WHAT IS TAROT MAGIC?
For many years, Tarot has portrayed an image of future prediction because of divination. No wonder. That has been the main purpose of Tarot cards. It was until the late eighteenth century that the symbolism on the cards earned a greater spiritual significance. This made it an essential part of the Western esoteric culture. Although the Tarot’s images have changed significantly, its primary use has remained fortune-telling.
There are other ways in which Tarot cards are useful. The cards can serve as essential tools for ritual magic. Although the use is crucial, their applications, in this case, have been ignored and overlooked even by the most famous twentieth-century ceremonial magicians. Despite this view, twentieth-century magicians consider the Tarot as a source of symbolism fit for contemplation or a tool of fortunetelling. Well, for a Tarot, there is more than meets the eye.
If you need to work a comprehensive and robust system of rituals, just seek a deck of Tarot cards. With that alone, you can build an astral temple, construct an altar, cast a spell working circle, and establish a triangle that will help you to realize your purpose maneuver the blind elemental energies of nature, talk with spirits and other people, extend aid, cleanse atmospheres and areas of devastating influences, make formidable charms, and carry out works of healing. With the powers, you can draw wealth, love, or triumph over your foes. Using the Tarot you can also achieve any goal you have set to attain through more robust and effective ways of ceremonial magic.
Besides its efficiency, the Tarot is easy to store. When you are done with your work, you will need to wrap the cards together and put your altar, temple, triangle, circle, and all the relevant tools into your pocket, set for the next mission. Tarot is simplistic and doesn’t require costly elements or hand-crafted accessories, no candles, no incense, no arcane languages, no oils, no expensive robes, or a distinctive place to work. All of these are possible without compromising the effectiveness of its powers. Everything falls in its appropriate place by the symbolism of the cards, concerning the secret accords for the Tarot established by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
The conventional Golden Dawn accords for the Tarot are employed throughout Tarot divination since they are the most universally appreciated and recognized. Various forms of correspondence exist but the bottom line remains that Tarot magic is easy to adapt while trying to suit any kind of occult correspondence. This feature forms part of its adaptability thus, the cards are adjustable and you can set them in any sought organization.
Usually, the astral realities of the ritual spell can be represented symbolically instead of using physical instruments. For instance, an astral circle can be allocated a body using a combination of Tarot cards quite efficiently as it is grounded by a circle outlined in chalk on the floor. Here, the circle in the mind of the magician is the actual working circle of the observance. However, in classical magic, it is set in the sort of a circle engraved, shaded, or rather marked on the ground, while in Tarot magic, it is fixed by using a grouping of cards that embraces the ritual circle in its collection of esoteric correspondences.
During the rites of Tarot magic, the magician enters one of the cards. That seems strange. For the Western esoteric culture, it is normal for the magician to reside within their body at the time the bigger part of the ritual work. For the magic of the East, that is not the case. The magicians operate with esoteric designs placed on the floor or the area that manifest in symbolic mode astral landscapes, astral temples, or whole planes of existing without physical existence. They propel themselves into these images by distinguishing themselves with a little token, which they lay within the plan, normally at its middle. As long as the symbol that represents their identity remains in the plan, they exist and will be self-aware in the astral being that the plan represents.
Since several sorts of Tarot decks are available, you will always have the options at your disposal. For any Tarot Deck you will choose for your rituals, you will need to employ them until you familiarize yourself with their symbolism. This way, the Tarot cards you will use will get their powers making it simpler for you to work with them. This is because the deck will be more factual on the astral level in the mind of the magician employing the cards. Minimal work is required each time by the magician to establish the cards on the astral level, creating energies useful for the actual magic work.
It is true that Tarot magic and/or practical magic are not everyone’s cup of tea. Still, even those who confine their use of the Tarot magic to only telling fortunes will like it. Thanks to its simplicity and versatility.
