Four of Pentacles

  It is interesting, since I started this the experience becomes more fractal, I have learned, but I already knew it, sort of. With the four of pentacles something changes. Here the process divides several ways. In the creation the process opens the way to a fourth dimension, in the circles things progress to more elemental form, in the series, it divides, this time linear. As we progress these things will change back and fourth.

     Being four, and being Pentacles, manifestation is on a more or less physical level, particularly as it has to do with finances or physical goods. Four is about reason or practicality, Power is the basic theme. This could be a good thing, like gathering power for a purpose, or a bad thing, like hoarding. It could be driven by striving for the better good, or selfishness and fear.

      We have been presenting creation by drawing circles. This two dimensional method has limitations, so we visualized spheres, and three dimensions. Today we have four dimensions..... Got a plan?... Neither do I. So, Deity made a fourth circle. now there are several vessicas, large and small. There is a rhombus (a misshapen square). There is also the first petal of a flower. This will also become more significant later. In three dimensions something different happens. Taking the original vessica in three dimensions, the overlap meets in an arch. With two more spheres, this place becomes defined, and has points where all four spheres meet. This is important because there are four points defined in space, and two more at the ends of the original vessica. These six points define the next platonic solid, the octahedron, or air. We will later explore more on how we have the fire of earth, and the air of earth, but this is the beginning of it. This is the first part of a profound progression.

     In spell work it is interesting that the number four is about power. It is surely about the four elements. Please refrain from using elements until you clearly understand how to call and dismiss them. This is a musical and fun way, but it gives a warning that should be taken seriously. Don't conjure up anything unless you can handle it responsibly.

Sorcerers Apprentice

This song dismisses the elements:

This is a catchy piece that will not get anyone into trouble:

Mirror spell

Notice in this piece that three and four share parts of the construction of the spell. In the fourth day we have left the significant days of gain after the new moon, and are now headed for the change at the first quarter, not here yet.

      Mathematically we have a small problem. We had 1, 1,1 , 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, oops. Numbers work in several ways. Up to here we have worked Fibonacci and it has worked, from here we will have to recognize that there are linear (straight line) and other ways. So today, we have, 1+1+2=4. When we work the process this way, it is a straight line. We may jump forward on it, but it is one dimensional. The Fibonacci series in inherently graphic plots, so it is more like 2,3=5 because it is about 2x, 3y, 5z, and grows a spiral, likely in three dimensions.

     Ok, how does this affect the readings? Like I said when we started, you can read the book, and use the definitions, or you can look deeper. Directly it is important to understand that the four of Pentacles is about power, good or bad. In greater discernment, is power progressive, constructive, destructive, or what. I am a little unclear how this relates, but when I understand it, and turn a card for someone I start knowing whether their power is a good deal or not, from Deity or not, and so on. Is it's direction directly good, incidentally good, or not good? The understanding will feel bent or indirect if something is wrong with it. I must admit I am still a little freaked that the reading can  come from a computer program, and read like I dealt it from the deck. I know the same spirits order the cards either way, but it still unnerves me a bit that the program works so well. I am happier about it now that the arthritis is getting worse. It hurts to shuffle so.

      The pyramid Cheops is a marvel, but when it was built, they buried a number of curious statements in the construction of it. Both the eastern and western musical scales are confirmed in it. It uses both feet and meters, there are structures on an interesting number of mathematical systems, thought to be contradictory, but they work together there. Something just now being discovered is that they knew a lot more about the resonances of the universe than anyone now does, and had mastered it.  It was used for healing, worship, preparing crops, and a number of other things. In a tour, a guide was explaining, and at one point he said" we have not figured these hieroglyphics out" One of the tourists (an engineer) told him it was not a hieroglyphic, but a schematic. some of our most educated people are still scratching their heads.

Blessings.
