symbol- meaning-union

This is the starting point for love. The Ace of Wands represents the new born male and female child. They have not yet met in a meaningful way. The union represented by this card is the union and harmony of the universe itself. The universe exists in harmony even if we can not sense that natural harmony. The world is right and the world is perfect. There is nothing that needs to be changed. We are born into this world in a balanced way.

The male and female experience life very differently. The male regenerates energy by tapping into photon or light energy and the female regenerates her energy by tapping into the atomic and molecular energies of physical matter. From a sexual point of view the male is constantly generating and loosing sperm. The female is born with all the eggs she will carry the rest of her life. These differences are profound in their effect on each of us.

The old nursery rhyme tells us, “drums and snails and puppy dog tails, that’s what little boys are made of. Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.” The physical body we are born into determines many of our life experiences.

This difference between the sexes is also a difference in polarity. It attracts the male and female together for an energy exchange and attempts to balance and neutralize the inequalities between each of them. Our souls may be both male and female but our physical bodies are not.

When these two meet it is “Puppy Love”! Each can see the God and Goddess in the other. They don’t really see the real person. In that sense this card represents Spiritual Love.

Ace of Wands

Male experience:

The Ace of Wands symbolizes light/electricity bursting through the barriers of old ideas. Conscious awareness and intuitive awareness are one and the same. Here is the spiritual experience of being at one with God or the Cosmic.

The boy child has the experience of becoming part of all things and finding his true destiny in play and nature.

The limitations of language make this experience indescribable and it can be shared with no one. This is very difficult for him to accept. Especially when he tries to communicate with the opposite sex.

This card symbolizes the life force, the phallus and God in physical form. The spirit of life within us is sacred and holy. Spiritual Light manifests as life energy.

Female experience:

The Ace of Wands symbolizes her union with the spiritual light. She achieves a great understanding in the form of illuminations. She has a strong awareness of being a girl instead of a boy. Instinctively she is aware of the life force in the phallus and of boys being Gods in physical form .

She wonders what it would be like to live forever but no one understands her. Many things remain a secret between God/dess and herself.

She feels small and helpless as she ponders the mighty forces of destiny and the male dominated world.

The Prince of Wands is related to the Tarot Trump cards HIGH PRIESTESS, HIEROPHANT, EMPEROR, THE LOVERS, STRENGTH and WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

The Prince is also related to the ACE of Wands, ACE of CUPS, TWO of Wands, TWO of CUPS, THREE of Wands, and THREE of CUPS. His Element is Fire.

The Prince of Wands has fully developed his body of light and can astral travel in full awareness at all levels of the astral planes. His awareness can travel through the cosmic circuit as light and photon pulses. This gives him deep insight into nature and life itself.

The interesting thing is that even though he is born with the second sight he will often fear it and repress it. He sees too deeply into things and prefers to not look at times. This makes it hard to share personal things with him because it feels uncomfortably intimate.

He is the farmer that loves working in the field growing crops, being close to nature and animals. He is their protector and guardian spirit. He is tough and weathered like an oak tree.

A natural outdoorsman, he is a deeply spiritual person that can make friends out of enemies. He is not an emotional person and any emotional thoughts are painfully destroyed as soon as they appear. He would rather trust his intellect instead. He has a strong body and nervous system that can withstand the rough treatment of being constantly outdoors.

You might recognize him by this phrase,”that just doesn’t make any sense”. It is easy to be intimidated by him because he is so competent at so many things.

The Queen is related to the ACE of Wands, ACE of SWORDS, TWO of Wands, TWO of SWORDS, THREE of Wands, and THREE of SWORDS. Her Element is Fire. She controls the magnetic forces of attraction and repulsion. She has the ability to withstand great conflict and stand firm in her convictions. She has a very spiritual tolerance of others and of life’s difficulties. You will like her or you will hate her. There is no middle ground for the Queen of Wands. You probably know someone like her.

This lady has a strong connection to plant and animal life. She gets illuminations while working in the garden or with her many pets. A natural healer, she is able to listen and give wise counsel. Talking with her helps others to sort things that are emotionally painful and gain objectivity. She does this through the ability to distance herself from emotional pain. She can rise above the raw passions and emotions and not be pulled under by them.

She has strong bones and teeth and will rarely need to see the dentist. An eternal student, she is constantly getting rid of old out moded ideas and replacing them with newer more successful ideas and beliefs. She can easily change her mind and learn from her mistakes letting old behaviors and experiences fall away. Her mind is filled with happy colorful ideas and thoughts and she brings energy into the room when she enters.

In love she is all or nothing and has the tendency of becoming obsessed with her partner and forgetting about other things. In love and romance the sparks really fly.

The King of Wands is related to other cards in the Tarot. He contains the essential elements of THE FOOL, THE HIEROPHANT, THE LOVERS, STRENGTH, THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE, and JUSTICE.The King is also related to the ACE, TWO, and THREE of Wands. The King represents a real person, perhaps someone you know. The other cards are powers or tools he uses in special ways.

His Element is FIRE. He controls the power of light and electricity. Each of these things should be placed somewhere on his card to show his association with them. When he gets going and is in his element his personality is very intense and electric. Think of your favorite college professor or teacher.

The King of Wands has attained the highest levels of spiritual accomplishment and is one of the guiding forces of the “collective soul” of humanity. He is a spiritual teacher and has attained cosmic consciousness or oneness with the universe.

Illuminations cause him to trust the voice of his own conscience more than mental reasoning and he is a natural mystic. His physical body is pulsing with life energy.

This is a person able to keep his head when others are losing theirs. His training allows him to escape old behavior patterns and develop new ways of doing things. He does this through an uncanny ability to see the big picture. This is a person that walks his own path.

He has a positive yet realistic conception of the world and resists the negative qualities of life. In love relationships he encounters barriers and frustrations with wild ups and downs because his emotional armor and defenses get in the way. He has trouble expressing his emotions and tries to retreat into his head.

The phrase “so heavenly bound that he is no earthly good” could describe him and his passion for the spiritual side of life. Wands is spiritual energy and he is the master of it. He might very well need help with the more mundane aspects of life and living.

In the Tarot the suit of Wands represents spiritual energy and the element fire. Fire has always been a symbol of light and passion. This energy comes to us through inspiration and illumination.

It is an extremely abstract form of thought that is beyond the normal intellect but still valid. It is the energy of the God and Goddess that resides within each of us.Spiritual energy is extremely volatile and is the first energy that is exchanged normally between the male and the female. It has to do with the vague and general stereotypes that we have of the opposite sex. This is when we worship the person we fall in love with.

This is also called “Puppy Love”. We are in love with the idea of being in love and not really in love with our partner. We worship them but don’t really know them.

This sharing of energy follows a pattern that sets the tone for the other suits as well.

The traditional tarot deck has several divisions within it. Perhaps the most well known are the trump cards. There are twenty two trumps in the traditional deck. Each one represents a path or life experience that must be encountered on the mystical path back to “Source” or “God/dess”. They represent forces of destiny that are cosmic in nature and beyond human influence.

In the OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance deck the trump cards represent much more than this. They represent how we discover and integrate the masculine and feminine aspects we each have within us. They are symbolic images of the attainment of spiritual, psychological, emotional and mental health.

Said in another way these trumps symbolize how we gradually learn to love ourselves. This is vitally important because how can we love someone else if we can not love ourselves? First we love others because we find in them things we would like to find in ourselves but can’t. We feel those we love complete us. As we grow and mature we come to recognize those same characteristics in ourselves. This process of self discovery is what the Trumps are about.

The rest of the deck is divided into four suits. Traditionally these are Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles. These four suits represent spirit, intellect, emotion, and physical life. They also represent mundane life experiences easily recognized and within our power to change.

In the OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance I’ve chosen to use Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles respectively for the same purpose. In this deck we use each suit to explore Spiritual love, Platonic love, Emotional love and Physical love between the male and the female.

These four suits are known as the “Minor Arcana” and the trumps are known as the “Major Arcana”. The Minor Arcana are the tarot cards we most identify with and we will begin with the suit of Wands or Spiritual Love.

The four suits are further divided into Court Cards and number cards. The Court Cards represent personality types we might recognize. In tarot readings a Court card is usually chosen to represent the individual asking for a reading. You might recognize yourself in one of these Court cards or you might recognize parts of yourself in all of them!

Lastly the descriptions given in this book describe how a male might experience the card and how a female might experience the card. I’ve done this for stylistic purposes. For example, if I say a card represents a male placing a female upon a pedestal I am describing how one person in a relationship might place the other on a pedestal. I don’t mean only males place females upon pedestals. I’m simply trying to describe an energy dynamic that is taking place between two people involved in a love relationship and how each might respond.

OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance Introduction

I’ve been struggling with something for a long time now and have finally made up my mind about it. You see, the trouble is that I believe everyone must find their own way and discover their own truth especially in the area of love and romance. Things are simply not as they seem at times.

This is especially true in the area of modern survivalism where the social pressure is to become dependant on external authorities and not upon our own inner resources. Love and Romance are vital survival issues because life is simply not worth living if we are alone. We live for our interactions with others.

This book on love and romance will deal with the occult or hidden reality that we find ourselves in every day as we interact with those that we love and those that we may hate. I ask that you ponder and study each tarot card as it is explored and see if it is a part of your truth as well as mine. Trust nothing on faith and keep only those things that are true for you.

Most of all I hope that this book can help you to understand how love and romance works in your life.

Symbol- young woman’s lover is killed at her feet. She is made captive by victor

Meaning- entrapment

He is generating a full supply of emotional energy and absorbing all of her excess emotional energy. As it combines with his energy he gains the ability to astral project and have astral adventures. He is able to sustain an astral body at will.

He has the ability to do dream work. This means that during his dreams he is able to alter the outcome. His dreams represent his potential future and by altering these dreams he is able to alter his future. He takes an active role in trying to astrally contact the girl he is interested in and gets more of her emotional energy. As he does this he alters the astral events she has created into events that are more to his liking. They are not working together.

She is trying to astrally draw her ideal mate to her. Her ideal mate is a lot like her and they have many things in common. Her friend is trying to destroy this future and draw her to himself instead. They are in conflict about what they are trying to accomplish.

As these astral events progress she finds the man of her dreams and falls in love but her old friend ruins the relationship for her. If not in the physical world he is trying to change it in the astral world.

She has already created the future she wants and is trapped within the very thing she has created. It has become a part of the collective and she no longer has the ability to alter it. She can’t defend the future she has created and watches helplessly as her dreams fall apart into ruins through his alterations.

He knows she is the perfect person for him. She is everything that he is not. She is his soulmate, his missing half. He will do anything, fight anyone to win her love. He is frustrated with her refusal of him and his desire drives him to try pressuring her into a relationship. He won’t take anything else for an answer. She is beginning to feel afraid. She has no desire to have a deeper relationship with him but the shear force of his personality is impossible to resist. He is too powerful for her and he drives off the one she really loves.

She feels herself sucked into this nightmare relationship helplessly against her will. She is completely at his mercy.

Male experience:

She is the perfect one for him and he will convince her of it no matter how hard she resists. Sooner or later she must realize they are meant to be together. He absorbs all of her excess emotional energy and his dreams become vivid and realistic. He has dreams about her with another man and he fights this man in astral battles to win her back.

He is fighting back in his dreams and changes the outcome of them. Each time he confronts a problem in his dreams and defeats it he feels a gain in power. He is creating the type of life he wants to live by astrally fighting for it.

Female experience:

She has created the astral future she desires and it has become part of the collective. She is trapped within the version of her future that the collective gives her. She is forced to watch in horror as the dream life that she astrally created is torn apart piece by piece.

Instead of being drawn toward the one she loves she is helplessly enmeshed in a relationship with someone she doesn’t love.

OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance is about the energy dynamics of love and human relationships. Why love sparks and why it sometimes dies. Can any of us really survive without love?

Symbol- shotgun wedding

Meaning- seduction

The Astral Planes merge downward and pour a blessing of love and light onto the initiate in a spiritual baptism. He or she is unable to contain the star within the body and it bursts forth in all of its glory. This is a realization of the Christ Spirit and marks the beginning of the higher initiation.

It signals a sprouting and rapid growth of the soul body. He is generating more emotional energy and it is difficult for him. He feels he is pouring out his entire soul in his effort to find the perfect woman. He is at the edge of his mind. His intellect has been telling him that he is wasting his time and will never find someone. In spite of his intellectual doubts he continues searching and searching, generously giving away his energy with no return. Just as he feels that he can give no more he has the incredible experience of absorbing some of her pure emotional energy. It is a spiritual baptism that surrounds him in waves of light and love. The energy he has given out has found a way back to him.

He might not realize the energy came from her. It could be that he believes it was a beautiful spiritual experience. In any case he wants more of those experiences and doesn’t know how to get them.

This is known as the baptism of the Holy Spirit in some traditions and it triggers an intense desire to generate incredible amounts of emotional energy in the hopes of repeating it.

By this time she has absorbed enough of his emotional energy and used it to create the potential future she wants for herself and for him. To him this could mean he is doomed to a life of mediocrity like everyone else he knows. He has big plans and won’t settle for less than the best of life.

She has no need of her excess emotional energy and freely gives it to him as pure emotional energy. He absorbs this energy from her for the first time and it is a very important time for him. At first he can’t use this energy. It remains trapped in his physical body to be released at night as astral energy that develops his soul.

He uses this energy to open up emotional channels within his body. He learns to integrate this energy so it is not congested in the heart and solar plexus. Over time this energy works its way downward to become a fully activated astral body.

Male experience:

His ego is screaming that he is making a fool of himself. He has been giving and giving of his time and energy without getting anything in return. He has tried to hold himself to the high goal of finding the perfect woman but she doesn’t seem to exist anywhere.

Just when he has given up in defeat he receives a burst of pure female emotional energy that envelops him in an aura of spiritual light and love. It is a spiritual experience and inspires him to generate more emotional love energy. This allows him to build up a permanent astral body.

Female experience:

She enjoys having him around because he gives her energy to help her through the day. She dreams of someday meeting the right person. She thinks about who would be right for her and who would be right for him. He is a nice person and he should have somebody nice too.

The time comes when she knows exactly the type of life she wants and the type of man she wants to share it with. She creates it in the astral as her potential future. Satisfied with that she gives the rest of her excess emotional energy freely away to him as pure emotional energy.
