The Four Queens of Tarot and Gender Stereotyping

29 Tuesday Jan 2013

Aleister Crowley, Crowley, Pamela Colman Smith, Queen, Queen of Cups, Queen of Wands, Swords Queen, Tarot

The Queen of Swords has been stalking me  lately. I must confess that i still get goose bumps when her Royal Highness chooses to come out in a reading. In Raider Waite she’s usually the bitchy one, embittered one, “traditionally” – a widow… What not. Definitely, not an energy one would strive for, right?

How exactly Pamela Colman Smith‘s deck got a life of its own and how the common meanings attributed to the cards developed  – that’s a story unto itself.

In occult circles you’ll often hear the tale of presumed animosity between Aleister Crowley and Arthur Edward Waite, but was it really the case or theirs was merely a good marketing? When Waite referred to Crowley  – it was in terms of his rebellion, his letting out the best kept magickal secrets just like that, passing it to the undeserving who haven’t spent years in painstaking training, meanwhile Crowley, who did call Waite a “bore” , still painted the latter as an reputable scholar and the guard of old (and powerful) magical traditions… Yet none of them ever pulled hard artillery so to say, or anything else that would actually kill other’s career. Rob writes in detail on this presumed enmity.

Myself i am not all that interested in the history of the Golden Dawn and i think several points in Rob’s text are disputable, but anyway it is, we did end up with two distinct traditions in Tarot, that of RWS and Thoth, Waite’s and Crowley’s decks respectively.

While Thoth has kept its tradition more or less intact, RWS, the most popular and widespread Tarot deck, seems to have adopted “traditional” meanings on the go.

Thus, Crowley writes in The Book of Thoth: “The Queen of Swords represents the watery part of Air, the elasticity of that element, and its power of transmission. She rules from the 21St degree of Virgo to the 20th degree of Libra… She is the clear, conscious perception of Idea, the Liberator of the Mind. The person symbolized by this card should be intensely perceptive, a keen observer, a subtle interpreter, an intense individualist, swift and accurate at recording ideas; in action confident, in spirit gracious and just.”

The Swords Queen is further related to the Hexagram 28, Dà Guò – Across the Great Pass, in the Book of Changes

Capture

where first character  represents a big man and the second stands for a pass in a mountain, also meaning the completion of an action:

28. Da Guo

(Adopted from artsofchina.org )

So how come this Liberator of the Mind and the symbol of the Great Passing, has come to denote a dreaded bitch?! You’ll find online “traditional meanings” like these: A widow. An unscrupulous woman. 

How on earth this came to be?!

Here she is, in all her glory:

Queen of Swords from the Rider-Waite Tarot deck

The problem with contemporary cartomancy is that some new-agey, happy-go-lucky attitude is applied to an ancient and scholarly subject, newbies are told that cards mean “whatever you want them to mean” and here projections start begetting  distortions.

The truth is that the Queens  stand for the letter Hei in the Tetragramaton and, as Crowley puts it “they represent the second stage in the process of creation whose fourth and last state is material realization.”

Lo and behold, search any Tarot forum for “what does Queen of **** mean” and you’ll get sick in your stomach: The Queen of Wands is dubbed the slutty one, The Queen of Pentacles is, like, a housewife at best and a kept woman at worst, while the Queen of Cups would go for the resident psycho or the other women… Sure.

Actually, such “meanings” speak of the society’s perception of women, so the Queen of Earth (Pentacles) , attributed to I Ching’s – Hexagram 31, Wooing and denoting influence, success and cordiality of a sage – in “Tarot folklore” gets to be either a gold digger, or a housewife! Goodness!

Alas, Tarot was read long before the Golden Dawn, so lets take a look at the granma of the modern-day-Swords Queen:

Royne D'Espees, Veritable Tarot de Marseilles

Royne D’Espees, Veritable Tarot de Marseilles

Here, the Queen is depicted as pregnant, her right hand  (symbolizing reason) holding  the sword is bigger then the left, she seems to be winged and ferociously protecting the fruit of her womb.

When dabbling with Tarot, the way to go is to read the cards – and that’s exactly what i did; i choose the Swords Queen as Significator and pulled five cards:

100_5976

The Queen has turned her back to the delusion of Seven Cups and to impasse of Eight Swords, she is facing the balancing of the Justice and the Ten of Pentacles.

Let’s take a closer look at the last card in the spread:

Pay attention at the pattern in which coins are arranged. Seems familiar? Right, the Ten Sphirot of the Tree of Life:

There is that legend, that wise men of the times long gone had decided to put wisdom on the cards so to preserve it for the future, they knew the human nature and bet on the chance that vice will grow on us… It turned out that they were right. As the time went by, Tarot had followed its mysterious ways and ended up in medieval Italy. Some believe that a young nobleman from the House of Sforza, as he was gambling under the influence of intoxicating local wine, started noticing that the cards he was playing were trying to tell him a story… He listened. From there on it started rolling and it never stopped.

That’s the story i came up with, and Tarot does encourage each and everyone of us to tell their own story, there are only two elements of the genre that can not be omitted: wisdom and nobility of the intent.

Now go and write.

How to Savor Life

24 Thursday Jan 2013

Posted by moderndayruth in Tarot, Zen

Eating, Facebook, Food, Leo Babauta, The Practice, Twitter, Types of chocolate, Wine tasting descriptors

By Leo Babauta

reblogged from http://zenhabits.net/mmm/

It’s still dark out and the world remains asleep as I write these words, and I’ve just finished my morning meditation.

I sip my coffee, and savor the stillness, the quietude, the space of being able to think without distractions of the Internet or others.

This savoring … it’s a magical act.

Savoring is usually applied to eating good food: take a single square of dark chocolate and put it in your mouth, but don’t chew and swallow it. Let it sit there, as you savor it, noticing its earthy notes, hints of citrus, the richness of its texture as it melts in your mouth. You swallow it almost regretfully after letting it linger, fully appreciating the delicousness of it, giving pause to think about the people who grew the beans, who roasted and grinded them and hand-crafted them into this square of joy.

But savoring food is just the start: you can savor anything, and you should. It’s wonderful. And it changes everything.

Savoring can teach you to be mindful, to stop procrastinating, to finally exercise, to eat less and more healthfully, to live life in the present, and much more.

Let’s look at how. And, as you read this, I urge you to slow down from your usual busy practice of reading quickly, and savor the reading of this article.

The Practice

The savoring of a square of dark chocolate is a great practice you can do once a day. I like to use tea, taught to me by my friend Jesse of Samovar Tea Lounge, because it is so light (compared to sweet coffee drinks) that you have to really pay attention to get the most out of it.

When you savor tea, or chocolate, or a handful of berries … you slow down. You pay close attention — the closer the attention, the more you’ll get out of the savoring. You don’t rush to the next thing, but stop and give some space to the activity. You aren’t worried about what you have to do later, you are fully enjoying the present.

This is savoring, and it takes practice. You can do it right now, wherever you are: pause and look around you and savor this very moment. Even if it doesn’t seem to be special, because let’s face it you’ve done what you’re doing a thousand times, savor it. Fully appreciate the gift you’ve been given.

This is a practice you can do several times a day — find a few rituals for savoring, like enjoying your morning tea or coffee (without sugar), or taking a bath, or reading to your child, or having a tea ritual in the mid-afternoon, or snuggling with a loved one. The more you practice, the better you’ll get.

Procrastination

We procrastinate because we are uncomfortable doing something and want to do more comfortable (easier or more familiar) things instead. We don’t want to write that report/article/chapter, because it’s difficult, and it’s easier to check emails and take care of a bunch of little tasks. It’s easier to put off those dreaded tasks.

But savoring can help. Let’s take writing as an example (the process is the same for anything, from cleaning your bathroom to doing taxes) … you have something to write and you know it’s important. The usual way is to say, “OK, I should write this, but first maybe I’ll check to see if anything important came into my email … and maybe my Twitter and Facebook too … oh, what’s this interesting article I found?”

When we savor, we take this task of writing, and we slow down. We give the task some space — no switching quickly to the next thing. We pay attention to it and find the enjoyable aspects of it. And actually, there are enjoyable aspects to any activity, if we slow down and pay attention. When we savor, we notice these things, and fully enjoy them. We bask in the moment of doing, and let ourselves soak in its pleasure.

So instead of switching to something else, we sit there with the writing. We notice our urge to switch and let it go — after all, we’re savoring this, so we can’t just switch! We think of other things we need to do, and let them go too. We’re savoring here.

And we just do the writing, and notice how our fingers feel as they move over the keys, and enjoy the pouring of our thoughts onto the screen, and notice our breathing, our shoulders, our jaw, our legs, our feet, as we sit and write. We know that many people are not lucky enough to be able to do something so luxurious as writing, and so we are grateful for this moment, however fleeting.

Doing the Perfect Thing Right Now

A constant source of anxiety for most people, in this day when we can do almost anything at any moment, is: “Am I doing the right thing, right now?” Should I be exercising instead? Should I be checking what else is going on, in my social networks? Are other people doing something better? Is there a better way to do this, a better tool, a smarter method, a faster way?

When you savor, this anxiety can melt away. You are savoring this activity, so you let the thoughts of everything else go away, and immerse yourself. You give it space and just do this, and fully appreciate it. And so you know that you’re doing the perfect thing, right now, whatever it is, because nothing can be a delicious as savoring this moment.

Eating Mindfully

One of the problems that causes many people to be overweight is that they eat too much (you might say it’s the main problem). A big reason people eat too much is that they eat large amounts of food, quickly. It’s tasty, so eat it fast! And get some more! I know, because I did this for years. Still do sometimes.

But I’ve also learned, much of the time, to savor my food. And when you do this, you don’t just cram it down your throat, but you pause for each bite (don’t reach for the next bite as soon as you put the last bite into your mouth), and you give it space, and you savor it.

This means that you really notice every taste of that bite, the texture of it, and give thought to where it came from, who made it, what went into it (not chemicals, we hope!), and what it will do for our body.

It’s hard to overeat when you savor each bite, and take your time. In this way, you can also learn to enjoy healthier foods, like dark leafy greens or raw almonds and walnuts or tempeh or tofu. You can also eat healthfully most of the time, and then enjoy a bit of birthday cake without overdoing it, because you just need a little bit in order to savor it.

Exercise

I love to exercise, which is a statement most people probably wouldn’t make. I love the exertion of a good hard workout, the good feeling of lifting something heavy, the feel of the ground moving under my feet as I go for a quiet run.

Most people dread exercise, and so put it off. But you can savor a workout. You can savor a good walk or a run or ride. Give the workout some space, and fully be in the moment as you do it, fully notice your body as it moves and works, fully notice your breathing and feet as they touch the ground, fully notice the air and smells and sights around you.

Savoring exercise makes it more enjoyable, makes you more likely to do it, and makes the time you spend doing it perfect.

Living in the Present

Savor everything you do, every experience. There is no moment that cannot be savored — even those routine moments, even those times when you’re having a conflict with someone else, even those times when you’re alone with nothing to do.

Savoring is about learning to live presently, to fully enjoy the gift of each moment, to give that moment the space and attention it deserves. It takes practice, but it’s a delicious practice.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life. Buddha

On Versatile Nominations and Hard to Find Decks

Tarot, The Versatile Blogger, WordPress

Indeed, life is what happens while we are busy with other things…

If someone had told me i’d develop an obsession for cupcakes, i wouldn’t really believe them; i hardly ever eat sweets, cupcakes are not really common where i am, most of the ingredients used to make them are unavailable in our parts… Lo and behold, i stumbled upon Judy’s blog and formally converted into cupcakeism!

And as it usually happens, one thing lead to another and i became a Kenley’s blog devotee as well!

I don’t even remember how i got to HarsH ReaLity, but as soon as i read Opinionated Man’s Intro, i became a follower!

I am hooked on Paul Mark’s inspiring and motivating posts!

The conspiracy of pleasure got me at first post’s skimming!

You might be surprised, but yet another blog i follow religiously is Small Business of America News; not that i do business in US, but out of principal – owners of the small, independent  businesses everywhere in the world are the very class on which the rule of democracy depends, hence my (symbolical, but still -) support.

thebettermanprojects is an old favorite.

These guys post amazing photography:

I love, love, love mymostlyunfabulouslife!

Maxim‘s is a versatile and pensive blog…

And i guess by now it’s pretty clear who is to blame for these scrambled thoughts and VERSATILE NOMINATIONS… the Tarot Alchemist herself!

Given that i ramble a lot about myself, here are (yet another) 7 interesting things about my collection:

(as promised to tuttacronaca )

Like every Tarot collector, i am a sucker for HTF (hard to find) decks, here is one of my darlings, Carnivale Tarot (Taiwan):

And another HTF deck from my collection, Turkish Kurmay Tarot:

I love dark decks – in thee foreground from right to left: Robert Place’s Vampire deck, New Orleans Voodoo (trimmed), Magical Forest:

Bohemian Gothic, Deviant Moon, Necronomicon, Favole, Vampires, Voodoo, Magical Forest

and French decks (in the foreground: ‘The True Tarot of Marseilles’)

Noblet, Vieville, Tarot de Paris, Le Veritable Tarot de Marseille

It goes without saying that i adore decks which depict cats (left to right: I Gati Buffi, I Gati Serie Originali, Baroq Bohemian Cats in their very own BBC bag)I Gati Buffi, I Gati Serie, Bohemian Baroque Cats

I ‘ve mentioned  sub-collections before as the fastest way to spend significant sums in the least possible time; these two babies i got (ehem) because they were created by members of the same family, father and daughter Trevisan – Tarot of the Renaissance and Crystal Tarot:

Trevisan decks

And now, ladies and gentleman, tada! Here is the latest arrival to the collection, The Grail Tarot:

Automattic, Blog, Budva, Kate Upton, Montenegro, Publishers, Tools, WordPress

It’s my 1st Anniversary on WordPress! Party time! It’s been an amazing year and i loved every moment of it… Hold on, that’s not the whole truth. It’s more honest to say: i loved almost every moment of it!  I couldn’t sleep AT ALL the night after my my very first WordPress post, i was excited, i was anxious, i was thrilled!

Oh, and i was such a techno-dummy back then! Not that i am a wizard now, but i had spent months googling mysterious terms such as WIDGET, trying to figure out how to insert pictures, links and just about anything else. And it took me MONTHS to get it what a pingback was!

Then the sweating over copy-right; I had emailed every single publisher whose decks i posted here, waited for an official reply from them – and for written authorization to use images of their copyrighted artwork.  I am still strict with copy-right of anything i use in my posts, the thing is that publishers are fine with images of up to six cards from any deck being posted, as long as the copyright notice is there, there is no need to send them official inquiries and insist on getting a written authorization.

All of it can get quite overbearing in the beginning, i think the first month or so i was logged in almost all of my waken time, trying to figure out  plugins, themes and other WordPress wonders.

Funnily, writing per se took the least of my time. There is a brief notice i posted at About this blog on why, being a published writer, i switched to blogosphere – mind you, i partially blame the funny evolution of-social networking for that!

It took me a lot of courage to  start posting my own photographs, i was taken aback and felt humbled that those were liked! In the art of photography i am an absolute dilettante, i know nothing about it – i simply capture some special to me moments with automatic camera and later on retouch them a bit digitally, that’s it. The thing is that through these enthusiastic efforts here on WordPress i got to know some great artists whose work i love.

WordPress is a world unto itself, and it’s a safe, creative and supportive one. I have dabbled on phenomena of blogosphere before, in Pirate’s Heart &The Copper Sun.

It’s doable and you can make it, even if English is not your first language, and even if you write in it while living in one of those tiny European countries which most have problems pinpointing on the map.

Still, most of the advice on blogging is quite useless, what worked for some won’t work for others and there is no formula for success… Except the usual: do what you love, make it as relevant to others as you can, make it positive, at least in the potential – even the darkest of it.

I am all for quality, i don’t see a point in flooding other bloggers’ readers and I must confess that i am the first to unsubscribe from folks who overdo it.

I love Truth and Cake and i think Rian’s advice on how to start a blog and how to keep it going is about the best you can get.

I’d add only one thing: please don’t start your blog entries with WOW and AWW, it’s such a turn off! A great post on use of REALLY, LIKE & other simulacra by an adjunct professor of English was recently Freshly Pressed, if you are still tempted to use I MEAN, WHATEVER & GEEZ  in your writing, please, do take the time to read it.

To my amazement, the rant i had written about Slavoj Zizek became the most popular piece I’ve posted; funnily, second to it is the entry mentioning Kate Upton’s cellulite.

The statistics are downright breath-taking, in a year of blogging more people had read my writings than over in a decade of traditional publishing:

top views by country

The blog is featured at Portal Montenegrina, the main online cultural gate to my country, sponsored among else by U.S. Embassy in Montenegro and Government of Montenegro.

portal montenegrina widget

Meanwhile, in my native Montenegro, I published a collection of poems. Devil, an unauthorized biography was promoted at last Winter’s Book fair and at one of the main regional art&literature festivals held in the summer at the coastal city of Budva.

Other than that, in 2012 I’ve completed second year of the doctoral program at Pushkin University in Moscow; I’ve been to Brussels at the conference on author’s rights, chaired a session at the European Parliament, traveled to Hungary to attend P.E.N. congress, took some cool shoots of Pest and wrote a poem.

Not too bad, now that i think of it. 😉

Seducing The Demons & Blogging For Peace

04 Friday Jan 2013

Posted by moderndayruth in I Ching, Photography

≈ 10 Comments

Arts, Author, B4Peace, Book of Changes, Chinese classics, David Albahari, Dianne Gray, Erika Jong, everyday gurus, Henry Miller, I Ching, publish, Thomas Cleary, Word, writer resources, Writing, Yang, Yin Yang

 

 

Dianne Gray is one of my personal favorites – both authors and bloggers, and one of the people who restores my faith not only in writing, but in the humanity itself.

It’s true that there is a lot of stuff online that wouldn’t get published otherwise – but it’s true also that there are those of us who are simply looking for new ways to interact with the readers, who grew tired of the traditional publishing… It’s a common knowledge that publishing has become a business like any other – it’s about sales and profit mostly, what gets published at the end of things is that which sells and there is always the dreaded intermediary between the author and the reader… The choices and tastes of the majority dictate the selection of titles to be published, and with books that’s bad, really bad.

As much as Erika Jong is controversial herself – and as much as everyone is fed up with her Isadora Wing, she is right at least about one thing: “What we all live for . . . is what Henry Miller calls ‘the dictation.’ That’s when the words take off on a frolic of their own, when you don’t seem to be writing or thinking but rather taking down some divine dictation.” (Seducing the Demon: Writing for My Life; Tarcher, 2006)

Not a popular opinion, definitely not a democratic one – but political correctness has little to do with writing as a process. Almost anyone can become a solid author – if they invest the proverbial 10 000 hours into studying of the master plots, expanding the vocabulary and meticulous research; also, there is the 99% of perspiration thing…  But it’s the remaining 1% which makes an author great, a classic if you wish – and that 1% is in the domain of inspiration, of magic, of other worlds, of that which by its nature is beyond verbalization. This world was created by a word, remember?

So, as much as many would like to make the process seem 100% of this world, easily attainable and subject to fixed rules… It is not – at least not at the threshold where a solid writing becomes a great one, like Dianne’s is.

Words are tamed, you see – they are like living energies which need to be captured, domesticated and trained… Given plenty of luck, much love and endless patience, one eventually succeeds, but it always comes at a price.

Check out Dianne’s latest blog entry – and you’ll feel for yourself what i am talking about, whatever she writes about – you can literally feel her words lining up and whirling , like dervishes dancing their way into the ecstatic transcendence… I bet that by now it does come easy to her, but gaining a mastery of that level… Ask a dervish what it takes, to whirl effortlessly like that. As great Rumi puts it: ” A secret turning in us makes the universe turn… “

As it turns – it touches others and ignites in them the desire to start whirling along. we can make a difference – each and everyone of us – and Kozo of everydaygurus describes how to do so – step by step. It’s true – every post, every single word, every act of kindness do count.

That being said – my own I Ching reading on the year ahead is very much in sync with this peaceful tune; the casting i did on January 1st gave me the following hexagrams:

I Ching Holitzka

I Ching Holitzka

As a side note: i use Klaus Holitzka cards, a gift from a dear friend, for meditation; the casting itself is done traditionally, with coins and David Albahari’s edition of the Book of Changes – probably the best source available in ex Yugoslav languages.

Hexagram 06 Sòng changing to 33 Dún

Hexagram 06 Sòng changing to 33 Dún

 

meditation setting on hexagram 33 Retreat

So, what does it take to avoid the strife of Hexagram 6 and attain peace described in Hexagram 33?

In hexagram 5, Darkness, danger is present, yet still avoidable; in following it Conflict – the balance of Yin and Yang is lost and strife is imminent. “Only great sages can change their temperaments, while lesser people are bound by their temperaments; when they are run afoul of, the poison in their negative side acts, and they get excited – they contest for victory, eager for power, they plot and scheme to deprive others and benefit themselves. All such things that deviate from harmony and lose balance – arguments, battles of wit, issues of right and wrong, are called contention” says Thomas Cleary’s translation of Liu I Ming’s commentary of the Chinese classic. (The Taoist I ching; Yiming Liu, Thomas F. Cleary – Body, Mind & Spirit 1986)

A sage shall erase wile and  impetuosity while remaining strong inwardly, but not “outwardly aggressive”, then albeit there still might be danger present in the environment – her heart shall be free of danger of “clamor of the realm of right and wrong.”

‘Tis that “simple”… But, hey, i have plenty of time – a whole year – to get there! Taming my own demons through writing has proved to be one of the best tools for me to achieve the proverbial inner peace – and by doing so, hopefully, to infuse the surroundings with the calm it needs.
