Eight of disks: the lantern, the nesting, the festival of Diwali. Guard the nest, warm the eggs and create fruitfulness through intelligence, diligence, and prudent cultivation. Workbench constructing materials. Just about to bear fruit. Patient cultivation. The secret seed of life and here we see a nest with eight eggs that have been fertilized and are now being Warmed by a lantern that lights ones path and is also the spark of life.

Five of wands: volcano, Cross and sickle. Pressure builds and seeks release. Volcanoes are symbols of fire and earth, with great and severe strength. Volcano fire lurks beneath the surface of the earth, continually building up pressure until it explodes into manifestation. Holding fire and passion too tightly eventually leads to cataclysmic explosion; there’s also no need to let off steam.

Seven of cups: here is the illusion of intoxication; false lights that lead astray. The will-o’-the-wisp can lead you astray on your path. And from the cups, rise verse ephemeral embryonic forms. The Willowisp is an atmospheric ghost light seen of her bugs and swamps. It translates to “foolish fire“. Also called orbs or ghost lights. 

Art: unify and synthesize opposites. Temper with fire and water, dissolve and bind in the proper measure. The art of alchemy is to engender successful transmutation. This is the card of Sagittarius, the Archer, located on the middle pillar joining the stations of the sun and the moon. Artemis releases the solar arrow with the lunar bow through the middle pillar. Together the fire and water, the sun in the moon, combining the Orphic egg, becoming each other and bringing my fourth, and in the crucible, the “womb preserving life,“ they combine forming rainbows. This is the daughter of the reconcilers, the bringer forth of life.

The Magus: as above, so below. Magus, listen to the music of the spears. There’s a message for you if you can decipher it. Bring the above to the below, and manifest your idea. Open your mind-the divine consciousness has a transmission. Translate the message and build a house of form. All the elements are at your fingertips. Create freely and manifest your will. Beware deception or misinterpretation.
