The Devil is known as the "father of lies," and we are treated to such lies every day from the seats of power and media empires aligned with them. The Prophets recognized the way powerful pervert the truth and called it out forcefully. We need such prophets to rain curses down on them today.

The 5 of Wands can be either be about conflict or collaboration. Competition or cooperation. And sometimes, choreography! What do you see in this card?

This teaching from the Talmud is often studied during the week when we read about the story of the plague of darkness in Exodus. And it reminded me both of The Moon card and the situation we find ourselves in today. Continued in the comments...

I pray that my heart doesn't harden, but that my resolve to resist does. And may the hardened hearts of our leaders break open to the heartbreak they create.

For those of us in the "reality-based community" these words from the Pirke Avot are the wisdom we need today, and really, every day.

This card is often read as acting without full attention — leaping before looking. The Buddhist in me wants to rewrite this accompanying quote to read: “Live with full attention. Act without hesitation. Dwell not on outcome or reward.” That’s the best version of this card in my view.

This most recent notebook where I record my reading notes was filled up today.
Tomorrow I'll start a new one. I refer to my notes (and videos) when I see an old clients , to see how the cards change—what cards repeat, what cycles shift....

The exoteric and esoteric. Outer and inner. The transcendent and the Divine within. Each alone is incomplete. The work of Kabbalistic tarot is to experience the unity that holds duality. To open to both Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine and so go beyond the binary to Messianic Consciousness.

This Tree of Life diagram shows the letters associated with the channels, based on the Sefer Yetzirah’s division into 3 mother letters, 7 double letters and 12 simple letters. This is different than what Western Occultists teach, but it can turbocharge your tarot work. It’s what I teach.

This is equally true for the shadow, often seen as the enemy within, but truly the shadow also includes some of our best talents & qualities that have been exiled as unacceptable. Transforming our relationship to our "inner enemies" enables us to consciously use these energies for our highest good.

I never had an electric hanukkiah. But this year I got one because I felt it was important to put in the window, though I live in the back of my building. Which leads me to an old Henny Youngman joke:

WOMAN: Did you see what's going on in Poland?
NEIGHBOR: I don't see anything, I live in the back.

In Kabbalistic tarot, the cards numbered 10 are the end of a cycle, and the 10 of Swords means you've come to the end of a bad cycle.

The secret teaching of the suit of Pentacles is that the spiritual is not separate from the material.
