Taroscopes Tour ps there is a pattern set up inthe heavens for one who desires tosee it, and having seen it, to find onein himself - PlatoWelcome to the Taroscopes Tour. The very firstthing which we would like to clarify is that boththe Tarot and the Zodiac are not externalphenomena. They are not "out there" and shouldbe considered living essences or archetypeswithin each individual. You are a living, breathingzodiac.Both Aleister Crowley and William Blake bothrecognized this fact, and declared in similarways, that every man and woman is a star. Thegreat German philologist and philosopherFredrick Nietzsche eloquently and enigmaticallypenned these words which aptly introduce andencapsulate the theme of the entire TaroscopicApproach:As long as you still experience thestars as something "above yourhead" you lack the eye ofknowledge.Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky put it thisway:.when the planets of the oduction.html (1 of 6)16/03/2005 17:26:59
Taroscopes Tour IntroductionSystem are named or symbolized.itmust not be supposed that theplanetary bodies themselves arereferred to, except as types on apurely physical plane of theseptenary nature of the psychic andspiritual worlds.A Taroscopic chart, like any divination chart, is arecord of the interaction between the consciousand unconscious dimensions of being and on agender level between the masculine andfeminine polarities.Due to modern society's aversion to right-brainexpression, the esoteric disciplines once reveredby kings are all but deleted from seriousconcern, being relegated to the level of noveltyand pseudo-science. Though there is a plethoraof "New Age" books rolling off the assemblylines, few authors or researchers concentrate onthe relationship between Tarot and its sisterdisciplines - Astrology, Numerology and Kabala.The new millennium is here and it is finally timefor the re-unification of science and metascience. The New Millennium signals newparadigms in thinking and experience. It iscertainly time for a "Tarot 2000" - for anunderstanding of Tarot, free from cliché, psychobabble and dated jargon.It is time for each person to become their ownpriest or priestess and to dispense with suchauthorities on the external level. What we havebeen receiving from the pulpits is not religion ortheology but propaganda. Theosophists uction.html (2 of 6)16/03/2005 17:26:59
Taroscopes Tour IntroductionMagicians know that we each have within us aLiving Oracle. We need to find out how it comesinto being, how it operates and how to getdirectly into contact with it, if we are going to bementally and psychologically present in the NewMillennium and be able to assuage theexistential nihilism and decadence apparenteverywhere.It is a time when the sacred arts are againpresented and taught, as one, for unless the fourHermetic Arts are themselves first considered,learned, taught and practiced as one,consciousness will not know unison. This is themessage of the first card of the Tarot, TheMagician. His esoteric letter is Beth, whichactually means - "The House of God." Thoughthis refers to the Great Pyramid at Giza, it alsorefers to the human body, one's own temple,one's own veritable house of god. As WilliamBlake reminded us, all the gods reside in thehuman breast that is - within. The Magician'stask is unite the four into one. This is the secretmessage of the architecture of the GreatPyramid, of the Magician's strange three-leggedtable and of the grand Hierophants and Druids ofEgypt, India, Ireland and the world.Esoterically, the prestige of the cards issupreme. It is immeasurably sacred andcontains many magickal secrets, evenconcerning mathematics and sacred geometry.Tarot relates to the:Egyptian, Hebrew, Celtic and EnglishMagickal Alphabets,To the Kabalistic Tree of duction.html (3 of 6)16/03/2005 17:26:59

Each person is represented in the Tarot's78 mysterious and beautiful pages.The Tarot is superior to every other divinationmethod because it primarily employs symbols.There are 240,000 miles of neural threads in thehuman brain, enough to stretch from earth to themoon. On every micro-meter of these threadsthere exist 250,000 units of information. Thisdata is, however, recorded only as pictograms,as composite images, not as words.

Taroscopes Tour Introductionbathed in that strange insubstantial mental light,it is images that you see not words or sentencesappearing before you. Christians were told that itwas prohibited to make "graven images" of theirgod. This edict came even prior to the prohibitionagainst killing. It was simply more propaganda.We also read that in the beginning was the"Word." But this is itself now proven to be untrue.In the beginning was the symbol of god. This ishow it was then and is even now. This is all thatgod can be to the brain of man. No word canencompass even the smallest part of theUniversal Intelligence. Words define thecreations and exploits of men, not of god. Inorder to know the latter, one must developsymbolic literacy. Studying the Tarot is themost apposite manner of developing suchcapacities.We, therefore, invite you to a "cleansing of thedoors of perception" regarding one of humanity'sgreatest empowerment tools - The Tarot.Twenty-two foundation letters:Engrave them, carve them, weighthem, permute them, and transformthem, and with them depict the soulof all that formed and all that will beformed in the future.they areengraved with voice, carved withbreath.they are set in a circle.theyrepeat in a circle.they formsubstance out of chaos and makenon-existence into existence - (TheSepher Yetzirah)(for more on the dynamics and operations of the cardssee Taroscopic Mystery School ntroduction.html (5 of 6)16/03/2005 17:26:59

Inner Guidance Tarot and YouListenNow*ListenNow*Tarot and YouIn ordinary life, which has become extraordinarilycomplex, we make mistakes and take wrongturnings which waste large amounts of time,energy and money and which cause greatfrustration. Look at the complexes and viceswhich arise from uncertainty and ignorance. Wemake a wrong move that causes ourselves andothers enormous hardship. From these therearises other pernicious quandaries which besetus - guilt, self-recrimination, hostility, frustrationand regret, etc,. Or because we think we areright in another area we contravene the space orboundaries of another person, who thenbecomes an enemy instead of a friend. Is thisnot the familiar pattern of life?We are prevented from reaching our own goalsand excellence when we make these kinds ofdetours. We constantly make decisions whichare so important for our lives and for ourresponsibilities toward others, making it essentialto get proper guidance.Now we already ask each other for a great dealof guidance in day-to-day affairs and weconstantly act on the feedback. So what is wrongwith going to the Source which always has theright answer? Asking someone who is, likeoneself, divorced from their source, for theanswers to personal questions is obviously notgoing to ever foster rotandyou.html (1 of 6)16/03/2005 17:27:19
Inner Guidance Tarot and YouWithin each human mind there is the capacity tohave inner dialogue. In short, we communeinwardly with ourselves daily in the privacy of thepersonal consciousness. However, this so-calleddialogue is more a chaos of mental chatter. All ofus can testify to this. But we are each meant tohave a coherent inner dialogue between theconscious and subconscious, the right and lefthemispheres of our brains. Today, philosophersand social thinkers, as well as many activistsand malcontents, have correctly stated that ourtechnological and intellectual development is farmore advanced than our emotional andpsychological natures. They lament that thereseems little to be done about it. As far as thecollective level goes they are perfectly right. AsH. M. Jones said: This is the age where we areproud of machines that think, but suspicious ofmen who try to.Even within the individual there will be noreconciliation of these states until minds becomeopen to what the Divination Arts actuate. Theyare now, and always have been, the means ofinculcating the deeper wisdom so necessary inlife.This Source within is the inner guide or "Oracle"and we get into contact with it by way of theTarot. It is known in the Magickal Tradition as"Communion of the Holy Guardian Angel." TheEgyptians knew it as the Ka, the Karast (Christ)or simply the "Double." In Alchemy this is knownas the Agathodaimon or Aquastor, also asMercury, Hermes, the Psychopompos. One ofthe main symbols of this entity is the dog. andyou.html (2 of 6)16/03/2005 17:27:19
Inner Guidance Tarot and YouFool Arcanum).This "Twin" exists within us. In fact it is the realus, the Authentic Being which never loses itsrapport with the Universal Order. We, however,lose contact with the Twin very early in life, oftenimmediately after birth. It is the Twin whichreturns at the point of death. It is this returnwhich causes us enormous regret and pain for itis this Twin that we have neglected for all theattractions of the phenomenal world. The Twinreturns in pristine condition whereas we areladen and contaminated with the conditioning ofworldly existence. The parting from the Twin isthe cause of death's real agony. This is whyChrist on the cross cries out to God (Twin-Self)not to "forsake" him. This is the cry of the lowerself to the higher and not a call to God.The Divination Arts were there long before highpriced psychologists and counselors who aregood at the patch-up but are not much involvedin the prevention aspects. Healing is one of themost misused words today. It is not a state thatone finds after recovery from illness. It is thestate in which one never gets ill in the first place.Or have we forgotten this?Human sickness is so severe that fewcan bare to look at it, but those whodo become well - Vernon HowardIf it goes on personally it must happendomestically and politically and so on. No humanis exempt regardless of their roles. The Creatoror Universal Intelligence did not plan for our livesto be that way, full of waste and sorrow. dyou.html (3 of 6)16/03/2005 17:27:19
Inner Guidance Tarot and Youmake it so and we can change it. It is a greatthing to be able to close that gap between errorand truth even a little. It reduces the chance forkarmic rectification, which is responsible for somuch suffering throughout the Earth. Karma isprimarily ignorance which causes all manner ofhuman tribulation. As Socrates said: Thegreatest evil is ignorance, the greatest goodknowledge.The Tarot aids us in the discovery that we arenot merely the roles we assume. Beyond allother information and learning which iscommonly sought there is the greater humanneed to know exactly who and what we are,intimately and authentically. Also, we needcertainty in daily life. These are simply not foundat the functional or utilitarian level of existence.The work we do for money and security is notthe place to look. The physical sciences whichexplain the material universe are also notinvolved in answering these macro questions.Lets give up waiting for science and religion toexplain the mysteries of being. You are thescientist and your body is the laboratory. TheUniverse is our great classroom. The planets,stars and luminaries are the teachers. Theuniverse is a super-computer accessed not withbinary but with the human intuition.The roles we play may not be the real us! In fact,it is because we have put so much faith in thesefalsities that multitudes of people are findingthemselves in a state of emotional, psychologicaland spiritual disempowerment. It accounts forthe delinquency and disenchantment among theyouth, who have been mis-educated from ndyou.html (4 of 6)16/03/2005 17:27:19

When we came into thisworld and began learning from our parents andteachers, we were given the impression thatthere are no operating manuals for life and thatwe each find out the rules of the game as we goalong. However, nothing could be further fromthe truth. There are operating manuals, carefullydisguised and hidden perhaps but, nevertheless,at our disposal whenever we beginunderstanding the nature and application of thehigh arts of Divination. They were created intimes past to help us navigate through thetempests of life, that we might arrive safely atour true destinations.Simply, we may think of life as a complex jigsaw. Usage of
