountain: three different color waters. The basin demonstrates that the belching vapors from the empyrean concretize into Astrological constellations, which more than infers that the whole of the infinite material creation is represented by the Zodiac. Therefore, it suggests that the material universe is the container that holds within its grasp the Eucharist: divine substance. The constellations of the Zodiac represent the chalice at the Catholic Mass.

This woodcut carving image and the Genesis creation account denotes quite clearly that God can be comprehended through the process of understanding the symbolism of mythology that cloths His divine Word.

This is an awesome concept because it suggests that the symbolism that esoterically cloths the process of creation is analogous and equal to the so-called material universe that contains the divine substance.

This more than infers that the soul/psyche is that container: the universe and the world as each individual knows it is in actuality the psychic envelope of the soul/psyche.

In the prologue of the Zohar there is a fanciful tale concerning how the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet coming before the Lord of the Universe to have the world made through one of them.

The Zoharic text narrates how each of the letters of the alphabet is rejected for one reason or another: good or ill until the second letter: BETH of the Hebrew alphabet arrives on the scene and is chosen as the perfect candidate/conduit.

Aleph the first letter is mysteriously not given an audience before Beth is chosen, yet the text says Aleph was chosen to head the Ten Commandments.

Actually, Aleph is the key to why Beth was chosen. Aleph when spelt out is Aleph-Lemmed-Pei. This would read Al-Pei or El/Pei or mouth of God.

This is because El: the Most High God of Melchizedek King of Salem of the Old and New Testaments is in the empyrean, whereas, the mouth is the portal [liken to a spout?], whatever that may be, to the cosmic ‘material’ universe.

The word Aleph has the Gematria value of 111, which is the numerical value of all three letters: Aleph #1, Yud, #10 and Qoph #100 that has the common denominator #1, which are the letters of the Holy Trinity.

This letter Aleph is most likely where Catholicism obtained its concept of the Trinity because it is well worked out in the reading of the first verse of Genesis from the first word of Genesis.

The first verse of Genesis was conceptually structured from the nuances in the first word: BERESHITH long before it was penned in detail.

When the first word of Genesis: BERESHITH is analyzed from the text of the original Hebrew the story outlined in the prologue of the Zohar concerning the legend of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet comes to life as the source for the myth in the Zoharic text.

So once the Genesis Formula is read and understood it can be seen that the waters of the ‘Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain is sent back to its original source just as the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are sent back into the empyrean: God for recycling. In every sense the Waters of Creation are the Souls that come into the world.

It must be understood that the concept CHRIST is the controlling factor in all that has to do with the Old and New Testaments for without His intercession there would be no religion anywhere in the world.

To demonstrate this in the Judeao Christian Scripture it is worth pointing out that the last four letters of the Hebrew alphabet spells out the word CHRIST in Greek using Hebrew letters: Qoph ?, Resh (?), Shin (?),Tav (?): spell out krst-CHRIST.

Since the letter PEI ?? exudes the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet: BETH ? then it should be looked at more closely.

Each of the 22-Hebrew letters and the five final letters totaling to 27-letters are grouped according to their own common denominators: i.e. BETH ? #2, Kaf ? #20, and RESH ? #200 all have the same common denominator of two: #2.

Each of these letters is interchangeable, exactly as was seen with Aleph ?, Yud ? and Qoph ? with the common denominator of one: #1.

It can only be surmised that this is why these three letters with the same common denominator of #2 are the first letters depicted in the Torah.

Not that they were the first but actually depicted visually or abstractly first.

All the Hebrew letters should be conceptualized as seeds having their own seed within themselves.

BETH is spelt: BETH-YUD-TAV and RESH is spelt RESH-ALEPH-SHIN.

When BETH opens up to be impregnated RESH is inserted as a new Heaven and a new Earth: thus the word BERESHITH ?????? is formed.

In fact it can be said that the entire Old and New Testaments are commentaries on the first letter of Genesis: BETH ?or should it be PEI ? (actually it is both: combined)?

Now that it has been demonstrated that PEI ?? is the mystical first letter of Genesis it must be understood that it is the governing factor in the Old and New Testaments.

Since PEI ?? (the 17th Hebrew letter) means ‘mouth’ this implies 32-teeth that reside in the mouth coupled with the knowledge that the seventeenth Tarot Card: is the Star. Is it not interesting that the 18th and 19thTarot Cards are the Moon and the Sun respectively?

The Star sitting between the Moon and the Sun is precisely what depicted here is in the ‘Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain’s alchemical image.

Yet, at the beginning of the Torah before a letter is actually written there is an implied significance to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life [32-teeth in the mouth] and the Star of David via the letter PEI ?? itself.

In the main body of the text of the first chapter of Genesis the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and the Star of David is much more highly developed esoterically.

The 32-Elohyms used in the text of the first chapter of Genesis when placed in sequential order give off the pattern of these graphic images.

The Elohyms in the categories they are listed under when 180° from another aids mapping the graphic images into the text.

The actual structural frame of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life was literally worked into the text by the ten Sefirahs.

All of this is here discussed only to demonstrate the sophisticated nature of the esoteric science being dealt with.

There is so much that has to be understood about the first word of Genesis BERESHITH ??????as well as the first chapter of Genesis as a whole before this Alchemical ‘Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain image can be fully understood; however, I will not rehash what I have place in other writings but will touch on them generally.

It was mentioned above that the Yahweh and Elohym represent the Sun and Moon respectively. In fact the entire first chapter of Genesis brings this point out about the Sun and Moon quite clearly as having to do with its overall text.

There are 434-Hebrew words in the first chapter of Genesis. There is but one letter in the Hebrew alphabet that has that numerical value 434 and that is Daleth, the 4th letter, which symbolically means ‘Door.

Couple this information with the pattern of 31-words in the first day of Creation and 38-words in the second day of creation, which totals to 69-Hebrew words.

Both the third and fourth days of creation have 69-Hebrew words. This totals to 207-Hebrew words in the first four days of creation. The word ‘light’ in Hebrew has a total Gematria value of 207.

In the first four chapters of Genesis there are a total of 1449-Hebrew words:
1449 / 69 = 21^‘. The twenty-second group of 69-words is found in the first chapter: there are 69-groups of words [142-words = septenary] held together by 80-hyphens: 434 – 69 = 365: Solar Year and 434 – 80 = 354: Lunar Year. Hyphens really have no direct meaning other than to separate words.

The hyphens get their glory from the group of 69-words just as the Moon gets its glory from the Sun as the esoteric science obtains its glory from the surface text of the sacred scriptures.

The inference is that the surface text represents the intellectual ‘literal’ realm of Yahweh (Sun) and the esoteric knowledge of abstractions is of Elohym’s (Moon) realm: this twain of literalism and abstractions can never meet: they will always be at war and the victor will assimilate the other just as the dominant personality exerts itself in any marriage: this concept is also seen in the surface text of the Torah in relationship to the esoteric science’s married to the text.

It should be mentioned that the fifth and sixth days of creation have a combined total of 206-words, which coincide with the 206-bones in the human body.

The first two verses of Genesis have 21-words but the first word can be seen as two: BERESHITH = ‘created six’, thus pointing to the 22-letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The inference here is that the 207-letters of the first four days of creation that represent LIGHT mingle with the 206-words, which represent the skeleton of the body.

The word Yahweh has a Gematria value of #26 that reduces to the lowest common denominator of #8 and Elohym has a Gematria value of #86 that reduces to the lowest common denominator of #5: these two numbers #5 and #8 are a set in the sequence in the Fibonacci sequence concerning the Golden Ratio, which has to do with all organic life on earth: hence this is the foreshadowing of the human, vegetable and animal kingdoms.

In the creation and maintaining of the cosmic material universe organic life was already foreordained before the foundations of the earth. Combined Yahweh #8 and Elohym #5 totals to #13, with a lower common denominator of #4: symbolically Door #4 or Water #40: as in waters of creation: symbolically the waters of the ‘Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain[i].

This is why the breath (spirit) of God coming from the MOUTH (Pei) of Godbrooded over the face of the waters in the second verse of Genesis. Combined the forces of creation [Yahweh and Elohym] will not interact unless the spirit or breath of God [third aspect of the Trinity] moves over the still waters: as in initiating action.

Unless there is a consensus in the Trinity as to how the opposites are to interact there cannot be a material creation. This is why creation is depicted as a fountain in this alchemical image: so that it can be envisage as the divine waters being continuously replenished.

Thus God: Trinity is the sole cause of the creation of the opposites. To create a universe of opposites organic life had to be the prerequisite for creation. The only thing that creates life is the interaction of the opposites otherwise there would be no creation to speak of or to maintain.

Thus here it has been established that humanity: Adam was not created for the world but rather the world was created for humanity: Adam.

When the nuances in the Sun and Moon symbiotic relationship is considered the initiate can envisage why mathematics is cold. When the Moon is out during the night time hours the universe can be studied mathematically objectively; however, the warmed of the Sun implies organic life: subjective thinking because the universe is hidden behind the glare of the Sun during the day time hours: out of sight out of mind.

The basin of the ‘Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain is quite unique for it stands on the earth on three animal paws: nature. With the sun and the moon above and the sky between the earth and the water depicts the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water as suggested by four stars squared.

The six stars on the front side of the basin infer six stars on the backside of the basin, which infers that the basin is in fact a symbolical representation of the Zodiac. Therefore, the basin is a collection or circle of animals as is the Zodiac cycle. Since the basin’s legs are depicted as animal paws touching the earth it suggests that the Zodiac impels but does not compel: they are not grasping claws.

The three paws suggest that the Trinity takes on anthropomorphic tendencies by immersing/concretizing itself symbolically into the mythology of Astrology.

This is further collaborated by the fact that the three spouts pours water: or let’s say the empyrean’s substance into the basin, which flows to the outer rim concretizing into the mythology of Astrology/Zodiac. The empyrean’s substance or primordial ooze would therefore be the hierarchal circle of angels emanating out from the empyrean: God’s creative abode.

The number three as in three spouts, three paws and the Trinity in relationship to the symbolism of the Zodiac implies Quadruplicities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable interlaced with the Triplicities of Astrology: Earth, Air, Fire and Water (four).

This ‘Mercurial’ Mandala Fountain is going out of its way to point to the Trinity immersing itself into Astrology, which is abhorrent to the majority of modern Christians.

This is because few people know or understand what Astrology is. It is not a fortune telling tool though it is a predictive tool for it is conceived abstractly from mathematics.

Astrology merely aids the initiate into decoding the esoteric science embedded mathematically and symbolically into the world literature. As a predictive tool an initiate can foresee patterns that must emerge somewhere in the immediate text.

Astrology is a product of the Universal Mathematical Matrix: The Prima Materia (Perennial Matrix).

Which Jung Archetype Best Describes You?

I participated in the questionnaire and it was no surprize to me to find that my archetype is the Sage.  I am said to be wise beyond my years and isn't this clever that this is a card that comes up for me in the Tarot also in the form of the King.

Kings: Keyword - KnowledgeMany explanations actually start with the King because the King starts things off. This person is a motivator, an instigator of new projects. Planning, organizing, moving things forward, the King is the person to consult. When interpreting tarot cards of the minor arcana, a king’s knowledge is power, so use this person’s advice to your advantage.

I am the sage! According to Carl Jung, the sage represents wisdom and the search for truth. You are wise beyond your years, patient and a deep thinker.

You're driven by a thirst for knowledge. One of your greatest fears is being ignorant, misled, or duped.
You're incredibly intelligent but you risk over analyzing until you're incapable of actually making a decision.
You're an old soul and wise beyond your years, but Jung would tell you don't get lost in the clouds!

"The kingdom of heaven is within you and who so ever shall know himself shall find it".

From the Egyptian Mystery Series by Dee Smith

The following is what I transcribed while listening to the video and learning as I typed a manuscript for my own use and for the use of anyone else who feels they would like to see what the hell is really going on.

I am so grateful to Dee at Thyalwaysseek for the indepth wisdom from which all of the videos in this series have been presented for the benefit of the planet.

Following the trail of scattered pieces left to us we can reclaim our divinity once again.  For us to know our divinity we have to know thyself as the ancient Egyptian proverb tells us "The kingdom of heaven is within you and who so ever shall know himself shall find it". 

We are all ethereal beings but we have forgotten this.  Before we can unlock and understand  the meanings in all of the symbolism we must first know who we are.

 This is where the key of the TAROT along with the newly uncovered knowledge from ancient Egypt help us to reveal the truth that has been hidden for so long.  To begin to know ourselves, we must once again think to the Fibonacci sequence and remember that everything expands and grows using this sequence along with sacred geometry.  When we use this universal sequence of numbers and the golden mean spiral along with the TAROT we begin to see this hidden information revealed.

Everything in our universe births, expands and grows using this blue print.  When we look further into the Golden Mean Spiral we can see it is divided into sections.  When we correspond these Golden mean sections to the Major Accanna in the Tarot we begin to understand the evolution of our souls and our true divinity.

However before we start down the path of the TAROT and begin to unravel their secrets  lets first get a bit of history to this key that has been left to us.  The Tarots original author is unknown and it is also uncertain as to exactly where and when the Tarot came into existence but it is believed to  have originated in Egypt about 3500 years ago and was brought to Europe by the Rom or Gypsies as they traveled to Europe from India.

Due to the increasing religious intolerance of the antichrist Catholics, and their attempts to suppress  esoteric knowledge and sacred truths from humanity, The Magi who were in possession of this sacred knowledge were forced to encrypt these secrets into the TAROT CARDS to keep this ancient wisdom safe from manipulation and destruction.

 THE TAROT was devised using the principals of the Kabbalah but we can also see symbolism from Ancient Egypt,The Runes, Astrology and Numerology and they also equate to the Chakras and colour symbolism.

Qabalistic Tree of Life In the Golden Dawn tradition the Emperor is associated with path 15, and the Star with path 28. However, my tradition is not that of the Golden Dawn. My tradition is from the Gareth Knight, Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, Servants of the Light lineage, which places the Emperor on path 28, and the Star on path 15. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Tarot consists of a deck of  78 cards in total.  This is made up of 22 Major Acana cards numbered from Zero to 21 and the Minor Acana consists of 56 cards however it is the Major Acana cards that we will focus on to help us decode this hidden information. 

Now we have an understanding of the importance of the TAROT and that they are not some novelty for telling fortunes as we have been led to believe.

The First card is the ZERO CARD, and not only does the zero card represent the beginning of the Major Acana in the Tarot but it is also the first number of the fibonacci secquence. 

This card ZERO equates to the Fool and represents Orion the location for  the God consciousness in our material realm.  We can see this also in the VICONTI TAROT CARDS that surfaced around the 15th Century.  On this card you can see a clear depiction of Orion with his club and feathers in his hair.  We see that the Rider Waite Tarot card also shows  the Fool  with a feather in his cap and if we look at ancient constellation maps we see that Orion is depicted with a club and once again feathers in his cap, These feathers as with the feather that is placed on the scale to weighed against the heart as in the ancient Egyptian weighing of the heart ceremony are symbolic of the god light of Orion.

Some feathers like peacock and duck feathers display their colour with a process called structural colouring  instead of pigment.  Structural colouring is where the cellular structure of the feather or as with the shells of scarab beetles are actually formed in a way where they refract wave lengths of light to their create their colour.  So once again we see this connection to changing angles of light also contained within this symbolism.

This is where the term FEATHER in your CAP originates from.  This term was used to describe a great achievement or special honor.  For those whose hearts are equal in weight to the feather, that is a great acheivement and special honor indeed for they are rewarded with the highest consciouness in Zep Tepi or Aru  - The field of Reeds, as the ancient Egyptians described their garden of Eden.

We must pay attention to some of these old sayings as they are actually remnants of truth that have managed to survive.

When we look to the Kabbalah tree of life we see that the very top sephiroth is also connected to Orion and the Fool Card.  This Sephiroth is called Kether which means CROWN, it it also interpreted as both the top most and regal crown.  Just like the Crown chakra, it sits above the head and is not apart of the body, and this also why it is known as the crown because a crown is worn above the head. 

The symbol of the crown is also seen in many alchemical drawings of the male and female twins souls and is symbolic of the re uniting with God consciousness and thus being crowned,  This is why royalty wears crowns, as they are emanating this crowning of God consciousness however they are nothing but mere frauds that took the opportunity to enslave the masses and crown themselves.

All of the other sephiroth below the crown are likened to the body, which starts with the head depicted by CHOKMAH and BINAH with DALETH symbolic of the 'Third Eye' Chakra directly located in the middle.  The Third eye is also related to the Pineal Gland if we are to take the perspective of this area in the physical, and not the ethereal body. 

English: Diagram of chakras and Kundalini in a human being Italiano: Diagramma dei chakra e della Kundalini in un essere umano (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

DALETH is also called the Door or the 'Door of the Tent', and it is symbolic for this energy point being the gateway to god consciousness which is located at the CROWN. 

If we look to Hindu mythology we see that they saw the 'Third Eye' Chakra as a gateway, for they believed that the spiritual  energy from the external environments could enter their body through this gateway and hence, they take the utmost precaution in protecting it with spiritually positive protecting forces.  

From this point in the Kabbalah tree it desends downwards until it reaches the root Chakra that equates to MALKUTH.  But the symbolism on the fool card is not only symbolic of Orion, our God consciousness, it is also symbolizing the potential soul before it has been birthed into existence and splits into twin souls of male and female.  If we look to KETHER on the Kabbalah tree of life it represents the primal stirrings of intent in the AIN SOPH.

AIN SOPH in the KABBALAH means GOD prior to self manifestation.   This is because GOD manifests a part of himself in the souls that are birthed onto the material realm.  It is also said of KETHER, that it is so sublime that it is called in the ZOHAR the "most hidden of all hidden things" and is completely incomprehensible to man.  This is once again speaking of God for what else but God can be so incomprehensible to man.

On the card we see the FOOL is being depicted  in the ethereal, walking towards the cliffs edge in innocence completely unaware that he is about to be manifest onto the material realm below.  In his pack he is holding the unknown potential of the souls.  We see this is also connected to  KETHER, in that it contains all the potential for content though it contains no content itself and is therefore called "nothing".  We know the Number Zero also equates to nothing. 

The souls purity is also symbolized by the white flower, at this point as the number zero and Kether symbolizes, they are still only just a potential in Gods consciousness for they are not yet manifest.  The white sun is symbolic of the galactic core "Atum" and the dog is representing Sirrius or Canis Majoris and is known as the Dog Star. 

In ancient times the seasons following the stars appearance came to be known as the Dog days of Summer and coins retrieved from the island of CHIOS in the Agean Sea from the third century BC feature dogs or stars with emanating rays highlighting Sirius's importance.

Orions belt also points to the brightest star in the sky and that star is Sirius.  Orions Belt and Sirius also line up with significant locations of ancient sites around the world.  We see this with the Hopi Mesas that lines up with Orions belt and then we see Sirius correlating to the CHACKO Canyon.  In Mexico city the Streets of the Dead lines up with Orions Belt and Sirius correlates to the largest pyramid complex in the world, Chalula the Great Pyramid of the Sun.  In Egypt we see that Orions belt lines up with the three pyramids of Giza and Sirius lines up to Heliopolis which is one of the oldest cities in Egypt and is also known as the city of the sun.

We can see that Orion and Sirius are definitely related to each other and have an important connection so it is not surprizing we see the symbol for Sirius in the form of a white dog on the fool card.  In the other symbolism of the card we see the ice and the sun symbolic of the polarity of Gods infinite energy.  Energy is always equal in polarity of positive and negative.  This is what gives energy its force and momentum.

Now we understand what the FOOL Card is really representing we will now look at the male and female twin souls of the Magician and the High Priestess.

I had to include this picture because it is just like the mobile I crocheted and stiffened and hung in my back window of our house.

The Tarot ... The Fool Card

We are all immortal but this immortality comes at a price.   We must we worthy of this immortality and so we have accountability.  We are to be accountable in return for the gift of life, because this is how the universe sees our expression of soul.

We really do need to have been a good soul and to have lived a good and honest life.  We will have needed to have acted with good intent to all people and creatures. If we have followed these precepts, then immortality will be assured!

Only the best remains in existence ... This is the law of the universe.  This law plays out on multiple levels in the universe and these levels are known as the three great hermetic planes, Physical, Mental and Spirituality.  

In Egyptian wisdom, the heart is weighed against the feather of truth.  This is a reality shift  necessary to complete the infinite journey of the soul.

The kingdom of heaven is within you and whosoever shall know himself shall find it.

The Tarot

Learning to know yourself and understanding the signs and symbols and the newly uncovered knowledge from ancient Egypt that has been kept from us for so long

Using the Tarot the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Mean Triangle  and the correspondence of this to the Tarot..
The original author of the Tarot is unknown but it is said to have come from Egypt over 3500 years ago and brought to Europe by the Rom or Gypsies as they traveled to Europe from India.

The Magi encrypted sacred knowledge into the Tarot  to keep this ancient wisdom safe from manipulation and destruction.

The Tarot was devised from principals of the Kabbala, evident also is symbolism from ancient Egypt the runes astrology and numerology and they also correspond to the chakras and colour symbolism.

The deck consists of 72 Cards altogether

Major Acana 22 cards and  the minor Arcana consists of 56 cards.

The Major Acanna cards are the key to decoding and  understanding the secret wisdom.

THE FOOL

The first card is the 0 card  and this represents the beginning of the Major Arcana cards and is the Fool and this card represents Orion and the God Consciousness in our material realm.  The Fool has a feather in his cap and in ancient star maps Orion is depicted with a feather in his cap and the feather symbolism of the weighing of the heart.

The Fool Card : It is also Symbolizing the potential soul before its birthed into existence and splits into twin souls  of male and female.

On the card the fool is depicted in the ethereal, walking towards the cliffs edge in innocence, completely unaware that he is about to be manifest onto the material realm below.

In his pack he is holding the unknown potential of the souls.  It contains no content at all which means nothing and corresponds to the zero card.

The dog represents Canis Majoris or the Dog star aka  Sirius.   Sirius and Orion's belt points to each other and they line up with great sites around the planet as it does on the Fool Card in the form of the white dog.

We see the ice and the sun and this symbolizes the polarity of Gods infinite energy.   This energy is always equal as this is what gives energy its force and momentum.  

We will move on to the twin souls now as they manifest into existence with the next cards in a further post.

The Goat of Mendes - Banebdjet

Image - Wikipedia

So it seems there is some link to the Royal Family here.  William Wales squadron is the 60th goat squadron.  Cute Wills very cute indeed.  What does Kate think of your squadron badge I wonder.  Does she even know?  The badge has a  huge resemblance to the Goat of Mendes.

What is this Goat of Mendes?  Thank you for asking and so I shall tell you what it is then.

The entity known as the Goat of Mendes is associated with Satanism very often. Fact is, that it really has nothing to do with devil worship – its origins go back to ancient Egypt, where a goat headed deity was worshiped in the ancient city of Mendes. 

It mainly stood for sexual virility and fertility and was later associated with the upkeep of the balance between positive and negative magical forces. Thus it is really a deity of neutrality, as “good” and “evil” were seen as two sides of the same thing in ancient times.

The Church itself introduced the association with Satanism, when the Knights Templar came into contact with the cult of Banebdjet (the real name of the “Goat of Mendes”). Envying their power and riches, the Church was looking for a way to accuse them of Demon worship, and the image of Banebdjet (later transformed into "Baphomet") with his goat like appearance seemed the best way to do so.  

Sequenti die aurora apparente, altis vocibus Baphometh invocaverunt; et nos Deum nostrum in cordibus nostris deprecantes, impetum facientes in eos, de muris civitatis omnes expulimus.

Since then, hordes of Devil worshipers have swallowed this lie (which was issued by their arch enemies of the Christian Church) and introduced the Goat of Mendes into their pantheon of devils and demons. In reality, this entity is much more associated with witchcraft and Paganism – it is just one of the many incarnations of the pagan horned God.

The Devil card is also misconstrued as evil and once again this card is a card that shows endings and beginnings.  A suing up of energies.  Everything is in a state of constant evolution or change.  This signifies changes big time.  Neutrality once again.  A bringing into balance.  Note the two people and the horned devil in between them.  this is the balance they must find.
