CHAPTER ONE
A BEGINNING
This is a book for anyone, beginner to advanced, who wants to understand
and read the Tarot. It has a newly revealed layout and card interpretations
that will excite the serious student and presents an easy new system that
avoids laborious memorizing. It is deliberately intended to encourage beginners
to take up the subject of Tarot.
Everything that happens in your daily life is part of the unfolding of
your divine purpose. The more you can grasp the essence of that purpose,
the more harmonious that unfolding will be. The system of Karmic Tarot
includes ways of broadly discerning your chosen lifetime purpose. But it
is also highly useful in your day-to-day affairs. You can gather rich information
about specific issues and time factors affecting your current situation.
A Tarot reading with the Karmic Spread is not only diagnostic but prescriptive.
You are getting answers to the questions you are asking in your heart.
To be rich in meaning and valid in its insights, a reading must be both
passive and active; passive in the emotional and spiritual planes in order
to listen and receive information-and active in the physical and mental
planes in order to validate and interpret all messages.
The system of Karmic Tarot guides the reader to see the underlying principles
and patterns at work in Tarot, rather than having you memorize what numerous
others say given cards mean. It is designed t o kindle knowledge hidden
deep within you as a potential reader. If you can discover the essence
of the cards and their relationships in the deck, the meanings you need
will always be there when you need them. They will bubble up from deep
inside you with little or no effort during a reading.
The Tarot is both a rational and an intuitive system, a marvelous blend
of right-brain and left-brain thinking. It is a logical system of archetypal
symbols and structured layouts on which the intuitive right brain can play
its half of the game. So it's an excellent tool for exercising and training
the whole brain, for study of any kind in any field.
The Tarot is also an excellent and friendly introduction to metaphysics,
as it embodies so many of the underlying mysteries of the universe. Karmic
Tarot focuses on your movement through y our own universe, the evolution
of your personal consciousness.
I believe that Tarot is a gift from God to help us on this path, and to
help us create our future-rather than merely predict it. I think the Tarot
was conceived as a tool to aid us in fulfilling our divine purposes. It
is my sincerest hope that this book will give you a working knowledge of
that tool and the people for whom you read.
This book does not address the history of the Tarot per se; that has already
been well documented. Rather, it is concerned with the origins of the Tarot,
with looking at it intensely and from many viewpoints, so that you can
see its underlying principles at work.
The Tarot is a living, "written" (visually symbolical) language. Despite
the fact that the oldest deck found this far is probably Italian, dating
from the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century, Tarot may well be
the oldest of all written languages. For Tarot's symbology could well have
been born in that magical, ancient moment when man invented the first alphabets
to capture the sounds of his speech. This, in fact, was the moment symbology
itself was born-the original stuff from which archetypes have derived.
This brought the sense of sight into the ability of man to communicate,
and what is referred to in this book as the mental plane of man was born.
This is why archetypal symbology moves us in such a deep and mysterious
way. Even now it is hard to express many of these "messages" in words.
Up until now, much Tarot work has been limited to forecasting the future,
placing it side-by-side with mediums used primarily for fortune-telling,
such as palmistry, tea leaves, and the crystal ball. Other, more serious
Tarot work, such as correlations with the Hebrew alphabet, the Kabbalah,
astrology and various mythologies, have centered around only the main twenty-two
cards of the deck, the Major Arcana. Even when the emphasis of such work
has been on using the Major Arcana to discover the pathways of the evolution
of consciousness, the result has been little more than enriched meanings
for those twenty-two cards.
All Tarot card references in this work are to the classical Tarot deck,
i.e., a deck of seventy-eight cards. Such a deck consists of a twenty-two-card
Major Arcana and a fifty-six-card Minor Arcana (four suits of fourteen
cards each-ten numbered or "Pip" cards, and four "Court" or face cards).
This new spread reflects the journey that your four-fold self (physical,
emotional, mental, and spiritual) takes through the seven Stages of evolutionary
consciousness, beginning with your Karmic Contract at birth, i.e., what
you have chosen to do in this lifetime. It uses the increasing similarity
and harmony of Eastern and Western philosophies, exemplified in Eastern
terms as the seven chakras in the unfolding of the kundalini, and
in Western terms by the transpersonal psychologists as the seven Stages
of evolutionary consciousness.
A unique interpretation of inverted cards is part of the Karmic Tarot's
facility as a centering mechanism, to help you walk the middle path, a
path that is literally a journey through all the dualities that threaten
to pull you off course. Upright cards are interpreted as the central, root
message of that archetype; while inverted cards are seen to be an imbalance
of that root, involving either too much or too little of that principle.
In Karmic Tarot, you'll see for the first time how the Minor Arcana
are used along with the Major Arcana to define the path of evolving consciousness.
A structure within each of the Arcana, as well as a structural relationship
between the two, is uncovered. So a wealth of new information is revealed,
creating a new spread and expanded meaning for all the seventy-eight cards.
You will also see how each Arcanum can be used to deepen your understanding
of the meanings of the cards in the other Arcanum-much as words in a dictionary
send you back and forth but with increasingly better definitions each time.
Just as you use words to define other words in conventional language, you
can use cards to define other cards in the language of the Tarot. This
is important for growth in interpreting the Minor Arcana. The more you
can see into the mechanics behind and within the Tarot, the less you will
depend on blind memorization of cards and arbitrary layouts and the more
you will see where each card fits into the whole. Once you see the fit,
your mind automatically fills with interpretations.
The Tarot is a system that enables your intuitive Soul/Spirit self to communicate
with your objective Mind/Emotion/Body self. There is unlimited information
available to you from your intuitive level, and the Tarot is an excellent
way of reaching and working with it. Given a good deck, a good reader,
and the proper setting, the possibilities are limitless.
