Want to do a post soon about the use of the pentagram in Christianity even outside of occult thought.

Bonus—prayer to the Virgin Mary on the pg: “Make us feel you are a Mother by making our prayers accepted by the one who deigned to be your Son to redeem us.”

Sometimes I want to get back into reading tarot with majors only as is traditional in our French Canadian culture but then I feel guilty the other minor cards will get sad at not being used? Very weird to get sad for inanimate objects.

Watched a very cool documentary about a teen boy seeking to be a shaman in Mongolia.

Why didn’t I think to ask for these for Christmas?

Love the main sigil from Grimoire of Pope Honorius which uses a verse of Scripture rather than Names of God in the circle to contain demons: “Obeissez a vos superieurs et leur soyez soumis parce qu’ils y prennent garde” : “Obey your superiors and to them be submissive because they care for it.”Heb13

I don’t remember what this tarot reading was about, but I found the picture in my camera roll. Love the Vieville Tarot.

I found this illustration from Grimoire of Pope Honorius rather funny showing the magician with wand (“The operator in his circle”) grinning ear to ear while summoning a demon and saying(?)/labeled “ready to appear.”

A talisman for coercing Aziel which cites Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia) from appendix to 6th & 7th Books of Moses. According to the preface, this and the other spiritual processing schematics should not be removed from Vatican City under penalty of excommunication.

We use this same spiritual science/tech in Catholicism when we engage the St Benedict medal or green scapular and other medals and scapulars for example.

This aligns really closely with my thoughts around utilization of tarot cards as talismans, an idea suggested by Yoav Ben Dov, to control or attract energies unseen in life or a certain physical space.

Anyone read or reading The Tao of Craft by Wen? She offers some interesting ideas about how talismanic magic can and should be open to anyone who makes a concentrated effort to produce a piece of magical technology with Taoist methods based on theory of action.

Historical tarot card decks to show how their design and use has changed throughout time.

Wonder if we can get a post going with tarot readers commenting so people can find us. Comment below.

I myself have 10 years’ experience and read on pretty much any topic (a few no-go topics).

Checking in here once more in the depth of summer. I’ll share my recent tattoos and bonus shots from Taos.

I don’t think I’m smart enough to understand this but look at this cool vintage copy of The Symposium I found for $1 used.
