WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.079 Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Deb. 2 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.879 Bowen and I'm Samantha Fay. 3 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.920 We're so excited that you have joined us this week. 4 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.960 We thought this would be a perfect time to have 5 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.799 a discussion about to row and the holidays. And I 6 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.600 know that that might seem a little stretched to you, 7 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.079 but bear with us. Sit back, make a cup of tea. 8 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:50.320 Pretend you're sitting around a Victorian fire, and here we go. Ready, Savannah, 9 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.439 I'm ready, Okay. So let's set the stage for this 10 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.759 discussion about to row and the new year by traveling 11 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.920 back to the Victorian era in England, maybe even a 12 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.799 bit earlier. Imagine that you're in a parlor with three 13 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:13.239 young women seated before a blazing fire while snow falls 14 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.239 steadily in the dark sky outside. Divination of many sorts 15 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.719 was all the rage during the Victorian era, particularly in winter. 16 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.159 Perhaps it was the darkness, the darkest time of the year, 17 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.680 that called forth the practice of telling ghost stories and 18 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.840 engaging in divination during the winter solstice, Christmas, and New 19 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.760 Year's holidays. Perhaps it was the weather, cold, rain and 20 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.680 snow that forced families to huddle together before the fire, 21 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.840 seeing shapes rise in the flames. Perhaps it was boredom 22 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.239 all those people gathered inside for the holiday with nothing 23 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.239 left to talk about. Perhaps it was hopefulness about good 24 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.079 fortune coming in the new year. Perhaps it was all 25 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.120 of these and one more factor that caused a rise 26 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.520 in the practice of telling ghost stories and engaging in 27 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.639 divination during the winter holidays. In the Victorian era, Charles 28 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:21.520 Dickens published a Christmas Carol on December nineteenth, eighteen forty three, 29 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.919 and with that the best seller of its day. A 30 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.000 tradition of focusing on the occult during the winter holidays 31 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:34.639 was the rage in affluent households in Britain. Not only 32 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.240 were ghost stories told, but many ways of divining the 33 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:45.120 future were practiced, particularly by young women seeking love and husbands. Now, 34 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.560 I'm not sure that thereu was the leading detonation tool 35 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.360 among the British wealthy in the Victorian era, but therow 36 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:57.199 certainly was gaining popularity in more esoteric circles at that time. 37 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:03.120 I can attest that tureau is certainly a divination tool 38 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.199 used by many the world over. As the season shifts 39 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.400 towards solstice and the calendar heralds a new year on 40 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:16.039 January first, so let's take a deep dive into what 41 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.240 Tureau may offer these three women. We're going to focus 42 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.400 on three cards, which by the way, are really often 43 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.639 more rightly called keys that might have been of interest 44 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.360 to Victorian era folks gathered around the hearth on a 45 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.960 cold winner's night, And let's take a deep dive into 46 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.280 the symbolism of these cards. Samantha, you want to share 47 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.199 with us what Carl Young had to say about that. 48 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.840 Yeah, he really looked a lot into the symbolism on 49 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.120 the Turot cards, and a lot of people believe he 50 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:52.159 derives some of his ideas for the universal archetypes from 51 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.599 the taruro cards. He believed the symbols on the cards 52 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.439 presented a rhythm of negative and positive, loss and gain, 53 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.919 dark and light. It's beginning, he said. It's characterized by 54 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.840 ones getting stuck in a blind alley or in some 55 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:12.199 impossible situation, and its goal, broadly speaking, is illumination or 56 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.040 higher consciousness. This symbolic process of illumination in the Touau, 57 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.319 of course, begins with the fool. Weight describes the fool 58 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.600 as the spirit in search of experience, who's in the 59 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.879 impossible situation of being just about to plunge off a 60 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.279 cliff or take a beautiful leap of faith, and it 61 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.720 ends with the world, which Weight described as the perfection 62 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.319 and the end of the cosmos, the secret within it, 63 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.680 the rapture of the universe when it understands itself. Where 64 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.560 do you fall in the trajectory of this journey at 65 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.680 this stage of your life? I think that's always an 66 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.240 interesting question to think about, you know how, dev when 67 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.279 you Teachterurou, you always tell your students to lay out 68 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.800 the major arcana and look at it as a journey 69 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.399 through your life. You starting out as the fool, whether 70 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.160 you young sees that as an impossible situation about to 71 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.800 fall off a cliff, I always see the fool as 72 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.160 full of wonder and hope and optimism, and of course 73 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.920 it ends with the world card of fulfillment. I think 74 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.759 it's a good thing to kind of ponder as we 75 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.720 wrap up the year, where do you fall on that 76 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.240 journey from the fool to the world. 77 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.600 Absolutely, and the folks who have been enrolled in the 78 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.160 Fool's journey, of course the Fool's Calling course, have been 79 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.360 taught that exactly what you're saying is that we are 80 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.160 the fool. We are on that life's journey and we 81 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.680 travel and forward and we learn and we grow, we 82 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.399 have setbacks. I mean, it really is the mirror for 83 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.519 one's life journey. If you look at the journey through 84 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.519 the major arcana and the minor arkana suits our support 85 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.920 information for what one needs to learn in a journey. 86 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.600 So I have a question for you. I read when 87 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.759 I was doing an overview of some notes for today's 88 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.160 show that we and Pamela had a disagreement about where 89 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.600 to please the fool card. 90 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.680 Oh, there were lots of disagreements not only between Weight 91 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:18.120 and Pamela, but between other theorists as well, about placements 92 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.720 of several cards. The fool is certainly one. Another is 93 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.160 the strength key where and then I'm getting totally off 94 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.879 topic here, but for a minute, but the strength key 95 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.399 is key eight, but there was some discussion that it 96 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.000 should be switched with key eleven, which is the Justice key, 97 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.160 And that controversy between those two keys went on and 98 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.040 on and on for a long time before it was 99 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:46.839 finally settled in the Weight Rider deck that Strength would 100 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.920 be eight and Justice would be eleven, which makes sense 101 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.040 because eleven is also two, and that's about balance and 102 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.839 fairness and all those numerological components connected to that. 103 00:06:58.439 --> 00:06:59.480 And remember in that. 104 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.199 Key, the justice key, Lady Justice is there with a 105 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.920 sword in one hand, the sword of justice, and the 106 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.240 scales of balance and justice in the other. 107 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.319 So, yeah, that debate always made sense to me. But 108 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.839 the full debate between those two, I think it was 109 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.920 about not so much placing the full at the beginning. 110 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.680 I think it was more about the numerology. Should it 111 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.600 be the zero card or the one card? 112 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.360 Oh? Okay, well, that is indeed a controversy as well. Yeah, 113 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.319 the zero transcends numerology, which I think was what won 114 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.600 out in the end, obviously. 115 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.560 Yeah, and I agree with that one hundred percent. 116 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.560 Me too. Okay, so let's move on. Okay, So let's 117 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.600 let's get back to our Victorian parlor. So, perhaps you 118 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.680 and these young women are wondering about love or money, 119 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.680 health careers. And since young women back in our Victorian 120 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:58.639 wintry story practiced divination for questions regarding love and marriage, 121 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.800 let's start with the burning question one of these women has, 122 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:08.079 will I be loved and married you? The reader shuffle 123 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:12.319 the deck and the lover's key appears. Let's discuss that 124 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:18.199 key as we might view it intoday's world. At first glance, 125 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.920 this key, and we're working here as we're talking, by 126 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:25.240 the way out of the traditional weight rider Smith deck. 127 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.000 So at first glance, the Lover's Key is very straightforward. 128 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.720 There's a man and a woman standing naked before two 129 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.919 very different trees and what we might take to be 130 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.360 the garden of Eden. The man stands before a tree 131 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:46.480 whose twelve leaves are flames, not leaves, but flames, representing 132 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.000 the twelve signs of the zodiac. The woman stands before 133 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.120 the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It spowls 134 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:57.320 laden with fruit, and a serpent slithering down its trunk. 135 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.759 Above them is Archangel, the angel of healing. You might 136 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.360 consider that this key is both validation that a relationship 137 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.039 is in the offing and a cautionary tale to be 138 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.480 careful in the blissfulness of the garden. But wait, when 139 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:21.399 studying to Row, there is always more, always a deeper meaning, 140 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.240 and that's what makes to Row such an amazingly rich 141 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:30.320 divination tool. The Lover's Key not only represents male and 142 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.320 female energy, and we'll come back and talk a lot 143 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.000 more about that in a minute, but it representents the 144 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.440 notion of polar energies, often seen as a key of 145 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.480 romantic relationships. This key also sometimes is said to depict 146 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:50.279 humanity's fall from grace. However, the symbolic connection between the 147 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.919 snake and the feminine is far older than its connection 148 00:09:55.080 --> 00:10:00.000 to Judaism and the Garden of Eden. The relationship betwe 149 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.559 hearkens back to a time when the snake was sacred 150 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:08.559 to the goddess in matriarchal goddess worshiping societies, many of 151 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:13.919 which were there in that Mesopotamian area of the globe. 152 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.759 So the snake represents a transmutation of being. Rather than 153 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:24.399 representing evil, the snake represents our ability to shed what 154 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.639 no longer serves us, and our ability to transform ourself 155 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.960 and learn and grow and become new. Another aspect of 156 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.200 this card is the notion of an internal balance of 157 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:44.840 self of energies, a continuum of positive emotions towards oneself 158 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.320 and the whole universe. So, rather than thinking in polarities 159 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:54.120 of masculine feminine, I think in terms of a continuum. 160 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.039 This is indicated by the willingness of the figures to 161 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.320 be exposed physically, and by connection to the astrology and 162 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.840 to the concept of the knowledge of good and evil. 163 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.320 Yeah. The Lover's card asks us to look at the 164 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.679 union of not only two people, but also two aspects 165 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.039 of ourselves, which is why this card is often about choices. 166 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:23.120 The male aspect represents our intellect, reason, and conscious choices, 167 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.080 while the female symbolizes our connection to our intuition and 168 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:31.559 subconscious desires. The Lover's card reminds us of the power 169 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.279 of love and that as long as we focus on 170 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:38.279 love in all its forms and guises, we will ultimately 171 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.559 make the right choice. 172 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.519 And I think that's true. I think the Lover's card 173 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.480 invites us to look at love in so many different ways, 174 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.639 and it gives us a view of archetypes, those symbols 175 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.840 that are often available to us, to see a glimpse 176 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:57.320 of all of us. Call Young coin the term animus 177 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:03.200 for masculine and anima feminine to describe sets of traits 178 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.440 and symbols that he believe relates to all of us. 179 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.240 Young says that each of us carry within us qualities 180 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.159 of the other gender. Today, of course, I invite you 181 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.720 to think of those qualities as a part of all 182 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:21.480 of us on a continuum, rather than polar opposites. When 183 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.759 we find the balance of male and female energy within ourselves, 184 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:32.840 we find wholeness. According to some metaphysics, the female figure 185 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:37.080 in the key, representing the unconscious mind, stands before the 186 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.840 tree of knowledge of good and evil, and she has 187 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:44.159 an awareness of both the five human senses and those 188 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:50.120 metaphysical senses beyond. The male figure, representing the conscious mind, 189 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:55.120 stands before the leafless tree bearing the twelve flames of 190 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:59.320 the twelve signs of the zodiac, indicating an awareness of 191 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:05.320 cosmic connections beyond our human comprehension. And the nakedness of 192 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.399 the figures indicates there is nothing to hide, and that 193 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.159 harmony in life depends on a balance of the unconscious 194 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.399 and conscious mind. But let's not forget the angel o 195 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:23.759 angel Raphael offers above the figures in the clouds. Rafael 196 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.399 is the angel of Air whose benediction is poured down 197 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:32.200 on us all. In the Gudeo Christian tradition, Rafael is 198 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.879 the archangel of healing. Might it be that when we 199 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.120 find a balance of energies in ourselves, that we honor 200 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.039 our connection to the cosmos and it's spinning cycles, and 201 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:51.240 give ourselves permission to transmute our very being into something 202 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:57.200 new we are indeed healed. Note that the man is 203 00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.919 looking at the woman while she looks at the age, 204 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.399 and the angel looks down on them both. This triangle 205 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.320 reminds us that, no matter how much we think, we 206 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.279 must also feel deeply in order to connect to the 207 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:19.279 conscious mind, the cosmic posteousness. One more thing, though, it's 208 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.200 important to look at as we're looking at this key, 209 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.600 and that is that a mountain rises between the figures 210 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:30.039 in the background, and it has several possible meanings. The 211 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:34.840 most common is that the mountain represents fruitfulness. In my research, 212 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.440 I've come to believe that the mountain represents obstacles that 213 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.759 the couple has put aside for now but may need 214 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.559 to face later. Who among us has not had cycles 215 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.240 in relationships that we've needed to face. Let's look at 216 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.039 the colors in the key too. That bright sun and 217 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:57.360 electric blue sky indicates so much joy on the key, 218 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.159 Raphael's red wings and the flaming leaves of his crown, 219 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.759 The red fruit and the flaming leaves on the trees, 220 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:10.600 and the red slash orange of the mountains indicate passion 221 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:14.960 and action. Lots of red on this card, the green 222 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.039 on Rafael's crown on the tree behind the woman, on 223 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:23.600 the snake, and on the grass indicate growth and change, 224 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.200 and the gray of Rafael's gown and the clouds beneath 225 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.960 him indicate that there will always be the unknown that 226 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.320 we may never know. The Lover's key is the sixth 227 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:44.600 key in the major Arcana, a number associated with home relationships, healing, 228 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:49.399 and harmony. What better number could the lovers key be 229 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.440 than sick? You want to add to that, Samantha, I do. 230 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.000 Can you hear the noise behind me? 231 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:55.679 No? I can't? 232 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.440 Oh, thank God? Okay, yeah. So the Lover's card asks 233 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.120 us to focus on the choices we're making for ourselves. 234 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.080 Do our choices reflect our true desires that arise from 235 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.320 our intuition and subconscious or are we making choices rooted 236 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.559 in other people's expectations of us or fear of being 237 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.559 alone and hurt? The Lover's card reminds us that the 238 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.919 transformative power of love will always lead us in the 239 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.279 right direction if we first start with loving and healing ourselves. 240 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.639 I thought it is so true. And again, one of 241 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.120 the things that I think is so incredibly wonderful about 242 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.639 to Row is that the layers of information and learning 243 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.279 really never stop and it's so much fun. So while 244 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.080 we've put a lot of information out there about this 245 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.240 particular card to you, what we've suggested here is that 246 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.039 you need to have all of this stored in your 247 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.519 memory when you're doing a reading, and you can pull 248 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.960 it all up in an instant. Now, I know that 249 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.360 sounds daunting, but it's really not, because you certainly don't 250 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.879 have to a reading share all of this information in 251 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.079 details and symbology with the person for whom you're reading. 252 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.440 Sometimes the queert wants to hear all of this and 253 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:16.119 sometimes not. For example, our impatient young Victorian woman says, enough, 254 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.960 just tell me if my beloved awaits me and you 255 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:26.000 the wise interpreter of the keys responds, it appears so, 256 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.319 But you must first also love yourself and the world 257 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.000 around you. You attract what you radiate. 258 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.440 That is so beautiful and so true, and I think 259 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.119 it's important when giving a reading to give a little 260 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.440 bit of the foundation of the card and the numerology 261 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.039 and what the symbols mean before just jumping right to 262 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.359 the message, or they're not going to hear how it 263 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:49.200 relates to them. 264 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.279 No, that's true, and particularly if you're doing a true 265 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.720 reading with a Celtic cross spread. You need to look 266 00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.480 at thet each card on the table in front of 267 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.119 you in relationship and context to the keys around it. 268 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.359 So that's fun to figure all of that outsy putting 269 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.160 a puzzle together. 270 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.319 Well before we get to the next card on this 271 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.680 Victorian Ladies reading table, let's take a quick break and 272 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:22.960 we'll be right back.

So now we're in the minor 310 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:43.359 Arcanas and the Suit of Pentacles. And another question that 311 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:46.759 burns on the lips of our Victorian friends seated around 312 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:51.000 the heart is a question of money at stability? Will 313 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:55.039 I be wealthy or at least comfortable? They ask? So you, 314 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.839 the reader, close your eyes, ask for guidance, shuffle the deck, 315 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.440 and randomly pull the Free of Pentacles. I love this card. 316 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.640 It's one of my favorite cards in the deck. The 317 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.240 Three of Pentacles depicts a monk and a nun watching 318 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:16.440 a stonemation finish his masterful work on a medieval cathedral archway, 319 00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:20.799 which is topped by three pentacles. Much in this key 320 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.759 is about numerology and needs to be considered in your answer, 321 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:28.599 and will address numerology in a moment. And golly, could 322 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.240 I go off on a tangent about watching the beautiful 323 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.240 opening of Notre Dame. So let's talk about Pentacles as 324 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:40.359 a suit first. It is the suit of groundedness, of stability, 325 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.720 of security, and is sometimes called the suit of coins, 326 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.799 so it is the suit of our relationship to money 327 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.559 and finances. Keep in mind that the cost of building 328 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.839 the great cathedrals was and of course still is tremendous. 329 00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:59.720 Just look at what has gone into the amount of 330 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.759 money to reconstruct Notre Dame. But of course there's more 331 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.839 to coins than meet the eye. So much of the 332 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.119 building of the great cathedrals in the Middle Ages was 333 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.279 based on sacred geometry. Oh, I cannot urge you enough 334 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.960 to read Ken Filette's amazing book The Pillars of the Earth, 335 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.799 my all time favorite. Is it? 336 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.559 Really it really is. I've read it three or four times. 337 00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:26.920 I love that book, and I have watched several interviews 338 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:31.079 with him on YouTube. And what a fascinating man he is. 339 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:32.640 And he has a new book out. 340 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:33.720 I know he does. 341 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:35.880 I know. We gotta check it out, all right, I digress, 342 00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:36.599 Go ahead. 343 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.799 Okay, all right, So read Ken Filette's book, The Pillars 344 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:44.039 of the Earth. Okay. The Three of Pentacles is one 345 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.759 of Theo's hallmark keys about sacred geometry. Three is the 346 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.559 number of balance and completion. So it is no accident 347 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.400 that the key is about building a cathedral and its 348 00:22:55.480 --> 00:23:00.559 number is three. Notice the pentacles themselves of the word 349 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.720 penta is from the Greek and it means five. The 350 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.599 five points on the pentacles represent the four directions and 351 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.759 four elements eastern, air, south and fire, west and water, 352 00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:17.680 north and earth, and the fifth point represents spirit or 353 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.920 all that is. And an interesting note is that these 354 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.599 pentacles with their five sides each adds up to the 355 00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:29.480 number fifteen, which when reduced is six, and we're back 356 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:35.799 to six, the number of relationships and home and stability. So, Samantha, 357 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.319 you have a perspective on what the three appentacles means 358 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.240 in a reading. Tell us your thoughts on that. 359 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:47.119 Yeah. To me, this card always represents success coming from teamwork, collaboration, 360 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.559 and a group working together. So I always see the 361 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:53.720 three pentacles as a card of encouragement, gently prodding you 362 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.519 to go after your dream. It often comes up if 363 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:01.359 someone's like thinking about starting a side business, an entrepreneurship thing, 364 00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:03.880 or they're wondering if they can make money from their 365 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.240 writing or their art or their music. I always see 366 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:10.640 the man and the woman as benefactors, kind of encouraging 367 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.160 the creative person in the reading to keep going on, 368 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.920 to keep building three is also the number of reaching 369 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.799 out to others. You know. Numerology, the number three is 370 00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:26.240 the card of communication, connection, and creativity. So often this 371 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:28.960 card indicates a need to enlist help and getting your 372 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.559 goal off to a good start. You might have to 373 00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:35.599 team up, collab network. The three pentacles also points to 374 00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:38.720 a need to start to carefully plan the steps needed 375 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:42.039 to accomplish your goal. This card assures you that you've 376 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.839 got the right idea and now it's time to start 377 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.759 implementing steps needed to make this goal or dream become 378 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.079 a reality. It can also signify that you've had an 379 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.640 Aha moment or will have an inspirational idea and are 380 00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:57.599 finally ready to take action on it. So, for me, 381 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:02.440 keywords for this card are apprentice, student, didn't mentor group efforts, 382 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:04.079 all that good stuff. 383 00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:07.960 And while I don't disagree with you, I would also 384 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:12.000 invite folks to think of three in terms of a trinity, 385 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:18.200 a trilogy again within oneself, mother, maiden, chron father, son, 386 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:23.359 holy ghost, mind, body, spirit. Those are other aspects of 387 00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:27.319 the number three that I think are important. And while 388 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.519 I see your point here about being an apprentice, for 389 00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:36.039 perhaps working your way in connection with other people to 390 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.920 a goal, I also see it as you already carry 391 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:45.279 within you the qualities you need to achieve that goal, 392 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.319 as long as you stay yourself within balance and connected 393 00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.440 to the sacredness of the work you're doing here on earth. 394 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.079 No, I totally agree with that. I have a funny 395 00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.119 story to tell about the number three. In my rock 396 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.839 your numbers. I always try to give a little background 397 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:05.640 on what the numbers mean in your birth date, and 398 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.759 Pythagoras always said that the number three was a number 399 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:13.480 of creativity because he said, the number one marries the 400 00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:17.680 number two and together they create the number three. And 401 00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:21.279
