I keep saying I’m going to chill out on these deep one-card studies. They are rewarding but can also be intense and draining. However, the Princess of Cups was in the neighborhood and introduced herself, so I took the opportunity. And I’m glad I did! It was an honor to spend time with this wonderful lady over the past few months. We talked about the rivers, plants, and animals, especially turtles, which are her favorites. We also discussed healing from natural disasters and emotional trauma, as well as her weird uncle, The Hanged Man.

Learn all about her and the journey she took me on in my latest Substack (link in Bio).

New items for the upcoming Dark Market! Mixed-media blank journals and creepy greeting cards!

Join us at Highland Brewing on Friday, August 1, from 5-9 PM with many other amazing makers. We will be selling these new items alongside our esoteric study aids and gifts.

About The New Items…
I created these odd greeting card designs a while ago and never released them through Numinous Press because they are not technically esoteric in nature. The ideas keep coming, so I’ve decided to create a division within Numinous Press for my creations that don’t quite fit into the occult or esoteric themes. Ms. Fortune Cards & Stationery will make its debut at this week’s Dark Market with the Apocalypso series of greeting cards. These will be added to the Numinous Press website after the market. More designs will be added if there is demand.

I also need some space in the studio, so I turned some of the scrap paper I’ve been hoarding into blank mixed-media journals. Two sizes available, with envelopes bound-in for storage. Any remaining mixed-media journals will be added to the Numinous Press website after the market.

New Substack out today, and it’s all about one of the most dreaded cards in the deck: The Tower. ♂︎🔥🤯☢️

This article was inspired by my conversation about The Tower with , , and .t.wanders on the Podcast, as well as the research I did beforehand. It focuses on different types of change, ego control, vengeance, and how these might appear in a reading. I also explore other cards connected to The Tower and its intriguing position on the Tree of Life. As always, there will be examples of how I document The Tower in The Great Work Book.

You can read the article at numinouspress.substack.com or use the Substack link in my bio. ⬆️

You can listen to the conversation about The Tower on the TABI Tarot World Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

If you are interested in The Great Work Book or Numinous Press’s line of esoteric study aids, visit our website or Etsy shop. Links in bio ⬆️

Troubled Waters Part II, A Look at The Hanged Man of the Tarot Substack is out today!!! 💦💧💦

In Part I of Troubled Waters, I wrote about what it was like to spend a year with The Hanged Man. In the second part, I want to focus less on my personal experiences and more on the symbolic and academic aspects of the card. We’ll look at the Golden Dawn’s take on The Hanged Man along with astrological, Qabalistic, and associated mythologies.

This article corresponds with TABI’s Tarot World Podcast on The Hanged Man. You can hear my account of a year with The Hanged Man and listen to my discussion with Victoria and Gwen about this complex card.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Gwen and Victoria on 's Tarot World Podcast about my year with the Hanged Man. Learn all about my personal experiences with this card and the element of water, along with an in-depth discussion of its meaning and its connections to Astrology and The Tree of Life.
➡️ Check Linktree in Bio / Podcasts.

I’ve written two Substack articles to accompany the Hanged Man Podcast. The first, out today, is my personal account of my studies on the Hanged Man, which coincided with a year of challenging times both mentally and physically. The second article, out tomorrow, will examine divinatory meanings, the connection to elements, and how the card’s position on the Tree of Life can be interpreted.

Hello everyone! We are back up and running after the floods caused by Hurricane Helene. Our power has been restored, but we are still without water which has caused quite a readjustment in our city and personal lives. I will hopefully be back to regular social media and blog posts as soon as my routines are stabilized.

You can read about my personal journey through this disaster in a new Substack that's live today. In it, I've shared my tarot reading for the storm, some survival tips for those dealing with a complete loss of services, and links to local charities for donations.

Slide 1 shows some of the essential items that got us through the loss of services. Slide 2 shows the cards I pulled for the storm. You can read all about this in "Nature is not Just: Libra, Hurricane Helene, and Adjustment" on Substack.

You can find the Substack here or from the link in my bio:
https://numinouspress.substack.com/p/nature-is-not-just

Thank you to all in the tarot community who sent well wishes. We all felt isolated for so many days, and seeing your comments and messages was such a heartwarming relief. I was not able to respond immediately due to spotty or non-existent internet and cell services, but all of your kind words were heard. 🙏🥰💪

Hello world! We are safe. No power or water and no timeline for repairs. Our house and studio is fine. Long lines for gas and food and cell service is spotty. I have to drive to get internet service and charge my phone but since we have to conserve gas this won’t be often for the foreseeable future.

To those that have placed orders: We were able to ship out today. I can’t print shipping labels without power and have to handwrite labels and manually enter your tracking information. So hopefully everything arrives. Please message me if you have issues. I will check all DM as often as possible.

The image you see is only a few blocks from our home and studio. For those that have seen the devastation of the River Arts District in Asheville, this is close to where we live and our studio is located. RAD is gone. So many small businesses just like mine and homes were washed away this weekend. My heart is so heavy right now.

LIBRA: JUSTICE / ADJUSTMENT
The Daughter of the Lords of Truth: The Ruler of Balance

Except for the Thoth Tarot, all cards in the featured decks use the title Justice for the astrological sign Libra. Crowley renamed this card Adjustment to be more in line with nature. He saw Justice as a purely human concept of morality, stating, "Nature is not just, but Nature is exact."

Crowley also renumbered this card to reference his "Double Loop of the Zodiac" theory, in which Libra and Leo are switched. Regardless of these switches, Libra's card's astrological and Tree of Life correspondences remain the same.

The Great Work Book's Major Arcana Journal is designed to be used with any traditional 78-card deck. For cards with alternate titles, numbers, or Hebrew letters, TGWB offers an excellent system for keeping track of these differences, especially for those who like to use multiple decks.

BIRTH CARDS FOR THIRD DECAN VIRGO...

If your birthday falls between September 14 and September 22, these are your birth cards.

10 OF DISKS, MATERIAL WEALTH:
Rules the 3rd Decan of Virgo, September 14 - 22

IX. THE HERMIT:
Rules the whole sign of Virgo, August 24 - September 22

QUEEN OF SWORDS:
Rules from September 14 - October 13

PAGE/PRINCESS WANDS and ACE OF WANDS:
Rule the Zodiac together during Summer from June 22 - Sept 22

As you can see, there are a total of five cards in a tarot deck that are connected to a birthday. By mapping the tarot to minute subsections of each Zodiac sign as well as larger seasonal cycles, these five cards present a unique narrative for each person. This narrative can provide insights into one's personality, making it a valuable tool for self-discovery or in reading tarot for others.

The last slide shows a completed Astrology Wheel from The Great Work Book with Virgo's third decan cards highlighted. Additional slides show this decan's cards from the Jungian, Thoth, and Rider-Waite Tarot.

Although the Jungian tarot is based on Cardinal signs, you can use the same system above to create an archetypal narrative with this deck:

Isolated Power • Wise Old Man • Diplomatic Mother • Clever Daughter • Birth & Death

Want to learn how to find these five cards for yourself or others?

The Great Work Book’s Astrology & Tarot section is a comprehensive guide that walks you through fill-in activities, starting with simple Astrology concepts and, by layering correspondences, concludes with mapping all cards to an Astrology Wheel. Once your wheel is completed, you have a permanent reference sheet for discovering the five tarot cards related to any day of the year.

VIRGO - DECAN 3
THE TEN OF DISKS

The third decan of Virgo is depicted by the Ten of Disks, also known as the Lord of Material Wealth. This title signifies the card's association with wealth, abundance, and material prosperity, and represents the culmination of financial success and stability. This is the 18th decan of the solar year.

In the Jungian Tarot, all minor cards are based on the cardinal signs. The Ten of Disks is associated with Saturn in Capricorn and titled Isolated Power. This term refers to the self-sufficiency and independence of Material Wealth.

Each card in a tarot deck has a unique correspondence to astrology and the Tree of Life. The Great Work Book offers two journal pages with a sidebar for every card in the deck. These simple fill-in sidebars provide space for the most common associations, but there's a world of connections waiting to be explored. We enjoy using the bullet journal section to create our own grid for connections that resonate with us, while the lined journal page is perfect for recording divinatory meanings, card descriptions, and personal thoughts.

Below are the correspondences for the sidebar. In the image of TGWB, you can see some of the others that are meaningful to us. These and many more correspondences can be found in Aleister Crowley's 777 from Weiser Books.

THE NINE OF DISKS ON THE COLOR WHEEL

There are two ruling planets for each decan: one for the Zodiac sign and one for the decan. A 'decan' is a term used in astrology to divide each sign into three equal parts, each ruled by a different planet. The Minor Arcana and the Decans shown above is only one of many activities in The Great Work Book that offers opportunities for learning and logging all the planets and their colors in a way that shows relationships to Zodiac signs, Tarot, and the Tree of Life.

Venus is the ruling planet of the second decan of Virgo. On the Color Wheel of the Golden Dawn, Venus is paired with GREEN, and Virgo is paired with YELLOW-GREEN. In the tarot, the element of Earth can be built from GREEN, BROWN, INDIGO, or BLACK. In the Thoth Tarot card for the Nine of Disks, you can see all of the previously mentioned colors used in the art, while the Rider-Waite art uses mainly YELLOW, the color of the ruling planet of Virgo, Mercury.

NOTE: The color wheel is for mapping color only. A Zodiac sign and planet sharing the same swatch is not necessarily an indicator of planetary rulership.
