7 Of WandsThis card represents doing the best you can in trying times. The card shows a young man in green and red with a staff on the top of a hill fighting against a number of opponents below. While the odds are 6 to 1, the man holds the high ground and may well come out on top if he is careful. This card speaks to the need for strategy but also points to the power of acting out of absolute need. Netzach means victory. When looking at that in terms of energy, this card could be considered a David vs. Goliath type card. The spiritual message is, no matter the odds against you, if you put you set aside the ego and act in harmony with the Divine then anything is possible. This is the flow state card. It's a message about the power in humility to overcome obstacles. In context of the path of action and energy, the Fool is going at it again. This time he's taking on 6 others. Cards 5-9 involve fighting but the roots are there in card 2. The men below cannot reach the man above but we can see in the hail of arrows in the 8 of Wands and the injured fearful man where things are going.

WorldThis card features angels at each of the corners of the card, a bough of greenery tied by red cloth in a great circle and a goddess within the circle with a golden crown, a purple sash and a candle that burns at both ends in each hand. The major arcana cards can be thought of as the Fool's journey and this is the end. In some sense it is unknowable because it represents the new paradigm. WHat will be after this life? What will be after humanity has run its course on earth? The point is, that things will be brought back to a place of harmony with the divine, no matter who much chaos and ruin has occurred. It's all going to end and it's all going to be fine and it's all going to end and then be fine. There is a peace or nearness to the Divine in identifying with the cycle itself rather than the steps in the cycle of creation and destruction. |

Page Of WandsThis card depicts a youthful man regarding a staff with green sprouts. He is dressed as a traveler. In the background are pyramids. He has a red feather in his cap and his clothes are covered in salamanders. The other characters that feature a red feather are the Fool, Death and the Sun. It appears to indicate the courage and power to overcome or ascend beyond the bounds of forms. Of the three cards that feature pyramids, the are the closest in this one. The page is really adminiring his staff, that which connects Heaven and Earth and he is standing quite near to an eternal life giving machine. This all hints at the fire of kundalini being the pathway to regeneration and life.
