The Tarot of Eli, LLC- The Thoth Tarot-3 of Wands-Virtue Wands (Adorable fire ritual at end)

#tarotthothqabalahelitarotstrickingly.com

Always be true to Thine own self!

Virtue is the effective and potent force necessary for putting thoughts into action. This is the wholly balance of the number three that defines and clarifies the identity of I (spirit) AM (mind) ME (body), where you see yourself more clearly as a presence standing in your Spiritual-Mental-Physical power.

Virtue/integrity is the conscious state of soul, mental, and physical action working in concert with each other; seen as three lotus blooms in united purpose on the Thoth Card. Where I AM ME is a dynamic united ternary creative action rather than an egregore sponsored "Wanna-Be" dream created by powerless divisionism.

People born under the sun sign of Aries, which falls between March 21st and April 19th, are often associated with certain characteristics. Keep in mind that these traits are generalizations, and individual experiences may vary. Here are some typical characteristics of individuals born under the sign of Aries:

1. Assertiveness: Aries individuals are known for their boldness and assertive nature. They are not afraid to take charge and lead others.

2. Independence: Independence is a key trait of Aries. They value their freedom and autonomy, often preferring to make their own decisions.

3. Energetic: Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of energy and action. As a result, individuals born under this sign tend to be energetic, dynamic, and enthusiastic.

4. Courageous: Aries individuals are known for their bravery and willingness to take risks. They often face challenges head-on without fear.

5. Impulsivity: The impulsive nature of Aries can sometimes lead to spontaneous actions. While this trait can be adventurous, it's essential to balance it with consideration.

6. Competitiveness: Aries individuals have a competitive streak. They enjoy challenges and are driven to succeed, sometimes turning everyday activities into competitions.

7. Short Temper: Aries individuals may have a quick temper, but their anger tends to be short-lived. They express their emotions openly and move on quickly.

8. Optimism: Positivity is a common trait among Aries individuals. They tend to approach life with optimism and enthusiasm.

Remember, these are general traits, and individuals may exhibit a mix of characteristics from their sun sign, moon sign, rising sign, and other astrological factors. It's always essential to consider the full birth chart for a more accurate picture.

The solar rays form a circle of golden light with a central orb, a fiery play on the sun sign of a circle with a central dot. The radiant power of the sun and positive thinking are implied here.

The Sun (Celestial self) is full-out and Shinning in the Three/3 of Wands and/or the Trinity of Will on the Thoth Tarot as if it is spring. The first house is Aries and is associated with spring as well as being the sign of Cardinal Fire ruled by Mars. Mars is the power to do War, to vanquish or succeed in husbandry, and is a great emotional period of powerful solar energy flowing through the querent, who must be Virtuous at all times, "or be slain by the Arrows of Apollo", a Greek Sun god.

Mars (in Roman mythology) or Ares (in Greek mythology) embodies a complex duality, blending the seemingly contradictory roles of the god of war and the god of husbandry. This multifaceted nature offers deep insights into the interconnectedness of destruction and creation, as well as the balance between conflict and fertility.

Mars/Aries as the God of War

Mars/Ares is most commonly recognized as the deity of war, symbolizing aggression, strength, and the raw, primal energy of combat. His influence governs the fiery passions that ignite conflict, the courage to face adversaries, and the strategic cunning required in battle. In astrology, Aries, ruled by Mars, reflects these martial qualities: assertiveness, leadership, and a pioneering spirit.

Mars/Aries as the God of Husbandry

In Roman tradition, Mars was not merely a war god but also a protector of agriculture and fertility. This aspect reveals his association with the cycles of life and death inherent in nature. As the deity overseeing husbandry, Mars was invoked to ensure bountiful harvests, the protection of livestock, and the fertility of the land. The connection between war and agriculture becomes clear when considering that early societies often fought to secure fertile lands and resources.

Reconciling the Dual Roles

1. Life and Death as a Cycle: The duality of Mars/Aries illustrates that destruction (war) and creation (husbandry) are part of a greater cycle. War clears the ground for new growth, much like tilling the soil prepares it for planting. This mirrors the natural processes of decay and regeneration.

2. Protector of Boundaries: Both war and husbandry involve the safeguarding of boundaries. In war, these are territorial, while in husbandry, they are the physical and metaphysical boundaries that ensure the stability and prosperity of a community.

3. Fertility and Vitality: The aggressive, fiery energy of Mars/Aries is not limited to destruction. It is also the force that drives life itself—vitality, procreation, and the passionate energy needed to cultivate and nurture the land.

4. Astrological and Hermetic Correspondences: In the Western Hermetic tradition, Mars corresponds to the Sephirah Geburah on the Tree of Life. Geburah represents discipline, judgment, and the necessary force to maintain balance. The dual role of Mars aligns with Geburah's function of ensuring harmony through the controlled application of power, whether in battle or the disciplined management of resources.

Symbolism in Tarot

In the Tarot, the energy of Mars/Aries is expressed through cards like The Tower, representing sudden upheaval and necessary destruction for growth, and The Emperor, symbolizing authority, structure, and the protective aspects of rulership. These cards underscore the interconnectedness of Mars' dual roles, emphasizing the need for balance between aggression and nurturing leadership.

Conclusion

Mars/Aries as both the god of war and husbandry embodies the paradoxical unity of destruction and creation. This duality reflects a profound truth about existence: that opposing forces are interdependent, with each playing a vital role in the evolution of life and the maintenance of harmony in the cosmos. In this light, Mars/Aries is not just a force of conflict but also a divine steward of renewal and growth.

Since the major arcana (trump) are the entire forestry map, and the minor arcana (pips) are the terrain you must walk on your chosen path, the 3 of Wands, represents the need for your whole will, Will-to-be, Will-to-force, and Will-to-Form focused as one paradigm to succeed and/or stand stalwart in adversity.

This is also "full on" sexual energy, as Tarot -3 of Wands implies the fecund and fertile energy that is passion and life force itself. Therefore, this indicates a time that can be quite a rush towards creation, as the flaming Mars colored background of the Thoth Deck represents. Therefore, be Virtuous/True to yourself or "all hell will break loose".

Now don't get me wrong, this is not about Chasity, this is about the type of energetic manifestation of the Solar Phallus, that Tantric practitioners, Sufi and Gnostics, seek to experience, as it enlivens the dormant seeds of solar- self, just as spring does to the dormant seeds of winter. It is an adorable fire but as any fire with too much fuel, this can become uncontrollable to the untrained personality. So, take great care with great energy. Never lose focus when passion's delicious heat is rocketing you down the road of creation. Just like driving a very fast car with throttle down, lose concentration, and you lose control experiencing a big crash!

The prefix Un tends to make one think of something "less than" consciousness, nothing can be farther from the Truth. Here Un just designates the Unseen, the Unknowable, the Un that is One. Being unseen does not mean less in any way, any more than unseen H-bombs are less powerful than the one on your doorstep or that 99.6% of your whole Self which is the Unseen light of the Psyche that is empowering you in all ways. It is ridiculous to think that 99% of your energy intelligence is under the control of .4% and/or the material body whose subconscious is suffering under an infection of the "mind virus" of indoctrination, word hypnosis, and dogma ---but most people do. (See the book: Wetiko-healing the mind virus that plaques our world-by Paul Levy)

This limited thought makes no sense as the Power of Spirit is all around you, it is you, and yet you don't see it for its footprint is the Breath of the body and therefore you believe your body senses are in control. The Solar being surrounds you in rainbow light of fiery plasmic spirit and a fertile sea of fluid Mind: The balance of fire and water are the foundation of all creation and controlled strength. Water is also the symbol of imagination and intuition.

However, many of us are unaware of the mind virus residing in our subconscious. We mistakenly identify its parasitic and trickster influence as our true selves. This is not due to any personal inadequacy but is rooted in the fact that 99.6% of the electromagnetic spectrum, from which we emanate (Central Sun of the Milky Way), is invisible to the naked eye and beyond the awareness of our waking consciousness. Yet, its presence can be felt as an intense energetic sensation generated by the mere 0.4% of our Self represented by the physical body.

The "naked eye" is essentially a complex camera lens, projecting upside down images into the brain. Individual observation, programming, indoctrination, and dogmatic experiences interpret these images, contributing to our limited perspective. This limitation is crucial for navigation, preventing us from encountering harm as we traverse our physical environment and the planet; However, it is inadequate for frequencies of light in the ultralight realms of existence. You are a Solar Plasmic Soul, who must operate a physical and therefore sensual body (coagulated light body) to "Know thyself".

In contrast, the Psyche/Soul possesses farsightedness (not limited to time), capable of foreseeing the future and reflecting on the past (learning) and adding new perspective to future motion. This ability safeguards us from stumbling into unforeseen pitfalls or repeating mistakes that render progressive living futile.

The Three of Wands tarot card suggests the virtue of maintaining constant communication among the entire Self—a trinity of I-AM-Me (Spirit-Mind-Body). In simpler terms, it advocates staying true to oneself. However, achieving this virtue necessitates self-knowledge, which extends beyond mere belief systems, requiring active engagement with a system of experienced knowledge that we know as Spirit-Mind-Body.

Each of us are a ternary individual that is akin to Hermes/Mercury Trismegistus—a messenger of the Divine fashioned by a trinity of wisdom: Spiritual Wisdom, Mental Wisdom, and the instinctual Wisdom of the Soma (body). Each aspect forms a trinity of integrity and virtue.

In Western Hermetic Qabalah there is a linguistic and mystical basis for interpreting the Hebrew word for the Sun, שֶׁמֶשׁ (Shemesh), as being related to or symbolically linked to the concept of the "Son." However, this interpretation is not literal but arises from mystical, symbolic, and esoteric traditions, especially within Qabalistic and Hermetic frameworks. Let’s break it down:

Linguistic Perspective

1. Shemesh (שֶׁמֶשׁ): The Hebrew word for "Sun" does not directly mean "Son" (which is בֵּן or Ben in Hebrew). However, esoteric traditions often find connections between words through numerology (gematria), symbolism, and phonetics.

2. Masculine Representation: In Hebrew, the Sun (Shemesh) is treated as masculine in some symbolic interpretations, even though Hebrew grammar does not strictly define celestial objects as inherently masculine or feminine. This allows for a mystical association with the archetype of the divine Son or solar hero.

Mystical Interpretation

1. Solar Archetype as Son:

   • In many esoteric systems, the Sun represents the divine principle of the Son as an emanation of the Source or Father (correlating with the idea of Tiphareth in the Qabalistic Tree of Life).
   • The Sun, as a life-giving and illuminating force, often symbolizes the intermediary between the transcendent (Father) and the manifest (Mother/Earth).

2. Qabalistic Gematria:

   • Words with similar numerical values in gematria are often seen as mystically connected. While the direct gematria of Shemesh (שֶׁמֶשׁ = 640) does not correspond with Ben (בֵּן = 52), reinterpretations of letters or numbers can yield connections.

3. Symbolism in Tarot and Qabalah:

   • The Tarot card The Sun (Key XIX) often portrays themes of rebirth, illumination, and the "child of light." This aligns with the Qabalistic idea of Tiphareth, the Sephirah of the Sun, associated with the "Son of God" or the Christ consciousness.

Cross-Tradition Influence

The idea of equating the Sun with the Son is also prominent in Christian esotericism, where the Christ is symbolized as the "Light of the World." This further strengthens the symbolic link between the Hebrew concept of the Sun (Shemesh) and the archetypal "Son."

Summary

While Shemesh literally means "Sun" and not "Son," mystical and symbolic interpretations allow for this connection, particularly in esoteric traditions where the Sun often serves as a symbol for the divine Son or intermediary. This interpretation is rooted in archetypal symbolism rather than linguistic etymology.

Since all the Tarot Cards represent the Soul's heroic journey we call "life", both hero (Son) and heroine (Daughter-Ocean) are represented in this card.

The Texts of the Golden Dawn said it best:

" In Binah is a thick darkness which yet veileth the Divine Glory in which all colors are hidden, wherein mystery, depth, and silence, and yet, it is the habitation of the Supernal Light. There The Supernal Triad is complete. And the Sphere of its Operation is Shabbathi, or rest, and it giveth forms and similitudes unto chaotic matter and it ruleth the sphere of action of the planet Saturn. And Jehovah Elohim is the perfection of Creation and Life of the World to Come. And the Archangel is Tzaphqiel, the Prince of the Spiritual Strife against Evil and the name of the Angels is Arahim, the strong and mighty Ones who are also called the Order of Thrones."

"The order of Thrones" are represented as the Four Queens of the Tarot who are united with the Four Kings, their Husbands and/or consorts.

I can offer insights into the concept of the "Mighty Ones" within the framework of the Golden Dawn and Western Hermetic Qabalah. In this context, the term "Mighty Ones" refers to a distinct group of entities integral to the Qabalistic and magical cosmology within the Golden Dawn tradition.

Within the Golden Dawn system, the "Mighty Ones" are specifically associated with the Sephira Binah on the Tree of Life. Binah, the third sephira, is often symbolized as the "Great Mother" or the "Supernal Mother" and is linked to the divine feminine, the domain of understanding, and the emanation of wisdom.

In this particular context, the "Mighty Ones" are perceived as potent spiritual intelligences or archangels residing in Binah. Referred to as the "Thrones" or the "Chairs," they act as intermediaries between the higher spiritual realms and the material world. These beings are believed to transmit divine wisdom and understanding to seekers through their spiritual practices and magical endeavors.

Each sephira on the Tree of Life in Qabalah is associated with specific spiritual entities, and the "Mighty Ones" hold particular significance within the Golden Dawn and Hermetic Qabalah framework. They play a crucial role in the mystical and magical exploration of the Tree of Life, often being invoked or meditated upon by practitioners seeking spiritual insight and enlightenment. To be a "mighty one" is your Spiritual-Mental-Physical inheritance from the Creatrix.

THE THREE OF WANDS-VIRTUE, is also called the Lord of Established Strength. Well noted, as the Sun is in Aries here. There is great power where the Sun illuminates Aries, the Cardinal Sign of Fire often related to Mars (Mars is the Old Roman god equivalent of Aries).

The Three of Wands also represents Binah's Love and understanding influencing the World of Pure Spirit (Atziluth), the Supernal (upper) Triangle of the Qabalistic Tree of Life which represents the Universal One- Self of the 3 will paradigm that begins with the lone Sephiroth of Eheieh/Kether who is "I will Be" (which influences all Sephiroth) and the 2nd Sephiroth-Chokmah/" Will-to-force" and the 3rd Sephiroth-Binah/"Will-to-form".

Shown on the Thoth card, the three crossed Wands indicate the balance of Chokmah, Binah and the birth of Tiphareth-Beauty, the Sun (son), and/or The Prince who marries the Princess (Vau Heh). Growth begins and is shown on the card as the unfolding lotus blossoms (Thoth) or white rose blossoms (Western Magic) opening to the Warm and Bright Energy of Aries.

The number 3 carries rich symbolism in both gematria (Hebrew mysticism) and numerology (Western esotericism). Though these systems differ in methodology, the characteristics of 3 in both reveal underlying universal themes of harmony, creativity, and spiritual growth. Here's an in-depth look at the number 3 in each system:

Number 3 in Gematria

In Hebrew gematria, numbers correspond to letters of the Hebrew alphabet, imbuing them with symbolic meaning. The number 3 is represented by the Hebrew letter Gimel (ג), which brings with it unique associations:

Key Characteristics in Gematria:

1. Movement and Progress:

   • The shape of Gimel resembles a person walking or running, symbolizing action, movement, and the pursuit of something higher. This indicates dynamic energy and progress in spiritual or worldly quests.

2. Kindness and Giving:

   • In Kabbalistic tradition, Gimel is linked to the word "gomel", meaning to give or bestow. This reflects the idea of generosity, kindness, and compassion, as well as the pursuit of justice.

3. Intermediary:

   • The letter Gimel sits between Bet (2), symbolizing duality, and Dalet (4), which represents the physical world or a state of poverty. As the intermediary, 3 is the number that bridges these opposites, balancing the spiritual and material realms.

4. The Triadic Structure:

   • The number 3 also refers to the Jewish triads, such as the three patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) or the three pilgrimage festivals (Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot), emphasizing balance, completeness, and sacred unity.

5. Creation and Manifestation:

   • The number 3 is considered a foundational number for creation, as it combines two elements (duality) and forms a third, thereby symbolizing the manifestation of an idea or entity.

Number 3 in Numerology

In Western numerology, each number from 1 to 9 carries its own vibrational essence, and 3 is a number of creativity, communication, and joy.

Key Characteristics in Numerology:

1. Creativity and Expression:

   • Number 3 is often associated with artistic expression, creativity, and the ability to communicate ideas with enthusiasm. It’s the number of writers, artists, performers, and those whose lives are enriched by their imagination and vision.

2. Optimism and Joy:

   • This number is infused with a sense of joy, spontaneity, and optimism. Those aligned with the energy of 3 tend to be lighthearted, sociable, and able to bring positivity to situations.

3. Trinity and Balance:

   • The number 3 symbolizes the union of body, mind, and spirit. It represents balance in life and the harmony that arises from the interaction of these three fundamental aspects.

4. Sociability and Communication:

   • People influenced by the number 3 often excel in communication, whether through spoken word, writing, or artistic expression. They have a natural charisma that helps them connect easily with others.

5. Growth and Expansion:

   • Numerologically, 3 is about growth. Just as a plant starts as a seed and grows into something new, 3 carries the energy of expansion, both physically and spiritually.

6. Manifestation:

   • In numerology, 3 is a number of manifestation, representing the moment when something imagined or thought about becomes real. This aligns with the creative impulse to bring ideas into reality.

Common Themes Between Gematria and Numerology

While gematria focuses more on the spiritual and symbolic aspects rooted in Hebrew tradition, and numerology deals with the vibrational and energetic qualities of numbers, several key themes overlap in their treatment of 3:

• Creativity and Manifestation: Both systems emphasize the role of 3 in bringing ideas or energies into reality, whether it's through artistic creation, spiritual growth, or divine manifestation.
• Balance and Harmony: In gematria, 3 acts as a bridge or intermediary, and in numerology, it symbolizes the balance between different aspects of life (body, mind, spirit). Both see 3 as a harmonizing force.
• Communication and Sociability: Numerology’s association of 3 with communication aligns with gematria’s connection between Gimel and the act of giving or bestowing, suggesting that 3 is a number about connection and interaction.

The number 3, therefore, is a symbol of dynamic balance, growth, and creative potential in both gematria and numerology, expressing themes of harmony, manifestation, and spiritual progress.

  The Great Mother has received the transmitted Will and conceives, prepares and by Understanding, gives birth to its manifestation of the Solar Self-Awareness that is the Soul. The Soul then creates its own Self-Image made by mental "self-reflection", in the Material World. Hence, your truth is I AM, and your identity is an assumption created by your declaration of what I AM.

Therefore, the three of Wands card reminds us to clarify and redefine our Identity to the Original Form of I AM Me, "The Real Person" called The Soul or Solar Self which must incorporate the body as an experiencing part of the Psyche, and no longer accept profaned identity from words, from the brain, from those around us and/or our environment.

We are not Man-Made, nor brain made, we are Spirit---a spiral-solar energy conscious that spins through time-space building self-images from focused thought of I AM. Thought is the first material of self-identity, which must be "understood" into manifested image. For this thought of SELF, becomes our only visible identity as in-form-action and/or the dancing motion of Life (inhale/exhale) that animates the Alive.

All of us are the Princes and Princesses of The Divine King and Queen of this Universe, i.e. Children of the Divine Creative who inherit the Universe. But as in all inheritances, one doesn't earn it, one claims it! 

We know how to claim our inheritance, for we are the Original I AM's identity. Just by saying "I AM...", is declaration! I AM health, wealth, and wellbeing, is a claim on our Divine Inheritance, whereas, I AM Sick, poor, and depressed, is our rejection of it allowing the Patriarchy to control you as a false soul (egregore), imposed by dogma and word hypnosis indoctrination.

  Mankind does not make wealth...Wealth made humankind.

The Great Divine She is the cornucopia of Wealth!

This card is about the creation of the Inner- Twins of anima (female) and animus (male), and their intertwined Serpentine- Fire that builds the Life of the Outer Self out of the Big Three of Creation: I- Existence: Am-Will to be and Me-the understood/identity as form! The I Am is truth of Self (Inner Twins), the identity (Me) is assumed and therefore, is a story we tell ourselves and can be changed daily! To think that the "me" is you, is a total falsehood perpetrated by "feelings" that are being manipulated by the subconscious parts of the indoctrinated brain.

The "me" is your mental creation of what you think you are, thereby being your creation and not your creator.

All of us have inherited this Inner-Cosmic Fire (perfect balance of fire and water) that defines Beauty in this physical world...and we are that Definition! The Birth of the Christos, or the Buddha/ Horus consciousness that is the "Son/Sun" of the Divine Creative, the Priestess being the "Abyssal Womb" and/or the Vulva that births the Solar Self, each an Understood birth of Self-Awareness from the Androgynous Priestess, which is/was in the invisible Sephiroth-Daath- called Knowledge.

The born solar self is represented on the Qabalistic Tree of Life as the 6th Sephira-Tiphareth/Beauty. The Number 6 is the totality of 3+3=6, the Trinity of Father, Son, and Grandfather and the Maid, Mother and Crone, producing the "Child" who is also a Divine Androgyne as shown by our brains whose left side is male and right side is female.

We should love that adorable fire (Prana/Chi) that enlivens our outer bodies but many of us seek it "outside" of ourselves; hence we knowingly or unknowingly reject our birthright as Suns of the Divine! By being true to yourself, you can not only "see" the "inner Bright and Warm Higher Conscious", the "Sun of the Divine Creative, but also feel it. However, to be true to you, Virtue must be defined in your actions as "Self". You are Energy, not seeking it!

I AM ME and by being the best Me I can be...I see the best in you!

Remember, we can't have days, unless we have forms made of time-space. My body makes my day! To Love my body is to have a day of intimate love.... to not love being, is to not be alive in the moment and that sadly states that we only have the yesterdays of the dead.

To avoid being "wanna-bees" (those who don't live in the now) we must remember our true Virtuous name---I AM, and we must love the experience that name gives us ---"ME"! All other names are masks made of words that hide our True Identity.

Remembering that you are not a body seeking spirit, for that is totally backwards/upside down thinking. and keeps you from "remembering your true self". Spirit/Energy existed long before bodies, as Spirit is Spiral energy microwave frequencies of Plasma that produce Life. The Body is Alive but not Life itself.

Hence, we are Spirits seeking to bring our intelligence to matter, for Light is made of Photons, and as Photonic Being (Plasma) we have no mass. To have mass is to experience being, therefore, we create an avatar of matter. To Experience Being, channels information into in-form-action, which becomes knowledge and knowledge is neither good nor bad. Knowledge gives us the Power to do our work which is Life- creating the alive. Knowledge is produced by experience which tells us what to do and what not to do to achieve a progressive goal of ever-expanding self-expression that we call being alive.

The Qabalist knows this virtue, as they practice the high magick where a magus of "I Am' does to others what they want done to themselves which is "being true to thine own self". The volume of Powerful flow of the Life Force (Fire/Water) is predetermined by the Virtue of the Manifestation. Open channels, unblocked by deception, denial, and bigotry, are the best way to stimulate the unrestricted flow of Life Force that contains manifested Solar Logos.

Often, people confuse morals with virtue, but morals can be rules imposed by others, whereas virtue is the morality of Knowing your-Self. The Virtuous know that when you treat others as you would be treated, you are practicing the only morality needed.

Remember, one cannot give what one doesn't have! Therefore, without love in its three states of Eros (love of flesh), Philos (love of family and/or brotherly love) and Agapé (Spiritual love), "one knows not virtue".

Below is a ritual titled "Adorable Fire Ritual" to strengthen the Will-to-Be, Will-to-Force, and Will-to-Form as a cohesive flow toward overcoming obstacles and achieving success in adverse conditions.

The Adorable Fire Ritual

Purpose:

This ritual is designed to ignite and harmonize the Will-to-Be (existence and identity), Will-to-Force (action and power), and Will-to-Form (manifestation and structure). It aligns these aspects with the transformative energy of fire, symbolizing passion, purification, and illumination.

Items Needed:

1. Fire source: A candle or small fire-safe bowl for burning herbs/paper.
2. Incense: Cinnamon, frankincense, or dragon's blood (representing fire).
3. Symbols of Will: Three items or talismans representing the Will-to-Be, Will-to-Force, and Will-to-Form. Examples:
   • Will-to-Be: A mirror, representing your inner essence.
   • Will-to-Force: A blade or wand, symbolizing power and action.
   • Will-to-Form: A stone or crystal, representing manifestation and grounding.
4. Paper and pen: To write down the obstacles or goals.
5. A sigil or symbol: Create a sigil combining all three aspects of Will, or use a symbol of fire (like a triangle pointing upward).

Preparation:

1. Sacred Space: Cleanse your space using your chosen incense, focusing on the element of fire. As you do, envision the smoke removing all stagnation and negativity.

2. Set the Altar:

   • Place the candle or fire source at the center.
   • Arrange the symbols of Will around the candle in a triangle (top: Will-to-Be, left: Will-to-Force, right: Will-to-Form).

3. Center Yourself: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Visualize yourself surrounded by a sphere of protective, golden fire.

The Ritual:

1. Invocation of Fire: Light the candle/fire source. As you do, say:

   "Adorable Fire, spark of the divine,
   Ignite my Will with power and design.
   Burn through doubt, illuminate my way,
   Forge my strength to shape the clay."

2. Focus on the Will-to-Be: Take the symbol of your Will-to-Be (e.g., the mirror). Look into it and affirm your core identity. Speak:

   "I am, and I exist with purpose.
   My essence is eternal and unwavering.
   I embrace my true self with confidence and clarity."

   Visualize the fire in your heart expanding, radiating golden light that affirms your presence in the world.

3. Focus on the Will-to-Force: Take the symbol of your Will-to-Force (e.g., blade or wand). Hold it firmly and declare:

   "I act with power and precision.
   My Will drives through obstacles like a flame through darkness.
   I am unstoppable, the force of my desires made manifest."

   Visualize this energy flowing outward like a fiery wave, clearing all blocks in your path.

4. Focus on the Will-to-Form: Take the symbol of your Will-to-Form (e.g., stone or crystal). Feel its weight and solidity. Say:

   "I shape my destiny with focus and intent.
   My vision solidifies into form,
   As the fire of creation flows through my hands."

   Envision the fire condensing into a tangible, glowing sphere, representing the physical manifestation of your goals.

5. Burning the Obstacles: Write down any obstacles or fears on a piece of paper. Hold it over the candle/fire and say:

   "These barriers dissolve in the flame of my Will.
   Nothing can stand against my divine purpose."
   Burn the paper, visualizing the obstacles disintegrating into ash.

6. Empower the Sigil: Hold your sigil or symbol of fire over the flame. Chant:

   "Three Wills aligned, I decree:
   Be, Force, and Form in harmony.
   By the power of Fire, I overcome,
   My victory assured, my work is done."

   See the sigil glowing with fiery energy, empowered to sustain your unified Will.

Closing:

1. Gratitude: Thank the element of fire and any divine forces you invoked. Extinguish the candle.
2. Grounding: Hold the Will-to-Form symbol (stone/crystal) and imagine the energy grounding into the earth.
3. Carry the Energy Forward: Keep the empowered sigil or symbol as a talisman to remind you of the cohesive flow of your Will.

Optional Affirmation:

Repeat daily:

"I am the fire that shapes my fate,
With strength and will, I navigate.
No obstacle can hinder me,
My path is clear, my soul is free."

This ritual strengthens your inner resolve and aligns your energy for success, empowering you to rise above adversity with fiery determination.

• It can symbolize Pride and Arrogance, sometimes Power and established force and/or strength.
• Realization of hope, completion of labor, nobility, wealth, and success after struggle.
•  It is a new surge of Power that sprouts new manifested ideas and motion, all within the next 3wks or 3 months. This card also adds acceleration to the surrounding cards in a reading.

• The querent is experiencing the conjoining of Body, Mind and Spirit.

• Putting thoughts into action.
•  Keeping on with present activities for they are conceived and will soon flourish into manifestation.
• Clarity, where you are seeing yourself honestly.
• Established strength in enterprises where collaboration will favor the querent.
• Radiating intention, understanding the Will of Fire, and increasing energy to birth ideas.
• This is a highly active card of powerful direction, so it requires us to understand that Virtue is not chastity, no nothing so obviously prejudicial, but rather "Always being True to Thine own self". Here there is a warning not to compromise your inner integrity and passion for others.
• Be as Spring and flower in your own inner fire! Clarify your identity and " Above all things, Know thyself!"

• In the next 3 weeks or 3 months, it is important to operate from a place of virtue/integrity as you move forward in sunny new directions.
• This could also mean that you should wait until your heart, mind and body are aligned and share clarity of purpose before you act in or handle your relationships with the Aries people in your life; Aries -March 21 to April 21.
• The state of natural clarity is represented in this card by the crystalline structure in the background. While the flames represent the ability to await the natural unfolding of things to come.
• Inside all of us is the "inner fire of balanced integrity", it is an inheritance of our Divinity; However, one is reminded that the smoke of denial has dimmed the flames of I Am Me, as a spiritual expression of Life-self- awareness into the slave thinking of "I Want To be me"(Wanna-Be).
• When this card is thrown, it means it is time to act as a True You and not what others think you must do.

​When ill defined by the surrounding negative cards in a reading, it implies:

• Moodiness and attention getting behavior.
• Overestimation of one's own energy.
