The work is done or will soon be and we have found our place in life or will soon do so. <br/><br/> Seeing the second decade of the Major Arcana as a way of self-realization, the Universe becomes the crown and the end. The Death was the rebirth, the Art the beginning of the alchemic work, the Devil the overcoming of restrictions, the Tower the breakdown of the jail. We followed the Star, explored the Moon, found the Sun and watched the Phoenix rise from the ashes. Finally, we touched the Universe. <br/><br/> On a more practical level the Universe implies the good news that a goal has been achieved, or a success sure to come, and that a venture will florish. <br/><br/> In its negative aspect the trump can tell us that we are running after false ideas, that our way leads nowhere, that it is far too early to reach out for the Universe for there’s substantial work that has yet to be done.</p> <p><br/><u>Drive:</u> Enterity and completition, harmony between spirit and body <br/><br/><u>Light:</u> Being home in one’s self, inner independence, the ‘mental paradise’ <br/><br/><u>Shadow:</u> False visions, being on a street to nowhere</p> <p>source: <a href="http://www.corax.com/tarot/cards/index.html?art"><a href="http://www.corax.com/tarot/cards/index.html?art">http://www.corax.com/tarot/cards/index.html?art</a></a></p>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/37281720855http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/37281720855Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:28:00 -0500Aleister CrowleyEarth elementSaturnThothThoth-Crowley Tarotartillustationpaintingtarottarot cardsuniversecosmic creation<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mektxpXOQn1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/37281058779http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/37281058779Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:20:13 -0500Captain Jack SparrowPirates of the CaribbeanJohnny Deppproblem solvingfunny<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mektva7LQ61qiz14xo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/37280950966http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/37280950966Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:18:46 -0500Alice's Adventures in WonderlandCaterpillarLewis Carrolldrugmushroomartbook artIllustrationpainting<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_med6pfqsMj1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/36964596945http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/36964596945Sat, 01 Dec 2012 13:15:15 -0500lovefunnyman and womanwomangirl<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_med3lxf0nK1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h1><strong>XIV - The Art (Alchemy)</strong></h1> <h4><a href="http://www.corax.com/tarot/tree-of-life.html" target="main"><img alt="Path of Samekh 25 in the Tree of Life" border="0" height="100" src="http://www.corax.com/tarot/gifs/tree-art.gif" width="58"/></a> Mercur as ruler of Virgin and House 6 - balance and harmony in motion<br/> Zodiac: Sagittarius<br/> Tree of life: From Yesod to Tiphareth<br/> Element: Fire <br/> Number: 14 as two times the 7, adjustment of destiny</h4> <p>The Art represents the art of alchemy, the ability to solve and combine, to turn something plain into something precious. <br/><br/> The Art is the symbol for the right mixture, the perfect balance, standing for harmony, beauty and peace.

These tombs, filled with treasures, provided evidence of the skill of the Sumerian craft workers, of the fabulous wealth of the royal courts, and of long distance trade. One artifact found was this statuette of a male goat, made of gold from Egypt and the blue lapis lazuli stone from Afghanistan. The spectacular artifact named “Ram Caught in a Thicket”, dates from 2550 BCE, and can now be found in the British Museum.</span></span></p>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/36068494292http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/36068494292Mon, 19 Nov 2012 11:02:50 -0500archeologyroyal tombsUrkingqueenSumeriacraftgoatstatuetteartifact<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8al3iT5H1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/35341793804http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/35341793804Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:17:27 -0500booksreadingbibliophilefunny<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8ajdFT5t1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/35341751517http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/35341751517Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:16:25 -0500snailsnail shellnaturephotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mczqftdggX1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/35025029952http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/35025029952Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:21:29 -0500statueartchildrenreadingbooklibrary<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcvpcj8yLR1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/34851052424http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/34851052424Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:07:31 -0400nightbatHalloweenvampiredarkphotography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcq9nnGS3a1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/34662006552http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/34662006552Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:40:35 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcmfo1JHmg1qiz14xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Vintage Erotica</p>http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/34512749706http://that-in-aleppo-once.tumblr.com/post/34512749706Sun, 28 Oct 2012 17:00:00 -0400girlblack and white photographyBlack and Whiteeroticavintagevintage erotica
