Than the World

Than is our twenty second and final letter of the Hebrew Alphabet and Hieroglyph of The Tarot. Than is associated with the Earth element and The Universe or World card of the Tarot. In the scheme of the Tetragrammaton Than is active in nature. Than as a hieroglyph is a breast. It is the all accepting (expecting) bosom. Than is the willingness to receive in the context of all reality, rather than the context of the sensory perception.

Like our World that contains everything within it we need, Than contains the previous twenty one Hieroglyphs within it. It is the four elements in balance. A completion of a spiritual vision quest!

Congratulations to Cougina who just completed one awesome spiritual vision quest.

Blessed Be All,
Alan

Shin The Fool

Shin is our twenty first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet and Hieroglyph of The Tarot. Shin is associated the element of Air and The Fool card of the Tarot. In the scheme of the Tetragrammaton Shin is neutral in nature. Shin as a hieroglyph is a Arrow. In Gemantria Shin has a value of 300 and zero. The zero comes from the fact that Shin does not originate from any other arcanum.

Shin is an arrow in indefinite flight, undecided then incapable of following through on decision, beyond control of self, the a conceptualization of the means on how to follow through, and finally the implementation of them.

This card represents both the beginning and the end of the Tarot in the context of the study toward achieving total Unity with Self (body, mind and soul). It does not achieve it for you but it is used to describe the process of spiritual evolution in the relation to the little I self, and it literally travels through he rest of the Arcana to become itself again with the knowledge of purpose and means to achieve completion.
