tarot divination meditation

This luscious Judgment card image is from the Ulani.de website. The site appears to be in German, or one of the Germanic languages, anyway; my “deutsche” ist a bit rusty, don’tcha know.

The Judgment card is the suggested card this week for Tarot Tuesday, and although my Purpose & Creativity Angel Cards are still holding me in good stead, I thought I’d consider for a moment, the meanings of the Judgment card.

In Uncle Al’s Thoth Deck, The Judgment card is replaced by The Aeon, which signifies the emergence of a new energy, an awakening and emergence from the ways of old into a new understanding.

Just as astrologically we have traveled through the aeons of both The Mother or matriarchy and through the aeon or age of Pisces- that of the fish; (the patriarchy as symbolized by western Christian belief systems), we now move into the aeon represented by this tarot trump. The central image on The Aeon card is that of Horus, the child. One may see that the mother and father are both symbolized in the imagery as Osiris sits on his throne, and Nuit arching above as well as the wings which symbolize Isis crossed below Horus.

aeon

It ushers in a brand new aeon; the Age of the child.

I love this idea. An age in which we as a species dedicate our best to our children; to the future.

This trump card, card XX of the major arcana, regardless of whether it presents as Judgment or The Aeon, (depending on the deck I’m drawing from) speaks always to me of a time to put away that which is no longer useful and important. A time to relinquish tired traditions and hide-bound ideas and open to something new.

So mote it be!!

Peace, out!
