AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here is a unique timing method that uses reasonably expected and objectively determined target dates to zero in on the most likely span of time from the date of the reading to the proposed time of completion. The aim is to partially offset some of the exaggeration that can occur with most methods … Continue reading Tarot Timing By Number and Rank
Dream Analysis
Tarot Reading as Truthful Fiction
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I've just encountered the "five species of dream" derived from the Oneirocritica of 3rd-Century (CE) Graeco-Roman soothsayer (professional dream interpreter) Artemidorus, whose work was admired by Sigmund Freud. I've listed them below, but only the first three are germane to this essay. Veridical Kinds (Coinciding with reality)Somnium: Truths veiled in allegorical fiction.Visio: Direct, … Continue reading Tarot Reading as Truthful Fiction
Sympathetic Magic: The Secular Side of Spellworking
AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's fascinating how dreams can unearth old memories that are still germane to present conditions, figuratively "turning over rocks to see what crawls out from underneath." Last night in one such nocturnal interlude I was discussing with an unknown savant the assumption that object-oriented magic is best performed with "power items" that hold … Continue reading Sympathetic Magic: The Secular Side of Spellworking
“How Far Is Heaven?”
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Last night I had a vivid dream in which I was a neophyte "ghost whisperer" tasked with assisting a community of stranded spirits. I entered a small garden with a rather glum male guide who promptly disappeared and left me on my own. The garden was furnished with low stone tables and benches … Continue reading “How Far Is Heaven?”
“Charging” the Reader and the Reading
In The Way of Tarot, Alejandro Jodorowsky floats the idea of "charging" the Major Arcana cards with personal significance instead of relying on the memorization of traditional keywords, in effect turning them into talismans imbued with the power of our own subjective vision. The implication is that conventional teaching methods based on the tarot literature … Continue reading “Charging” the Reader and the Reading
The “Morpheus Effect” Dream Message Example Reading
I took the opportunity to use the fascinating dream I posted recently to test the subject spread; most of my dreams have been too inconsequential to serve that purpose. The deck here is Ciro Marchetti's Tarot of Dreams, an ideal vehicle for this subject. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2020/07/11/a-curious-contact/ A images copyright U.S Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT … Continue reading The “Morpheus Effect” Dream Message Example Reading
A Curious Contact
I very seldom have memorable dreams that stay with me long after waking, but the following is a noteworthy exception. Although I'm of divided mind on the existence of “spirit guides,” this certainly seemed to represent that kind of contact. It's something I should probably pursue more purposefully, since the last time I had such … Continue reading A Curious Contact
The “Morpheus Effect” Dream Message Spread
I sometimes encounter interest in a dream-analysis spread but never created one specifically for that purpose. However, the effect of dreams on waking life might be considered similar to the impact of past-life experiences on present-life circumstances, and I do have a couple of those. I tweaked one to make it work for dream scenarios. … Continue reading The “Morpheus Effect” Dream Message Spread
No Thanks, I’ll Pass
On dream analysis, that is. Last night I slept so soundly that I had an almost unbroken series of anxiety dreams, for no apparent reason. (The t-shirt lies!) These were so entertaining that I had to write them down and share them. First I was being pursued by a relentless but incompetent zombie who couldn't … Continue reading No Thanks, I’ll Pass
