These are the cards which seem to appear most often in my own personal readings. I try daily to live up to the wonderful qualities these cards suggest:

The Star. (Perhaps not so ironically, Kochava, my Hebrew name, means Star)

This is the Star card from the Aleister Crowley-Thoth Tarot deck, which was painted by Frieda Harris. The deck took she and Crowley five years to finish.

"Key Words:Aquarius, crystallization, self-recognition, radiating, trust in the self, connection to universal intelligence.

This card represents a beautiful process. Cosmic inspiration of the highest nature is received and made manifest on the material plane. The card is ruled by Aquarius. The medium, or water carrier in this process, is represented by the star goddess Nuith. She is fully open to the input from the spiritual plane, and passes it on in full service to the highest good. She is the channel used by divine energy to manifest on earth. In each hand she holds a cup through which the spiral vortices of energy pour. Her hair acts as an antenna to extend perception and flows to the earth, carrying with it the inspiration of the cosmic.

A new, crystal-clear vision lends form and purpose to that which a moment ago was only a vague impression. You gain a more penetrating view into the boundless potential of your development. The power of the inspiration you receive gives wings to your soul and lets the apparently impossible become manifest in marvelous ways.

A person led by this wisdom exudes such a quality of being, such a radiation, that other people are drawn as if by a magnet. The sheer force of spiritual transformation causes the masks of personality and the limitations of the small "I" to become meaningless. Stubborn willfulness and fear can be dropped as the water bearer gives herself up, more and more, to the workings of the newly freed spirit.

The receptive antennas must, however, be subjected regularly to careful purifying and cleansing. If reception is disturbed by self-seeking tendencies, the tremendous energies at hand can have a devastating effect. Enthusiasm may become fanaticism inspiration may become illusion. The emotions need to be watchfully observed. Just as the water flows from the cup of Nuith and turns to crystals, so must the emotions become crystallized. This means they must be clearly and definitely grasped. This cannot happen if you repress and control emotions, but only if you allow emotional unfolding to take place (symbolized by the rose blossoms). The butterflies, symbols of transformation, indicate that your own view of things will change and become liberated from the bonds of old conditioning." --from Tarot: Mirror of the Soul, by Gerd Ziegler.
