July 6-8, 2014: Two of Disks
-
(HARMONIOUS) CHANGE
Two of DisksMeditation Pattern: Place Atu X, Fortune, and Atu XV, The Devil, side-by-side, with the 2 of Disks above them.
Traditional Description: Two wheels, disks, or pentacles, similar to that of the Ace. They are united by a green-and-gold serpent (holding its tail in its mouth), bound about them like a figure 8. No roses enter into this card. Above and below are the symbols Jupiter and Capricorn. It is a revolving symbol.
Chokmah of Earth: Change, cyclicity. Visit to friends, journeys, wandering.
Jupiter/Capricorn: The harmony of change. Alternation of gain and loss, weakness and strength. Ever-changing occupation; discontented with any fixed condition of things. Now elated, then melancholic; industrious, yet unreliable. Responsible, trustworthy, dutiful; fortunate through prudence of management; yet sometimes unaccountably foolish. Basically kind, yet wavering and inconsistent.
Chokmah + Jupiter: Fortunate change, independence, realization (enlightenment of perspective), fortunate ideas; impulse toward the new; intuitive and forward-looking.

- As I closed my eyes after looking at the cards for couple of brief moments, I instantly found myself inside an intensely vivid “vision” of a sort: I’m in a wide space of canyon-like rocks, and in the presence of enormous in size Egyptian god-forms, who are all seated – I don’t see them, don’t know how many of them there are, but I know they are here, their presence dominates the experience; I look at the landscape and admire its beauty; I see Anubis on my right side now; I tell him that I want to gain insight about the Tarot Arcana Two-of-Discs; he starts to laugh and laughs loud, and then tells me that human beings invented gods; his words transfer me to a vision-experience of starry essence of every man/woman nature (it’s hard to describe, there were no pictures or forms as such, but there was something akin to color-lights, like turquoise-green-blue spraklings/light-specks in utter darkness); then I see a huge snake, intertwining its body in the form of 8, in constant motion; I see it as if it is on a horizontal plane before me, its body seems like made of light and crystal at the same time, shining bluish; it’s magnificent; this motion is endless, nature is Change, energy and matter are the same “substance” and are indestructible, but are in continuous motion, which we perceive as processes, and which has it rhythms – this comes as insight without words by looking at this marvelous snake; then the vision suddenly completely stops, I feel like I’m literally dragged-out of it.
I thanked Tahuti and thus finished the meditation.
- Reversal of circumstances; change of “luck”; new Stream, or a new Phase of the ongoing process.
- Being in tune with the cyclicity of own developmental processes (practical wisdom gained from astrology!).
- Willingly choosing Change in a particular life-situation, as a way of healthy approach to circumstances.
- Renewal; recovery; cleansing from attachments to material things and circumstances (it may come through loss or gain, all the same).
- Change of social status; beginning of a new project; may be as the Hexagram 49 in I Ching.
- This is the initial flesh into which the Word of Magus turns!
- Stability: key-word of this Motion which is Harmonious Change.
- Change of Aeons, change of the inspiring, governing, leading etc. Ideas and Principles.
- Beauty, such sublime Beauty! It reminds me of the distinct feeling of admiration & wonder when I see with how perfect precision astrological prognostic techniques manifest in time.
- All Gods holding hands in a large circle-wheel (kolo), and they dance, dance; this is how worlds are created…
- When something reaches its peak, it turns into its opposite; this law is inherent in the I Ching, and it is true for all in Nature.
- Endless spiral of Motion; Hadit exploring all possibilities…
- This is the motion of everything, of all bodies in the infinite vastness of Nuit; and it is initiated by Love and Love keeps it going, and it is filled with Ecstasy (every particular being in it is drunk with this Love in its motion, so “drowned”/swimming into it that there’s even no direct recognition of it!).
