Witches' Wisdom TAROT.

Introduction

There are many TAROT decks, some more and some less similar to 'classic' A.E. Waite's TAROT (also known as Rider-Waite TAROT).

I have some decks in my collection, but there's one special deck that i want to describe in a more detailed way, in this article.

Witches' Wisdom TAROT.

Created by Wiccan Priestess - Phyllis Curott, and Witch Artist - Danielle Barlow, this deck can be described as a 'Healing' deck.

This deck is meant to not have 'upside down' card draws and it's symbolism is gentler and 'less patriarchal' than in A.E. Waite's TAROT. More Wicca/Witchcraft, less of 'Abrahamic Religions'.

Unlike in most of other decks, the TAROT tools (Swords, Cups, Wands, and Pentacles) in this deck's Minor Arcana are replaced with elements they represent (Air, Water, Fire, Earth).

Curott's Deck can be used both for fortunetelling, as well as for spellcasting practices.

And more than that - it can be used as a way for self-development as a Witch, as a way to gain Wisdom and to awaken the Witch within. That's the main way of how this blog's author wants to use this TAROT deck.



'One doesn't have to be a Witch to benefit from Wisdom in this Deck.
This TAROT speaks to seekers of any spirituality, age, race, or gender identity
with culturally diverse imagery and universal wisdom'.


Personal Journey.

Complete with Deck, there's the Guidebook written by Phyllis Curott where one can find information about:
- How to make the Deck personal, how to Consecrate it and fill with one's own energies,
- How to do Elemental Journey with the Minor Arcana cards,
- How to do Soul Journey with the Major Arcana cards,
- How to do Divination with this Deck, the Witches' Wisdom TAROT will prophesize, foretell, and guide,
- How to perform Guided Visualizations, to enter a card and it's story, encounter the characters, creatures, teachers and Spirits, learn the lessons, and receive the blessings they offer,
- How to perform Journeying into the cards' imagery, to experience their magick and meaning,
- How to Meditate (on the imagery of TAROT cards) to alter consciousness and encounter Spirit,
- How to do Invocation, a powerful Magickal practice to call upon a deity or Spirit, etc ... to guide one or help, or whatever one needs,
- How to do Spellcasting, give divine energy flowing through caster a shape and form,
- Cards' meanings (both Minor Arcana and Major Arcana),
- Witches' Wisdom Deck's recommended spreads (1-card, 3-card, and 'Compass Rose').

Defending Witches.

Introduction.

Recently i've read in powerful magickal group's facebook that very many of witches, army of witches, were goaded into powerful Black Magick Ritual against Donald Trump despite warnings.

Ritual backfired on, now they are weaker.

i think it's good time to help them, as they perhaps need - hopefully they can be swayed later to avoid follies of Mundane Politics & such follies as Black Magick as well.

i'll help them now that they are weakened & perhaps need.

As a side note - i slightly support Donald Trump, i stay away from Mundane Politics, i wasn't involved in that Black Magick Ritual.


Helping Witches.

i care for Witches & Witchcraft/Wicca, but Buddhism & the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn are higher on my priority list.

i've neglected the witchcraft & my esoteric allies & friends for too long.

i need to keep my promises to help in the Hells as well, not only Buddhism & Church.

i intend to buy book about Curses and use it to protect friends & allies from Modern Inquisition.

[ http://paco-knife-tarot.blogspot.com/2016/11/inkubus-sukkubus-church-of-madness.html ].

i'll be little evil, i'm sorry - but it's neccessary to turn black into white in the long run.

i'll engage myself a little into a folly of Black Magick as well for Witches, and later turn it into a White Magick & Light - compensating this 'bad foray' with beneficial deeds, seeding good Karma in our lives.

Recently, on the night i made this decision, was a Full Moon of Awakening, or from darker arts perspective - 'New Moon of the Black Arts' - time to start new wicked ways.

From Black Magick perspective the Moon is Black, so New Moon and Full Moon are 'reversed'.


Blog's author stance.

i wish to protect witches without anger, without revenge, without killing, without doing great harm.

i wish to focus on protection, avoiding disturbing thoughts & feelings.

i wish to avoid going too far into dark as i protect.

Perhaps many will misunderstand this, but i wish to protect from the Bodhisattva level - developing that way as soon as possible.

Witches, are they crystal clear?

Introduction.

i love witches - as a whole with their families & cat familiars, as well - but no more than a Buddhist woman that i fight for.

i read a little about their past, this gave me more knowledge about their low & practical, wicked & independent feminine nature.


Thoughts & Myths.

i read that witches in past were persecuted, feared & hated by many - by others loved, feared & admired.

i think they were independent women who dared to have their own opinion, who (often secretly) challenged church & rulers.

they were wise, knew how to heal or secretly poison people, how to deliver kids or stop births; their wisdom often made them rich, for people came to them when they were in needs.

their initiation meetings, Sabbats, were mostly wicked, hedonistic, erotic, narcotic, psyched, blasphemous and often crime-inducing.

i think that in rare, in most the depraved cases, these were as vile & disgusting as church portrayed them.


Blog author's approach.

i have seen witches with loving eyes for years, as crystal clear, being fascinated as well.

should i change, now that i truth about their low practices returned to me?

i'll try to remain critical & aware but still will see them with loving eyes, inspiring myself & others for a vision of very crystal clear, spiritual, fascinating & erotic women.

Loving Witches.

i think i can love witches, for many of the aspects - but no more than a True Love,

no more than a Buddhist woman i met in a Meditation Center Stupa House, we meditated together for a while.


... this might sound funny, but does this mean i've developed my Philosophical Aspect(s) ?

Philosophy is Love of Wisdom after all,


i heard in the Meditation Center that in Buddhism - woman is Wisdom, man is Bliss,

Witches are Wisdom as well, i think.

Witches' Tools of the Trade; Athamé.

A Spider Athamé.


Tools of the Trade.

Witches sometimes cast spells using only the power of their minds or their words. Charms and incantations, for instance, are spoken spells. All they require is that words be articulated - aloud or silently. However, over the centuries, certain tools have become important components of spell-casting and witchery. Many are familiar to the general public, others may be less familiar.

(...)

Not all witches use all of the tools that are closely identified with witches and witchcraft.

(...)

It must be pointed out, however that if a witch of practicioner uses any tool consistently in his or her magical work, that tool, whatever it is, is transformed into a magical tool.


Athamé.

An athamé, (pronounced a-tham-ay or ath-may) is a ritual knife. Symbols, such as runes or sigils, may be engraved or painted onto the handle. It is usually black-handled, and has a double-edged steel blade. Whether that blade is sharp or dull is irrelevant because the athamé is not intended as a cutting tool and is never used to draw blood.

  The athamé is among the standard tools of Wicca. Although the use of ritual knives, daggers, or swords is common to many magical traditions, the name and concept of the athamé is almost exclusively Wiccan or Wiccan-influenced. Among many other uses, an athamé is used to cast ritual circles and direct magical energy.

-- paraphrased from 'The Weiser Field Guide to witches...' by Judika Illes.


My Athamé.

With a black blade and handle, this athame uses the powerful symbolism of the spider, representing the arachnid’s guile, ingenuity, and predatory aspects.

5 1/2” - 2 1/2” blade.

Had insights explaining that Spider can be spelled as 'Spi-rit ther-e'.

Athamé is associated with element of Air, but some disagree.

Air Element has power over thoughts & communication, hacking & ESP included, among other ... i do not wish to reveal more for now.

It can support sensing threats in Mind as well, as with Raven' Eyes a spell.

It can support in protecting spiders, imparts abilities of guile, so it's subtle & can misdirect, confuse.

It can support in catching thoughts as a prey, ... for it's predatory.

It can support in caught thought analysis & discovery as well, it's ingenious & intelligent as well.

... for Wiccan Witches ?

... had insight telling me that Wiccan Witches would be glad to participate in Ola AH Programming Language & it's success.

i don't mind, on condition that owners agree.

(owners are, if they accept: a Buddhist woman i Love & Lama Ole Nydahl).

Tarot Cards, Witches, Seers.

- can 'wise women' tell You truth, tell future ?
- if they wish or need. depends on how You treat them as well.

- can they help or support ?
- if they wish or need. depends on how You treat them as well.

- do they have informations at least ?
- they can trade informations as well, not only with hackers.

- why buy Tarot cards, if they have them anyway ?
- perhaps it's also a sign of respect ... perhaps different procedure, different talk depending on a Deck of Tarot Cards You show or not & how ...
