Divination Systems: Be Your Oracle
Timing
|
|
|
by James Wanless, Ph.D |
|
|
People often want to know when their "ship will come in" or when they will "meet their soulmate." Does anyone really know? Probably not, but at least we can conjecture. I always tell a client that timing is about possible times and that nothing is fixed (except if you are a hardcore astrologer).
Anyway, how to consider this vexing subject? The good news about a tarot deck is that there are several time clues on the Cards. First, all the Cards (except for the Voyager Tarot "Family" or classic "Royalty" Cards) have a number. Use that number to intuitively determine whether it's a number of moments, days, weeks, months, years, or lifetimes in the future. Good luck.
Second, all the Cards have a time frame associated with them. For example, the Emperor is Aries, so it's in the Aries month. Other Cards portray a time through the symbolic imagery. For example in the Voyager Deck, the Two of Wands "Purity" strongly suggests the winter, or the Woman of Worlds "Preserver," who is pregnant could indicate in nine months. Some of the time frames associated with other Cards are more indirect. My own Voyager Way Of The Great Oracle book speaks of each Card's timing (as well as a gazillion other aspects of each Card not found in the Guidebook that comes with the Deck).
Third, and my favorite way of determining timing is more client-based and dependent upon their actions. If a person wants to know when they will make more money, for example, I have them pick a few Cards and associate them with certain "actions." When a person takes those actions, then things may, in fact, happen. This is so because the person moved their energy and began to "self-fulfill the prophecy," which is the number one reason for Readings coming true.
Pay attention the Card Suit that comes up for a timing question. The Suit of Wands (fire/consciousness) and Suit of Crystals (air/thinking mind) move faster than the Suit of Cups Cards (water/emotions) and much quicker than the physical earth Cards, which is the Suit of Worlds.
Here is an example of how to use a tarot deck for determining timing by taking action. It's called the Money Game.
The "Money Game" is a Reading that serves both as an action plan for increasing your business profits and as a tool for knowing timing.
This is how you do it. Shuffle and select Cards facedown. Each Card that you pick suggests a tangible and do-able action to take. The more specific the action (of what, when, where, who) the better. Continue to choose Cards along with your actions until "bingo!" when you select a "money" Card. Money Cards are those that have actual money in them. In the Voyager Deck these Cards are Ten of Worlds "Reward," Sage of Worlds "Master," XIX Sun, and IV Emperor. When you get one of these Cards, the Reading is over. This Reading give you a kind of business plan and tells you that when you take actions on the Cards selected, then you are ready to make more money. In general, the fewer Cards it takes for you to win the "Money Game," the greater and more intensive are the actions you must take.
Once, I had a client pick the Sun Card on the first selection. That Card implied lots of big actions, such as becoming more visible with an action, more self-confident with an action, more creative with an action, more synergistic with an action, more passionate (hot) with an action, more bold with an action, and more active with actions. By the time this person truly embodied the Sun in her workplace, wow, great things happened, unexpected results, but productive and profitable.
(My Strategic Intuition For The 21st Century: Tarot for Business has all sorts of information, Card interpretations and Readings about workplace and right livelihood issues, challenges and opportunities).
Having said all this, how important is timing anyway? The following, called "HUMAN TIME VS. MYTHIC TIME" has been excerpted from an article I wrote for an email newsletter for a
conference called Mythic Imagination in Atlanta, GA. They wanted to put the Voyager "Time-Space" Card on the front and have me write this introduction.
"Nothing can bring us down to earth from the mythic heights faster than time. Mythic time is forever time, for archetypes are eternal, embedded in our collective unconscious. And in a sense, there is only one time, and that is now.
Time is such an artifice, a mechanical way of insuring unity and continuity in our human culture. And it's a way of keeping us in the box, ordinary like everyone else, and insuring the lowest common denominator way of living. Time is such a way of control, keeping us from being in our own time, where original genius resides.
Do you know the only thing that most people who live over 100 have in common? They don't wear watches. This is a fact.
Do you know when the greatest number of heart attacks happen? Nine o'clock Monday morning. This is true.
So, is it possible that a society can live without a concept of time? Yes. There is a small Amazon tribe that lives with a vocabulary that does not have numbers. Can you imagine living in the present, no past, no future, and no stress. Sounds like heaven to me.
But to live timelessly is like being mythic Fool in the Tarot. As the number zero, the Fool is the "nowhere" "nowtime" man; anything is possible at any time, and hence a fool – out of place in our time-ordered, lock-step life. For the Fool, time is compressed, not just to "be here now," but "be the future now" and "be the memory now." All bets are off. All life becomes the creative Chaos, the first Greek mythic creature from which all is born and in which past and future merge into the primordial soup of creation.
When we step into the past today, we are mythic. When we become the future today, we are mythic. Mythic transcends the mental concept of fitting into the agreed upon present. Human time is mundane, dense and predictable – unmythic, if you will.
Step into the timeless. Be the acronym of MYTH... Make Yourself The Hero, or in this case, the universal Hustler. Do it Now! And so I got an email to write this introduction late on a Thursday night and it's supposed to be done by the weekend and I am super busy these days. So what? I am mythic, I am heroic, and I am writing
Oh, but I have an early morning consultation and podcast to do, what time is it? Wow, I've got to get to bed. No more writing, back to the habitual routine of Father Time Chronos, how cruel you Saturn ruler of obedience and conformity. I refuse. But I'll spare you from more words. Good night."
