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! Let’s not go too far too fast. Shall we steep a bit?
I wonder more if it is in fact the reverse. Could be a Both/And as well, though the flip, the mirror of the above feels more apt. I feel the Divine Masculine Creates, the Divine Feminine manifests.
Ok, let’s pause right here. Yup, Both/And. It takes two to Tango. Functionally-Inter-related-Component-Parts (FICP) assembling with a fluid fluency and living dynamism.
~ Arche is the creating, the first spark of an idea. It is formless and can = inception. The Creating.
Techne Makes
~ Techne is the making, the putting together OF that idea. It gives form to the formlessness and can = conception. The Making.
Creates: 1st-sparks, inspires, and imagines a Lotus
Creates = brings into being such as an idea, and it is formless as it is still in the mind… to create.
Makes: grows a Lotus out of the mud
Makes (or manifests) = brings formlessness into form, soulfully spiriting matter with identity gestating… Not born yet, though…
To Create, To Make, To Gestate To Full Term, Birth, Naming
all together = 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.
Divine Feminine creates, Divine Masculine manifests? Or, the other way ‘round. Or, Both/And?

Sequencing Individuation Through the Tarot
Or,
Individuation Sequencing Through Tarot
Does the Order Matter?
Please Comment
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/heart energy from The Place of Creation.
It is the Mag, then, that is about inception. The High Priestess gives form to the formlessness of The Magician’s first spark inception. Call it sperm and ovum. The High Priestess, then, is about about conception after The Mag’s inception.

And then of course we move to The Empress and Emperor. She creates By carrying to full term and emanating from her Yoniverse. He makes by establishing place, Genius Loci.
Inception to Conception
And, What of Birth & Naming & etc.?
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 simply track right through them. Each and every step on this trail can open up expansive journeys of further study and experience.

May the ground rise up to support your every step, especially your inspired and expansive steps where there wears no ground there before you stepped. The Fool. Repeat the above as required. Shift focus, redirect scale. It’s your life, your way. Like The Mystereum Sun card, The SUn card. It’s you, as only you can be.
journey, natural expressions, natural new directions, Psychic Synapse of magical twilight
How Would YOU Order the Tarot?
Or, in what sequence have you experienced individuation?
Do you gravitate towards some card stations more than others?
Do you resonate with some more than others?
Do you avoid some card stations?
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? Is this necessary? Is this helpful?
And, if you do the switcheroo with Strength and Justice, VIII XI card flip-flop, how would you revise the above? Is one a basic foundation of the other, and thus necessitates it coming prior? Or, do you swim in the chicken or the egg story in regards to the sequence of Strength and Justice relative to which one’s VIII and which one’s XI?
What things do you create? What do you make from your creations? Are they informed by your individuation? Or, is individuation like practice and warm-up, where the warm-up is most likely not part of the performance?
Listening to the Mystereum cards speak, resonant like an epic movie.
Tarot in the Land of Mystereum. It’s all about discovering your Inner Inheritances.

Sanctuary of Self: Creating the Making
DAYum! Now, What cards go with what I am about to do?!
by Jordan Hoggard
Imbolc + Architecture + Tarot = Sanctuary of Self: Creating the Making
… where Imbolc can = a Gaelic festival celebrating the Goddess Brighid marking the beginning of spring
… where Architecture can = its Greek roots of arche and techne where arche is the creating, the first-spark of an idea, the inception AND techne is the making, the putting together of that idea in form, the conception.
… where Tarot can = a perpetual well-Spring that naturalizes Self… We are not broken when there is no hole in our soul. We are whole and complete and resonant relationships enhance our freedom… where rather than armor for protection there is healing born of integrated armor. Integrated armor is health.
So, it is simple, really, what cards go with this? The Magician’s intense focus for Imbolc,… though isn’t focus somehow formless? Well, yes, get to the damn blog! ,,, and The High Priestess’ giving form to that formlessness. Oh, I see, first there must be that formless 1st-spark of full-on focused idea, and then there is the full-on giving of form to that formless. Though, WHAT ABOUT effin results and fruition!?! Everything’s process! Well, everthing is ALL IS about process … Oh, I see, Ye Olde arche – techne game…. and, not to worry… the Empress coming to full term from her Yoniverse of which all else emanates will be there … So, Imbolc. SpringaComingOn… Hop into your Magician~Priestess~Empress… not to worry. The Emperor was out on Holiday.

Tarot
Tarot induces the Creating. We are each the Making always in the making. All similar, each unique. Always complete, never finished… while continually driving consequences expressed in results… results that continually create, so we can make, so we can put things together. We are Divine, and thus we divine. Tarot cards flash as shooting stars through the mind like…Star light, star bright…
Tarot light, Tarot bright. First Tarot card I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, divine the wish I have tonight.
With an image like Joanna Powell Colbert’s at the link… nuff said.
Architecture
Tarot cards can be seen as cardboard Source Magnets. With Tarot cards the Temple In (Wo)Man is nourished, washed in the ablution of wonderment given form in each turn of a card. With this nourishment from Source we continually heal AS each new cycle of our wholeness. We are each the Creating itself. We are each the Making. We are each the Creating and the Making in and as our Divinity.
May Tarot nourish the highest and lowest of your life-octaves.
May every card back remind you of Source, of potential, of innate talent present. May every card turned over further assist you to develop your innate talents into effective abilities.
Always complete, Never finished. Each birth is brilliant in its age, in that which came before that is present to nourish and root the now… for flying as high as your roots go deep. Allow the still waters in your cards running deep and silent flowing to heal your worry and direct your insight to be the heartbeat of every action. Dream while awake with your Tarot cards. Have that instant theosophic vision of the lapis of the card back that when turned over is a dream born and birthing psychic gold. Direct your dreams. Aim your insight outwardly to affect healthy and responsive results. Water confirms to its cup they say. Fill the cup around you with aimed insight. Discover a card anew each time you rediscover it by turning it over. Turn each card over and feel the health of 78 Card-Magnets of Source living in the the sanctuary that is you… and further nourishing you each time you do. This is especially helpful to nourish your readings for others. Water your empathy seeds with experience, fresh experience.
Your next stop is Morgan Drake Eckstein’s Gleamings from the Golden Dawn Tarot blog.

Weekly Tarot Inspired Questions
Enjoy this week’s exercises of questions as your blueprints of sanctuaries to engage life more fully.
Astro Suggestion Tip
If you know your Moon and Rising Signs (Ascendant / ASC), read those Tarot Inspired Questions, too. I find them to be most helpful in composing a more applicable Tarot card and Astro combo that more resonantly works with your overall personality. And, if you’re like me and have your Moon conjunct your ASC in the same sign, do them twice or simply give them double umph to engage them more potently.
Tarot Inspired Questions
for
Your Jan 26th to Feb 1st 2014 Week
After you experience your Tarot Inspired Questions, please participate in my poll at the bottom. Thanks!

Question asking tips:
~ “What” kinds of questions are often about substance, tangible gigs, the nature of what you want to manifest. ~ “Why” kinds of questions often work with exploring motivations, intents, will, and planning. ~ “How” kinds of questions are often about discerning how to take action, create workability, establish means & methods to implement priorities.

What established inner light do you have that is so big and so there you may miss it at times? …like an inner sun you are so fully accustomed to that you might “overlook” it.. like saying “daytime” which implies the sun though doesn’t necessarily make you think about the sun. What established inner light do you have that is so big and so there you may miss it at times?
Why do some expectations cause you to lose sight of your established inner light? An active remedy to this may be Christiana C. Gaudet‘s sanctuary of a statement: “Don’t let your emotions dictate how you feel.” Why do some expectations cause you to lose sight of your established inner light?
How do you respond best from the place of your established inner light?

Why do places like plateaus accentuate how you keep yourself together and discern things without outside influences prompting you to do so?

Tarot Inspired Questions
for
Your Jan 5th to Jan 11th 2014 Week
First off, ask yourself these four questions I have modified that were originally penned for buildings by Christian Norberg Schulz:
How do I stand on the ground?
How do I reach for the sky?
How do I extend to the sides?
How do I open and close?
With the answers or feelings or experiences you received when posing those 4 questions to yourself, I’ve cooked up for a question scenario for you to play around with and dance into the above four questions for each card. See how your weekly card can inform each of the 4 questions. Have fun, and see where the sanctuaries built by these questions can take you this week!
Capricorn: Dec 22 to Jan 19 ~ 9 of Pentacles
Note the wormhole as an homage reference to The World in the distance like a view from inside an obelisk looking up

Aquarius: Jan 20 to Feb 18 ~ 10 of Pentacles
solid completion at hand, prosperity, close relationships, ability to share

I suggest that if you know your Moon and Rising Signs (Ascendant / ASC) to read those Imagination Tools, too. I find them to be most helpful in composing a more applicable Tarot card and Astro combos that more resonantly reflect your (astro) personality.
Your Royal Court = Your Higher Self, your highest and best actions for your purpose.
Switching things up a bit to come up with new Imagination Tools to keep things fresh last week was fun! Let’s do it again! I’ve provided an exercise I find very interesting and useful. Enjoy!
First off, ask yourself these four questions I have modified that were originally penned for buildings by Christian Norberg Schulz:
How do I stand on the ground?
How do I reach for the sky?
How do I extend to the sides?
How do I open and close?
With the answers or feelings or experiences you received when posing those 4 questions to yourself, I’ve cooked up for a question scenario for you to play around with and dance into the above four questions for each card. Have fun, and see where sanctuaries built by questions can take you this week!
Looking up from inside the obelisk, complete cycles, expansive, infinite
Aquarius, While playing or listening to your favorite music and / or doing that which you most love this week, how do you get a glimpse of your eternal Self?
intuition, forming, giving form to the formless, conception (to the Mag’s inception), fully grounded out-of-body experiences as a matter of course naturally
Gemini, This week, how can you best give form to something that has been formless to further your insight?
Notice the medulla oblongata moving to integrate from the unconscious, established inner light, expectation, emotional pressure filled, tears becoming sacred adornments
Cancer, How does your established inner light appear in the forefront of your life when your grace s not held hostage?
directed focus of energies chosen, seeing past tricksters and decoys
Leo, In overwhelming situations how can you best play air traffic controller in chaos-central so that may little things are orchestrated rather than being perceived as one, big thing?
valiant feelings, confident expressions, incorporating emotion on the move
Scorpio, How can you more effectively incorporate your emotions this week so that they do not determine how you feel to balance and tune the timing of everything you do?
How do your Tarot Imagination Toolquestions enhance your Tarot voice this week? Please comment.
If you know your Ascendant (ASC) / Rising Sign and Moon, I suggest that you may want to read those Imagination Tools, too, and play with those Imagination Tools and cards together. The ASC and Moon often provide messages that enhances the sun sign in ways that flesh out things more resonantly. I find them most helpful.

The Black Crucible of the Magician
by Jordan Hoggard
The Black Crucible of The Magician! WHAT?! What is THAT? What is the Black Crucible of The Magician? Well…
Notice the eclipse WITHIN the sun, and the magically watching eye-wings as vision to take you new places… focus so intense that it dilates time to open
who you were when you were born, Self, return, identity, bright success in context
[[[ Do a slideshow video speaking the meditation ]]]
Close your eyes. Visualize the big bowl of your night sky as a huge, black crucible you look up into. Visualize your huge night sky with stars as an immense forming-vessel, as a …Black Crucible gifted by The Magician and his first-sparks of ideas. Then, visualize your own shooting star to strike across and square your circle of this big, black bowl of your night sky. Remember this shooting star as a 1st spark of inspiration. Allow this 1st spark of inspiration to brighten you as it disappears into the darkness.
Remember the 1st-spark shooting star. Visualize that shooting star AS the 1st spark of ALL ideas. Remember the shooting star cascading across your night sky. As you remember that shooting star, slow its instantaneous coming and going down. Slow that shooting star down as you watch it slowly cross your night sky like Inner State Highways TV. Watch it and smile. Watch it and imagine. Now… imagine it starting across the sky, the Black Crucible again. Bring your shooting star to mind and focus on it. Like candle gazing, bring your shooting star to mind and see it up close. Get wonderfully lost in its infinity of tinyness and distance as you cascade yourself to it up close.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Now, with it slowed down so you fully experience it, engage yourself to flex your temples smiling into it again… this time flexing your temples to imagine it in up close like a candle flame. As you begin to imagine it again, slow down your big bowl of night sky that is around it. Watch the whole scene as the shooting star appears and slowly, slowly moves across your big bowl of night sky. Slowly. Slowly. Slowly. And, it is gone again. Bring it back to mind again up close like a candle’s flame. Go through its magical cycle of life, its magical cycle as it dives into you through your imagination. Experience the full cascade of energies of a shooting star seen up close frame by frame. Run slowly through the star’s cascade across your sky again as you count to 9 across its path.
Settle your shooting star into your imagination in its own orbit. Recall it when you need a shot of inspiration. Remember the shooting star each time as it plays slowly in long-form each time you have an idea. Remember this slow-form of your idea to gear into ITS mode of cycles before you jump in and write it down. Feel its presence on its terms. Feel its presence on your terms. Adjust to the pace and rhythm of each idea you have this way. Slowly gear into each idea as that shooting star across your sky and up close. Shift focus and redirect scale as you feel to or simply do… as you steer yourself to jot down the remembrance of its own particular ways, of its own particular ways enhancing your own, particular ways. What are its identifying qualities? Does it have a name to remember it by?
Now, identify and think of something you struggle with or a challenge you enjoy AS this shooting star. No need to stay Tarot related now at this point in the meditation. You have almost gone all night in these brief moments. Visualize the morning twilight. Visualize the Psych Synapse invisi-bridge of night to day in the twilight dawn. Raise your hands up stretching like the sun stretches across the twilight horizon to birth the day. Take 4 deep breaths. 1 2 3 4. And, in your 5th breath, your chaos-central air-traffic control breath, feel all of these things come together in seamlessly synchromeshed orbits. Think about opening your eyes. Simply think about opening your eyes as the sun thinks about the day right before it comes over the event horizon of the twilight dawn. Now slowly. Slowly. Slowly open your eyes as you inhale through your nose. As you are open your eyes, jot down an idea that comes to you right now, any idea.
Ask yourself: “How can I actively utilize this idea to really begin to express the particular core of this idea? How is this idea a primary connective tissue throughout all of my actions and influence. What is ts essence? What one noun comes to mind? Write that noun down.
Now, write it down again with the word “to” in front of it to make an infinitive, a baby policy, an expression of the form-giving dna of one of your priorities. If your word was “dream,” then wrote down “to dream.” If your word was clarity, write down “to clarity.” Make your noun into a verb as you awaken inhaling through your nose flexing your temples to the new light in the day of this meditation.
Now, there’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is that you have an idea. The bad news is now you’ve gotta actively breathe life into it and build foundations under its dream.
Take a few moments to say nothing. Simply look around your space right at your fingertips and a little further and as far as you can see. Write down the three close, near, and far away things that catch your eye first. Allow these three things to tell you of an action you can take to bring your idea to life.
Smile. Breathe. Flex your temples. You are through the dark night. Now, work your idea through the day.
Cheers to your successes always. All the Best to You. You are your own Royal Court. May the Black Crucible of the Magician always show you how best to get the rubber to meet the road with your ideas from start to finish. Start to finish. Always complete, never finished… Now, start… to finish. Start to Finish.
Even in a card with no people, there’s still always one…You, looking in through the portal. ~ Jordan Hoggard

“Adversity does not build character. It reveals it.” ~ James Lane Allen [[I think he ripped this from Aristotle, who probably ripped it from the Egyptians, who… the Moors or Ancient Aliens? How far do quotes and their concepts go back?]] I’m glad to have discovered that James Lane Allen said it. I buy into the lineage.

The Queen of Wands. True empathy without handing yourself over to the other. The Queen of Wands. True and full and confident perspective with natural leadership through and through.
~ END OF BLOG. The below is reference material from The Presence of the Priestess.” …except for a couple of… minor, experiential edits.~
The High Priestess plays 10 parts in The Land of Mystereum, 10 very specifically different roles. This came about from the amazing breadth and great deal of work I felt The High Priestess performs naturally in her role as the one who gives form to the formless. Tha Magician sparked inception, whereas The High Priestess then form-gave conception. It felt very natural to let the presence of the Priestess naturalize itself throughout these 9 perennial cards in The Land of Mystereum.
1. The High Priestess appearance. As herself The High Priestess gives form to the formless connected to ground and sky, above and below? Conception. A visual story of an out-of-body experience or across-every-scale as a natural and total mode for this card.
2. The Empress appearance. The High Priestess golden and pregnant connected not to ground and sky here, but to the two Empress Yoni-verse trees, carrying out the function she began in the completion of the task of The Empress’ “carrying to full term.”
3. The Temperance appearance. We see The High Priestess’ unconscious workings, the creature forces of the unconscious, brought forth into the light of day to layer in another dimension of vast connection. The vast connection of above with below. The vast connection of unconscious with conscious. Temperance then as a metaphor for unconscious contents utilized naturally and consciously?
4. The Moon appearance. The Priestess up close focuses on the drawing-down-the-moon ritual.
5. The 6 of Pentacles appearance, 2 of her. The epic spiral of giving and receiving. The Priestess sisters as two facets of her personality in more casual black and lavendar robe garb to continually spin-juggle Pentacle-worlds in this epic exchange.
6. The 6 of Wands appearance. The Priestess, having drawn down the moon resonates from its other side to cascade an exchange of new energies down into your process. Papesse? As, here The High Priestess is performing what is traditionally a Hierophant function of bringing spirit to the earth, yet in your Wands, in your Minor Arcana, in your everday life. Present in the Minors is the Priestess exalting new qualities to enliven your down-to-earth spirit?
7. The Queen of Wands appearance. Sees through mirage clearly and naturally. Feels the full-on whole ‘nother world in a simple reflection. Life inside the mirror, a whole ‘nother universe there? Note, though, that the reflections here are not symmetrical reversing one another like in a traditional mirror. Mirror mirror on the wall . . . with NO competition. The Priestess plays this Queen with her mirror-magic of above and below, outside the mirror and at one and the same time within yourself. The High Priestess focuses identity here to express a magical and clear nature in her energetic vision. The High Priestess is wholly transformed here. Suffice it to say, The Queen of Wands Gets ‘er done! NOW THE MAGICAL MIRRORING OF NATURAL AND FULL-ON EMPATHY.
8. The Queen of Cups appearance. And, in The Queen of Cups the Priestess fulfillingly emerges from her cup, fulfillment carried to full term? She is akin to a living Nautilus in the sea of emotion present to brightly wash through like great weather. Also, have you noticed the Calla Lily energy coming from her hands as she moves through these cards? The Calla Lily. One of the few asymmetrical flowers. Beautiful. SO stunningly beautiful a flower.
9. King of Cups appearance. And, The High Priestess finishes her World Tour 2010 of The Land of Mystereum emerging as the emotionally infused strength emanating from the King of Cups’ bicep. That goes places for me. More than Jungian anima, the female spirit within the male. More a mindbodybeautiful strength present in this King.
Oh, and Lest We Miss Subtlety
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
10. The World appearance in a slideshow of The High Priestess, The World, and Strength. One of those hands up top in The World belongs to The High Priestess… and by the way, the other comes from Strength. Which is which?
This post was originally
This post was originally The Presence of the Priestess. Reminiscing on creating Mystereum… I drew 2 cards. The 7 of Pentacles from the top Stone Card and The Magican pulsing as the heartbeat of the 7 of Pentacles from the bottom Treasure Card.
quiet watchfulness, pause, higher sight within an above, “Depth of Above” (c) The Tarot School. “Depth of Beyond” (c) 2019 Jordan Hoggard
intuition, forming, giving form to the formless, conception (to the Mag’s inception), fully grounded out-of-body experiences as a matter of course naturally
I feel that with the High Priestess’ grounded out of body experience coupled with the Queen of Wands and then those two coupled with the 7 of Pentacles and The Magician… it feels like I received a glimpse of eternity. It feels like I received an Inner Yod, the address of God. I wonder if that address shows up on Google Maps? 😉
Hope you have enjoyed this segment
Hope you have enjoyed this segment of The Land of Mystereum Image Lineage as part of “The Presence Of” series where Major Arcana characters make a variety of appearance both bold and subtle throughout The Land of Mystereum! Till Next Time.
