Hello Friends,

 This is another of my "Energy of Voyager Cards" Poems. 
 This is about one of James Wanless' "Family Cards".

 While most Tarot Decks have Major Arcana Cards ( 22 of them) , Minor Arcana Cards (40 of them) and Court Cards (16 of them) totaling 78 Card total ; James renames the "Court Cards" as "Family Cards".
James Wanless does this for a great reason. In keeping with the whole style of the  Voyager Tarot Deck , James Wanless recognized that "Royal Courts are an anachronism and not pertinent to our current reality .

  The Voyager Deck remains both Contemporary and Universal .We can all relate to "Family"  and usually come from one. So instead of using Kings , Queens , Pages , Knights and others James Wanless instead divides the "Family Cards into Man , Woman , Child and Sage (or wise elder) Cards.

  Each of these Archetypes are expressed by the qualities or represented by these four Suits;

 Worlds ( the equivalent of Pentagrams or Discs ,relating to "The World" or Earthy quality ).
 Crystals ( the equivalent of Swords or "Of the Mind" or Airy quality ).
 Wands ( Of Spirit or Fiery quality ).
 and finally Cups ( Emotions or Water quality).

So for instance "Sensor" or Woman of Wands relates to how Spirit can express itself through a Woman or how Spirit expresses itself in a Female aspect of any of us.

The "Energy of Poem" I chose today is Learner or "Child of Crystals". 

On behalf of "On the Path Tarot" I welcome you.

              
I  recommend  that  you study the accompanying Voyager Picture then internally "link" to it's Symbology and  find resonance within to where you "connect" to the symbols .
I  use the visuals in my writing to "tie it all up".

      Finally read the "Energy of Voyager Tarot Cards " Poem.
I  will include the related minor Arcana Pictures where appropriate.

                                                             Thank You ~ Lloyd


The Energy of Child of Crystals -"Learner " - Family / Court Card - Tarot


Child of Crystals is awash in awe,
  Eyes bursting with fascination;
Face glowing with curiosity of,
Fingers , crystals , numbers and books.


Learner begins slowly collecting knowledge.
Child of Crystals does not confuse by multiplying;
Child of Crystals simply sees the axioms whirling.
  Seeing light reflecting off wondrous shapes;
And prisms of light dividing colors.


If you have the Child of Crystals card ,
Your initiation is beginning and you will visit,
The Temple of Awe where , devoted , you begin,
Your lessons. Put aside complications,
And reverently continue your path into the,
Sacred Library.


The Energy of the Child of Crystals card is ;
Glowing , strong and electric.
You as Learner grow steadily with small steps.
Piece by piece you carefully assemble;
The Puzzle of Your Life.


Thank you  R.Lloyd Hegland ~ "On the Path Tarot"

The Energy of Chariot ~ Voyager Tarot ~ by Lloyd


 The Poetry of Voyager Tarot 


 Tarot is mysterious yet pertinent , it is deep yet here.
 Poetry is in the Voyager Tarot cards driving through the Paradoxes they serve us. 
The Voyager Tarot "nudged" me for further validation and clarity and in Poetry it came.



 18 Months ago I started a Poetry Series which I called  ~  "The Energy of Voyager Tarot".
 I  have penned 47 of these and when I complete all 78 I will offer them as a PDF  booklet with other Tarot writings of mine . I will present them here on Lloyd's Tarot Tours often , for your comments and hopefully enjoyment. My wish is that they offer a greater depth and comprehension to your Voyager Tarot Experience ~  It is from this that synchronicity can continue to flow and guide you for ever to your summit. 
                On behalf of "On The Path Tarot" I welcome you. 

I  recommend  that  you study the accompanying Voyager Picture then internally "link" to it's Symbology and  find resonance within to where you "connect" to the symbols .
I  use the visuals in my writing to "tie it all up".

      Finally read the "Energy of Voyager Tarot Cards " Poem.
I  will include the related minor Arcana Pictures where appropriate.

The Energy of CHARIOT VII - Major Arcana - Tarot




Chariot is movement,
Traveling with passion towards his goal.
Impatient as a stallion clawing with hooves,
As eager as a Hawk pulling to soar.
The Chariot is primal and indivisible;
Chariot is Cancer knowing he is his home.

Chariot says;
"We shall never cease from exploration,
for the end of our exploring would be to,
Take us where we started and to see it for the first time*”

Chariot explores moving Heart, Mind, Spirit and his Body;
Chariot's offspring are Fear, Dullness, Courage and Breakthrough;
Chariot travels fearlessly alone or with them.

When you have the Chariot card you are restless,
You need to consult a Map and find the direction
Towards your blissful arrival, your safe berth.

The energy of the Chariot is eager for completion,
It beckons your inner compass to direct you;
To follow your Path
