Definitely an ace, or court card of wands. The colors, the staff, and the look of confidence and determination remind me of the suit of fire.

16.10.23 (monday)

reading for myself for once? with my own guide for help? lol it's been a while but it's quite therapeutic to sort my thoughts with the help of my cards instead of helping someone else sort through theirs.

deck used: Modern Witch Tarot by Lisa Sterle

The Ace of swords - overanalyzing tarot pt 1

the the suit of swords in tarot entails the exploration of the mind; the different ways we engage with ideas, concepts, principals and the different ways we go about communicating thoughts to other people. naturally we should begin with the ace of swords.

One of my fav books on tarot which actually happens to be a guidebook to its corresponding tarot deck, Tarot Apokalypsis, written by Erik C. Dunne and Kim Huggens, had this to say about the ace of swords:

‘‘What must come before word, what must come before thought? What must become before memory? what cannot be seen, yet must come before seeing? I am speech, but i am silent I am spoken of yet I am ineffable. I am the most basic principal necessary for the step from nothing, to choas to something.’‘

The ace of swords is the abstract coming in the form of a thought, its takes the messy, fragmented parts of an idea and gives it the structure to be formed into an idea. Results from a 2020 study showed that people may have 6,000 thoughts per day, yet not all of those thoughts are given meaning. Not all of them get the chance to develop into something, but the ones that do form the basis of a belief.

The ace of swords represents the thoughts we give power to over others. the crown the ace of swords is often paired with throughout different decks is supposed to signify victory, but in this context it represents the status we give thoughts as opposed to the 6,000 other thoughts that pass through our mind a day.

Divinatory meaning- upright and reversed

reflect on the thoughts you give power to every day. what ideas and thoughts do you give meaning, and how does the meaning you attach to these thoughts impact you. how do your fleeting thoughts form the basis of a belief? this card appears when you’re starting to understand something for the first time, when you’re building the foundational knowledge to understand a larger concept or idea.

in reversed, it gives me the impression of failing to understand the thoughts that pass you by or lacking the foundational knowledge of a concept or skill. it denotes that you’re needing to get back to basics of something and ensuring understanding of it before continuing.

The ace of swords as a unifying principal

tarot of apokalpysis attaches the ace of swords to the idea of cosmology and how we individually understand how the world came to be. it says;

‘’this assumption of cosmic order is necessary for further assumptions to be made, and its upon this foundation that we build everything else. This refers not only to religion or myth, science to too must build its own cosmology, (or more appropriately, a paradigm) within which is may refer to the laws it has set and decide upon the questions it wants to answer ’’

The ace of swords being connected to this idea of a cosmology or paradigm gives it a more sophisticated interpretation, allowing us to understand the cards that follow the ace of swords. For example, if the ace of swords is a paradigm that sets the basis for understanding a larger topic, then the two of swords is differentiating between ideas and comparing different paradigms to one another. allowing them to compete for accuracy.

The big bang theory is an example of a paradigm, it allows us to understand how the world came to be. The creation story told in genesis, the norse myth and saga of creation, these are all ways in which people form their basis of understanding of the world and our purpose in it.

The ace of swords could be the assumptions we have that allow other assumptions to be made on top of that, forming a foundation for an opinion or paradigm. It’s the pre-requisite understanding of a concept, for example, to understand algebra you would have to understand multiplication, division, adding etc. To understand chemistry you have to understand an atom, its qualities and the various forms matter takes.

Ace of swords paired with other cards

The ace of swords is a hypothesis in early stages, not yet tested or verified. if the ace of swords becomes paired with the ten of swords, its a hypothesis thats been prematurely dismissed or falsified before it had the chance to grow.

if paired with the 7 of swords, its a person selectively taking what they feel is true about an idea or paradigm, and leaving what contradicts their ideas, instead of adopting and integrating the whole idea to fit the truth. for example, Christians using the bible only when it fits their worldview, not when it contradicts it.

when paired with the tower, its an idea that disrupts an existing structure or assumption. Think Kepler revolutionizing how we understand the planets orbit around the sun, developing the three laws of planetary motion.

Astrology of the ace of swords

the ace of swords refers to gemini, libra and aquarius. All three signs interact with the development and communication of ideas in interesting ways. All three signs are constantly thinking, analyzing, comparing ideas, and creating new ones. Aquarius is innovative and wants to disrupt models of how we think, gemini allows space for several ideas to exist at once, and libra wants to be able to choose between ideas without hurting anyones feelings.

Starting my time off with my first bit of tarot study! This week I've been thinking Queen of Cups and what this card means to me, with some help from my Alleyman's Tarot.

This journal companion to Yoshi Yoshitani's Tarot of the Divine is just lovely. I was a bit scared to start writing in it at first but pretty happy with how this very simple page turned out ☺️

I'm going to start a "tarot card of the day from mother witch" series, for which each day I will draw a random tarot card and do an in depth analysis, as well as share what it means to me personally, and document it on my blog.

This way, not only will I be motivated to keep up with a consistent daily practice routine, but also I will actually get around to using all these new decks of tarot cards that I've been collecting.

Ace of Swords

Today's entry for @a-witch-named-crow's tarot study challenge!

Suit

Swords represent our mind and how we think. Their positive sides include analytical thinking, intellect, and mental resilience; negative sides include guilt and toxic thought patterns. Their corresponding element is air, season is fall, and time is weeks. Some crystals are tiger's eye, amethyst, turquoise, and lapis lazuli. (source, and Benebell Wen’s Holistic Tarot)

Upright

According to Tina Gong’s book Tarot, the upright Ace of Swords represents ideas, breakthrough, efficiency, and new perspective. An epiphany or Eureka moment, I suppose. Go forward with determination and logic, and you will find success. Clarify your goals, break them down into manageable chunks, and do what you need to do.

Reversed

When the Ace of Swords is reversed, it represents such things as confusion, hostility, and obstacles. There may be uncertainty, misunderstandings, or pointless quarrels. Make things right, be fair, and look at situations logically. Be clear about and learn what you need to, or try again from a new angle. (also from Gong)

Summer was a blur, and fall has come and gone in the blink of an eye. My endeavors have kept me so busy, I've barely noticed the changes. One of my projects was making my Etsy shop come to life. There are only a few services available there, but I will add more as time and business permits. Please drop by a leave a small offering for a witch looking to get away from her mundane "day job".

ANGER/RAGE cards

Ok so, yesterday i was in an raw rage feeling during the almost all day because of something that happened at my work. Strangely, the new Riot's song and clip help me going through the day, while being cold to my coworkers and being on a point of tears breakup. Anyway, i decided to not go to work today, and try to process my emotions, and so, especially the anger/rage one.

I made a tarot pull for it. Journaled (isn't that a word already ?) a little, and think about the cards I could associate with this concept, and so far that will be:

Reversed Strenght

the Tower

(Knight of Wands ?)

Knight of Swords ?

My point is, i absolutely don't know what to do with that's information, but i was feeling doing it so.

Enjoy ?

i Guess ?

#tarot #tarot cards #tarot study #rawing anger and rage #just like that inside me #needed to process #i really don't wanna go work tomorrow #raw emotions #just literally wanted to despise them and spit on them #but only tears came like always i can't express my anger vocally #anyway

Mugwort is such a staple in my practice, subconsciously even. One of my favourite incense is Mugwort. My grandma used to tell me that Mugwort tea is great for tummy troubles, so I've been keeping that around ever since. It's growing everywhere in the backyard. What a great herb altogether. I love learning about its dreaming-related properties.

Deck: Herbcrafter's Tarot

Tarot Cards as Writing Prompts

This is an idea I’ve been playing with for awhile, and maybe some of you are already doing it. The examples I’m using are from the standard Rider-Waite deck, but I’ve also been looking at favorite images from other decks, like the Robin Wood Tarot or the Dark Wood Tarot. If you don’t pay attention to the meanings, the images are fascinating for other reasons – with a little imagination, they can be used as writing prompts.

As an example, look at the Five of Cups: a cloaked man stares down at three overturned goblets on the road. Two more goblets stand behind him. Is he sad, or angry? Do those cups belong to him, or someone else? Did he spill the three overturned ones, or did someone else? Did the cups contain something dangerous or magical?

Look at the Six of Swords. The swords stand upright in a boat, which is being pushed by a man with a pole. A cloaked figure and a child sit in the boat. Where are they going? Are the figures a mother and child, or just two random passengers? Are they traveling somewhere, or escaping from somewhere? Do the swords belong to them?

As a last example, look at #16, The Tower. What is this structure? Is it part of a castle, a prison, or something else? Is the lightning strike part of a storm, or is it a magical attack? Who are the falling people – were they imprisoned in the tower, or did they live there?

If you’re dealing with writer’s block, or a lack of ideas, you can try this with other cards. Put aside the standard divinatory meaning of the card, and just study the image; does it suggest a story, or several stories? You could try keeping a journal with notes about what story ideas the cards give you. Try it with the same card from different decks for more inspiration. Have fun with it!
