Ghosts and Spirits Tarot
0 The Fool
A boy walks with his dog on the side of a cliff so you see the loyalty from the dog the protector, the friend ... The boy looks ahead thinking about his journey... he has left behind an unknown past, a path he wants to move on from ... only he knows what he has left behind but he as yet does not know what lies ahead.. the possibilities, the potential are wondrous, are huge .... truly unknown adventures, new path, new dreams... he has no commitment as yet... no strings attached to his journey... he is free spirited, free from the world's problems. He is vulnerable in his learning, what knowledge he gains will come from what he experiences ahead. Needing to stay grounded and being able to communicate his needs... Will this new pathway bring healing within?
01 The Magician
This card arrives to remind us to look beyond the illusion, to see what lies below the surface... Things are not always as they first seem . A journey lies ahead when you can manifest your own reality. Enabling you to see your own true light. Manifesting an inner peace that allows those who have passed to enter our own pathway. It is important to use the tools we have. The Magician reminds us that what happens within us effects what is around us .. As above so below.
A Shaman ( a Magician) connects with Animals (Birds) to see what they see.... The Birds fly so the Shaman gets a Bird eye view of the environment... Sees the whole picture....
02 The High Priestess
We see a woman with arms in the air, like a Goddess in greeting of the energies of night, The Lunar Energies. The High Priestess speaks of Secrets Revealed, what is hidden comes forth. The mystery, the occult, the sorcery.. Being able to communicate with those that have passed, Clairvoyance, Mediumship. a Sense of Magick, something that holds a mystery to the everyday sort of person. the unknown, the hidden. Nothing can be hidden from this person on any level. The Light reminds us eventually everything can be brought into the light out of the darkness.
03. The Empress.
This card is quite unique ...
An Angel with the most beautiful wings and surrounded by this gorgeous light looks down upon a child kneeling infront of her... A sense of mothering, motherhood, caring, kindness is shown.... a sense of being their totally for this child, support given under all circumstances... bringing a bounty, an abundance of love, unconditional love to others.. allowing a sense of personal growth. This card also reminds us not to forget about loving ourselves, giving ourselves the support we need.. Maybe at this time we need to ask others to take care of us.... Maybe we are feeling sorrow and another person is showing us kindness, this card asks us to accept the help from others at this time ....

14 • Temperance (Swan Maiden)
Swan Maidens possessed the ability to shape-shift into humans by shedding their feathers. Mortal men seeking their affections would confiscate their feathers and domesticate the captive maidens. But if her feather
13
garments were discovered, she would change back to a swan and rejoin her flock. The swan maiden is partially in the water, symbolizing the unconscious and her ties to her primal instincts. Her hands reach for the stone and the moss-covered embankment dividing the stability of the earth and the flow of the water. The Swan Maiden represents the reconciliation of both aspects of her being.
Divinatory meaning: Balance and harmony will guide you between conscious deliberation and the deeper waters of the unconscious. This is a time to let go of the ego and submerge into the waters of deeper insights and inner reflection.

15 Chains (Jacob Marley)
In A Christmas Carol, Jacob Marley was Ebenezer Scrooge’s business partner and only friend. On Christmas Eve, the anniversary of Marley’s death, his ghost paid Scrooge an unexpected visit. The ghost’s chains, cashboxes and padlocks encumbered his spirit and served as reminders of his material-driven life. Marley comes to his parsimonious partner as a symbol of this potential dreadful fate, telling him to expect three spirit encounters. The ghost of Jacob Marley hangs in limbo as the shadows of an illusionary life keep his spirit in a state of stasis.
Divinatory meaning: You are harboring
obsessive desires that cannot fill an empty void.
Instead, it is weighing you down with deep-seated dissatisfaction. Open your eyes to the truth and start recognizing what is truly important.

0 • The Fool (Leshy)
Leshy are wood spirits inhabiting the dark forests of the Baltics. These shape-shifters can assume many guises and range in temperament from malevolent to mischievous. They are elusive and difficult to detect, but can lead the unwary traveler astray with their ability to mimic sounds. Entering a forest can be analogous to entering the unknown terrain of the unconscious. The tangle of branches indicates the challenges that lay ahead. The faces in the rocks illustrate the gamut of emotion and life lessons that await us. The dog is aware of the supernatural presence and serves as an intuitive guide for the carefree individual.
Divinatory meaning: Maintaining a sense of adventure helps carry you through the challenges ahead. Preserve a child-like optimism as you explore new paths, but bear in mind that anything can happen along the way.

Four of Cups (Davy Jones' Locker)
Davy Jones' Locker was the dreaded watery grave of sailors who perished at sea. With cruel indifference, the spirit of the deep dragged sailors down to the bottom of the sea where poor souls were doomed to join the casualties held in “Davy Jones’s Locker”. The lifeless sailors sink in the stagnant waters of uncertainty. Cool colors depict the spirits of the cold void. They mourn their entrapment, unable to free themselves from their watery graves.
Divinatory Meaning: It is important to make sure we do not give into the impulses of complacency. Seek out stimulation and rise above the waters of indifference.

Three of Pentacles (Manes)
Manes were ghosts and guardians of burial sites and monuments. They were considered good spirits and were referred to as Di Manes, or divine dead. Each year, during the feast of Parentalia, gravesites were visited and offerings were made to honor the dead. Roman tombstones were often inscribed with the letters DM (Di Manes) to officiate the spirits. This luminous image exemplifies energy born from the seeds of creative thinking. The three spirits balance their decorative disks, the different designs representing individual contribution to a team effort.
Divinatory meaning: This is the time to tackle a project by brushing up on old skills or nurturing new ones.

7 • The Chariot (The Wild Hunt)
In the darkness of night, a terrifying howl rips through a storm-laden sky. A savage phantom army of hideous horses and wild dogs hunt down the damned and carry bad omens for those who dare to spy. Their ruthless display knows no mercy as their unearthly wails foreshadow death. The volatile sky contrasts with the placid, snow-covered valleys below. This signifies the polarities between life and death, light and shadow, the conscious and unconscious.
Divinatory meaning: This is the time to take action. Embrace challenges with an air of calm control. You can determine your destiny by recognizing the dark that lurks beyond the horizon and take steps to assure a successful journey through uncertainty.

Ace of Wands..
From LWB
Ace of Wands (Will o’ the Wisp)
Also referred to as “fool’s fire,” these anomalous flickers usually appear after sundown over remote marshy areas. Hapless travelers lured into the bog would soon discover that the flickering was not tangible, but mere illusions permeating from the gaseous marshlands. The forest is alive with boisterous spirits, whose energy illuminates dark passages and provides clarity. The lights and orbs are representative of a higher spirit at work. The water is a reflection of the deep reservoirs of the mind, populated with flickers of wisdom and creative insight.
Divinatory Meaning: You may “see the light” that serves as a harbinger for change.
Traditionally this card reminds me to think about what action I want to take in a creative project, in my Spiritual energy.. Maybe in a relationship on some level ... in what result do I desire?
There may be a spark of an idea, a thought ....
Natural force, energy and strength need to be energetically applied...
It could be news of a new business opportunity, there may be some challenge, so you may find yourself needing to be aggressive, but control any tendency to be ruthless. An important communication will make a difference to your future...

King of Swords..
Looking at this card we see this card is quite different than the RWS Type of image .. we this King on a Horse, he looks headless, a light where his head should be.... walking from a field into a forest...
For me this card reminds us to think carefully before taking action...
He could be a mature Man who thinks very deeply about others. He could be a man who has knowledge and could give sound advice.
From the LWB
King of Swords (Headless Horseman)
The Headless Horseman was thought to have been a Hessian soldier decapitated by a cannonball. Using his own severed head as the lethal instrument, the headless horseman struck a hapless schoolteacher named Ichabod with a mortal blow to the cranium. Ichabod’s horse was found, but the body of the schoolteacher was never recovered. The Headless Horseman crosses the threshold from vaporous illusion to physical predator. The markings on his gray steed suggest that evil can reveal itself at every turn. This spirit is a reminder that mental agility is paramount as you expose yourself to new ventures. Don't lose yourself in daydreams but stay focused on the reality of the potential perils ahead.
Divinatory Meaning: A powerful masculine presence may cross your path and shake you out of complacency. Beyond the veneer of cold control may be someone who can offer necessary clarity and insight. Use your head!
Today's Card
Seven of Cups ...
Looking at this card ...
We see a horseman who is very close to the edge of cliff , knowing there are choices to be made , and some may not be such a good idea... Who stands before him? Are they warning him of the dangers or egging him on? What is it that lies behind him? the earth crumbles beneath the hoofs of the Horse...
For me I see this card has giving us choices that lie ahead.. some are not so good even though we may dream of the riches that choice may give us, there may be a need for a sacrifice we have not fully thought through carefully, we may not fully understand the choices we are given and feel we may want everything we are given not realizing sometimes less is more....
LWB...
Seven of Cups (Eldorado)
The poem by Edgar Allan Poe portrays a gallant knight entering his twilight while still searching for the elusive Eldorado—a legendary golden city. A specter directs the old, weakening man down towards the Valley of the Shadow “Ride, boldly ride.” The illusion of finding wealth has become a metaphor of death. The hunched figure is an indication that the road has come to an end. The abandoned helmet symbolizes ideas that do not materialize. The precipice is an earthly reality, which begins to crumble and fall into the endless depths below. The descending cups reflect delusional thinking and the spirits carry broken dreams.
Divinatory Meaning: You’ve been drifting along in search of some elusive Shangri-la. Instead of following a practical, substantial path, you’re driven by a pipe dream that is built on illusion.
