March 13-15, 2012: Ace of Disks
-
THE ROOT OF
THE POWERS OF THE EARTH
Ace of DisksMeditation Pattern: Place the Ace of Disks between Atu XXI, The Universe, and Atu V, The Hierophant.
Qabalistic Correspondences: The seed or root of elemental Earth. Kether of Earth, or Kether in Assiah.
Traditional Description: A White Radiant Angelic Hand, holding a rose tree branch, whereon is a large Disk formed of five concentric circles. The innermost circle is white, charged with a red Greek cross. From this white center, 12 white rays issue; these terminate at the circumference, making the whole resemble an astrological figure of the heavens. It is surmounted by a small circle, above which is a large white Maltese cross, and with two white wings. Four crosses and two buds are shown. The Hand issues from the clouds as in the other three cases.
Meaning: It represents materiality in all senses, good and evil; and is, therefore, in a sense, illusionary. It shows material gain, power, labor, wealth, contentment, etc.; but matter, it must be remembered, is entirely of the substance of Spirit, and of the Creative Light of the Sun.

No better time than the present!
As Shariyf mentioned a while back, you can start from the beginning, regardless of what everyone else is doing... or start with what's current and have the community involvement. (Let's see, which one would you pick...? <g>)
Jump in! (Ace of Wands runs through Thursday.)

giving the update on this meditation, a little late...
I picked starting with this card, the Ace of Disks, instead of going to the beginning. I don't have anything obvious to contribute from the actual meditation. However, I have noticed that my life has taken a new direction...like the seed and first sprouting of a new direction...hmmm

New direction. Me too.
The Universe in the Thoth deck always strikes me a little differently than that of the BOTA deck. There's only dancing in the BOTA deck. But in the Thoth deck, you have the snake and the sharp hook that are reminders of harsher aspects of reality. Taking a step back, however, to view the whole, there's the beauty of the Universe functioning in the only way it can - functioning exactly as it should.
When I add the Hierophant to the previous key, it seems to add guidance. Without the Hierophant, it's as if one could get lost and eaten in the Universe without ever even understanding why. With the addition of the Hierophant, the vast and seemingly divergent forces of the universe are understood, navigated, and implemented toward a purposeful work.
In the Ace of Disks, we then see the seed of that work represented.
