[7/6~7/12] Card for the week: The High Priestess.

The most outstanding thing you can experience this week would be embarrassment or conflict. What you actually do/ reality of your situation may be very different from what you see/ hear. Focus on what you're doing rn to find a breakthrough.

In the animation <KPOP Demon Hunters>, Rumi(photo 1, center) uses the 'Sword of Fourfold Tiger', traditional Korean ceremonial/exorcism sword(photo 2).

[6/22~6/28] Card for the week: The Tower rx.

The tension seeps out from this card comes mainly from people around you or news and/or info you get. And it may conjure atmosphere that make you feel something is off.
But don't worry. Self-confidence is the key. One baby step a time.

When I happen to say the name ‘Frieda Harris’ people usually ask me ‘why do you not add Lady prefix’.
Then I say ‘why do people not add the suffix FRSA to Pamela Colman Smith’?

[6/8~6/14] Card for the week: 9 of Wands rx.

I don't think this week's card gives the image of being overrun due to your actions. Rather your surroundings, hard to overcome, made this. So this is not giving up your boundaries, but being wise, flexible. Strategic flexibility.

[6/1~6/7] Card for the week: 6 of Wands rx.

Focus on what each of you are doing right now, rather than distracted by outside winds. Then you can avoid the path to dishonor.

[5/18~5/24] Card for the week: Ace of Pentacles rx.

Nobody wants to be easily swayed & put their heads in the clouds. The problem is it happens more frequently than you think.

Now the truth is, that Heaven doesn't pick sides. So I just don't believe Heaven pick sides. We pick sides. We do."
- Caroline Myss

"I also received a letter that from somebody that said they've given up on prayer that God has abandoned the United States because of the outcome of the election. Now, for some people, the election was exactly what they prayed for. Exactly the outcome. ...

[5/4~5/10] Card for the week: Ace of Swords rx.

The most direct image of this week's card is 'setbacks'. But it's more of and idea that stumbles on bumps than a big failure of your life.
Don't forget you've got plenty of resources for trying again and again. That's the point.

Arthur Edward Waite was (almost) the first occultist who viewed things like K(Q)abbalah, Alchemy, etc. as a tool of awakening of himself, rather than sets of ultimate truth themselves.

[4/27~5/3] Card for the week: Wheel of Fortune rx.

Keeping your current rules would be better than trying something new. Because your current routine, the ground you're standing on now, can give you the flexibility to respond to unexpected changes from outside.

'The duty of the rich man is to spread wealth; wealth which does not circulate is dead; do not hoard death.'
- from <The Key to the Mysteries> by Eliphas Levi

[4/20~4/26] Card for the week: Justice.

Usually people act like pendulums swinging between the extremes. This week's card is about seeing the pendulum and being careful not to let it swing too far in either direction and get it blown away.
Yes. This is about balance, rather than 'justice'.

[4/13~4/19] Card for the week: Strength rx.

Powerlessness. Why? Simple. Because you're chasing bluebirds without taking care of the things that you need to do in the real world, that you need to do in your day-to-day life. Asking 'What's the point' & keep grumbling just makes it worse.

Some people may dislike this but street protests are of no use to change situations around government.

[4/6~4/12] Card for the week: 8 of Swords.

Anyway, you made the decision. And there are no external factors or influences that could have had a meaningful impact on your actions. So you're the only responsible one for choosing a place where you can't see anything.

[3/23~3/29] Card for the week: 6 of Pentacles.

People usually despise routines just because they feels like a rolling machinery. But sometimes routines can be the best way to get through difficult times.
When you're depleted of kind of energy, don't have to try to squeeze yourself.

[3/16~3/22] Card for the week: 3 of Wands.

When it's time, you have to move & do the things that need to be done. Because that's the only way to secure a foothold to overcome difficulties you're facing right now.
If you have a chance, try to share your positive energy somehow.

Card for the week: 5 of Wands reversed.

Two ideas: 1) avoiding unnecessary fights 2) complacency. Neither is desirable or the one & only answer. They are one of your choices, depending on your own situations. You can even change the course between them based on your needs.

It can happen any time between now and a couple of weeks.
The star will be brighter than the North Star and the Vega."

In the occult field, especially about Tarot, ‘ancient’ doesn't mean ‘authentic’.

In tarot, work of Manly P. Hall is meaningful in just 'He did that'. Historically. Nothing else.

Today is 147th birthday of Corrine Mary Pamela Colman Smith FRSA.

[2/16~2/22] Card for the week: The Hanged Man.

The water looks like to flow in just one direction as one mass, but the forces underneath the surface can change at any given moment in many ways. The key is to find out those changes in time and move yourselves accordingly.

[2/9~2/15] Card for the week: 4 of Cups.

Trying to do too much in too little time easily leads to mental and physical exhaustion, and when you're get tired it's very hard to know what brings you peace of mind & what makes you be harmonized.

Still so many things about that company are shady. No real products yet, just showcase & almost billion ‘funded’, not ‘sales’.
