The Four of Wands

March 15, 2013 By dreamtarot Leave a Comment

The Four of Wands – Completion

Referred to as “Completion” by Aleister Crowley, the Four of Wands represents the benevolent influences of Venus and Jupiter upon the Third Decan of Aries. In layman’s terms, it represents warmth, stability, and energetic serenity. Sometimes viewed as the “ideal home” in other decks, it can denote a “place” (physical or mental) of personal power, untainted by doubt or regret, charged with vibrant energy.

The Devil

The Devil – Card XV – The Dream Logic Tarot

One must inhale before exhaling. The Devil represents this inhalation in a broad sense, denoting the accumulation of energy before action. Some tarot decks will interpret the card as representing bondage or servitude, but it should be known that the bondage in question is self-imposed and easily escaped. Constraints such as discipline or organization can be exceptionally beneficial when properly applied. Thus, the Devil represents the necessary winter rains preceding a glorious spring bloom.

The Ten of Swords

The Ten of Blades – Ruin

The gruesome imagery found in the Ten of Swords denotes its inherently negative characteristics. It represents the “perfect storm” of unhappy occurrences coupled with an inability to properly react to the inertia of the universe. Plans fall through, ideas are ridiculed, and projects disintegrate before one’s eyes. To struggle further is to strangle oneself. An entirely new approach is necessary to achieve success in a specific endeavor.

The Five of Swords

The Five of Swords - Defeat
The Five of Swords – Defeat

This card has been named “Defeat” by various authors on tarot, and though the title is not inappropriate, per se, the card more effectively implies submission and withdrawal from an overwhelming and possibly dangerous situation.

A peace-loving mediator attempts to counsel two people enraged beyond reason. No matter how logically sound, their gentle words of wisdom fall upon closed ears. Knives are drawn instead.

A local mom-and-pop business advertises and offers competitive prices, but is somehow unable to cultivate a regular clientele. Barely making their rent payments each month, they pull out and search for a better location.

Ultimately, the five of swords symbolizes the failure to apply sufficient strength to succeed against the odds. A protracted struggle would prove utterly disastrous. The only logical choice is to retreat and reevaluate one’s strategy.

The Tower

March 15, 2013 By dreamtarot Leave a Comment

The Tower

The Tower is a tarot card of the Major Arcana that corresponds to the Hebrew letter Peh, meaning ‘mouth’, and is associated with the planet Mars.

Arguably the most foreboding of the cards, The Tower represents the essence of Mars in its astrological role of the Lesser Malefic at its most vile and destructive. A massive structure looms menacingly. A lightning bolt strikes its top floor, and fires rage inside. To escape the inferno, shadowy figures hurl themselves from the windows. The visage of a demonic mouth materializes and opens maniacally.

In divination, The Tower signifies a violent paroxysm — a swift, sudden, and unfortunate event (or series of events) that shatters the hopes of the querent. Businesses crumble, ideals disintegrate, and relationships erupt in chaos when The Tower rears its head. The card does not signify the proverbial end of the world, per se, but those on the receiving end of wrath will have a difficult time sifting through the post-cataclysmic pieces.
