INTRODUCTION TO TAROT AND THE TREE OF LIFE
The writer Dion Fortune wrote: "The Tree of Life, astrology, and the Tarot are not three mystical systems, but three aspects of one and the same system, and each is unintelligible without the others. .... the Tarot itself, with its comprehensive isntructions, gives the key to the Tree as applied to human life."
By studying Tarot and the Tree of Life, the student will gain an enhanced understanding of each through the other. For the purpose of understanding Tarot in the context of the Tree of Life, no deck is finer than the Thoth Tarot created by Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris. It corresponds precisely to the color scales and esoteric associations of both the Tree and Tarot. It is strongly enocuraged you use this deck to follow along.
FEATURED ORISHA:
OYA!
Centuries ago, war threatened Nupé, which lies to the north of Yorubaland. The King asked his diviners what he should do to prevent invasion. They told him that a virgin should be appointed to tear a piece of black cloth in two. The King selected his favorite daughter for the task. She tore the fabric in two and let it fall upon the ground. Instantly, the mighty Niger River was born, which provided Nupé with a formidable obstacle against intruders. The Niger is called "Odó Oya." "O-ya" means "she tore." The Niger is home to the Awesome Orisha of the Winds, Oya.
Oya is a foreign addition to the Yoruba pantheon. According to mythology. She comes from Nupé and is of royal extraction.

This month, we provide an introduction to the comet Chiron. All Voice of Thoth horoscope factor Chiron. Understanding the influence of Chiron can help you realize the potential revealed by Your horoscope. CHIRON: Good questions. In 1987, astronomer Charles Kowal discovered Chiron, a comet about the size of Pluto which orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. Earlier conjecture about Chiron hypothesized that it might be a planet or asteroid. At that time, some astrologers assigned it dominion over one of the zodiacal signs, Libra or Virgo. But, contemporary thought does not favor assigning rulership of a sign to anything other than a planet. Questions arise about what influence Chiron has on us. Because it is small and far from the earth, one might say "very little." However, if size and distance are determining factors in power, what about Pluto? Virtually everyone includes Pluto in casting and analyzing a horoscope, and would agree that it is very powerful. As part of our continued effort to provide you with divination services which reflect your real life needs, we have added these reasonably priced special astrological services:
