Introducing The Elements
At the very core of the tarot are the four elements and the tarot aces and this post explores their journey from the natural world to the esoteric; and gives examples of how you experience the elements in your everyday life to how through the four elements, they have been adapted and incorporated with our spiritual pursuits, namely the metaphysical and the tarot.
The Elemental Dignities Mini Series
This mini series introduces you to the concept of elemental dignities from selecting just one card and looking at its divinatory definitions and meanings, its numerology, astrology and elemental association. This is brought to life by asking real questions and using the tarot card drawn to answer them.
By adding an additional card, Part Two of this Elemental Dignities Mini Series shows you how the tarot cards interact. Now seen as a two card combination, it looks at how the elements interact with each other, and how this interaction changes and affects the questions asked in Part One.
Adding the third and final card to make a three card combination, called a triplet or triad, this mini series shows you how to read these three tarot cards using elemental dignities, again looks at how this changes the interpretations given when applied to the questions introduced in the Part One and reinterpreted in Part Two.
