The ‘simple’ Tree of Life ten card spread is fabulous for charting a spiritual path through any period of change or challenge. For those of us of a witchy persuasion, one can as easily start at the top as the bottom - the materiality of the earthbound tenth Sephiroth, Malkuth, is just as much to be celebrated as the ungraspable immateriality of the first, Kether, at the top of the tree.
I do not entirely know what this about but I suggest contemplating it with the Nell Smith/Flaming Lips cover album as accompaniment.
What, we might ask ourselves, is the task for tomorrow (middle card)? And what will trip us up (left card) or provide a superpower to keep us on track (right card)?
“The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The Four of Discs is very much a “what you make it” sort of energy. It’s a foundation, four walls, a blocking off of possibilities and a launching pad all at the same time. The Golden Dawn assigned it to Sun in Capricorn. Think of a deep rooted seed breaking through to the surface. This Four has the best of that Saturnian heft but aligned with the growth inspiring Sun.
It’s certainly true that when a much-longed greenshoot or outcome doesn’t happen (Two of Discs reversed), your heart might be a little bit broken (Ace of Hearts reversed).
