Suggestions for Exercises – Tarot Lesson 12

Exercise 12.1 – Arcana Cards in the Celtic Cross

Layout One: All cards are minor except the outcome (Position 10). This situation is a temporary personal drama, but its impact will be powerful and significant in some way. (See Jill’s first reading.)

Layout Two: The only major arcana card is in the Past (Position 4). The circumstances of the moment are the result of some major event from the past, or what was once of major significance is now fading.

Dechtere

by Dr Anthony E. Smart

 
The mother of Cuchulainn. There are a number of versions of his birth, of which two follow: one, Dechtere accidentally swallowed a mayfly while drinking a cup of wine, became pregnant from this event, and bore Cuchulainn; two, She was impregnated by the god Lugh with his own soul, and vomited him into life as Cuchulainn, thereby remaining a virgin.

Atea

by Dr Anthony E. Smart

 
A Polynesian primeval god, who divided in two. So he became the god Rangi and the goddess Papa; the parents of all the other gods.
In the myths of Tahuata (the Marquesas), Atea (“Space”) emerged one morning from Chaos (see: Tanaoa).

Shamanic Consciousness

by Amber Wolfe

 
To understand the sacred, other world journey of the shaman , it is necessary to first understand shamanic consciousness. To begin with, consciousness is usually divided into two primary types:
The focused, waking consciousness in which we are alert and aware of our surroundings.
The unfocused, non-waking consciousness in which we are either dreaming or unconscious of our surroundings.

Dieva deli

by Aldis Putelis

 
The sons of the supreme god Dievs and the suitors of Saules meitas. They are described as working in the household of their father. Their number is not clear – there are mostly two of them, sometimes three, sometimes no number is indicated, thus leaving just the concept. There is also a tendency to refer to some deities as Dieva deli (such as Janis and Jumis), because this is not a stable phenomenon although there are texts attributing this name especially to Janis.
