TAROT and LITERATURE

Posted by on Sep 23, 2017 in Literature, Tarot | Comments Off on TAROT and LITERATURE

Autumn Equinox was yesterday as the seasonal wheel turns towards winter — the perfect time to read books! To learn more about tarot, study the classics. Seek tarot archetypes hidden in the pages. Could an aspect of THE MAGICIAN lurk in Oscar Wilde’s A Picture of Dorian Gray? Or is it THE DEVIL? THE TOWER seems like the card for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. But if you read it, you will see how it’s a classic of Romanticism more suited to THE LOVERS than THE TOWER. THE HANGED MAN is one tarot card that most people have trouble understanding. The novel Things Fall Apart...

Lift Your Spirit!

One of my tarot students had a sudden accident. She hurt her back when she tripped over her dog (a lovely lab) who always follows her around. This Fire Monkey year 2016 is the time of accidents and injuries, not lingering illness like in Snake or Rabbit years. Plus her accident occurred during the recent Mercury retrograde. She selected 3 tarot cards, one each for Body, Mind, and Spirit. Body and Mind were good cards for her, but not Spirit. (This tarot spread for health is on page 164 of Introduction To Tarot.) So her spirit was waning, she was becoming discouraged, and she asked if I have...

My feng shui friend Janet was born in 1952, the year of the Water Dragon. This year 2012 is also a Water Dragon year, which occurs every 60 yeas. To commemorate the event, Janet purchased a bamboo plant in a ceramic Dragon container. She sent me an email from Austin, Texas asking if it’s auspicious to place bamboo in her entrance. I told her it can be fortunate, and best if the Dragon faces the door. In feng shui, anything with a face should face the door. The bamboo plant was healthy, but the container was not attractive. This ceramic Dragon looked like a goofy cartoon character, not...

FENG SHUI in CHILDHOOD

Posted by on Apr 16, 2012 in Literature | 0 comments

While reading the memoir by British aristocrat Ivana Lowell “Why Not Say What Happened” I noticed many circumstances of bad feng shui in her life. Even though she was very wealthy and lived in stately manors, here is a description of an early childhood home in Mayfair, England: “My mother’s idea of decorating was to place as many rickety antiques as could fit into a room onto a comparable number of worn antique rugs. The place was always untidy and unruly. If a television set in our living room broke, the replacement would simply be put on top. I have a photo of me as...
