Professional Divination Services

(Readings Are Currently: OPEN)

Divination is one of my very oldest and most thoroughly honed occult skills, having first taken up the art decades ago when I was a young child. The practice of divining goes back in my family to at least my great-great-grandmother, who was Pensylvania Dutch, though she most likely learned from her own family.  As such, it is under the tutelage of family that my skills were initially fostered.

In my capacity as a professional practitioner of the Craft, I offer a range of reading options using a number of divining methodologies, including Tarot Cards, Lemormand Cards, Oracle Cards, and Scrying Sessions. I also offer a combination reading using both Cards and Scrying.

Card Readings

I provide a gradient of spread options, in order to address a variety of questions and financial situations, including:

The Locus—1 Card for $9

The Dyad—2 Cards for $16

The Trine—3 Cards for $24

The Tetrad—4 Cards for $32

The Quint—5 Cards for $40

The Senary—6 Cards for $48

The Heptade—7 Cards for $56

The Ogdoad—8 Cards for $64

& The Moot—9 Cards for $72

Readings are carried out on the evening of the scheduled day, comprehensive notes are taken, and those notes are then synthesized into a report which is shared with the client on the following day via email (or other platform, if necesarry.)

Scrying Sessions

Using a basin of hand-gathered spring water, infused with a personally developed Oil of Empowerment and a mixture of other additives, I will enter a trance-state and watch the disturbances of the water's surface as they shift and meld into images, which I record and interpret, to share with the client on the following day via email (tumblr and discord are also viable options.) The rate for a scrying is $75.

Combination Scrying + Card Reading

A Scrying Session paired with 9 Card Spread (using whatever style of cards the querent chooses) for the sake of looking into a single question on behalf of the client. Each reading is carried out individually on the evening of a scheduled date, recorded in my notes, and then synthesized into a single report, which is shared with the client within 48 hours. The rate for a Combination Reading is $115.

Number 4 spiritual meaning

Numerology is the language of the universe. Numbers are not in a real sense numbers however portrayals of fundamental widespread regulations that oversee the universe. Man can never violate the heavenly regulations on the grounds that the guidelines, orders, and calculations of science won't ever change.

Behind each number are energy, recurrence, and vibration. Behind the exoteric comprehension of number 4 is the obscure importance of number 4. In the external structure, you can see number 4 is showed distinctively in different subjects like planet Uranus in crystal gazing, the Emperor in tarot, the Tetragrammaton, and the Tetrad guideline, and so on.

Nonetheless, in the internal embodiment, there is just a single otherworldly importance of number 4 on the grounds that "the garments might change yet the individual is something very similar."

In profound schools, number 4 addresses solidness, matter, structure, and the body. Four likewise represents 4 components, 4 cardinal focuses, and fourth aspect. The people who are brought into the world under number 4 energy are in a profound sense skilled to be a coordinator, chief, and developer.

It is critical to realize WHY number 4 vibration contains such attributes. Here, I will make sense of for you the otherworldly qualities of number 4 in view of the "obscure" laws of the universe.

Notes on the Tetractys: Vol. 1

I have promised to do some writing about the Tetractys, so here it goes.

The first time this symbol blipped onto my radar was in 2009, when I learned about the it via somebody else’s artwork. At that point I had studied a bit of Greek philosophy and a heap of that Hebrew-adjacent mysticism that modern occultists appear to have bet everything on.

There’s literally no end to the amount of information out there about all of my favorite subjects, just waiting to be learned! This is why it’s so daunting for beginners who want to connect to certain magickal traditions: you want to know your shit, but we’re talking about areas of study which are notoriously difficult to access, and in many cases have been selected against in the great evolutionary arms-race of education. And then there are the gatekeepers upon gatekeepers upon gatekeepers...

The internet is an amazing tool for educating oneself, but there are so many ways to use it, and not a lot of instructions (just endless corrections). It takes a dexterous and inquisitive mind to exercise its potential in any focused way — to know what there even is to search for in the first place, and then how to search for it, how to dig into the crevices you find between related subjects and mine them for additional information... which informs future searches, etc.

But we still have it so much easier than anyone who came before us! Reading about the ways in which knowledge was passed down from teacher to student, from generation to generation, during the times of Pythagoras and other Greek philosophers is just fascinating to me. How did they manage to keep the chain from breaking? 

Then you realize how many chains did break along the way. Those we have access to are just the ones which gained a critical mass of interest, or happened to be preserved, or managed to survive all the historical incidents that have wiped out massive amounts of history. 

We gradually realize that at virtually any point during its existence, a thing can be lost. Sometimes these things are lost on purpose, other times they slip through our fingers as we reach for other things. And then in some rare instances, a lost thing can be found again. So there’s often a continuity in a thing’s existence that isn’t evident in our historical record — which, from a distance, could probably be visualized as a string of lights blinking on and off again as various things (ideas, objects, people) are lost, forgotten, rediscovered, and then lost again, blipping across humankind’s awareness and then retreating, over and over across centuries.

Basically we humans are playing a giant “don’t let the balloon touch the floor” game with our own history, except with billions of people and balloons in play at once, and some of the players unfairly seem to be armed with pointy sticks. It’s an absurdly clumsy scenario, and no matter how well we try to play together... suffice to say, there will be casualties.

The Greeks knew this. They’d already seen it! Which is why some of the traditions you read about were so strict, or so eccentrically intense. These teachers knew their entire body of work could go up in smoke, literally anytime. In many cases they’d observed it firsthand. In some instances, they’d personally wielded the torches! Since the very dawn of technology, probably pre-dating language itself, humans have been engaged in informational warfare.

This is one way that teachers, inventors and explorers actually manage to change the course of history: by determining who can be trusted with emerging information. That’s why security and access remain central to conversations about technology to this very day. What is beneficial to keep secret, and what should be made available to the public? 

Some make these choices wisely, others choose unwisely, and everything we see around us is basically the grand result of all those choices.

Wait, wasn’t this supposed to be about the Tetractys? 

*bops balloon back toward ceiling*

There’s a reason why certain symbols and designs from antiquity remain in play today, thousands of years later. It’s the same reason that creators are constantly trying to create new ones, or in some cases just scooping up old symbols, dusting them off, remixing and repurposing them for a new mission.

Symbols and patterns are sticky. We like looking at them, thinking about them, playing with them. Remember how you did this as a child, over and over: encountering a new symbol, you would draw it, repeat it. As a product of embedding it in your own memory, you leave it where it may be found by someone else. As a technology, symbols are uniquely equipped for longevity in the human world.

The human eye and brain are linked in a way that’s predisposed to recognize patterns, and pattern recognition is key to learning (among many other things) mathematics.

Mathematics (which I’m terrible at, so don’t worry, this isn’t about to become a math blog) will always the key to understanding the reality we inherited, and to seeing its potential as we gradually fabricate a new one.

The Tetractys is both a symbol and a pattern, which makes it especially sticky and especially fun to play with. With very little explanation, its layers of meaning begin to unfold in the mind. It teases, it reveals, it obscures. The Tetractys nudges us new toward thresholds of awareness, echoing the cascading effect of reality’s formation described in the Tetractys itself.

As such, it remains its own best recommendation. Is it any wonder that Pythagoreans flipped their collective lids over it?

The author at Organelle writes:

“What [Pythagoras] was gave us is nothing like what it at first appears to be. This is why people were swearing by his name for having brought this simple diagram into the world of human experience: a toy which none could own, and anyone with a stick and some dirt could instantly play with. It requires no manufacture — it cannot not be stolen or co-opted, and ‘giving it away’ causes the giver and the gifted to become ‘exponentially more wealthy’ — in ongoing progressions.“

As early mathematicians fleshed out new concepts, and invented new symbols to represent their discoveries, they were basically just skipping stones further down the stream, packaging ideas in ways that other humans would be able to recognize and access and build upon. Sometimes this was done in full public view, but often they worked in secret, because their bodies of work (as well as their actual bodies) were vulnerable to being dismantled by anyone who found them threatening.

The reason I chose to begin writing about the Tetractys this way was to highlight that there are many different forms of information, many forms of teaching, many forms of learning. And, as we have finally proven, the world is also full of different kinds of human intelligence, capable of many different things. We’re slowly digging out from preconceptions imposed on us by minds that were overly concerned with ideals; any deviations from the ideal were considered to be of lesser value, selected against.

That’s one consequence of hierarchical religious thinking, and it’s not hard to see how even the Tetractys — with its depiction of reality cascading downward from a perfected “monad” state to an earthly “tetrad” — could end up appearing to confirm earlier humans’ preconceptions about what human perfection ought to look like, sound like, be like. Contemplating the pure language of mathematics, or seeking the pure spiritual experience, we crave to reform ourselves and our world to reflect this pursuit. 

Science and religion were conjoined for so long in our ancient history, it’s not surprising that notions conflating scientific purity and spiritual purity still turn up everywhere you look. We’re hooked on them! You see it a lot in New Age thought, and the desire to find confirmation of our spiritual beliefs in “natural” phenomena; the dreaded quest for “authenticy.”

I wanted to start by pointing out that I am not qualified to teach others in the formal sense. I have no accreditation. My academic pedigree is limited to... well, words written in a blog post, however thoughtfully I manage to string them together.

To learn tarot and other various practices, first I had to learn how to learn. For the most part, my education was missing this crucial step. I’ve always been quite naturally absorbent, but the moment my curiosity in any subject was satisfied, I considered my work done. 

That’s probably how most people function when left to their own conclusions... unless survival dictates otherwise. But some of us discover we simply have to keep evolving, keep looking for answers, in order to endure. How do I adapt to survive in this world? What are its qualities? Where are its boundaries? What am I actually capable of?

Taking responsibility for my own education in the longer term is one of the greatest accomplishments in my life. I never thought so before; it’s been too easy to focus on everything I’m still lacking. But now that I’m looking back from my forties, I see a surprising amount of continuity and steady progress. By now I’ve also noted the way knowledge fades when it’s seldom-used, so that means I’m often stuck with the humbling, non-glamorous chore of re-learning everything that used to be right at my mental fingertips.

The Tetractys flickered in and out of my awareness back in 2009, and then lit up again years later when I was working on a series of instructional posts about the minor arcana cards. 

This was the phase in my own practice when I began to leave the Tree of Life and other Qabalistic studies behind; the deeper I’d dug into them, the more I had to admit that my questions weren’t being answered — and in the meantime, I was being inundated with information that I had no practical use for. And as a non-Jewish person who reads and discusses the tarot quite often, I became uncomfortable relying on concepts related to the Hebrew alphabet that had been passed down by Western occultists.

At best, I had to admit that it was no longer helping me survive in this world.

Researching the overlapping history of the Tree of Life and the Tetractys, I realized this was a much firmer basis for my own personal investigations. The history of numbers and of symbolism has no direct path! But it’s very easy to end up sticking to the most well-trod path, even if it’s not going exactly where you’d hoped.

The Tetractys jewelry I created with Azamel was a way of marking that commitment with a reminder to keep learning, to question and refine my own interest in the subjects that appeal to me. I must be willing to adjust course, even if it means wandering through grass higher than my head. That feeling of ignorance and vulnerability is reminiscent of being child again, and comes with all of the wonder and discovery of childhood, as well as the requisite bumps and mistakes and redundancies.

In upcoming posts, I will share some of what I’ve learned from the Tetractys and how I’ve reinvested that into my tarot practice. I’m not “teaching” you how to use the Tetractys in your tarot practice, but I’m happy to help give the balloon another bump, and point to sources that might give you that delightful cascading sense of awareness. 

By now I know many of you personally (even if just a bit!) and I know that our love of that feeling is one that knits us together. It also unites us with all the teachers and students of past traditions, many of whom made tremendous sacrifices just to be able to pursue and relive that feeling.

Thanks for reading! And special thanks to those who snapped up this bit of jewelry early on, it has meant the world to have SOME small thing to show for the long months sitting here in the vast semi-darkness of 2020. Developing the consecration ritual for the Tetractys jewelry, I felt almost like I was visiting people, imagining their surroundings, their cards, their questions.

It’s comforting to be surrounded by so many who are still searching, still learning. I do not believe this ever ends, even after death.

The mutational alchemy tarot: tetractys spread

The Shield & Sword spread (aka Celtic Cross) is generally best suited to examining outcomes where the Tree of Life spread is mostly geared to examining profiles. The Tetractys Spread is the one spread that is geared as liberally to either focus, yet is unfortunately the least understood and is almost never used by the vast majority of card readers. I would very much like to see this change because the Tetractys Spread is more than just a card spread. Coming to a fair degree of competence with this spread goes a long way towards establishing the so-called “Knowledge & Conversation” with one’s HGA (Holy Guardian Angel) or its exact equivalent. Magickal powers may come or go but the establishing of this working dialogue is something that never leaves you just when you might have needed it the most.

It’s best to begin by understanding the spread’s component parts: the monad (top row), the dyad (2nd row), the triad (third row) and the tetrad (final, fourth row). We can cast the spread in a variety of ways but these divisions always retain their unique identities. No one card can be identified as the “outcome card” in this spread but rather outcomes are assessed in lieu of all 10 cards acting together as one, the higher rows giving us additional feedback on the lower. This doesn’t mean we should avoid yes/no questions but rather expect that the tetractys speaks to us in its own way and it is up to us to learn that language well in order for our own accuracy to improve with practice. It has been said that it is impossible for the oracle to give us a false reading; rather our own limited interpretations get in our way. If we approach things this way we stand a much higher chance of coming away with a sense of satisfaction with the readings we embark upon.

The Four Elements (mundane plane): Aristotle defined the elements in the following way:

Fire is primarily hot and secondarily dry.

Air is primarily hot and secondarily wet (for air is like vapor, ἀτμὶς).

Water is primarily cold and secondarily wet.

Earth is primarily cold and secondarily dry. Though chiefly a memorization devise, his definitions have stood the test of time and are still used by modern card readers today.

The following glyph demonstrates a qabbalistic slant on the four elements, flanked by the eight trigrams of ancient China:

Here is a glyph that demonstrates personality types rooted in the four elements: 

One thing is apparent from this brief little discussion of elements thus far: there seems to be an unusually high degree of  disagreement over such a basic thing as the four elements! No serious student of the occult should let this stand in their way but rather press on until you reach a place of relative peace of mind with your own understandings. Despite the appearance of a certain amount of discord, this is all cosmetic and minor compared against the bigger picture which actually demonstrates a surprising degree of agreement on a grander scale.

The Three Principles (planetary plane): Salt (fixed, past), Quicksilver (mutable, present) and Sulphur (cardinal, future) constitute the three spiritual principles underscoring the four elements. Viewed as interactive forces, these amount to the Destroyer (salt), the Sustainer (quicksilver) and the Creator (sulphur) relating to our experience of time and change, of evolution and involution accordingly.

The Two Seeds (ethereal plane):

The two seeds defined here as Luna and Sol are in all respects equivalent to Yin and Yang respectively. Together, with Unus Mundus we have the Three Gunas: Tamas (darkness, destructive, chaotic) on the Yin side; Rajas (passion, active confused) on the Yang side; together with Sattva (goodness, constructive, harmonious) uniting and completing them in the middle.

The One Fruit (world soul plane):

Called Unus Mundus here we have what is called in the East Taijitu, or the balance of Yin and Yang together. We can also express this principle as the Tridosha or the balance of Yin, Yang and Jen properties balanced together as one. In any case we have an exemplification of purest meta-mind both preceding and completing all things. We have altogether left the realm of the mundane at this stage of no-thing-ness, yet all things remain intact held together in perfect love and will.

[wittedknitch]

Every reconnection starts with someone reaching out, even when scared the answer would be "no".

After over a year away from the Tetrad++ and almost a year since I last worked with any of Them (i.e. since the last Trans Rite of Elevation), I contacted them today and said I wanted to reconnect with Them. I miss Them and find them inspirational and want to talk about Them more to other people but feel it is dishonest of me to do much of that if I am not actually working with/worshipping them.

Given I had been told by Them the month before I started my Masters we were not to be continuing for that year, because of reasons partially relating to my inability to consistently hear Them properly and doubts about my ability to commit while simultaneously being in uni (which, given how the year was, were warranted), I could not assume I had blanket permission to just go back and that They would welcome me with no problems.

So, I set out the statues I have for them and lit a candle and offered them some tea that I was drinking with them...and spent the following two hours telling each of Them how they inspired me and then discussing how They felt about reconnecting and what I need to do next in order to do so. With a fifteen minute toilet break in the middle.

I drew a batch of six cards intially, one for each of Them, but after requiring clarification on the first one about both what Panpsyche meant and what She wanted me to do, I subsequently drew a clarification and an action card for each of Them. One card also jumped out before I drew the initial six, making it 19 cards total, which is a huge spread for me!

I am so out of practice with tarot I had to look up each individual card in the LWB and interpret the key words, often with a series of yes/no "20 Questions" style questions when I was split between two interpretations. One of the things I knew I need to work on is accuracy in understanding what They're saying so I do not trust my intuition regarding Them right now. It turned out I had spent nearly a year thinking They were pleased with where we were going and that I was doing well, or at least ok, only to find out when I went to renew our commitment I had been only communicating with sock puppets in my mind the majority of the time and They were not so unanimously pleased with me. Hence the double-checking and 20 questions this evening.

My heart fell intially as I surveyed the six cards I had drawn. 5 reversals and the single upright was The Devil, coupled with a reversed jumper card. I am disappointed in myself that I have disappointed Them, and I had hoped my honesty in unscripted descriptions of the inspirations I gained from Them all would show my sincerity of feeling and be sufficient to start again but...I think deities have longer memories than we do, or perhaps I just normally run away from people I think I've disappointed and so never have to deal with the consequences.

However, I worked through each of the Tetrad++ in turn, honestly discussing how I felt and how I interpreted the cards given to indicate how They felt. Two cards to express Their feelings regarding potential reconnection and one to given an action for me to do if I wanted to develop a relationship again with that particular member.

Panpsyche is being like a stern mother and wants my actions to reflect my apparent feelings, by me donating to trans people's fundraisers, particularly trans women's (naturally, She being a trans woman Herself). I disappointed Her before and have to show that I mean my apologies and not just say them.

Panhyle started with the upright Devil, which visually seemed like a fitting representation of Him (being a faun in this deck). He wants to work with me to improve my body to what I want it to be, and for me to stop complaining about it if I am not doing anything to fix it. I need to start a regular exercise regime and not falter.

Paneros I did not know what to expect, as I have some anxieties about my own desires that keep me from exploring them fully and so, E being All-Desire among other things, I had always kept distance out of worry. But I don't want to be afraid any more. E said E is disappointed and sad things did not work out before but hat we can move past that now. E wants me to fall out and drop away from the things that bind me, from unhelpful routines and stagnant actions, to hatch from my egg and grow from my seed, to rise again. It scares me, because what if I fail and free-fall and never fly? But I have been longer afraid of rotting inside myself from not being authentically me, so I agreed.

Paneris, All-Strife, was one I did not have any expectations for. He literally embodies conflict and strife and change, so having any expectations is counterproductive. She said the two of us were an "undependable youth" and a "distrustful person" also who is which is unclear. They will.work with me on a case-by-case basis, a transactory relationship rather than, say, a friendship. And the first thing Thon said Cor'd do was help me with Paneros and breaking out of my shell, if I made a bad decision. As in, to invoke Hir spirit of change in my life to make everything different, I had to make a bad decision, a conflict-causing decision. Which would no doubt bring change by necessity!

Pancrates...flat out said Sie doesn't like me. And it makes me worried that, someone I see as upholding the pillars of order in the universe doesn't like me, I am a bad person. But, one thing that has always been apparent to me from previously working with the Tetrad++ is They are very much like people and have likes and dislikes accordingly. And I cannot be liked by everyone. Sie wants of me The Tower - to tear down and utterly reconfigure my view of myself and the world. So, I said that may happen due to the work I will be trying to do with Paneros and Paneris, but that I could not promise I would turn into a person Pancrates would like. I am surprised to have such a negative reaction from Hir but...I will never be liked by everyone.

Panprosdexia, ever dutiful, felt my time away was a waste and that it could have been better spent being more of a light in the darkness and leading others through. But now I am back I can start again and help others and shine as I can and work on assisting Them in Their duty. I need to keep an eye out for omens and on my dreams for further messages.

Overall this means I can move forward with redeveloping relationships with each of the members of the Tetrad++, save perhaps Pancrates. This is particularly immediately relevant because I have called upon Them every time I've done the Trans Rite of Elevation so far and wish to do so this year too, and did not want to do so if I were in unredeemable stead.

On a personal level, it fills me with hope. I did not realise I was holding Their presence in such an important place until it was gone.

Ace of Wands by Jessie Durham - Tetrad Tarot

#tarot #tarot cards #ace of wands

[an-stoirm]

Hi! Thanks for doing these free readings. If you're ok with it, could you ask "what sort of method should i use for accurate communication with the Tetrad++?"

OOOO I’ve been curious about starting work with the Tetrad++ but... things haha. 

Anyways, I pulled [Black Blank Card] from Tarot of the Silicon Dawn. This card is the back of the card... on the front of the card. It’s a blank card. It means to me that this question cannot be answered because the answer isn’t worth stating.

... I take that to mean that you should just use whatever mode of communication that works best for you? Don’t over think it too much. 

But I’ll pull another card from a less sassy deck to see what advice it has. I pulled The High Priestess from Wild Unknown Tarot. This card depicts a tiger sitting in front of a watercolored crystal ball with a black background showcasing a crescent moon. 

Much like what I derived from the Black Blank Card -- you need to trust your own intuition on this. Hopefully you know what works best for you when doing spiritual entity work. The Tetrad++ are no different. Trust yourself, and trust your intuition on this. 

I hope this helps!

Saturday: Sigils & Symbols: The Triangle

Who knew “geometry” would EVER be used again when you took it in high school? Well, a select few did and do. Now, those that have that knowledge utilize it and call upon the power it stores. They are helping you take your Sigil Work a step further.

Let us begin.

It is said on some Paths, that a God/dess is the Geometer of Earth. I venture to say, the Universe is Crafted in this way. Perhaps, many Universes and many times, on many planes are Crafted by this very same mechanism. Sacred geometry ascribes symbolic and sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and certain geometric proportions to all that is known.

For this article, we will stay on THIS plane, this time and space. The shape of the Universe, in physical cosmology, is the local and global geometry of the Universe. The shape of the entire Universe can be described with three attributes: Finite or infinite. Flat (zero curvature), open (negative curvature), or closed (positive curvature). That gets a little bit heady for some, but I assure you, the math works. The geometry, works. Honing us in and keeping it even simpler, we will speak of here only … our present Earth.

 Here on Earth, Geometry began to see elements of formal mathematical science emerging in Greece as early as 550BCE with Pythagoras of Samos. Although the method of the proof was written about 300 BCE and is credited to Euclid, the theorem is named for Pythagoras, who lived years earlier. It was even known to the Babylonians centuries before that.

Through Euclid of Alexander’s continued thought in the 6th century BCE, geometry was put into an axiomatic form. His treatment, The Elements, set a standard for many centuries to follow.

Although practical solutions of length, area and volume had already been occurring for thousands of years, the thinkers of the Ancient World were establishing a different view of the space around them. Human thought was beginning to grasp what had always been. Baby steps towards our human psychological understanding of the physiological world around us were taking shape before The Divine’s very eyes.

Varied forms of geometric methods were developing.

Moving on from Euclid, we have a plethora of methods of geometry from non-Euclid and topology to computational and complex. There were Thinkers who had theorems. And, there were thinkers that wanted proofs. Geometry was and is studied across a spectrum of human thought in search of those “proofs”. Hence, we even have “Pythagoreanism” or simply, followers of his theories. Regardless, the tetractyl is interpreted artistically and in architecture. It leaps all the way to its interpretations in medicine within the knowledge of various planes like coronal and sagittal. The word itself means “world measuring” which humans have done since before recorded history.

Geometric energy has all the while been gaining momentum. The tetractys, or tetrad, or the tetractys of the decad began to be seen. It is a triangular figure consisting of ten points arranged in four rows: one, two, three, and four points in each row, which is the geometrical representation of the fourth triangular number. This form is utilized in Magickal Works from Qabbalah to Tarot.

Geometry ties everything in the Universe neatly together. Drawing from this notion of “there is something more” that has been pulling at us for thousands of years, yet, we all cannot fully see the “proof” that is there. As humans, here to experience this plane for the Divine, we know it is there as we can seemingly prove it mathematically. We have “theorems” that explain the data points of our experience.

One of the most studied sets of “data points” is the tetractys. The tetractys is a piece of the whole to some and simply a “triangle” to others. That piece is one found INSIDE another, vesica piscis, which we will cover in a later installment. Back to the tetractys, we see it used today in many forms of Magickal Workings.

Balance. Creation. Creativity. Divine connection. Harmony. Inspiration. Intuition. Manifestation. Protection. Psychic abilities. Raising energy. All of these are ways this shape has been utilized. Whether it be a Sigil, Crystal Grid, Spell or something of your own creation, it is backed by Divine force.

Adding to that, we know its numerical Vibration is “3”. Being one of the most mystical shapes in humanity, the “triangle”, it is said to represent The Triple Goddess, The Holy Trinity AND “mind, body and Spirit”. We can go so far as to see it used in Sanskrit to represent the “Third Eye” Chakra, Anja.

Moving through its mysticism, the triangle is used in the alchemical expression of the Elements as well. Although studied centuries before with Hippocrates, it was not until the Medieval Arab alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan that the Elements were connected in this way.

Air in alchemy represents a life-giving force and is associated with the colors white and blue. In Ancient times, Hippocrates associated Air with blood. Air’s symbol is an upward triangle bisected by a horizontal line, notice it inverted in the symbol for the Element Earth.

Earth in alchemy represents physical movements and sensations. It is associated with the colors green and brown. It is also representative of “black bile” from the body, thanks to Hippocrates. Earth’s symbol is the inverse of Air’s: a downward-point triangle bisected by a horizontal line.

Next on deck is Fire. In alchemy, fire represents emotions such as passion, love, anger and hate. These are sometimes referred to as “fiery” emotions. Aristotle labeled it as hot and dry. Hippocrates associated it with “yellow bile”. The Element Fire is resented by the colors red and orange. In addition, it has also been associated with “male” or “masculine” energy. The Element Fire is represented by an upward-pointing triangle.

Aristotle labeled water as cold and wet. Hippocrates connected it to the phlegm of the body. Additionally, it is associated with Intuition as well as the color blue. It has been seen in its representation linked to the alchemic symbol for Mercury (as both are seen as feminine symbols). The Greek philosopher Thales believed water was the first substance created in the world.

As another contrast to Fire, the alchemic symbol for the Element Water is the inverse of the Fire symbol; a downward-point triangle. This symbol is sometimes said to resemble containers for holding water, such as a cup, urn or chalice …The Divine Feminine.

As you can see, there is great power in the use of a “triangle” in your Magickal Works. Throughout human history it has represented pieces of the world around us. Whether symbolically standing in a Spell for an Element or the “choice” in a Path as a “Dragon’s Eye” … The Divine, God or Goddess, the TRIANGLE is powerful in its use for Sigil Work.

Use it well!

CLASS II Section 3    THE FOUR SUITS OTHERWISE, LESSER ARCANA

The resources of interpretation have been lavished, if not exhausted, on the twenty-two Trumps Major, the symbolism of which is unquestionable. There remain the four suits, being Wands or Scepters—ex hypothesi, in the archæology of the subject, the antecedents of Diamonds in modern cards: Cups, corresponding to Hearts; Swords, which answer to Clubs, as the weapon of chivalry is in relation to the peasant's quarter-staff or the Alsatian bludgeon; and, finally, Pentacles—called also Deniers and Money—which are the prototypes of Spades. In the old as in the new suits, there are ten numbered cards, but in the Tarot there are four Court Cards allocated to each suit, or a Knight in addition to King, Queen and Knave. The Knave is a page, valet, or damoiseau; most correctly, he is an esquire, presumably in the service of the Knight; but there are certain rare sets in which the page becomes a maid of honor, thus pairing the sexes in the tetrad of the court cards. There are naturally distinctive features in respect of the several pictures, by which I mean that the King of Wands is not exactly the same personage as the King of Cups, even after allowance has been made for the different emblems that they bear; but the symbolism resides in their rank and in the suit to which they belong. So also the smaller cards, which—until now—have never been issued pictorially in these our modern days, depend on the particular meaning attaching to their numbers in connection with the particular suit. I reserve, therefore, the details of the Lesser Arcana, till I come to speak in the second part of the rectified and perfected Tarot which accompanies this work. The consensus of divinatory meanings attached both to the greater and lesser symbols belongs to the third part.

Fours

“Under her are the four material elements—water, darkness, abyss, and chaos.“

There are four cardinal points -  North – South – East – West

There are four phases of the moon.

In the West we have four elements: earth – air – fire – water.

There are four basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

The Pythagoreans believed the number four, the Tetrad, was a perfect number. They taught that the Tetrad symbolized God. In Pythagorean philosophy there are four parts to the soul: mind – opinion – science – sense

In Norse myth we find Yggdrasil the Tree of Life. Four deer lived in this tree. Their names were: Dåin, Dvalin, Dunøyr and Duratro.

The four archetypal personalities or the four aspects of the soul are grouped in two pairs: the ego and the shadow, the persona and the soul's image (animus or anima)

Four is the material manifestation of three, the actual physical realisation, order and systematisation of the idea. It is the making real of the dream represented by three.

The first stable element in the periodic table is helium, with its four component particles. 

The first element in the table with four valence electrons is carbon, the basis of all organic life. 

 Also because of its tetrahedral crystal bond structure, diamond (one of the natural allotropes of carbon) is the hardest known naturally occurring material. 

It is also the valence of silicon, whose compounds form the majority of the mass of the Earth's crust. 

One significant representation of four symbology is in the representation of the four evangelists of the four winged beasts in the vision of Ezekiel, later reconstitutes in the New Testament as the four beasts of the apocalypse in the Book of Revelations.

There are four creatures on the arms of Freemasonry.  

In the tarot card The Wheel of Fortune are included symbolism of the four Evangelists, the four seasons and the four elements (represented by the symbols for the four fixed signs of the zodiac), the Hebrew letters in the name of God (Yahweh: YHVH), and the four grail symbols (the letters T, A, R, and O).

The four temperaments:  Melancholic -  Choleric -  Sanguine -  Phlegmatic

A circle divided by 4 makes right angles and four quadrants. Because of it, four (4) is the base number of the plane (mathematics)

A solid figure with four faces as well as four vertices is a tetrahedron, and 4 is the smallest possible number of faces (as well as vertices) of a polyhedron. The regular tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. A tetrahedron, which can also be called a 3-simplex, has four triangular faces and four vertices. It is the only self-dual regular polyhedron.

Buddhism- Four Noble Truths – Dukkha, Samudaya, Nirodha, Magga. 

Four sights – observations which affected Prince Siddhartha deeply and made him realize the sufferings of all beings, and compelled him to begin his spiritual journey—an old man, a sick man, a dead man, and an ascetic

Four Foundations of Mindfulness – contemplation of the body, contemplation of feelings, contemplation of mind, contemplation of mental objects

Four Divine Abidings – loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity

Hinduism - There are four Vedas: Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda and Atharvaveda.

In Puruṣārtha, there are four aims of human life: Dharma, Artha, Kāma, Moksh.

In a more general sense, numerous mythological and cosmogonical systems consider Four corners of the world as essentially corresponding to the four points of the compass.

The Chinese, Vietnamese, the Korean and the Japanese are superstitious about the number four because it is a homonym for "death" in their languages.

Four Freedoms: four fundamental freedoms that Franklin D. Roosevelt declared ought to be enjoyed by everyone in the world: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Want, Freedom from Fear.

Four is the number of nucleobase types in DNA and RNA – adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (uracil in RNA).

Special relativity and general relativity treat nature as four-dimensional: 3D regular space and one-dimensional time are treated together and called spacetime.

There are four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, gravitation, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force).

The symbolic meanings of the number four are linked to those of the cross and the square. "Almost from prehistoric times, the number four was employed to signify what was solid, what could be touched and felt. Its relationship to the cross (four points) made it an outstanding symbol of wholeness and universality, a symbol which drew all to itself".

In Tetris, a game named for the Greek word for 4, every shape in the game is formed of 4 blocks each.

In written music, common time is constructed of four beats per measure and a quarter note receives one beat.

Four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter.

Four Humors: blood, yellow bile, black bile, phlegm.

Four suits of playing cards: hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.
