Tarot Cards: A Deeper Connection Through Paul Foster Case

The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages by Paul Foster Case is an in-depth study of the tarot cards (Rider-Waite deck) in relationship to messages within the Qabalah or Secret Wisdom of Israel.

I, like many who began studying the tarot cards and perhaps as I, for the purpose of psychic readings, used the small booklet that came with the deck. Later I was gifted a book more detailed of each card (symbols, colors, numerology and astrological influences.) Still nothing gave me the information as did The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages. I've only been studying the Major Arcana cards from his teachings for about five years and my forty-five year relationship with the tarot has deepened. For instance 'The Fool' card begins our journey. Aleph is the Hebrew equivalent writes Case. "Fiery or Scintillating Intelligence is the mode of consciousness assigned to Aleph. Breath keeps a fire alight in our bodies."

We tarot students know The Fool is the beginning of a journey or a path (project, awareness, goal etc), but to think we breathe in the fiery essence that awakens our scintillating (lively imagination) intelligence gives new meaning or a greater clarity to the symbol of the fool. "The Qabalists called this Limitless Light."

In his introduction Case says "Never has Ageless Wisdom attempted to define this One Reality. ... Yet in every age the report of the wise has been that in the One Something inheres the power to 'know'." If you undertake as a serious student, the study of spiritual and intellect growth in order you live fully your talents, abilities, and uniqueness then this book will surely give power to you thoughts and grow your awareness. I recommend it for all serious minded students of the occult and metaphysical interests as well as for the person who wishes to expand her or his spiritual connection to universal knowledge.

I won't pretend that study through this book is easy (to me anyway) and one would most likely stop at each chapter, which is full of esoteric teachings such as the direction of awakening assigned to each card. The Fool is North-West "...symbolic of the unknown, and of the state just prior to the initiation of a creative process."

If your intention is to deepen your knowledge of the wisdom of alchemical living (the right ingredients to live fully)and to move beyond the psychic reading (future telling) of the tarot, I recommend this book.  So Mote it Be.

My, The Timeless Counselor: The Best Guide to a Successful Reading, is a complete consumer's guide and my first novel, The Skye in June, one of the main characters begins to learn the tarot at four years of age. To review all my books please go to june ahern dot com

FREE KINDLE TO 6/16/14 GROOVY-MALICIOUS NOIR

City of Redemption Free Kindle Edition until June 16th, 2014 by June Ahern.

A groovy-malicious noir set in 1967's Summer of Love.

"City of Redemption" is a vividly recounted story of lies, betrayal, sex, drugs and murder takes place during an unforgettable time and place in history.

Flower power ignites into firepower when a lonely young woman entangles herself in a treacherous plot and murder during the Summer of Love.

It is 1983 and Liz MacKay waits to be paroled for the murder of former roommate, Ricky Martinez.

Is she guilty? She says yes. Her attorney says Liz has paid her debt!

In 1967, partly to blame for her young son's death and abandoned by her husband, Liz Mackay leaves Scotland in disgrace, hoping for a second chance at love and life. She arrives in San Francisco during the Summer of Love to have a "jolly good time" with the free love among the groovy people. She soon joins a commune. Her new family is a curious mix: Black Panthers trying to change the world, a Vietnam vet seeking inner peace, a flamboyant hairdresser ready for fame and love, a flower child and her callous drug dealing boyfriend who changes girlfriends often.

At first, Liz is happy to have found a welcoming home, but as her new roommates pry into her mysterious past Liz's search for a "jolly good time" brings more grief and a worsening drug addiction. Embroiled in a plot to bring down the Black Panthers, she looks for a way to redeem herself for her part in her son's death. Sharing her fears, she is told, "Keep your mouth shut." In a moment of passion, she seized teh chance to redeem herself for her shameful past. But can she save her friends or will she just watch her commune family break apart? No one expects anything heroic from Liz.

This review is from: City of Redemption (Paperback)

"City of Redemption" is yet another solidly honed story by celebrated author June Ahern who writes with such interest and vigor that the reader feels as if they've traveled back in time with her. She captures the moment and the unique characters of a unique era in compelling storyline and plot. Interested in San Francisco in the 1960s? June Ahern will take you there.

 

This review is from: City of Redemption (Paperback)

I throughout enjoyed reading City Of Redemption. Not only did the story keep my interest but growing up in the Haight/Ashbury district, in the 1960's, myself, the characters could have been my neighbors! Even when I put the book down my mind was still thinking about the story, looking forward to reading more.

 

KARMA TUNING

You can change your karma to fulfill your lessons from another life time. Karma is action and reaction to determine the nature of the person's next existence. As you fulfill your karma you can create new karma to redirect your spiritual awareness and growth. Some think of karma as fate. I do not. Fate decides for you, destiny is place you are going but you can choose how to get to it.

I talk about the several ways to examine your past life on my June 3rd, '14 radio show - listen to it here or go to my co-host Yerevan's site www.readingsbyyerevan.com see radio shows then June Ahern.

You can journal your thoughts and/or dreams of another time. Once you have expressed your thoughts or jotted down your dreams you can refer to history books to see if what you saw, heard, and thought about matches up during that historical time.

A psychic reader might be able to pick-up your past lives or try karmic astrology. I've never done but sounds interesting. I prefer a person to experience for him or herself a past life through hypnosis. I am a certified hypnotherapist and specifically went to school for the purpose of helping others attain information about past lives.

The belief we lived before isn't a "new age" concept (or interest). It has been around for a long, long time through many cultures, religions and famous people. Poets Walt Whitman, Alfred Tennyson and William Yeats all referred to other lives in their poetry. Inventors Thomas Edison and Henry Ford had several conversations about past lives. Plato and General George Patton believed in reincarnation.  In Mark Twain’s My Platonic Sweetheart he refers to a past life in his reference to a girl he had loved in many different lands at different times. - excerpt from my consumers guide, 'The Timeless Counselor: the Best Guide to a Psychic Reading'.

Who were you in another life time? Why did you come here? 

If you believe you have lived before and reincarnated (come into flesh) why have you done so? What is the purpose? What is it you wish to experience and learn in a new body, new setting, and with new opportunities? How can you be a better person?

The examination of this can give great meaning to your present life. I encourage you to experiment with how to access the information.

Come with on my ghosts complete with a massacr (part two) in San Francisco - Walk with a Medium Part One and Two The Haunted Bay Paranormal Investigations can be seen on youtube.

IT'S KARMA: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

If you believe you have karma, then you believe you lived before. If this could be possible how could you access information about another life time -where? who? what is your karma in this life time? Good, bad or both? Can you change karma?

I'll discuss how to recall another life time like through hypnosis, a psychic reading, karmic astrology, and/or ..... and the purpose of examining who you were, how you lived to help you understand the present life, to heal some phobias, illnesses, and relationship issues. 

Karma can and is in evolution all the time. How can you help that? You don't have to just keep your karmic situation but can change it through recognizing what it is. Once you investigate past lives you can being that process.

"THE CITY WHO KNOWS HOW" - HERB CAEN - SAN FRANCISCO

No one calls Baltimore Baghdad by the Bay. - Herb Caen, San Francisco Columnist

San Francisco is a beautiful city with steep hills, incredible views at the top and valleys where the fog rolls right over you toward the next hilltop, bustling crowds, arts and a big ocean to gaze upon. 

Have you been there?

In 1956 along with my family, I emigrated to San Francisco, California. My father sought a better life for us. Work for a Catholic in Glasgow, Scotland weren't good. We brought to our new country much of our old country and soon settled into neighborhood of the city named Eureka Valley and now known to most as "The Castro."

San Francisco is divided into quite a few areas - neighborhoods - with their own brand of culture. People of same races and foods leave in a small area for San Francisco for being so world renowned is a small city (approx 46 sq miles) full of characters, good and great food, art and plenty to see (North Beach, Chinatown, the Embarcadero, Fisherman's wharf, the ballpark, Dolores Park, Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park + more.)

It's truly a city to walk through! Get your walking shoes on when my beautiful city - plan to take some cable car rides and be at the top of the world! 

From Paris, France on Amazon.com came this review on my novel The Skye in June.
  
"If you enjoyed Armistead Maupin and his "Tales of the City", you will love sitting down with "The Skye in June." 

 I enjoy her look at what the story had to offer and comparison to one of my all time favorite columnist, Herb Caen, who wrote about the city's daily going-ons, gossip, happenings, society, political figures and fights with a true, bug in the ear kinda feel.

The author, J. Ahern, has an enchanting way of taking you up and down the hills of San Francisco. You could hear the clacking rosary beads of the religious penguins, feel your lace mantilla tickling your shoulders and recall the nausea from the heavy incense of the Stations of the Cross. If you weren't lucky enough to experience the live San Francisco Sound, flower power of the pungent smell of patchouli oil and marijuana on the streets of "Baghdad by the Bay" or the "City that knows how",  - Herb would call his city.  

June will take you there. She will also give you the strength to stand up for your beliefs, get in touch with your intuitive powers, appreciate the love and force of family, but most importantly, accept and embrace that which makes one a unique individual. I wait with impatience for a sequel." - Madeleine P., Paris, France
