Your determination will make it happen.With 3 of the 4 cardinal virtues represented I attribute Prudence/Wisdom to the Priestess, the cards are encouraging you to mind your morals as you go about your diving practice. Avoid ANY temptation to go the charlatan route for quick cash! The Priestess is watching! Judith – I’ve never liked the US Games version of the Oswald Wirth deck (just my opinion). A separate Minor Arcana was added (Wirth did not design any Minors).

Neither Wirth’s first 1889 version of the cards nor the 1926 re-design by Wirth with the beautiful art-nouveau borders was the basis. However, many other decks have incorporated Wirth-elements.

Wirth’s deck was one of the earliest, non-Egyptianized, specifically-occult decks published.Lo Scarabeo (available through Llewellyn) has produced its own version of the art-nouveau Wirth deck with Stefano Palumbo as the artist. He did a good job, if somewhat over-blown. However, the artist’s lack of occult training and knowledge of Wirth’s text shows up in his being unaware of the significance of the various stages of the red flower opening as it appears on different cards (for one example): Palumbo’s flower in the Magician, is in full-bloom if not past its prime, whereas it should be only a bud.Interestingly, Lo Scarabeo combined Wirth’s Majors with an intriguingly different Minor Arcana (one of my favorites) by Eudes Picard (the basis of El Gran Tarot Esoterico).

While these Minors still need to be produced in their original, exceedingly fine line-art, Palumbo’s version is essentially true to the original. Bonita & rachelcat –Wonderful interpretations.

Wirth, too, points out how the Moon’s fantasy and imagination need to be reigned in (Strength) by the Emperor’s “wise and realistic ponderings.” He also sees the Emperor as the will to (rigorously) develop one’s own views rather than parroting those of others (trusting one’s own authority and “mastering” one’s imagination). About the Moon he says: “the imagination is dangerous if it is not held in check and disciplined; left to itself it gives into whims and wanders as it pleases.”“The High Priestess’s arbitration reconciles the flight of the imagination and the demands of calm and methodical reasoning. The Diviner becomes initiated into the mysteries by penetrating into the Temple of the Priestess. and becomes convinced of the sacred nature of divination.” This card decrees that “the call is only answered if the diviner is worthy of the priestly function that he is carrying out.” Furthermore, “he must let the mysterious divinity speak through him.”In Temperance, Wirth feels that the querent finds in the diviner a serene and calm spirit “who is neither stirred nor troubled by any over-exhilaration,” but exhibits “a detachment which rises above the human misery and overcomes contingencies. Who understands and never condemns.” Also, “Temperance, at which the diviner must aim, forbids him all artificial excitement no coffee, drugs; wine in moderation.” Very much like “minding your morals,” as rachelcat, says. In this example at least, Wirth seems to see this fourth position as a kind of “teaching” of the qualities most needed.I find it interesting that, in the GD system (not Wirth’s), there are not only two Virtues, but also three Fire cards: Emperor-Aries, Strength-Leo, and Temperance-Sagittarius.

The Jungian Function for these is Intuition. Both the High Priestess-Moon and Moon-Pisces would partake of Jung’s Feeling Function.

I might see the High Priestess card as suggesting that of primary importance is the ability to ask the right question and be open and receptive to the information/answers that want to come through the reading. Sometimes, this can be very different from what the querent has asked. Sometimes, this can be the case of not asking what you’re not ready to hear. But it is up to the reader to have the mastery and intuition to « hear » what the right and true question is, be it within what the querent has asked/said leading into the reading, or what the reading itself is trying to bring through. HiC –Yes, the receptivity of the HP seems really important. She seems more about inner knowing, whereas Temperance is about how the Diviner appears in the outer world.I think it’s very important that the three center cards all indicate the balancing or integration of opposites (HP, Strength, Temperance).

To me this says that although the Moon supposedly works “against” divination, that, in this case it needs to be integrated appropriately. The High Priestess is especially aware of the need to balance reason and imagination. Hi, Mary.Here is what I seeSTRENGTH: In divining, what is of prime importance is self-control.

Everything depends on it because in reading, the ego must be filtered out of the equation so that the reader can be a conduit that runs free and clear.EMPEROR: What is wise for a reader is to have in place a set of standards that will situate her readings in a context of responsibility and duty that implies caring focus on the querent.MOON: Paradoxically, while the reader might consult the Moon for intuition and/or psychic information, she must avoid getting lost wandering the lunar scape. Get the information, but bring it back. The Emperor’s highway, squarely and efficiently laid out, will guide her safely.PRIESTESS: As the Mistress of the Moon, the Priestess demonstrates the process refined to a further degree. She does not even go “wandering”, but remains decorously at her station and draws the Moon down to her.TEMPERANCE gives us a picture of the balance implied in all of the above, delicately and perfectly maintained, when the ego is put to the side so the channels are clear, when focus is trained on the querent, and when intuitive and/or psychic communications inform but do not unseat.Thank you,David M (Omega 2009). Hello everyone I love all the insightful comments about the reading. What came to mind about the Emperor (What is wise to do) was that it is important to express the reading to the client in a practical way, so that they can keep their feet on the ground and apply the information to their daily lives.

The Moon (what is opposing) indicated to me it is especially important to be aware of whether I’m reading intuitively or using ‘wishful thinking’ Discerning between the two is important. The Moon also represents to me ‘something hidden, perhaps something you might feel uncomfortable in expressing to the client. The client may or may not be ready to hear it.

The High Priestess (one who helps to clalrify). The HP is truthful in a compassionate empathetic way. So empathy and honesty is important. Temperance (a style to be aimed for). Flexibility here is what is to be aimed for.

In other words adjust the reading according to the type of reading the client would like, practical, spiritual etc.) maintaining your own authenticity.Strength (what is of prime importance). Strength is needed to be able to make it clear to the client what type of reading you do or dont do. Strength gives the reader the ability to be kind, compassionate and not ego focussed. Strength gives the reader ability to be honest, open, compassionate and patient.Thank you for reading my comments. Hi Mary,This is my favorite spread for reading with the TdM. It’s as ubiquitous in French LWB’s and how-to-read-tarot books as the Celtic Cross is in American books. But this is the first time I’ve seen it described as two lawyers advocating in front of a judge.

Seeing it that way gives a lot of clarity to the spread positions.I turn the continental reading style on its head and read with just the minor arcana of the TdM. When I add up the sum of all the cards, I pull the corresponding major arcana as the theme of the reading.The other day I invented another variation of the spread I call “Ask Oswald”. I separate out the court cards and pull one at random for the “judge” position (Oswald Wirth’s alter-ego). Then I take into consideration the direction the court figure is looking and elemental dignities for determining which side of the argument the judge is favoring.This morning I asked Oswald if it’s a good idea for me to stretch my budget to the limit by traveling from the west coast to Omega. He gave me a resounding “yes”, that it will be a transformative experience.See you in June!Sherryl. The two divine entities, show us the forces through which the Diviner must navigate.

These divine entities are Temperance from above, and High Priestess from below. (Think astrology where south, midheaven, is above and north, nadir, is midnight). They both look upon the two opposing forces of Good (Emperor) and Evil (Moon) that surround the Diviner (Strength).and show the esoteric pathway of divination in mediating these forces. Temperance is the only card in the deck that is stronger than the Devil, and The High Priestess is the Guide through the Moon card. What are they telling us? What they are showing the Diviner is the way of divination, the path through the forces of Good and Evil.The High Priestess warns the Diviner to be ever-watchful of “utterances.” Be vigilant, for you sit at the threshold to the mysteries: the opposing forces of good and evil.

Higher truths cannot be conveyed to the outer world by word of mouth. The path of illumination is through the “Dark Night of the Soul.” It is the proverbial Night Sea Journey (cards 13 through 18) through the unconscious, of which the Moon card (18) is the final phase before reaching enlightenment (the Sun, card 19). The path is fraught with dangers for the querent as well as the Diviner.

Stillness and silence.especially of the mind.are the keys she offers to guide us on this path.Temperance is the archangel Michael who grabbed Satan by the ankle and threw him/her into hell. Temperance is stronger than Satan and the forces of evil. The Emperor, ever vigilant at his post, shows us the power of Good is in being both compassionate and ever vigilant to our moral responsibilities. He never leaves his post vacant because he knows the despot ever threatens to sit in his throne and usurp his/her powers. The traps are those of greed and lack of morals.We diviners are shown the pathway to wend our way through the forces of Good and Evil with which we must contend.

They speak to the Diviner both from above in the spiritual realm and below in the unconscious realm. They are the two most powerful archetypes of transformation because they both sit at the thresholds between good and evil.ever vigilantsilently showing the way.

My total was 38 from the 4 cards.I am confused about how to get the middle card.Do I take 38-22=16 and use the number 16 to determine what the middle card is supposed to be? Which is the Tower card,Example: A much superior way of obtaining a reduced synthesis, numerologically speaking, is to add all the cards and then subtract 22 from any sum over that. This is the only way to get a true range of card possibilities as your synthesis. (Thanks to Steve Mangan, aka Kwaw, who did the math!)My question was: What will the outcome of the courts decision be, for Jimmy.THE CARD ON THE LEFT: is affirmative:4 The Emperor: a set of standards that will fulfill responsibility and duty by the courts judge that implies caring focus on Jimmy.THE CARD ON THE RIGHT is negative (the opposing counsel)10 The Wheel: a cycle of events that led to the arrest. In this case, Jimmy will get a lucky break.THE CARD ABOVE is the judge:3 The Empress: a caregiver. Action begins.

The first step to a new beginning.(kind of irritating to me, since these are felony charges that seem to be not taken into consideration) but he also claims state citizenship.THE CARD BELOW is the “sentence,” result or solution is pronounced.15 The Devil: Drugs and addictions(which the arrest was made on two felony accounts of drugs: meth, cocaine)driving with expired tags, no insurance or drivers liscence, and a pipeTHE CENTER CARD: the Wheel of Fortune: Receiving a good opportunity that you will be able to take advantage of. A lucky break, good luck. Very favorable situation and cycle. Tie up loose ends and start new.(looks like he takes the plea bargain, pays some fines, does some classes and goes back to his life.).

Hi auberoraventhorn,It sounds like you are referring to the subtractive system for obtaining the Quintessence card that I learned from the tarotist Steve Mangan — which is to total the 4 cards, and then successively subtract 22 until you get a sum of 22 or less.In your question, those 4 cards total to 78.

So YES you would subtract 22 as many times as necessary, to get the sum to 22 or below. In this case, yes subtracting 22, 3 times to get to a sum of 12, Le Pendu. You would stop there.In the other system (theosophical addition) you would add the 7 and the 8 of the cards total and get 15, Le Diable. The question remains whether you would add 1 and 5 to get 6, L’Amoreux as your Quintessance, or would you leave it at 15? Steve’s method solves that conundrum, because you can easily and simply get any number between 0 and 22.Paul.
