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"
