#Zero(21)- Why Every Banker Owns a Tarot Deck: A Hidden History of The Cards

Parallel Mike Podcast

In episode zero (21) we are looking into the origins of the most mysterious cards ever created, the TAROT. Our story begins with the oligarchical elite of Renaissance Italy for whom the earliest known decks were made. History tells us these privately owned decks were made for playing games or for use as mere wedding gifts, but Mike's research exposes how this is undoubtedly a historical fabrication. A careful study of these cards show they were highly charged magical tools filled with hidden esoteric knowledge—designed to be used practically in occult rituals designed to extend the owners wealth, power and influence. But who really created the TAROT and for what purpose? Whilst clearly used for black magic at varying times in history, the cards in their purest form depict a spiritual journey from fool to master, told through imagery that draws on universal archetypes. Mike's own research suggests that far from being creations of the 14th century, the TAROT goes back much further, perhaps all the way back to Ancient Egypt and beyond. A key piece of the puzzle emerges when we go on to explore the Tarot De Marsailles, a set of cards which appears to have emerged in the region once inhabited by the Christian Gnostic sect known as the Cathars. Wiped out in a genocide by the Roman Catholic Church, today nothing remains of the Cathar's pure wisdom, or at least that is what we were led to believe. But is this another misdirection? Was the TAROT their creation—a way of transmitting their ancient knowledge which used correctly, could take a person all the way through the spiritual journey and even to spiritual enlightenment? The real kingdom of heaven? To better understand the power imbued in the cards in part 2 for members only we explore some of the secret symbolic, alchemical and astrological knowledge placed within the tarot. We then ask the question if these cards have being used not just to help inform the spiritual path of individuals, or for divination, but as a tool to help shape our collective reality. To do this Mike considers the occult encoding of Ryder-Waite deck, questioning how some of its imagery came to resemble future world changing and mind altering events, such as September 11th. Finally, we will explore how we might use of the tarot ourselves as a path to spiritual mastery or as a window into the subconscious mind. To do this we look at the work of Carl Jung in relation to the tarot and a seminal book in the study of both the TAROT and Christian Hermeticism called 'Meditations on the Tarot' by an unknown author widely believed to have been a man named Valentin Toomin.

A new series of video essays based on my summer reading of the 700-page spiritual classic, entitled Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism by the anonymous author whom everybody now knows was Valentine Tomberg. This is not a summary of Tomberg's work per say, but rather my own idiosyncratic reading of the Tarot partly inspired by Tomberg's work. This series aims to explore Tarot symbolism—and is a contemplation of the meanings of the main archetypes presented in the Tarot card deck. As a longtime practitioner of Tantric Buddhism, an intensely symbolic and, dare I say, magical path—I'm on a journey to understand the symbolism of western esoteric systems. Tarot and Tomberg's book seemed like a fun place to start. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-c709ee4/message

OEITH #210 To Keep Silence

To know, to dare, to will, and to keep silence. We explore the magical virtues (specifically, “to keep silence”), known also as “The Powers of the Sphinx”, encountering along the way: the gift of dreams; how keeping silence still protects magicians; how silence can also harm magicians; why I am not silent about my experiences; an oddly pertinent dream; musicians playing music in silence as an analogy for how magicians stand in relationship to each other; the silent recognition of a shared link to the ineffable; the audible as different for everyone, but silence as the same to all; Éliphas Lévi on the Powers of the Sphinx; correspondences of the powers; why I find these unconvincing; Crowley's take on the powers and their correspondences; Crowley's added power, “to go”, as an equivalent to the tao or dharma; how the concept of the powers might be useful; the nature of human will; human experience considered as a straddling of realms and bodies; the physical and emotional bodies as “objective”; the mental body as “subjective”; imagining the objective mental body; machines versus angels; an answer to the question free will; the choice between free will and true will; humiliation as the human condition; the powers as ideals, indicating directions of growth and evolution; a less-than-perfect world; keeping silence as cultivating inner silence, and the silence of the divine; Anonymous and Crowley on the primary significance of silence; true will and silence; dreaming as an underrated practice. Errata: What Nishida Kitaro actually wrote was this: “If we see God externally, it is merely magic” (p. 77).

OEITH #209 The Hierophant

We discuss issues of power and spiritual authority as presented by the tarot card The Hierophant, encountering along the way: Mercury retrograde in the ninth house; a flurry of synchronicities; the question of spiritual authority; the least sexy card in the tarot; common interpretations of the card: dogma and patriarchy; similarities and contrasts between The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, and The Hierophant; Dion Fortune on passivity and activity on the material and the spiritual planes; The Hierophant as the passive masculine spiritual; personal burnout; a reminder of love; patriarchy, authority, and power; Paul Verhaeghe on the difference between power (a two-party relationship) and authority (three parties); authority as the representation of goodness and truth and the renunciation of personal power; the contemporary crisis of authority; spiritual power an impossibility; the question of where, in its absence, we should situate authority; deliberative democracy; the absence of authority as authoritarianism; The Hierophant as not a figure of authority, but a figure that knows where authority is to be found; how commentaries on The Hierophant provoke the question of where authority is found; "the nanny state", my personal ideal; the loving, caring father; Éliphas Lévi on The Hierophant as a loving father; Crowley's very contemporary Hierophant as an enigma and trickster; Mouni Sadhu's Hierophant as a powerful exponent of the will; Anonymous on the will as a vulnerability and a collection of "wounds", and on three types of magick; Anonymous's types of magick reflected in the other commentators; the "pure" will as authority rather than power; Anonymous's Hierophant as the embodiment of a process of "spiritual respiration"; prayer and benediction; Tom Hanks, Fred Rogers, and a cinematic manifestation of The Hierophant; authority as not about personal perfection but the embodiment of a spiritual process; the absurdity of neglecting human needs.
