Tarot Of The Day July 17, 2018 - Day 24: The Raven’s Prophecy Deck - Judgement
I have begun the creation of an 89 day tarot course in a group I am a member of on Facebook ('A Kaleidoscope of Magical Perceptions' is the name of the group, please feel free to request membership - it is full of fun people and really great posts about all manner of topics) and I thought I would cross post the information here to this blog as well. Once the initial 89 days of the course have passed, it will start over using a different tarot deck. The text of the twenty-fourth session follows.
Another clear nod to Christianity, Judgement is depicted in the Rider-Waite as the Biblical Judgement Day, or Rapture, when the angelic trumpets sound and the dead rise to the call and all are reunited in the Kingdom of Heaven. This idea is common also in Islamic, Jewish and Zoroastrian theology as well. It is a signal of the end of the current age of man. Coffins have opened and the dead are alive again rejoicing as the angel above blows the trumpet.
The Rider-Waite booklet offers the following keywords for the Judgement card, though in the booklet it labels the card ‘The Last Judgement’: Change of position, renewal, outcome (upright,) weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity, also deliberation, decision, and sentence (reversed.)
Maggie Stiefvater has chosen to depict the Judgement card in her Raven’s Prophecy deck as a crown resting on a book. She writes, “This is the second to last card in the cycle of the major arcana, and this card invites you to take a look at where you’ve been. Frequently mistaken for Justice and vice versa, it’s simple to remember the meaning of this card if you think of it as Judgement Day, although it is not really an external reckoning. Instead, this is about you looking back over events in your life, using the objectivity given by time and experience to think about what really happened. Once you consider who you have ben, whether you were right or wrong, how you have improved or not, you can decide who you want to be from now on using that wisdom.”
Maggie’s keywords for Judgement are judgement, meditation, and looking back.
Tomorrow - The World
***TOTD will cover the entire 78 card Raven’s Prophecy Deck alongside the Rider-Waite deck for comparison. In order to not completely burn out, this course of lessons will be 89 days long, so that every Saturday I can break the lessons up by doing a practicum lesson. Practicum lessons will take the form of a layout or spread that I will walk you through the steps of interpretation for. After the first 89 day session ends, we will start over with a one day break for a poll to be done to see what deck everyone wants to see next round. ***
