THOTH TAROT:
INSTANT READING GUIDE
Holy Crowley! You’ve Arrived! You're shuffling consciousness in your hands
To my Thoth Tarot instant guide Watching Babalon and Shakti dance
Your virtual astral journey was long You can’t mess this up, so don’t worry
Now you’ll never get a reading wrong! Focus your mind on your query
Pull a card, and be sincere
If the card's a suit, then start here
Wands are fire, business, desire
And the spirit up above
Cups are water, intuition and love
The womb of life, spirit in our blood
Swords are air, ego and mind
The spirit’s intellectual signs
Disks are earth, matter, wealth
The spirit now reflects itself
If the suit, has a number. . . one of ten, you will wonder. . .
How the elements are brought to us . . . In 10 magical emanations, thus:
The root of the suit! ACES Great potential but minute
TWOS
The pure element itself, in force Masculine energy going forth
THREES
The feminine idea of the element Time, form and development
WARNING! ABYSS!
The materialization, secure but safe
FOURS
Don’t stay too long, there’s more, make haste!
FIVES
Motion and struggle, allow for change A difficult but necessary exchange
Beauty and harmonization
SIXES The highest practical application
SEVENS
Degeneration and weakness here A frantic struggle, a vision unclear
EIGHTS
Thought applied to the element Submission, too, might be a hint
NINES
Energy complete and fully spent The element in the material sense
Overflowing, in excess . . .
TENS Too much can bring distress
If the card is of the court, notice the office they purport:
The Knights ride in swiftly, so sublime
Moving forward all the time
They are the fathers who initiate
Mutable they can go astray
The Queens organize their element
Intuitive development
The mothers whose secret design
Keep the element in the world of time
The Princes are the dying son
Intellect applied and won
They also give a subtle nod
To a famous chariot of God
The Princesses sleep in silent matter
Embodiments of the family chatter
Elementals, simple and slow
Hiding a secret, only they know
Four elements reign supreme
Further Divided into fourteen
Study these and I’ll bet
You’ll know most of the Thoth Tarot Deck!
If curiosity draws the reader
22 secrets bring you deeper
If fate would have it that you pulled one of these
You've got yourself one of the major keys . . .
The fool is Pan, everything
The big bang, trust, and happening
Harpocrates and Percival, the void, the truth, and “The All”
The Magus has wisdom, alacrity
Craft, cunning, and deceit
The Priestess influences with pure grace
Fluctuation and a change of pace
The Empress is the mother
The door of love to one another
The Emperor is government
Also the self uncovering
The Hierophant explains, provides
Spiritual teachings, this very guide!
The lovers represent creation,
By division and relation
The chariot triumphs with hope and victory
Authority under authority
Adjustment’s karma always wins
Ma-at balances with a grin
The hermit illuminates within
Retiring from samsara’s spin
Fortune favors grasping hands
Grab the boon, change is soon
Lust is magick, strength in action
Your true will is always sanctioned
Hanged Man chose his sacrifice
To see the world through spiritual eyes
Death is only an illusion
A dance and we are all included
Art combines unlikely things
Alchemical entangling
The devil has a an ambitious claim
Blind impulse, the material game
The tower causes sudden loss
Off our fortress we are tossed
The star is hope, a clear vision
Infinite space has a secret mission
The moon deceives with hysteria
The dark night of the soul is in everyone
The sun is glory, gain, and riches
Heru Ra Ha's powerful conditions
The Aeon is your final choice
Ascend to Horus and rejoice
The Universe the grand finale!
Fulfilled, endorsed, the final tally
If you can climb a sacred snake
A brand new youniverse you will make
But all this is just a play of Nuit
What is truth? I never knew it
The 78 cards revolve a wheel
Around the void . . . so what is real?
