Video Lesson 2 – Explores the Sword and Wand cards of the Minor Arcana
You will need to have Ace to Ten of the above suits in front of your for your personal Skype lesson.
The suit of swords and the element of air
Swords were invented by mankind for one reason only – to hurt and maim. Thus, Ace to Ten of swords often indicates problems – both surface and hidden.
Swords are often seen as an ‘ill omen’ as they tend to bring challenging situations, problems, and confrontations. However, Swords can teach us how to live a more balanced life by facing our problems with dignity, endurance and strength.
The suit of Swords teaches us how to resolve our problems and how to create a more balanced future for ourselves and those we love.
The suit of wands and the element of fire
Ace to Ten of Wands can reveal our creative potentials and future rewards. Travel and creative opportunities are also expressed by the vibrant element of fire.
Professional problems and confrontations which could lead to an explosive situation are likewise described. Wands bring a dynamic energy into our lives so that we can transform who we are, and even where we live, as fire gives us the courage and flexibility to move forwards embracing each new step with a sense of creativity and valour.
Video Lesson 3 – The Court cards
Each of the four suits has four court cards; a page, knight, queen and king. We will look carefully at how these royal figures can often manifest as people in our lives, such as a friend, boss, relative, spouse or lover.
Alternatively, the court cards can show us undeveloped aspects within ourselves. For instance, the Queen of Wands may appear in a tarot reading indicating that we will soon meet a warm, imaginative, dynamic and magnetic woman, who is full of energy. However, if such a person enters one’s life this is not by chance and portends that the querent is about to meet those attributes within.
