2020: Santa Muerte enters the field –04

2020: Santa Muerte enters the field –04


29-Art

‘your project has taken on an important scope and it is necessary to communicate it’

 

This oracle illustrates my current process quite well, I am using my blog to communicate my insights/visions on oracles/dreams.
Apparently the Skinny One gives me a lot of inspiration!
I honor Her with some tobacco 😉

30-Realization:

it is time to understand the nature of your act because realization is coming and results are near

The collected seeds of inspiration gathered by meditation, study and experience, finally are starting to take root and bloom.
All kinds of insights are coming through: oracles, dreams, visions.
Now is the time to share all of this!

31-Celebration:

take action while constantly bearing the past in the mind, without being afraid of having to change your ideas, even drastically

For me it is important to honour the accomplishments and the knowledge of the past  (my ancestors and my own experience) without getting stuck in outdated practice.
…
Recently I have been reviewing my methods of cartomancy, looking at accumulated results of study.
…
I have learned many things from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the underlying Golden Dawn system, but the qabbalistic doctrine felt too dogmatic and constricting for me.
…
Just look at 10 pentacles in the RWS system:
The qabbalistic tree imagery influences the  intrepretation of this card.
…
compare this with the 10 diamonds in standard (French style) playing cards:

There are no distracting  occult symbols in the standard playing cards…now I take up the challenge to see this card with a fresh outlook…it feels like refurbishing an empty room with my own stuff.

Considering the pips are numbered 1-10, the highest number is 10…this is an ending/completion of a cycle.
Diamonds were originally coins, money.

My intrepretation would be:  a maximum amount of money/finances.
On the positive side: a treasure, jackpot.
On the negative side: extreme wealth will attract thieves and other predators.

Comparing the intrepretation of this playing card with the Oracle card  31-Celebration:
The inheritance of knowledge, skills, finances, all those things that were passed down by the ancestors should be applied in a sensible way.
Finding a balance between hoarding and over-indulging, between keeping the secret knowledge and throwing pearls to swine, between rote repeating the past methods and disregarding everything.

First new moon 2021 january, confronting the difficult beginning of this year:
still in lockdown, facing the siege of the capitol, a world going mad!
I have committed myself to working with the Grim Reaper for a month, proceeding carefully…her presence has been haunting me since my childhood when my grandfather died.
After reading the Masque of the Red Death, I became confinced that Death was a Lady wearing a red dress.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered Santa Muerte in Red!
Where to begin? There are several groups and documents online and offline, but for now I will start with the visual meditations.

  • Wellcome the Santa Muerte Oracle deck from Fabio Listrani!
  • Light a candle
  • Offer tobacco

Unboxing: Opening the booklet, looking at the cards…

I will start with the last card: Santa Muerte
the oracle says:
“…this card invite us to accept any change, transformation or drastic severing of perspective with a smile”…”make a firm decision on what to cut and what to change in your life”

My response: OUCH! this is a real challenge, to cope wtih the current pandemic and political upheaval in the world!

Grand Tableau yule 2020 part 5


It seems to me this Grand Tableau shows us much more than just a individual fate, it looks like a global warning of the Dark Times to come.!

Significator 00 is nearby the middle of the bottom row where A♠ stands at the center.
The significator is surrounded by challenging black cards!
The oracle is overall summarised by the last card 2♠, crossing swords, a duel!
A♣-Q♠-9♣: Beginning to work with the Dark Lady will change my way of Working.
Q♣-00-A♠:  The Reaping Wife gives the querent the blade to work with.

Looking at the vertical influences on the Significator:

8♠-4♠-1♠-00-2♠: Challenging meditations during lockdown will connect the Dark Lady with the Querent, who will have to confront the Guardian on the threshold.

Past (left side of the significator): 2♦-6♣-6♥-10♠-Q♣:
A new situation develops at work and in private, Santa Muerte enters the field.
Future (right side of the significator): A♠-K♣-5♣-2♣-A♦-7♠-6♠
The scythe signals the time of harvesting, much work for small profit, many worries, a path of thorns.

2♠ is a fitting summary of this reading: a duel, a rift, a breaking with the past.

From the very beginning this Grand Tableau heralded strong visions…

Santa Muerte 
enters the field
to harvest
our souls

Yule 2020 showed us the Star of Bethlehem again, Epiphany 2021 heralded a state of chaos…

As visible in previous article, on the vertical axis external-internal influences, the querent is subject to external influences (the cards above the significator), and has no internal influence at all (no cards below the significator): it seems that the querent experiences forces that are out of his control.

Let’s look more into the horizontal axis past-present
Past (left side of the significator): 2♦-6♣-6♥-10♠-Q♣:
A new situation develops at work and in private, Santa Muerte enters the field.
Future (right side of the significator): A♠-K♣-5♣-2♣-A♦-7♠-6♠
The scythe signals the time of harvesting, much work for small profit, many worries, a path of thorns.

2♠ is a fitting summary of this reading: a duel, a rift, a breaking with the past.
