La Maison de Dieu - The Tower - Arcana Major XVI

The House Of God

The Tower (or The House Of God) is a tall and imposing building, with golden battlement and that proudly runs in a cloudless sky.

This building was destroyed by a lightning. Two persons are falling from the tower; according to some people, they are the architects of the tower.

This card represents our presumptions.

The Tower reminds us that having too much ambition, being too materialistic led to the disaster, as these "defects" impede our ability to listen to common sense.

This tarot card also tells us that we must not be complacent about flattery.

It also reminds us that we must remain faithful.

The flames that surround this building under demolition represent the psychic, spiritual and material worlds.

Le Diable - The Devil - Arcana Major XV

This card is represented by a character in a frightening ugliness.

As the angel of Temperance, the Devil has wings but, in addition, he is provided with horns, female breasts, forked legs and the lower part of his body is hairy.

It is a creature made out of a blend of a man, a woman, a goat and a bat.

The pedestal under the Devil's feet is the symbol of the altar of Sabbat. Two monsters (fauna) are surrounding the Devil.

The Devil is the enemy of humans and only wants to make them his slaves.

This Tarot card symbolizes the powers terrestrial unlike angels that symbolize the Light of God.

It is up to humans not to sell their soul to the Devil.

I also spent some time - this weekend - on creating some pictures with examples that will help you to understand how these plays work.

In the meantime, I invite you to watch the first slideshow.

La Tempérance - Temperance - Major Arcana XIIII

Temperance is a very positive tarot card even even though it seems to represent patience.

This Tarot de Marseilles major arcana is the representation of a winged woman, a female angel.

She wears a long red and blue, belted gold dress but on some other card plays, it may be only red. On her forehead, a gold star. The line of her wings is gold as well.

The angel is decanting the liquid from an amphora (the reason) into another one (sensitivity).

The decor of this tarot card appears to be rustic, which adds to the serene aspect of this card.

Temperance is an allegory of magnetic healing, physical and mental energies.

Basic significance:

Righ position: patience, serenity and harmony, friendship, sympathy, communication, therapeutic magnetism, sociability.

Reversed position: disorder, impatience, apathy, uncertainty, lack of contact.

Example:

Temperance placed on the right of The Lovers means a perfect union.

When The Magician is its neighbour, this arcana major represents friendship.

The force allied to the Temperance represent positive physical energy.

Simulation:

I applied for a new job and I would like to know if I am going to receive a answer.

Four cards:

On the right: The World; which means that I was able to be under consideration or that my candidacy has drawn attention;

On the left: Justice; which informs that the situation is currently blocked (it's the holiday season);

At the top: The Hanged Man (me and my question);

At the bottom: Temperance, which reassures me in making me aware that I will receive news very quickly.

Synthesis: Wheel of Fortune; which made me more confident that I wil
