But as you can see, modern neopagan witchcraft does not often have any kind of cohesiveness as a religion. It is highly syncretic, stitched together by practitioners dipping their toes into various traditions and taking away what they like. A brief historical note on the term “white witch” The secular approaches to the Tarot are often influenced by Carl Jung and his concept of archetypes. In this approach, the esoteric symbolism of the Tarot is said to reflect the major archetypal structure of the collective human consciousness, particularly of Western civilization. Are Tarot cards witchcraft? Given its individualistic and eclectic flavor, not all witches will engage in all of these practices. Everyone will have their own unique approach. To answer these questions, however, we need to first get clear on (1) what exactly is witchcraft and (2) what do we mean by Tarot? What is witchcraft? Wicca

The Green Man in the center of the World Witches Tarot smiles at us with foliage surrounding his face and branches woven into a crown. The branches that sprout from the Green Man’s head are an imitation of the antlers of the God of Nature. For the Witch, the Green Man is a wonderful and sensual representation or the model of the mystical and magical powers of the natural world. It is a perfect representation of the final card of Major Arcana as the Green Man and the World are both symbols of revival, rebirth, and regeneration. III. Message of the World Witches Tarot The illustrations themselves are done in a beautiful, muted color format. There is some nudity, but it is presented in context. In the Nine of Cups we see a very modern woman, dressed in blue, sitting before a table. On the table are nine cards, face up, with cups on them. For some reason I see me as a reader in her. Other sections you can take or leave dependent upon your beliefs. For example, I’m not intentionally splashing water on my cards to consecrate them. But that doesn’t mean I readily dismiss other suggestions. I enjoy reading about other’s approaches, practices and beliefs. I take an eclectic approach to tarot so I believe there is much to be gained in learning about how other’s view and work with the cards. I integrate what I connect with and leave the rest. My own practices and personal rituals have changed considerably over the years which I don’t find surprising since I’m definitely not the same person I was nearly 25 years ago. Therefore, I never discount anything out of hand. Some things I have felt a bit silly for trying felt completely natural once I did. Other things don’t gel at all and I accept that.The 'Introduction’ tells of the inspiration and ideas which led to the creation of the Everyday Witch Tarot. For example, the Cups are called Chalices and the Swords are called Athames. Most of the Major Arcana have been renamed using Pagan identifiers like the Lord of Shadows (Death), the Greenman (The Fool), the Oak King (The Hanged Man), the Holly King (The Hermit), and others.

Often atheopaganism involves some kind of veneration or appreciation of Nature, and adherence to seasonal celebrations. Non-theistic pagans might involve ritual in their practice but usually this is spun in psychological rather than supernatural terms. This book is different. The Green Witch Tarot companion book was written by a real witch. And it’s obvious she cares deeply about her practice and sharing information with others. it’s the real deal. The cards do not tell the future, they no control anything, and there is nothing scary about them. Their function is to provide a means for a reader to access the psychic intuition that is naturally present in all people but is more developed in some than others. It should be noted that modern New Age witchcraft often intersects with what is called the Western Esoteric Tradition or the Western Hermetic Tradition.Like most companion guides, the book describes each card in detail and then shares keywords for the upright and reversed meanings. This book really shines in the descriptions, though. This is not boring boilerplate. The author includes a description of the animal and plant life illustrated on each card and is adept at wrapping together the tarot card meanings, stories, symbols, and emotions. In terms of finances, if money issues have always been a barrier for you, then the appearance of the World Witches Tarot is a good sign. This stagnation will soon disappear leading you to find yourself becoming prosperous again. Besides, this is an important time to start saving and protecting yourself in case of tough times. Anyway, right now, you can be more comfortable and enjoyable than before. Finally, the Death card, here The Lord of Shadows, I find hauntingly beautiful for many reasons. It’s the well that keeps catching my eye at the moment. It’s symbolism is so powerful. Wells can be wishing wells but they are also something created to give us access to water which we need to survive. From there it’s possible to branch off in so many directions and that’s just one element on the card. Further, the lighting on the pathway provides a clear sense of moving from the darkness into the light. Adding what the people on the card may mean on top of all this without even considering the moth and the berries suggests there is just so much that can be divined from this card. I really do love this card for so many reasons. Second, there are the people who have no qualms about witchcraft but are nevertheless unsure of where Tarot fits into the world of witchcraft. Do all witches use Tarot? Is there something special about the way witches practice Tarot? In the reversed position, the World Witches Tarot implies that you are having difficulty completing a major project or achieving fulfillment in your life in general. Take time to figure out why this is happening. Is it because you are not trying your best? Or are you taking a shortcut? Make sure your goals are meaningful not to anyone else, but to yourself. The correspondence between your values ​​and your goals will make it easier for you to achieve your goals and to do whatever it takes to achieve them.

Modern neopaganism is a big umbrella and the beliefs of people who associate with paganism or witchcraft are extremely diverse. Wicca is essentially a syncretic religion, meaning that was patched together from an assemblage of different traditions but does not itself lay claim to any direct ancestral lineage. However, modern scholars now agree that the accused witches of witch trials were not in fact practitioners of some ancient, pre-Christian form of paganism, but rather, confessed to things such as devil worship and witch sabbaths under the duress of torture. Future Psychic Predictions, Tarot Cards Reading, Clairvoyant Divination Fortune Teller, Same Hour Medium Reading, Astrology ReadingYou are definitely in a more spiritual and intuitive stage than ever. So it is important that you trust your instincts and feelings even if you don’t know where they come from. Similarly, it does not give you doubts, but helps you realize that: Things are not always as they look. If you feel like you cannot trust someone, chances are that is the case. Trust your senses. If you are waiting for someone’s reply, it may take a long time to get it. Try to be patient. Eight of Cauldrons: The same woman as in the Hermit, but now she’s stirring a cauldron in a cave, with bats flying in the distance, and a girl with a doll in her hand looking on. On the negative side you could see this as bad voodoo, cursing some guy. On the positive side I see this as Cerridwen and her cauldron of transformation, with the girl putting in a representation of something she wants to change in her life, and being helped in this by a wise woman/goddess. The Emperor: The card shows a teen leaning forward to grab a pointy hat (OK, let’s not even go down the “What’s with the stupid pointy hats” route). For me this brings up ideas of “What hat do I have to wear in this situation?”, “Can I adopt the behaviour needed of me in this role?”, ”Just as I can put on a hat/role, so, too, I have to be able to take it off again when the time is right”. Wicca is now one of the fastest-growing neo-religions in the modern Western world. For good reason. For those who grew up in a Christian culture but no longer find its message relevant in the 21st century, Wicca (as well as other forms of neopaganism such as Heathenism) are extremely attractive.

The answer to both these questions is a resounding yes: Christian paganism and Christian occultism is in fact a coherent approach to spirituality. While it might be seen as heretical by mainstream Christianity, the entire history of Christianity is one long story of one Christian group calling the other heretics.Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!
