The 6 of Pentacles’ Pentacle Juggling Team sent me an Inner Voicemail message today. As I watched them through the card portal up in their Mystereum sky spin-juggling their Pentacles, a chord composed of both of their voices drifted down to me…
(c) 2010 Jordan Hoggard The exchange of an epic spiral of giving and receiving.
“Note the health of your relationships by how naturally you feel a reciprocal exchange inherent, how wonderfully you feel an epic spiral of giving and receiving. Without having to keep count, feel the solid balance in our healthy exchange. Feel into yours. Gift yourself the quality to not be afraid to receive. Give smilingly. Receive graciously. Depletion indicates misspent efforts.”

So, I am thinking that semantics are just that… Some antics
… but not here. Creation and manifestation are not the same thing.
I’ve Heard
I’ve heard…The Divine Feminine creates, the Divine Masculine manifests. This can be supported by the natural leadership of the Queens and the implementation orders of the Kings. But wait!
architecture = arche and techne.
~ Arche is the creating, the first spark of an idea. It is formless and can = inception.
~ Techne is the making, the putting together OF that idea. It is giving form to the formlessness and can = conception.
Creates = brings into being like an idea and it is formless as it is still in the mind… to create.
Manifests or makes = bringing formlessness into form, spiriting matter soulfully… to manifest.

Subtle Distinctions
There is a subtle distinction between “to create” and “to make,” though also a hefty one at their conceptual base. People often utilize “create” and “make” as synonyms, and though they are in the same family, they are not the same. They are complementary in the process… like supplementary angles = 180 degrees, and complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9zUbWPqVpc (embedding disabled by request). One is, say, 120 degrees and then the other is 60 degrees to make the supplementary sum of 180 with 120. They are not the same, though they contribute to the 180 or final product… they manifest or make the supplementary relationship in total. Like tossing up a tennis ball and serving an ace. Two things that taste great together. Like creating and making, they work together, though they are not the same.
Interesting with the Tarot that in regards to statement, “The Divine Feminine creates, the Divine Masculine manifests?,” there is a role reversal in regards to this with The Magician and The High Priestess… where The Magician is the first spark on the table in the Place of Creation bringing forth the formless and weightless idea to orbit in mind/psyche from The Place of Creation. Is the Mag then about inception? And, The High Priestess gives form to the formlessness of The Magician’s first spark. Can the High Priestess then be about conception?

And then of course move to The Empress and Emperor, and She creates emanating from her Yoniverse while He makes by establishing place.
Inception to Conception
Inception to conception, if so from The Magician to The High Priestess… Then, of course on to The Empress where the Priestess’ form is carried to full term to be birthed and emanate from the Yoniverse… Then, from that here is a little Tarot Psychology individuation sketch outline…

~ to The Fool or…
How Would YOU Order…
How would you order your Tarot suits before continuing this sketch exercise?
Would you go suit by suit? If so, how do you order the suits? Earth Air Water Fire? Pentacles Swords Cups Wands.
Personally, I prefer to order them like a creation story: Earth Water Air Fire. Pentacles Cups Swords Wands, though ask me again tomorrow. Not flippant, simply perspective that continually evolves from experiences.
How does this allude to psychological development?… Does it need to assume individuation?
And, if you do the switcheroo with Strength and Justice, VIII XI card flip-flop, how would you revise the above?
What things do you create? What do you make from your creations?
Listening to the Mystereum cards speak, resonant like an epic movie.

So, I am thinking that semantics are just that… Some antics
I take no issue with channeling, though… wasn’t it a mere 20 years ago when someone would have referred to the same thing as, “My my you’re creative.” Personally, and though I believe in a Muse as the Cosmic Informant from who-knows-where harkening from The Place Of Creation… I still must take responsibility for the things I say. I cannot say, “Oh, I channelled that.” What does that MEAN?!! “I channelled that.” Or, “Did you channel that?” Sure I have NO frickin clue where some ideas come from, though… why not be comfortable with the not-knowing and continue in your creative process? Personally, you gotta own the shit you express, and channelling has NO footnotes. Oh, maybe I like it, then.
(c) 2010 Jordan Hoggard
Random card pulled for the sake of having an image for this post. Hmmm… not so random, huh? Yep, the cards don’t lie. Though of course I did NOT channel it. I drew it. First., when I literally paint-drew it in 2005, then again in 2009, and it pops up here for this post. The M.O. of the grounded out-of-body experience of the High Priestess does not channel. She knows and not-knows all too well that she is connected. Oh, and yeah, I drew it. No, I did not channel it. The Place of Creation shines on the BITCh work. Butt In The Chair. Butt In The Chair. Sounds a lot more fun than discipline of the ritual… and is no diff. There those Some Antics go again, huh?
Why channel when you can create and make? Personally, it is MUCH more rewarding.

The King of Pentacles sent me an Inner Voicemail message today…
“I am the King of Pentacles. I am the Master builder. To build things masterfully I also need good and solid ground. The natural, down-to-earth leader of my Queen, the Queen of Pentacles, instructs how worthwhile things take time to come to fruition, and further to naturalize. She leads with her exquisite Master Gardener qualities where… First year roots. Second year foliage. Third year fruits and flowers. Her garden is naturalized as are we, and always becoming more so. We share valuable time and care to attend to that. We take our time to solidly feel a full understanding of one another before responding. Some call this respect and listening. We find it to be more about dismissing pesky idealism and assumptive expectations as we wanting to build something solid together without unnecessary hassles. I keep her in mind as I build. She keeps “exquisite and just so” in mind as she Gaias the garden with genius loci.
You see many things happen unexpectedly when building something. We find unpredictability to be sexy as hell. We find unpredictability minus common courtesy to equate to unreliability. With our reciprocality coupled with a “no news is good news” mantra from the Queen of Swords, worry has no place in our world. Things are, or they are not, even as they are coming into being being built. We have the utmost concern at times. Concern is not the hairy wart of worry, though. Our concerns fuel our focus, our solid focus.

“In my fulfilling relationship with my wonderfully protective figure of inner abundance King of Cups, each of us is in harmony with our emotional and intuitive realms.

The 8 of Swords, air and mind and intellect with Swords, can very much indicate a plateau of communications. This plateau can present false summits and as well can be a place to explore and expand communications like on a mountain park.
Deceptive Simplicity
Is this 8 of Swords simply a geometric composition of Swords with no people to add quality-of-use gestures or personification to the meaning? How are you with subtlety that is so big and so there you might just miss it?
So Big and So There
Yes, there is certainly a cascading composition of Swords. What else is there?
What Else Is There?
Do you see the Eye in the Sky? What about the Shadow Hand reaching across the lavender lake across purple mountains majesty and into the stormy sky? What about the…
8 of Swords and the Shadow Hand
What do you see in this 8 of Swords image?
Personally, I feel there is always at least one person in each of these Tarot cards. You, peering through the architectural portal into a magical world. Happy Alice-ing!
Imagination Primer Snippet … from the companion book
“… a positive change of mind that manifests towards your troubles. …We are one of the rest stops for The Fool. He has brought a great many of his discoveries here. We have many perspectives that communicate together to be experienced as a single group. The Fools’ discoveries shed light on and release us from the prison of our expectations. We like to call ourselves The Little Anti-Tower. We live to act in the moment here!”
(c) 2010 Jordan Hoggard, excerpted from Tarot in the Land of Mystereum‘s 192-page Imagination Primer companion book included in the deck package.
Do You Ever Take Time…
