The soul journey through the Thoth tarot cards: The Fool

Posted on Jul 6, 2012 in Tarot

In this category of my blog I want to look at the spiritual meaning of Tarot cards, specifically the major arcana of my favourite deck, the Thoth. I believe that these 22 tarot cards are a spiritual development guide in pictures, pointing out the major spiritual lessons that a soul has to learn on its journey towards enlightenment.

When dogmatic Christianity became all-powerful, ancient esoteric wisdom could no longer be spoken of or taught openly, and so this wisdom was encoded into symbolic images. I believe cards were chosen as the medium because card games were very popular and common at the time, and at first glance this set of images would look like nothing more than a harmless game to dictatorial eyes.

Spirituality and science – a necessary partnership

I spent a weekend in London recently attending the Spirit Release Forum‘s conference. The speakers had some fascinating stories to tell.

Catherine G. Lucas, founder of the Spiritual Crisis Network, talked about her personal experience of what is termed spiritual emergency – when spiritual awakening accelerates at such an intensive pace that the individual finds it extremely difficult to maintain their normal, daily lives.

The Higher Self and the soul

Posted on Apr 18, 2012 in Healing, Spiritual living

You are eternally and unchangeably a divine spark of Spirit and part of All That Is. When you choose (and you do choose!) to come to earth as a human being, your Spirit, which is always pure and perfect, cannot lower its vibration enough to experience the dense and negative energies of this physical realm. So part of your Spirit remains within and  connected to All That Is while another part of you enters your body as the soul.

Aura and energy protection

Posted on Apr 12, 2012 in Healing, Spiritual living

I often get calls from clients who are worried about coming into contact with negative energy, and want to know how to protect themselves. This is the simplest and most effective exercise I know (isn’t simple always the best?!) to do just that, and you can do it anywhere at any time. I also give this exercise as after-care to anyone who comes for healing as it supports the healing process and maintains the integrity of the energy system while that healing is taking place.
