The Hierophant – Major Arcana

Meanings in a Tarot Reading…

Upright Position

The Upright position of The Hierophant suggests that you are thinking about joining a group, religious or any other type.

That would mean that you should conform to their rules, adapt to the system and fit in.

Doing what is expected and devoting energy to the group is the next thing to do.

The appearance of this card in a reading might indicate that you are giving your power away to someone or even to a group of people.

You might not be taking responsibility for your life and beliefs so you surrender your free will to others.

The Hierophant might also represent a role model in your life, someone you look up to.

Learn what you need from this person and then create your own beliefs and opinions.

This card represents initiation so you can expect some kind of change to occur in your life.

It can represent baptism, marriage, a funeral, entering a college or graduation. You can also expect some kind of spiritual initiation.

When it appears in a spread, The Hierophant might suggest you are following a new belief system.

The loss of some individuality in your life will be balanced by the great sensation of being a part of something bigger than yourself.

Reversed

When The Hierophant comes in a reversed position, it talks of rebellion and breaking the rules. You might be feeling oppressed by the old rules so now it’s the time to be free and take your own decisions.

This card appears in reversed position at key points – you might want to leave school or quit your job.

Traditional ways do not appeal to you anymore and you want to do things your way.

If you belong to a group, The Hierophant might indicate that you are feeling forced to conform to the rules of the group but you do not actually agree with them.

The appearance of this card might suggest a scandal caused by immoral behavior. This may lead of your expulsion from a group – your family, the church, or friends

Hagall

Sound: “h”
Stands for: Hail
Casting meaning: Just like hail will eventually transform into water we need to see that situations in our lives will do just the same. They will make a transformation from something restricting to something that flows more readily for us. This is what Hagall represents, a transformation of a situation into something more simple.

Nuin

Communication, transit, distribution, messaging, swiftness, sense of humor

Tree: Ash (Fraxinus spp.)

Letter: N

Social intelligence is a highly underrated skill. The thousands of factors that go into communicating effectively with others (human or otherwise) takes a level of intelligence that is too subtle and complex to be measured… social intelligence is an art. Nuin is a Few that speaks to speed and dexterity in communication, usually in putting a message out there to the community. Nuin means you are linked in to a community and are open to both receiving and transmitting messages. If you are working on your communication skills and reaching people (which we should all be doing) then Nuin indicates it is working.

Nuin has ties to the Norse god Odin (Germanic Wotan) who has ties to the Roman god Mercury. Mercury is the messenger, god of commercial enterprises, communication, and thieves. You can see why ancient Mercury might have a liking for the modern internet. Odin purposefully blinded himself in one eye as a price for accessing Knowledge. This myth is not meant to be taken literally, of course. Some deep thought would suggest that Odin forced himself to brutally limit himself to half the information (becoming Odin One-Eye) in order to gain all the knowledge. The lesson in the Odin myth is that great knowledge comes at a price: you have to ruthlessly limit the noise to receive the signal.

Ill-dignified excess: Too much information
Too much information equals distraction. Allowing too much news, internet chatter, television, movies, gossip, and random information into your mind is often a recipe for overload and misery. Limit your diet of electronic babble and make sure to temper exposure to our toxic modern culture with time spent with growing things, rivers, forests, and meadows. Instagram, social media, television, advertising, and petty politics cast a form of black magic upon the beholder, hypnotizing us into feelings of inadequacy so we will buy more products. Nuin ill-dignified in excess could also indicate you are watering down your message by giving too much away about yourself. Don’t write a novel or orate a speech when a well-considered paragraph or epithet will do.

Ill-dignified dearth: Failure or unwillingness to communicate
Presuming people know your mind is problematic, but presuming they both know your mind and agree with you is ten times worse. Has anyone ever tried to reach you via any method possible, including spam advertisements, cold calls, or stalking? Don’t be that spammer/caller/stalker guy. This could also indicate you or someone else is not using resources at hand to communicate or is not putting the care into communication that it deserves. Don’t be the boob who can’t be bothered with the formalities of hello, goodbye, please, thank you, unabbreviated words, and spell check. Whether not being able to communicate with others is born out of misanthropy or earnest bumbling, the result is the same: you still send a clear message about your shortcomings. Nuin is suggesting you or someone affecting your life should learn the challenging skill of how to communicate with others.

Seven

The 7 is the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of truth.

The Numerology Meaning of the Number 7: THE PHILOSOPHER

The 7 doesn’t take anything at face value, and always strives to understand the hidden truth. The 7 knows nothing is exactly as it seems and reality is often hidden behind illusion.

A person who has a chart dominated by the 7 is easily picked out in a group.

They will be somewhat introverted, perhaps shy (not to be confused with low self-esteem), and never entirely comfortable in social settings.

The 7 is an intellectual, but their intellect isn’t always obvious, especially at an early age. (As a child, Einstein had dyslexia and wasn’t a particularly bright student.)

The 7’s intelligence appears in the form of a dreamer. They are intellectual explorers of the obscure and tend to have an off-beat perspective of the world around them. Many 7s are interested in the metaphysical, not because they are believers, but because it allows access to the abstract world of questions that have no clear answers.

The number 7 is spiritual but not religious.

The age-old questions surrounding what life is all about- why we are here, who we are, and so forth – are essential to the 7’s life-experience. They don’t stop looking for the answers they seek until they die.

The number 7 can be aloof, hates gossip, and is immune to small-minded backstabbing. Money means little to the 7, and they will rarely make a decision based on an expected financial outcome.

There is a dry, usually misunderstood sense of humor to the 7, yet it is unable to recall jokes easily. A 7 individual is rarely cheerful and never superficial.

7 has excellent taste, along with a natural love and understanding of art.

They dislike or entirely ignore fashion, and popular beautiful-but-shallow people bore a 7 to no end. Rather, 7s are attracted to the eccentric. They are not always interested in politics but have a strong sense of justice.

A 7 doesn’t typically care about professional sports or other team activities. They are not warriors, but you may find some people who have the 7 dominating their charts in the military, most likely as analysts or strategic planners. More often, you will find them in the world of academics and science. Police detectives, laboratory researchers, and other careers where logic and methodical analysis are the main requirements fit 7s well.

On the negative side, the 7 can be cynical, verbally abusive, arrogant, and oblivious to the pain and suffering of others.

The 7 is opinionated and tends to know a bit about everything, which can be annoying to others. They are not always honest, often choosing a more “interesting” truth than the actual truth.

Many people are uncomfortable around 7s due to their penetrating eyes – creating the sense that, even when they seem to be listening, they’re actually analyzing the shape of your face and the crevices of your earlobes.

They can be cold-hearted, cruel, and show a lack of empathy. Other peoples’ problems simply don’t interest them, but when it comes to their troubles, they expect everyone to feel for them. They can be selfish, anti-social, demanding patients, exasperating know-it-alls, and just plain rude.

The essence of the number 7 symbolizes our struggle to know and understand.

What’s unique about the 7 is that their mind is their greatest tool as well as their most significant limitation. Logical, flexible, and hungry for knowledge, the 7’s mind goes places other numbers rarely approach. Their imagination is vast and powerful, which guides them into spiritual stratospheres others will never know. The 7 digs deep, but is always intellectual and rational.

The satisfaction they derive from mental exploration allows a 7 to enjoy many hours in solitude. At the same time, they put too much faith in the power of the mind; this can limit their ability to experience the essence of life, which can be known only through experience, not through thought or words.

The Tao Te Ching mentions, “Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.” Similarly, life in its purest form can only be felt and experienced, never defined. For 7s to reach a height of spiritual wisdom, they must travel beyond their mind’s limitations and allow the inner silence to spill its secrets.

Two Hundred Twenty – Two

The number 222 has the influence of the number 2 tripled. This number has a very powerful vibration. It is a combination of attributes of the number 2 and the Master Builder Number 22, which is the number of vision, idealism, transformation and ancient wisdom.

This number also symbolizes the ability to manifest almost impossible things into reality.

The number 2 symbolizes trust, faith, serving others, encouragement, adaptability, team work, compromise, diplomacy, cooperation, duty, harmony, balance, partnerships, relationships and selflessness.

The number 2 also symbolizes our Divine soul’s purpose and mission in this life.

As a blend of these energies and influences, the number 222 signifies balance, harmony, relationships, serving your soul’s purpose, inner wisdom, transformation and visions. It signifies new fortunate opportunities coming your way soon.

It also symbolizes the manifestation of some big dreams and goals you have into reality.

Meaning and Symbolism

The angel number 222 is an encouragement from your guardian angels to establish harmony and balance in all areas of your life.

You need to remain faithful about the path you are following in this life.

The angels are informing you that things will soon improve and that such situation will last for a long time.

They are asking you not to waste your energy on negativity. They want you to be aware of the damage you can do to yourself and to your life if you have negative thoughts, beliefs and expectations.

This angel number is a reminder to keep following the path of your soul’s mission and purpose.

The angels are congratulating you on the good work you have done so far. The angels are asking you to remain patient because the fruits of your efforts and positive attitude will soon begin to manifest into reality.

The angel number 222 is asking you to have faith that everything is working out in your favor. The angels are reminding you that all things happen for a reason.

They are also reminding to keep your attitude and expectations positive, so you could expect only your desired outcomes to manifest into your reality. They are reminding you that everything happens in Divine timing.

This angel number is a number sequence which commonly appears to people who are in the process of spiritual awakening and realization of the angelic presence and guidance in their lives.

You should be very happy if it starts appearing in your life, because it is a very powerful number, signifying the manifestation of your biggest desires and goals into reality.

When you keep seeing the angel number 222 everywhere that is a message from your guardian angels confirming that you are on the right path in life.

They are asking you to maintain your positive outlook on your future.

Focus on the outcome you want to manifest into your life. Don’t let fears and worries overwhelm you.

They are your worse enemies. Fears and worrying only attract the things we fear or worry about in our lives. The angels are reminding you to call on them when that happens to help you release all your fears and worries from your life.

Remember to express your gratitude and appreciation to the Universe and your guardian angels for helping you stay on the right path in life.

Be grateful for all the blessings you have in life.

Also remember to express your appreciation to all the people who have helped you and are still helping you accomplish your desires and goals. The Universe will reward you for being sincerely grateful and appreciative.

Spell For Tomorrow – Lucky Seven Candle Dressing

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Lucky Seven Candle Dressing

The number seven is lucky because so many good things come in sevens: the chakras or energy centers in the body, and the continents of the world. The number seven ranks among the most favored numbers by gamblers and lottery players. This candle dressing contains seven herbs, each representing something powerful and positive. Dress a candle of any color and burn it to attract luck in all areas of life.

For anointing, use 1 drop mint oil, 1 drop chamomile oil, and 1 drop sandalwood oil. Mix together 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried patchouli leaves for grounding, 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender flowers for attraction, 1/2 teaspoon dried dandelion petals for confidence, 1/2 teaspoon dragon’s blood resin powder for love, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary for truth, 1/2 teaspoon of sage for wisdom, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed myrrh gum for spirituality.

Try using this mixture on rainbow candle of seven colors for extra luck. Burn it just before an important event or celebration to make sure the experience is positive.

Tarot Card

The Lovers

Keywords: choice, decision, love, communication, inspiration (ideas from above)!

Astrological Correspondence: Gemini

The Lovers card is representative not only of crucial life choices, but also of lovers, couples, and other partnerships, like business partners, siblings, and friends. The angel between a woman and a man, depicted on this card, symbolizes the struggle of deciding to follow one’s heart versus one’s temptation or obligation. The Lovers card symbolizes the choices that must be made to progress toward higher self-awareness; choices also reflect emotional values, indecisiveness, hesitation, and our fears about making wrong choices. This applies not only to love relationships – it is applicable to any relationship in which people are drawn together, even a casual one. It’s the card of uncertainty!

(One Person’s View) Casting The Runes c. 2018

Casting The Runes

Each individual will eventually devise his or her own way of casting the runes. What follows are some
suggestions, all following a similar path, but they are by no means fixed rules.

 

It is important to remember that your runes are your own, and are special. You have created a link
with them and that is important. Never lend your runes, unless you feel comfortable doing this. I
personally would never lend runes, Tarot cards or crystals to anyone else. If you are unsure, maybe
you should try drawing a rune from your pouch and seeing what you get as an answer. It is suggested
that an upright rune gives a Yes answer, and an inverted one a No answer. However, those runes
which look the same either way may prove a problem!

 

A traditional way of casting the runes is to mix them in a pouch and cast them on a cloth, usually
velvet. I keep my runes in such a pouch and use them in this way. It usually happens that the runes I
am intended to use find their way into my hand or between my fingers as I mix them in the pouch. I
usually draw nine runes.

 

Others have suggested drawing three runes at a time, three times, with a break in between each set of
three.

 

Old Nordic tales suggest that throwing runes at a person was a means of casting a magical spell.
Likewise spells are said to have been cast by writing certain runic inscriptions on a piece of paper and
passing it to the unsuspecting intended victim.

 

All these things may belong in folklore, and have no bearing on the modern usage for runes; it is up to
the individual to decide. One runemaster I know draws three runes which represent current
circumstances. Having looked at these three runes, he returns them to the pouch and draws three
more. The second set of three represents courses of action or possible outcomes. The second set is
then also returned to the pouch and a final single rune drawn, which indicates influences likely to have
a bearing on the problem as a whole.

 

Tradition suggests that Odin’s number was 5. For this reason, some runemasters work with only five
runes. Those interested in numerology will note that the runes total 25 if you include the blank rune.
This all adds up to 7, which is a powerful and spiritual number, and for this reason, perhaps, some
runemasters draw seven runes when casting.

 

Another means of casting the runes is to ‘shuffle them’ and leave them to their own devices for a while
(15 minutes is usually suggested), and then draw 12, laying them on a runic chart especially
prepared for the purpose.

(One Person’s View) Ways Of Casting The Runes c. 2018

Ways Of Casting The Runes

 

There are probably hundreds of different ways to lay the runes for a casting. What is given here is
only a selection. It is by no means exhaustive.

I would suggest that you try some of these, going for the ones with which you feel comfortable before
trying your own ideas out. The reasons for this are many, not least of which it is important to
familiarise yourself with the runes and how they are read as a group before progressing.

It should also be remembered that you may have some personal thoughts on the meanings of the runes
at the time you are carrying out the casting, which you should not dismiss out of hand. The meanings
given here are basic, and again by no means exhaustive. You may for example wish to use all
the reverse meanings given, even though some runes look the same either way up. Experience is the
best teacher, and you must always do what you feel comfortable doing. Don’t go along with something
just because others do – make up your own mind.

Another means of casting the runes consists of five runes, called Odin’s casting. Again these are laid
down from right to left, with the third rune slightly raised from the remainder. I read these as being
two pages within a book with the third rune being that which is either holding the pages together, or
conversely, stopping them from being turned. I use a similar layout in Tarot readings.

Similar layout could be used with seven runes.

You could also consider using a 12 rune casting, linking each rune either with a month or with a sign
of the zodiac. This is usually laid out in a circle, as in Figure 7.3, although I have seen many
variations of this.

Yet another suggestion would be what is sometimes called the rune-cast method. Basically, you ‘shuffle’ the runes within their pouch, and having formed a circle of string on the floor, empty the pouch into it.

Those runes nearest to you have the greatest meaning. Should any have fallen outside the string circle,
these can be ignored; likewise if they fall on the string or have fallen face downwards.

There are many more ways of casting the runes, and no doubt you will find one suitable for you.
Experiment and practise.

Wednesday is also a day that acquired its name from an old Norse god – Odin. In the Germanic, in particular Saxon tribes, he was also called Woten or Wodin, hence Wednes-day or Woden’s day. Odin is the All-Father in the Norse pantheon and rules wisdom, mischief, poetry, quests and the runes (among many other things). Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury, which rules communication and more. So, if you cast on Wednesday, it should be for one of the following intentions: communication (verbal and written), technology, cars/transportation, wisdom, clarity, spiritual growth or enlightenment, travel, psychic abilities, courage, divination (particularly the runes), and power.

Meaning of Some Types of Flowers c. 2015

Flowers have always been a big feature at weddings, too. As an example, look to the royal flower bouquet in the wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, to Kate Middleton (now Catherine, Ducchess of Cambridge). Her flowers had very special meaning.

The groom, too, wears a flower that appears in the bridal bouquet in his button-hole. This stems from the Medieval tradition of wearing his Lady’s colors, as a declaration of his love.

One fun idea is to have a garden gathering and have each person bring a flower that has meaning to them. Or, paint tiles on a kitchen island with a flower that represents each of your loved ones.

There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature’s wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
–The Language of Flowers, London, 1875

This candle dressing can be incorporated into winter rituals or used on its own for spells for strength and endurance during difficult times. YOu might be able to find all the plant materials of this recipe in your own area.

For Anointing:

1 drop pine oil

1 drop peppermint oil

Than mix together

1 teaspoon dried pine needles

1 teaspoon dried cedar leaves

1 teaspoon dried crushed pinecone pieces

As you mix the dried plants, focus on the resilient toughness of a giant pine tree standing tall and strong despite all that works against it. Imagine yourself possessing the same majestic qualities. Anoint and dress a white, red or green candle.
