THE HIERARCHY OF THE TAROT

Here you can find the meanings of all 78 cards of the Tarot deck, with the focus on the Thoth-Crowley Tarot. Please note that this section is a part of my Tarot Divination and so designed that you can click on every tarot card in order to get the meaning of a card on a new tab while dealing with the divination or study of a particular section on a different page. The Major Arcana & the Minor Arcana The Tarot cards are set together of two parts - the Major Arcana which includes the 22 trump cards representing the archetypes or the classic 'trionfi', and the 56 cards of the Minor Arcana, which consists of the four suits Cups, Disks, Swords and Wands, each suit containing four court cards and ten numbered cards (the Ace is counted as 1). While the trump cards are representing the paths connecting the ten Sephirot of the Tree of Life, the suits are attached to the four elements Fire, Air, Water and Earth as follows: Wands the element of Fire, standing for the spiritual, for creativity, mysticism, imagination (world of Atziluth) Cups the element of Water, standing for emotion, feeling, relationship (world of Briah) Swords the element of Air, standing for the intellectual, the logical and scientific (world of Yetzirah) Disks the element of Earth, standing for the materials, the body, the 'down-to-earth-matters' (world of Assiah) The court cards are the Knight, the Queen, the Prince and the Princess - in the Thoth deck. This can get a bit confusing when using other decks, where the court cards are called King, Queen, Knight and Page (or Child), especially when the Thoth deck calls 'Knight' what most others call 'King' and 'Prince' what most others call 'Knight'. Here it might be helpful to remember the 'traditional' view to sort it like 'Father of the element', 'Mother of the element', 'Son of the element' and 'Daughter of the element'. The ten numbered cards represent the ten Sephirot, i.e. the ten steps of the element from Kether (Ace) to Malkuth (Ten). As for the meanings, always remember the one rule that someone might tell you a lot of the card, but only you yourself will really know what it means for you. "Prediction is extremely difficult. Especially about the future..." (Niels Bohr)   [Source: Raven's Tarot Site]

THE HIERARCHY OF THE TAROT

MAJOR ARCANA
The Major Arcana Tarot cards represent the life lessons, karmic influences and the big archetypal themes that are influencing your life and your soul's journey to enlightenment. The Major Arcana card meanings are deep and complex – in beautiful ways! Theses Tarot cards truly represent the structure of human consciousness and hold the keys to life lessons passed down through the ages. Also known as the "Trump Cards", the Major Arcana cards include 21 numbered cards and 1 unnumbered card (the Fool). The Fool is the main character of the Major Arcana and makes his journey through each of the cards, meeting new teachers and learning new life lessons along the way, and eventually reaching the completion of his journey with the World card. This is known as the "Fool's Journey" and is a helpful way of understanding the story line of the Major Arcana Tarot card meanings. When you see a Major Arcana card in a Tarot reading, you are being called to reflect on the life lessons and themes that are currently being experienced at this time. A Major Arcana card will often set the scene for the entire Tarot reading, with the other cards relating back to that core Major Arcana meaning. When a Tarot reading is predominantly made up of Major Arcana cards, you are experiencing life-changing events that will have long-term effects. There are important lessons that you must pay attention to in order to progress further in your spiritual and personal quest. – If many of the Major Arcana Tarot cards are reversed, however, it may be a sign that you are not paying enough attention to these important life lessons and you need to first master the lesson before being able to move forward.

THE HIERARCHY OF THE TAROT

MINOR ARCANA

COURT CARDS
The Courts Cards are a very special part of the Minor Arcana, and ever since Tarot readers went and interpreted persons into them - such as 'a dark stranger will come into your life' etc - especially on flea markets. This might be somewhat romantical but will not at all serve the Court Cards right or even well. Court cards indeed have a strong personal touch. Unlike the numbered cards who show the elements against the background of the 10 Sephiroth and are more likely defining various steps of a process, the Court Cards reflect personal human attributes within the elements, and the elements within the elements. So a more frequently appearing of court cards within a reading implies that personal feelings and emotions are more important than various steps of an ongoing process, wether for the person who is asking or for the cards that are answering. The differentiation between a personal feeling and a step of a process is very important in reading the cards. For example the famous question 'Does he love me?' will hardly ever get answered by any court card - since it asks for a process - therefore the Two of Cups in the answering position is sure good news. It won't say that *he* loves *her* or vice versa, but that love has the best chances to blossom. As for the Court Cards, it should be remembered that Tarot cards reflect the subconscious rather than any 'outside happenings', even when the borders might get blurred simply because the subconscious has a far deeper presentiment of the 'outside' than the consciousness could ever figure out. Questions regarding other persons will more likely show the own expectations and opinions than the others themselfes, often the instinctive, unconscious perception that in most cases bears far more truth than what the conscious prefers to see and/or figured out for itself. It should be fairly examined in how far a card reflects the picture that one has from another person or the reaction/feeling/expectation that the other person causes in the own inside. The best way to figure this out is studying the cards fairly and also studying the own inside. Unlike common rumours going, Tarot cards won't provide a comfortable 'how-to-live-and-what-to-do-manual' - what they do is give advices and help clearing the views into the own inside, where the answers usually can be found when only looking close enough. Below is just a short summary of what all court cards have in common, the 'normal' explanations can be found within the suits.
The Knights represents the fiery side of the element, so for example the Knight of Wands is the fiery side of the Fire, The Knight of Cups the fiery side of the Water etc. Knights are strong and powerful, but their eruptions won't last too long. The Knight of Wands is like a flash, the Knight of Cups like a strong rain, the Knight of Swords a storm and the Knight of Disks an avalanche. Knights are the fathers of their elements - but not a father who cares for his family dayin, dayout, but the father who generates a child and then is on his way again. The Knights in the Thoth deck stand as the Kings in other decks. It has lately come up that the Knights of the Thoth deck were not at all the Kings, but the Knights or Pages, while the Princes were the Kings. Here I vehemently disagree. In the order of the Thoth deck the line 'Knight - Queen - Prince - Princess' represents the line 'Father - Mother - Son - Daughter'. Crowley writes in his Book of Thoth: The Qabalists, devising the Tarot, then proceeded to make pictures of these extremely abstract ideas of Father, Mother, Son and Daughter, and they called them King, Queen, Prince and Princess. It is confusing, but they were also called Knight, Queen, King and Princess. Sometimes, too, the Prince and Princess are called "Emperor" and "Empress". The reason for this confusion is connected with the doctrine of the Fool of the Tarot, the legendary Wanderer, who wins the King's daughter, a legend which is connected with the old and exceedingly wise plan of choosing the successor to a king by his ability to win the princess from all competitors. (Frazer's Golden Bough is the authority on this subject.) It has been thought better, for the present pack, to adopt the term "Knight", "Queen", "Prince" and "Princess", to represent the series Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, because the doctrine involved, which is extraordinarily complex and difficult, demands it. The Father is "Knight" because he is represented as riding on a borse.
The Queens represent the watery side of each element, the daughters of the old Kings that were replaced by the stormy Knights. The Queens are thus the complements of the Knights, they will receive the seeds from them, ferment, and transmit the original Energy and give birth to the children of their elements, complementing Fire and Water, Yin and Yang, the bright flames with the dark seas, they are the mothers of their elements.
The Princes are the sons of the Queens and the Knights, representing the airy side of their elements. The princes have the combined powers of their parents, they are the active issue of their union and its manifestation, they are the intellectual combinations of both. So for example the Prince of Swords is the airy side of the element Air i.e. the air in the world of Yetzirah, created by the Fire of Yetzirah and born in the waters of Yetzirah. This might sound a bit complicated at first sight, but in the end has an almost simple logic that helps a lot to understand the cards. Princes stand as Knights or Pages in other decks.
The Princessess finally are the daughters of the Knights and the Queens, the earthly side of their elements. They represent - in short - the process that the numbered cards show going down from Kether to Malkuth, bringing the original spirit of each element down to the grounds of Assiah. Crowley writes of the Princesses: The Princesses have no Zodiacal attribution. Yet evidently they represent four types of human being. They are those numerous "elemental" people whom we recognize by their lack of all sense of responsibility, whose moral qualities seem to lack "bite". They are sub-divided according to planetary predominance. Such types have been repeatedly described in fiction. As Eliphaz Levi wrote: "The love of the Magus for such creatures is insensate, and may destroy him". [Source: Raven's Tarot Site]

THE HIERARCHY OF THE TAROT

NUMBER CARDS
As for the connection between Tarot and the Tree of Life, the numbered cards are attached to the 10 Sephirot, like 1 to Kether, 2 to Chokmah, 3 to Binah and so on.
SEPHIROT	ELEMENT OF AIR - SWORDS	ELEMENT OF FIRE - WANDS	ELEMENT OF WATER - CUPS	ELEMENT OF EARTH - DISKS
1. KETHER - The eternal, the spiritual perfection
1. KETHER - Crown - Liberation, Redemption	Kether is the first emanation, the level of pure unity, a pure existance with no dependance on anything but itself. It represents the uniqe essence of a subject, regarding to the four elements it is the 'source substance', the very beginning, the first spark of the flame that comes out of universal nothingness. Kether is the eternal source as well as the spiritual perfection, it is the begin of everything as well as its completion that makes the circle perfect. It corresponds to Yechidah, the all embracing level of soul that stands for the universe itself. It is the ultimate point, total unity, complete unto itself without dimensions or external definition. The journey of manifestation begins and ends with Kether. The spirit of Kether emanates directly into Chokmah and then into Binah, these three forming the Supernal Triangle. In the Minor Arcana, Kether is represented by the Aces, which are the roots and entity of the elements they stand for. They imply the unity of the number 1 and are the pureness of their elements, but also they are just the seeds. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Kether - the Aces:
	» Ace of Swords «	» Ace of Wands «	» Ace of Cups «	» Ace of Disks «
2. CHOKMAH - Power of creation, energy, wisdom
2. CHOKMAH - Wisdom - Insight, Inner Knowledge	Chokmah is the point where the pure unity splits into two so a first manifestion of the pure idea is achieved. It creates a viewpoint, an energy, a first concept of the universal nothingness that was represented by Kether. It is a very raw power, uneffected by analysis and specification, and thus so strong and effective. Chokmah is the idea of masculinity, as opposed to the femininity in Binah and the androgyny of Kether. It is the Supernal Father and therefore not only corresponds to the Deuces but also to the Knights of the Thoth Tarot (Kings in other decks). As the first distinguishable expression of the energy emanating from Kether Chokmah embodies the pure essence of the substance. As the Number Two it represents the balance and interaction of opposites which is present throughout the Tree and originates in the opposition of Chokmah and Binah, the latter being the Supernal Mother. It is not an opposition of fixed entities, rather fluid polarities like waxing and waning, growing and shrinking, building up and tearing down. Chokmah corresponds to the World of Atziluth, Chiah in soul, the general living spark that generates vitality. In the Twos of the Minor Arcana Chokmah is the first definition of what the Suit is all about, its purest and unchanged expression. In the Knights it embodies the Fathers of the element, the raw uncompensated power that wants to procreate. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Chokmah - the Twos and the Knights:
	» Peace «	» Dominion «	» Love «	» Change «
3. BINAH - Understanding, realization
3. BINAH - Understanding - Decision, Will	Binah represents the female potency of the Universe as Chokmah represents the male, both will be better understood when watched in correlation with each other. The are the first manifestation of the principle of polarity, the opposites that are to be seen as a unity. Chokmah is the force and Binah the form, the receiving of Chokmahs power, its perception and understanding. Without Binah the unrestricted, formless power of Chokmah would be but an empty combustion in nowhere's land. Binah is thus the Great Mother, the Great Sea, the archetypal womb from which all life comes into manifestation. But she also means restriction, binding and limitation - which is why she heads the Pillar of Severity and not that of Mercy which one might be attempted to view as more 'mother-like'. Here we must understand that birth is the beginning of death. The unrestricted powers emanating from Kether are immortal and timeless, those emanating from Chokmah are undefined and not even born into any substanstial existance. Binah receives these unbinded forces and forms them into being. But as soon as being begins it is subjugated to time and age and ultimately death. Binah is thus connected to Saturn, the Father of Time who in his Greek form of Kronos had the unpleasant habit of eating his children. Therefore Binah is not only the Bright Fertile Mother but also the Dark Sterile Mother, and the proverbial Terrible Mother who subjects her children to the merciless circle of birth and death, age and illness, rise and fall. However, Binah is the will to form, the actual form takes place not in Binah but in Chesed. Like the Element of Water which receives but leaves the actual birth to someone else Binahs children will only see the light of day on the other side of the Abyss. Binah represents Neshamah of the soul, the World of Briah, where individual potentials and powers are identified and specificated. It combines perception, realization and understanding, the first initiation of consciousness. In the Tarot Binah is associated with the Threes and the Queens. The Three is the number associated with the manifestation of matter with matter being just about anything that is manifest. The Queens are the Mothers of their elements and Suits. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Binah:
	» Sorrow «	» Virtue «	» Abundance «	» Work «
4. CHESED - Condensation, the power of growth and stability
4. CHESED - Mercy - Forgiveness, Kindness	The fourth Spehirah Chesed is the beginning of manifestation, the externalization of the combined potencies of Kether, Chokmah and Binah. It is the first Sephira below the Abyss, the beginning of the Microprosopus as the realm of actual existance, the first manifestation of the human consciousness as it corresponds to Ruach - the intellectual mind. Chesed is the central Sephirah in the Pillar of Mercy, situated directley under Chokmah. Emanated from Binah it is the son of those two Supernals, organising and preserving all of the power that was born by Binah from Chokmah's semen. It is the form that Binah had determined for existance and that now becomes actual and real. Associated with Jupiter (Zeus), Chesed is a benevolent ruler whose name translates as 'kindness', it is the power of growth and expansion, stability and extension, willing to provide structure and stabilty. Kind of nature, it also represents charity and generosity. In the Tarot Chesed is represented by the Fours and Four is its mystical number. We have seen that Kether is the point, Chokmah the line, Binah the two-dimensional plane, and as noted in the » Naples Arrangement the next figure in the order is the three-dimensional solid body. Hence the symbol assigned to Chesed is the pyramid, a tetrahedron which brings together four sides. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Chesed - the Fours:
	» Truce «	» Completion «	» Luxury «	» Power «
5. Geburah - Movement and changing, the power of destruction
5. GEBURAH - Discipline - Strenth, Power	Geburah is probably the least understood Sephirah in the Tree of Life, least appreciated in its mostly desastrous representation in the Fives in Tarot, quite often seen as the evil power destroying the harmonious stability of Chesed (in the Fours). Yet Geburah is the inevitable counterbalance to Chesed and we must not view one of them without considering the second. True to the Principle of Polarity that already showed in the relation between Chokmah and Binah the same mutual balance exists between Chesed and Geburah, albeit on a lower arc in what is called the Ethical Triangle. On the Pillar of Severity Geburah is placed directly under Binah and like Binah who binds and restricts the energies of Chokmah Geburah does the same to the powers of Chesed. And like above this is not just due to wanton rudeness but serves a purpose. Geburah is the one sorting out the obsolete, the excess and the redundant, cuts down on the fruits of overabundance and superfluity and quite rudely 'cleans up the place'. Ruled by Mars which is responsible for its aggressive recklessness it also shows the Saturnial influence of its mother Binah, weighing the status quo achieved and preserved by Chesed against the judgement of time and deciding what can remain and what has to go. As painful as this can be it is still a necessity on our way to perfection. When watching both Sephiroth as Kings, we see Chesed as the peaceful ruler sitting comfortably on his throne governing his expanding kingdom, while Geburah is the Warrior King in pure Spartanic tradition. Any trouble at the borders, any discrepancies within the realm, any signs of sloth here or neglect there and the Warrior King is up in arms putting things straight. While Chesed prefers to sit back contentedly in what he has achieved Geburah is meant to move and change, never satisfied with any status quo, tearing old things down so that new things can be built, causing (temporarily) instability and imbalance as a result. We might be forgiven when we watch him as a pain in the .. err.. back yet we should not forget that we need him nonetheless. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Geburah - the Fives:
	» Defeat «	» Strife «	» Disappointment «	» Worry «
6. TIPHARETH - Consciousness and harmony, the balance of the middle, beauty
6. TIPHARETH - Beauty - Love, Compassion	Tiphareth completes the Ethical Triangle in the Tree of Life, it is the balance and the equilibrium between Chesed and Geburah. Tiphareth has learned that the two seemingly so different kings - the benevolent ruler and the merciless Warrior King, are in fact one and the same, or as the Principle of Polarity would say: the two contrasting sets of qualities are actually just two aspects or phases of the whole. This triad (Chesed, Geburah and Tiphareth) represents the concept of analysis. Chesed stands for the richdom of growth, Geburah as its quintessence exposes its faults and restrictions, and Tiphareth gets it all back to harmony, drawing the best out of both extremes. Located in the middle of the Tree of Life, in the Pillar of Mildness which is also the Pillar of Consciousness, Tiphareth stands for the harmony of the middle, the beauty of itself, the consciousness reflecting on itself, having experienced both positive and negative heights and got out of it matured and wisened. It is the center of the Microprosopus. Tiphareth is Kether on a lower arc and Yesod on a higher level. Watched from the higher planes of the Tree it is the child emanating from the spheres above, watched from the lower planes it is the King closest to the skies. As we will later see Tiphareth also provides a balance between Netzach and Hod. The Sephirah Tiphareth stands for devotion - devotion for a higher spiritual purpose or devotion to whatever one may be concerned with. The planet associated with it is the Sun in all its beauty and glory. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Tiphareth - the Sixes and the Princes:
	» Science «	» Victory «	» Pleasure «	» Success «
7. NETZACH - Creativity and anarchy, sensitivity
7. NETZACH - Victory - Perseverance, Persistence	With the seventh Sephirah Netzach we are entering the Astral Triangle, the realm of personality and our own consciousness. Netzach represents the instincts, the emotions caused by those, it is sensitivity and creativity on an instinctive, umconscious level. The white light that shone so bright in Tiphareth is split into thousands of coloured rays in Netzach, almost like in a prism but yet unsorted, anarchic, flowing about in uncontrolled, ever-shifting shapes. Ruled by Venus which never was an influence known for order and practicability, Netzach is a peculiar sphere. It is located at the bottom of the Pillar of Mercy where, as we remember, all the growing, expanding and unrestricted powers arise. It reflects the Fire of the warlike Geburah through Tiphareth, providing even the Fire with Venusian splendour (we might think of Venus flattering around Mars here). It doubtlessly wants nothing but beautiful good and yet its direct manifestation in the Sevens of the Tarot are seldom good news. As all the Sephirah in the Pillar of Mercy need their balancing counterpart in the Pillar of Severity Netzach rather badly needs Hod, the eight Sephirah. While Netzach is the uncontrolled instinct Hod is the conscious mind. Netzach is pure, archaic emotion and Hod is the rational intellect. Netzach is wavering, dissolutive anarchy while Hod is wellthought structure. Netzach with its manifold, differing and confusing shades and facets is often considered the Sphere of Illusion when it is this very anarchic and emotional nature where illusion florishs. It is also called the Sephirah of Destiny, breaking out of the wellbalanced harmony of Tiphareth with neither care nor concern. Netzach is moving no matter what, it cannot stand still. We need Netzach for in it lies all artistry, all passion, all emotion that makes our being worthwhile, but woe to us if the balance of Hod is missing. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Netzach - the Sevens:
	» Futility «	» Valour «	» Debauch «	» Failure «
8. HOD - intellect and logic, structure
8. HOD - Splendour - Glory, Radiance, Openness	The counterbalance of the anarchic Netzach on the Astral Plane in the Tree of Life is Hod, the eigth Sephirah. While Netzach is the Force, Hod is the Form, providing organization and structure to the uncontrolled power of its counterpart from which it emanates. As a couple, Netzach and Hod are often referred to as 'time' and 'place'. Like Netzach was reflected from Geburah through Tiphareth, Hod is reflected from Chesed through Tiphareth, representing its coagulating principle. Hod is also called the Sphere of Magic(k) since it is the sphere of the formulation of form, change imposed by will and intellect. Quite naturally it is also restriction and discrimination or - as Crowley's Eight of Swords so aptly put it - interference. You cannot form anything without restricting it in one way or the other, once you tame a wild thing its freedom is limited. This is the primary effect of any Sephirah on the Pillar of Severity hence its name. Hod is ruled by Mercury and thus associated with Hermes aka Mercury aka Thoth, the god of wisdom and scripture. The Tarot as 'Book of Thoth' is referred to Hod as well as all language since both can be considered as carriers of messages and meanings. Hod is the conscious thinking, the intellectual logic and the rationality of mind. It is the explorer and scientist, the magician and researcher, but also the god of trickery and deceit. Just remember that Netzach is the Sphere of Illusion - what becomes of an illusion once it is rendered into servable portions? Hod is quite often not much appreciated by people enthusiastically throwing themselfes into the 'mysteries of occultism' when its rather unmysterious rationalism seems so much less attractive than the iridescent fluidity of Netzach, yet without Hod one would be hopelessly lost in what is actually nothing but an unsorted mess of primeval instincts. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Hod - the Eights:
	» Interference «	» Swiftness «	» Indolence «	» Prudence «
9. YESOD - Reflection and imagination
9. YESOD - Foundation - Outcome, Result	In Yesod we find the equilibrium of the Astral Plane, the Sphere in which both Netzach and Hod find their balance and perfection. At first sight Yesod seems to be a contradictory Sephirah. At one side it is all fluidity, ruled by the Moon in a constant state of waxing and waning, of flux and reflux. On the other hand it is called 'the machinery' of the universe, being the receptable of all emanations of the other Sephirah above it on the Tree of Life, and the only transmitter of these emanations to Malkuth. When we think of it it is not so contradictory as it appears. A machine has to move, at least something in it has to, in order to function. With no movement and rhythm whatsoever there is nothing the machine could empower. Unlike Netzach Yesod is no uncontrolled mess of instincts, it is the Sphere of reflection and imagination emanating from Hod, the wisdom and the structure. Yesod can be compared with a giant image gallery storing the images of past and present, of below and beyond, beautiful ones and ugly ones, soothing and frightening, dreams and nightmares. They're floating and shifting, moving like figures on an old silent movie screen. And that's what they are considering that Yesod belongs to the Astral Triangle, the realm of illusion. With the Moon being seen as the ruler of the tides and thus Water Yesod is related to the Seas of Binah and in fact it can be also compared with a deep sea. And like the Moon who has no light of its own the light we see in Yesod is but a reflection of Tiphareth which lies above it on the Pillar of Mildness. Yesod is called the 'Vehicle of Life' because it is the vehicle that channels all life into Malkuth. Given that Yesod receives all the emanations from above while securely resting in the Pillar of Mildness, also called the Pillar of Harmony, it is a very powerful Sephirah which in turn renders the Tarot cards assigned to it into powerful cards. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Yesod - the Nines:
	» Cruelty «	» Strength «	» Happiness «	» Gain «
10. MALKUTH - the root, the origin, the Kingdom
10. MALKUTH - Kingship - Finish, Realization	At the very bottom of the Tree of Life we find Malkuth, the Bride of Microprosopus, also called the Kingdom, the final phase of active manifestation. While Yesod is the machinery sorting and combining all emanations from the upper levels of the Tree, it is in Malkuth that these emanations finally find a solid base to materialize. Malkuth is associated with Nefesh, the animal soul, and to Assiah, the world of making. It is in Malkuth were we are grounded and have our actual life, it is from Malkuth that we can look at the upper spheres at all. Being the very ground and body in which we are existent it is of utmost importance to our being, without Malkuth we simply would not be here at all. All spiritual exercise we will ever engage in has to be rooted and secured in our own Malkuth. While Malkuth is securely anchored in the world of Assiah it combines all four elements in it, which becomes quite natural when we look at all life in and on our Earth. Take a little blade of grass for example.The grass itself is matter that is Earth, it was brought to life by the spark of vitality that is Fire, it is nurtured and fed by Water and it is Air in which it breathes. You could not take one of the elements away without destroying the being of this blade of grass, and it is likewise with all other life on Earth. In the nice game of climbing the Tree of Life upwards and downwards in order to explore one's self, the desire is mostly focussed on the shining crown of Kether, believing that when the crown is reached the big goal is achieved. But, people forget that the biggest mystery is hidden in the own inside, and only very few have really seen the own Malkuth, let alone explored it. See below the Tarot cards corresponding to Malkuth - the Tens and the Princesses:
	» Ruin «	» Oppression «	» Satiety «	» Wealth «

0. THE FOOL (The Jester) [ » The Fool « ]

0. (XXII.) THE FOOL (The Juggler) - Mercury / Uranus - Neptune - Madness The Fool personifies the child in us. Spontaneously represents a fresh start and an open-minded openness. The expression of playful, life-like carelessness shows that we are entering a new area of ​​our lives with astonishment, strong expectations and often without prior knowledge. It may also refer to the mood of a child, and therefore to carelessness, foolish naivety, playfulness, but it can also mean foolishness, or the simplicity of wise and humble insight, which we can only come at the end of a long and often arduous journey. The Fool can embody the copy, the blatant fraternity, but even the only honest court advisor as the king's alter native. In all cases, living in the present, expressing openness and spontaneous honesty, is always ready for new experiences. Keywords: Openness, trust, risk-taking, loyalty to ourselves, freedom, independence, creativity, performance, leapfrogging, follow-up of the heart.

VI. THE LOVERS (The Lovers) [ » The Lovers « ]

VI. THE LOVERS - Venus - Jupiter; Venus - Mars - Love This card combines two themes. It refers to significant love experiences, but also realizes that this requires a decision: to abandon the limits of our lives (parental home, bachelor life, flirting) and to commit ourselves to our love. Only this step will lead to the overwhelming experience of the Lovers Card. That's why this card was called the Decision Card earlier. It may also represent necessary decisions that have nothing to do with or have little to do with love. In this case, it means having to decide with full heart without resentment and leaving openings. Which of the two topics the card refers to depends on the background of the question asked. In all cases it represents the great, unscrupulous yes. Keywords: Gemini, love, attraction, rapprochement, relationship, relationship, dissolution of contradictions in love, becoming conscious through human relationships Advice: Pulling out this tab indicates a wonderful and stirring love affair.

VII. THE CHARIOT (The Chariot) [ » The Chariot « ]

VII. THE CHARIOT - Aries - Pursuit The Chariot is a great leap forward. It shows that we get away from our usual environment and walk our own way. For this, the desire for freedom, the search for lost paradise, or simply our pursuit of purpose, is the driving force behind this. The Triumph of the Triumph is the only Tarot card that depicts this journey as hopeful and joyful. In all other cases, we say goodbye to the heart and fear. Here, however, it is a matter of feeble, disobedient advancement, entrepreneurship and risk-taking. The card shows great skill in driving the car, but it also reflects our inexperience in the unknown world. Therefore, we must also interpret it as a warning not to overestimate our own power, not to be euphoric. Let's see in time that we have a lot to learn. Keywords: Cancer, New Beginnings, Good Change, Self-Examination, Meditation, Spiritual Path Advice: The change ahead of you promises a fulfilling life for you.

IX. THE HERMIT (The Hermit) [ » The Hermit « ]

IX. THE HERMIT- Saturn - Aquarius - Wisdom The Hermit is the card of retreat and turning into ourselves. It depicts an introverted phase of life, separating ourselves from foreign influences, so that we find ourselves again in peace and out of our zealous activity and, above all, ourselves. Thus, Remete refers to significant experiences in recognizing who we are, what we want and how we can achieve it. It combines two valuable extremes: the depth of experience and the high level of recognition. Many people are unfounded about this card. Fear of loneliness and abandonment only appears when they are misunderstood. Anyone who follows the call of Remete voluntarily enriches with light, strength and the happy experience that she can be alone. Keywords: Virgo, finding our own inner light, moving inward, fertility, perfection, finishing, harvesting, being at peace in our inner center, wise leader Advice: Accept your privacy!

X. FORTUNE (The Wheel) [ » Fortune « ]

X. FORTUNE (The Wheel) - Saturn - Lesson According to how we face our destiny, the card refers to our helplessness and helplessness or to the life experience that helps our development and maturation. At the level of events, the Whee of Fortune often shows situations that we are not able to influence yet. The descending side of the Wheel means that our plans simply fail, weather, road traffic, airport strike, revenge of objects, or other "higher power" destroys our plans. The Wheel of Fortune then shows that it is not (yet) time to realize our intention. In other places, the card in this case provides valuable guidance on how to get to the other, ascending side of the Wheel. This is lucky, pleasant, and even surprising. Keywords: Jupiter; new beginnings, expansion, creativity, big breakthrough; self-realization; unexpected luck, growth Advice: If there are no miracles in your life, then something is wrong! You're in for a big breakthrough! Take advantage of the moment. Question: Are you really ready for great luck, wealth, success? Who's on your way?

XI. LUST (Strength) [ » Lust « ]

XI. STRENGTH - (Force) - LUST (Crowley) - Lion - Lord The Strength (Lust) Card, in a sense, has a relationship with the Magician. As there, there is a secret, deep, inner harmony as the basis of special power. While the power of the Magician is influenced by the harmony of conscious and subconscious forces, the power, courage and passion of this card expresses the reconciliation of civilized man with his own animal nature. This card makes it clear that we cannot hide our instinct behind pale virtues, but we must openly face the sometimes scary archaic forces in us, accepting them slowly, tame by gentle violence. In this way, we have not only these ancient forces available, but all our resources that have been used to suppress our instincts. Keywords: Lion zodiac sign; passion, multidimensional creativity, talent, power, animal energy; overcoming old fears and innuendo Advice: When you are ready to accept what you find within yourself, you will be able to go through all of it with deep sensitivity, alertness, love and understanding. Questions: Which areas of your life do you want to live more fully? What has prevented you from doing so in the past? Are you ready to do this again? Suggestion: Handle everything with greater alertness, awareness. Emotions such as love, sadness, pain, looseness or fear are often experienced as obstacles, simply because we have never learned to use them as potential energy. Revelation: I totally enjoy life. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 26. Ta Chu (The Power of the Great Tamer) Mythology: The Lioness (Hebe, Heba, Istara, Urduk, Kyrene) Keywords: vitality, courage, pride, passion, passion, instinct The weakness of a seemingly invulnerable enemy is manifested when we stop fleeing and surrender.

XII. THE HANGED MAN (The Hanged Man) [ » The Hanged Man « ]

XII. THE HANGED MAN - Sun - Pisces 12th House - Compulsion The superficial meaning of the Hanged Man is that we are stuck, we are in a dog clutch. However, looking deeper, the external immobility of this forced resting state is indispensable. It is also possible to change our world view and our whole life with in-depth analysis. This episode of condemnation can be characterized by the image of the disease, which is often indicated by the card. The other names of the 12th card are: the world set on his head, the crucified, the victim, the trial. The male figure on the card is upside-down, with two legs hanging by his feet. However, this uncomfortable posture makes it easy: the man crouches one of his legs playfully, holding a flute in his hand. This condition causes more joy than pain. Keywords: congealment, ending a stuck situation or relationship, releasing, giving up, giving up, learning to see from a new perspective, the need to break old patterns of behavior Advice: Now it is possible for you to recognize where you are stuck and which areas of your life are frozen. Nothing needs to be done. The mere fact that you have a clear sense of the reality around you will bring about a possible transformation. Questions: In what areas is your life stuck? Are you ready to recognize and give up your petrified thoughts and behaviors? Suggestion: Pull another card to see what awaits you after your surrender. Revelation: I let go and understand, follow and accept in my life the divine will that is revealed to me step by step. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 12. P'i (The Stagnation, Slump) Mythology: The Handcuffed Hero (Prometheus, Odin, Attis, Semchasai, Jonah) Keywords: twist, inspiration, compulsion, captivity, profound turn Everything is hidden behind something else. We have to go up and down to liberate ourselves.

XIII. DEATH (Death) [ » Death « ]

XIII. DEATH - Saturn 8th House - The Border Death means farewell, the great release, the end. At the same time, it is preparing the new way of coming; the card itself, however, primarily exposes us to the end. Within this, it may mean the long-awaited, liberating ending, but it may of course also refer to our most painful experiences. Unlike the Swords, which is a voluntary and thus premature end, this card always marks the natural end and the time has come to let go of something. Death is unreasonably one of the dreaded cards. Those who wear pink glasses will only interpret the card as their new messenger and want to deprive us of the profound experience of farewell and the associated life-long experience. Keywords: Scorpio, death and rebirth, transformation, scorpion-snake eagle, liberation from old temptations, external changes, passing away, renewal Advice: Are you ready to make the necessary changes in your life? Accept the suffering that can accompany getting rid of old things. Qusetion: What kind of situation or relationship do you have that you have over time? Suggestion: "Die before you die." This ancient Sufi saying warns us to learn the art of death. As long as we have any fear of death or any fear of complete remission, we cannot live life to the full. Every attachment, any "no", prevents us from becoming a part of the natural flow of Life. Revelation: Every attachment, any rejection, prevents my life from going naturally. Now I say yes to Death, yes to Life, yes to myself. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 59. Huan (Unlocking, Dispersion) Mythology: The Sons of the Night (Sons of Nyx; Thanatos and Hypnos) Keywords: border, end, parting, farewell The evil which we all carry within ourselves.

XIV. TEMPERANCE (Art) [ » Art « ]

XIV. TEMPERANCE (Balance) - ART (Crowley) - Venus - Harmony This card is the healthy counterpart of the next Devil (XV) card, who is the embodiment of incapacity. Harmony, balance, calmness and spiritual peace are the hallmarks of Measurement. This means a happy experience of health and spiritual balance, that is, we treat ourselves well, we love ourselves and therefore live in harmony with our environment. Depending on the background of our question, it may mean healing or recovery. This card is an expression of a state of equilibrium, the creation of which presupposes the balancing and temperamental ability of man. In this life situation, one tries to find a realistic middle ground between his desires and possibilities. Keywords: Sagittarius, reconciliation of contradictions, balance, inner change, transformation, alchemy, creative power, quality change Advice: The Art Card is a challenge to look inside, inviting you to turn inward. At this stage of the unification of opposites, the transformation process does not tolerate any new impulse or impetus from the outside. In order to find the hidden stone, the diamond, you have to look inside. Question: What kind of contradictions do you want to reconcile in yourself or in your life now? Suggestion: Close your eyes and imagine a source of energy in your body, a fountain. Take a little bath at this rejuvenating price. Revelation: I surrender myself to the transforming forces of love. I'm an open channel for creative energy. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 15.

XV. THE DEVIL (The Tempter) [ » The Devil « ]

XV. THE DEVIL - Pluto - Disorder Depending on the nature of all the Tarot cards, the Devil is the most difficult to grasp because it shows a different face to everyone. In his experiences, the common feature is the addiction, the willlessness, the failure of good intentions, and the actions that contradict our conviction.The Devil corresponds to the Dark Side of many Tarot Cards: Unlike Magus (I), he is the Black Magician. Part of the dark side of the High Priestess (II), he is the hypocrite of the High Priest (V), the admirer of the material world; He embodies the unbridled greed of Lust (XI), he is the opposite of Temperance (XIV), the inferiority, he dominates the other parts of the Moon (XVIII). As haunting, of course, it often appears in an attractive form. The card shows that we are playing with the fire and we have to pay attention to hell (!) to avoid burning ourselves. At a deeper level of interpretation it means that we have to face our own shady side of the question. Keywords: Capricorn, creative energy, procreation, humor, sensuality, sexuality, creative energy, individuality Advice: There may be people who look at you like a demon who claim to be Satan. Approach them with humor and ease. Accept what life gives you. Keep yourself straight! Stay on Earth! Question: Do you have a wish or desire that you do not recognize yourself? Suggestion: Sit comfortably for meditation. Listen to your breathing. Imagine that with every exhale a stalk grows out of your spine and penetrates deep into the middle of the earth, it happens quickly. Now feel that every breath you breathe has earth energy flowing into you. Fills your whole body. Then look at the top of your head. Open in front of the golden yellow cosmic energy. Feel as you blend in with earth energy and fill your body. Revelation: I am the master of my life. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 36. Ming Ji (Darkening of the Light) Mythology: The Haunting (Shemachasai, Azazel, Helel, Samael, Lucifer, Satan) Keywords: disharmony, chaos, volatility, addiction, failure, darkness Evil also comes from the pleasure of evil, but man is not born of this pleasure.

XVI. THE TOWER (The Tower) [ » The Tower « ]

XVI. THE TOWER - Uranus / Saturn - Change The Tower shows that the walls raised around the perceived security are suddenly swirling. It is usually about structures and dimensions that have become too narrow for us. This can affect our beliefs and principles as well as our professional and financial security ideas, not least our friendly and other personal relationships. In any case, the tower represents a concept that has previously provided us with benevolent security, perhaps even a defense, but from which we have now grown. Usually surprising experiences, sometimes sparkling ideas that ruin the old concept. Since this is primarily about the perceived base of our security, these sudden changes are often seen as disasters. Only after the first shock is over is we relieved that we have been freed from the old burden. This breakthrough can be triggered either by our own recognition or by an external event. Keywords: Mars, profound transformation, healing, old destroys to make room for new, spiritual renewal, self-knowledge Advice: In the middle (or threshold) of an extremely intense transformation process, or. Whatever is lost or shaken in you serves to purify it and give room for something new. Let go! Question: Are you ready to look at yourself and your life in a different way?

Revelation: Everything in my life is for the best, for my benefit. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 51. Chen (The Exciter, The Arouser, The Thunder, The Shaking) Mythology: Self-Destruction (Menetekel, Kronos, Jericho, Babel, Sodom and Gomorrah) Keywords: sudden outburst, pendulum, collapse, sudden change in disaster The once beautiful ruins are now inhabited by devils.

XVII. THE STAR - Jupiter 11th House - Faith The Star is a card of discovery of hope, wisdom, and deeper relationships. It shows that we are designing or launching dogs that go far into the future and whose positive development can be rightly hoped for. At this early stage, we are often not yet aware of the far-reaching effects of our actions. It is only by looking back at the events that it becomes clear to us how decisive the change of direction the Star was at that time. As the greening of sowing, the recognition of the results of this action also takes time. The traditional interpretation considers Star as one of the three protective cards, which promises joyful success. Keywords: Aquarius, stimulation, crystallization, self-knowledge, radiance, clairvoyance, self-confidence, relation to universal intelligence Advice: Let your star rise and stay in touch with the earth.

XVIII. THE MOON (The Moon) [ » The Moon « ]

XVIII. THE MOON - Moon - Scorpio - Deep Vision The Moon card guides you into the darkness and the night, into the mysterious worlds of the soul, showing our beliefs, desires, and dreams. The bright side of the moon denotes romantic dreaming, vivid fantasy and highly sophisticated sensitivity. Still, the card shows the dark side, the depths of the soul. It symbolizes our fears, insecurities, nightmares, dark conjectures, the horror of the invisible, elusive things, and the shiver. We feel this fear when we pass through the night forest, which we cut through in the daytime, but in the dark it teaches fear.

XX. THE JUDGMENT (The Aeon) [ » The Aeon « ]

XX. THE JUDGMENT (Rebirth) - AEON (Crowley) - Jupiter / Uranus - Sun; Aquarius - Freedom The Judgment card is easily misunderstood if we start from its name. The punishment, the damnation, and consequently the fear and fright, are the main reasons for the judgment, especially the final judgment here. The meaning of the card, however, can only be interpreted on the basis of its symbols and the underlying spiritual and mythological images. The resurrection depicted here illustrates the captivating experience of salvation, showing the liberation of the things that have been buried or detained so far, that the divine stands out from the darkness of the prisons and comes to light. This proves the happy meaning of the card. By becoming self, it represents the decisive step of a successful process of alchemical change that creates a higher order from the lower order. At the ordinary level, it means all forms of liberation: liberation from troubles, necessity, ungrateful situations and relationships, inhibitions and shyness. It may also refer to the real "treasure" of our card's intention. Keywords: good judgment, open to criticism, critical self-analysis Advice: You have been invited to break your "Frog perspective" to take things from a higher level. As you recognize longer time spans and other relationships (which you are increasingly ready to do), you will tend to become more aware of things in your own existence: to see without estimates.

Revelation: God is the Unknown, the Mysterious. The more I know that I do not know, the closer I am to the Divine. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 40. Hsieh (The Liberation, Deliverance) Mythology: The Liberation (Innana, Osiris, Orpheus, Odysseus, Herakles, Psyche, Aeneas) Keywords: liberation, dissolution, redemption, enlightenment To move forward in the future, we must end everything that came from our past.

In the field of our spiritual experiences, the card of the world refers to the fact that we have made a significant and even decisive step towards becoming ourselves, our true credibility, our own fullness.

CORRESPONDENCES OF THE TAROT

THE MINOR ARCANA

SWORDS

The Suit of Swords The Swords represent the Element of Air, the world of Yetzirah, Ruach in soul. Yetzirah is the world of formation, of synthesis and analysis, where the amorphous flames of Atzliuth and the subconscious emotions of Briah are analysed, seperated and formulated. It refers to Ruach, the spirit of human intellect and consciousness of mind. So the Swords represent the qualities of intellect and rationality, but also to every considerated achievement like culture, science, philosophy or any ongoing process that later ends up as 'history'. This almost explains by itself why the Swords can be blessing and malediction the same time. From their elemental dignities, Swords do not harmonize too well with Disks when the airy spirits have not much patience with the passive stillness of the Earth. The get along well with both Wands and Cups. Some thoughts over Swords It might not be the most usual sight to see the suit of the Swords attached to Uranus, and in the beginning of my studies I usually grabbed for Mercury or Mars just because everybody else did. But, the more I thought about the Swords, and the more I began to see them against the background of nowadays, I began to notice that there was much more behind it than just intellect and aggression - it was science and revolution. In most writings, the Swords are stigmatized as the 'agressive, difficult' suit. This is somewhat understandable when considering the fact that a sword is a weapon and implies the association to war. Intellect usually is attached to coldness, and science is not the most pleasant thing to deal with, either. Long ago, science was damned because it had a nasty habit of ridiculing dogma and belief. Nowadays it is damned for it revealing the embarrassing fact that mankind's ethics and mental processes are limping along some seven centuries behind its scientific progress. Uranus is the planet of change and revolution, independence and new inventions, usually attached to the Tower (sudden realisation, destruction), and also symbolizing the Fool (innocent spirit) and the Devil (anarchy of mind). All this fits to the Swords, especially today. Einstein was a 'Fool', swooping down on all and sundry from the clouds when he noticed that people had found nothing better to do with his great work than to build a bomb with it. Almost all physicists are, complaining about the sad fact that the only way to receive more research funding is to work for the defense industry in one manner or another. Then, there is the revolution of Uranus, the destruction of the Tower. Science today is far more revolutionary than ever before. We lived so happily in our Newtonian world, relying on the divine truth that an apple is an apple and will fall down on the ground when moved by a power. And today? We can't even be sure what an apple is anymore. What exactly is the difference between us and the apple when both are nothing but a mass of spinning particles that accidentally happen to form such figures as an apple, or a mountain, or a washing machine or a human being? Our comforting view of time got cracked by a twin paradox, our trust in Einstein sabotaged by the EPR experiment and we desperately strain the limits of our sorely limited imagination in order to figure a Mobius strip in four-dimensional-space. And finally, there is the Devil, the anarchic scientist, uneffected by fear and doubt, with no beliefs, no religions, ever able to freely and uncompromising go on his way. The suit of the Swords is not at all a 'bad' suit, nor are the Swords dangerous, difficult or aggressive. We cannot blame them for the way we are. [Source: Raven's Tarot Site]

THE TWO OF SWORDS - PEACE - Moon - Gemini - Doubt The card shows stubborn, desperate, insane situations.

The subconscious area symbolized by the sea and the moon on the card is unattainable to us. The swords crossed, the limitations of the intellect cut the way. This shows the bad situation that we get into when we strive hard for clarifying recognition without having to listen to the inner voice. The Sword is the opposite of the High Priestess (II) card. A common motif is the sitting position of the figures. Blue tones depicting the intuitive power of the High Priestess fall into the background of this card.

THE THREE OF SWORDS - Sorrow - Mars - Moon - Consistency The Three of Swords card, based on its pictorial meaning, can be easily interpreted unilaterally and hastily as a painful experience, especially as a depiction of love sorrow.

To refer to this action, or to liberation, can only be judged on the basis of the background of the question and the interpretation of the other cards. If tyrannical intelligence suppresses emotions, the card's message should be considered.

In any case, we are about to get out on a new shore, and we have to leave the old shore without knowing what will be there. Accordingly, it indicates the pain of farewell, the uncertainty, the fears and the troubles, but it also represents an excited curiosity that we look to the future.

This may indicate a poor conscience, threatening our existence, illnesses or painful loss of our dream.

SWORDS 10 - RUIN (The Ruin) [ » Swords 10 - Ruin « ]

THE TENTH OF SWORDS - Failure - Mars - Saturn - Violent End The Ten of Swords, like the Death (XIII), symbolizes the end and the departure, the great layoffs. Unlike the Death card, which marks the natural end, the Ten of Swords is an arbitrary, possibly violent death, and sometimes an early ending. Although this experience is often associated with severe life experiences, it is not necessary. The mass of swords symbolizes the unified power of the mind, which makes a violent end to something. This makes it vital for us to end up with very valuable experiences, or to end up with unpleasant situations, to leave us with bad habits, or to end a depressing life cycle. In all cases it means painful farewell. Whether we are experiencing overwhelming feelings or ultimately being relieved as a surgical intervention, it can only be decided on the basis of the card's environment. Whether the displayed end is necessary or incorrect, absurd or hasty, is revealed from the other cards. Keywords: Sun and Moon in Gemini, fear of insanity, broken heart, fear of the destructive energy of accumulated anger, negative thinking Advice: The first step is to realize your fear of insanity and collapse. The second step is to understand the negative energies that lie behind your fears. If you want them, you can overcome these fears by recognizing them. Questions: What are your biggest fears? What would a total collapse of your life be like? Suggestion: Once you have identified the areas of your fear, formulate your own specific statement and use only positive concepts to help yourself "reprogram" yourself. Revelation: Negative thinking hinders the natural momentum of my life. When I turn to myself with love, I open up again to life. Analogies: Ji-Ching: 18. Ku (Restoration, Working on Depravity) Mythology: The Border Guards (Terminus) Keywords: downfall, deadline, border; end position; an arbitrary violent end To face the fight, you need more than one weapon.

WANDS

The Suit of Wands The Wands represent the element of Fire, the world of Atziluth and Chiah of the soul. Atziluth is the world of pure emanation, the world which flows directly out of the infinite, and so the Wands stand for the human soul in general, the spirituality which lives within us. This fire - the living light - motivates us to strive for consciousness and action. In the positive aspect, Fire manifests as will, inspiration, the wish and power to achieve honor and victory. Negatively, these last qualities become pride, egoism, despotism, and tyranny. In a literal sense, Fire is the provider of warmth and light, but uncontrolled is the most destructive of the elements. Chiah is the 'general living spark', the vitality itself, connected with all life and being held for the level closest to the 'Divine' itself. Chiah is best described as the general instinct to live, but on a much higher level than just the instinct to exist as represented by the animal soul of Nefesh. From an elemental aspect Wands don't go very well with Cups since Fire and Water eaken each other. They goes along quite fine with Swords since both are active and can harmonize well with Disks.

CUPS

The Suit of Cups The Cups represent the element of Water, the world of Briah, Neshamah of the soul. Briah translates as "creation", and like Neshamah, Briah is the stage where the human soul creates individual personality and identity, to define a specific form and function from the amorphous energies of Atziluth. The creation done in Briah is not the creation of a conscious thought like in Yetzirah, let alone any physical creation like in Assiah, it's rather the first creation of a precondition that is needed to create anything at all. The Cups like the Water also represent the qualities of passivity, dependency and receptivity, typical for emotion, passion and desire, because those feelings are always dependent on outside influences, they need a goal or an impulse to come alive. In the field of the Elemental Dignities Cups don't go all too well with Wands since Water and Fire weaken each other. They do go well with Disks and Swords where the Disks are a bit more familiar to the Cups due to their earthy passivity. In common Tarot, the Cups are mostly taken for the emotions or definitions regarding human relations, and this is somewhat understandable when our human emotions most often aim at someone else. Nevertheless, a Cup card should not be viewed with any restriction such as this, because sometimes we really might miss the point when wondering all the time 'What the hell has Keith got to do with it??'

DISKS

The Suit of Disks The Disks represent the element of the Earth, the world of Assiah, Nefesh in soul. Assiah is the world of making, literally translated as 'action', the actual material area in which all things live and grow physically. It is the final ground that all the preceding worlds need to become real. Assiah is stable and predictable, though it would be dead without the warmth of the Fires of Atziluth, without the Waters of Briah and the Air of Yetzirah. So the Disks stand for the material world, the human body, the 'animal soul' that rules a far bigger part of our being than we usually like to admit. It often can be watched that the Disks are disregarded, looked upon as 'material only', with Assiah taken as profane and Nefesh as 'primitive'. But where would be the beauty of a lily without the earth in which it grows? What is a lily, anyway? On the elemental plane Disks go well with Cups and Wands but don't harmonize with Swords. In most other decks the Disks are called 'Pentacles' or 'Coins', referring to their material meaning. Crowley preferred the name 'Disks', most likely to stress the relation to the earth (in old times the earth was taken as a disk). [Source: Raven's Tarot Site]
