correspondence and cards

Keep in mind that in certain decks, fire & air are
reversed (Nigel Jackson is one of them - where wands =
air & swords = fire).

Here's how I learned it (using most decks, especially
those based on Rider-Waite), you use the elemental
correspondence to find the sign.

Cups = Water = Pisces, Cancer & Scorpio

Wands = Fire = Aries, Leo & Sagittarius

Swords = Air = Gemini, Libra & Aquarius

Pentacles = Earth = Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn

You can also use the elemental associations to come up
with a time frame:

Pentacles/Earth: slowest moving, a year or more
Cups/Water: slow moving, months
Wands/Fire: fast moving, weeks
Swords/Air: fastes moving, days

Crystals and Tarot Cards
Peggy Jentoft


Many people have personal associations between specific Tarot cards and crystals, and
several books and tarot traditions also have lists of correspondences.

Some people use Crystals in a form of divination with or like Tarot cards.

They may substitute crystals for the Tarot cards or read the Tarot card for chosen
crystals.

You can also use the crystals to enhance or carry the energy and intention of specific
Tarot card in healing or other work.

Ursula Markam's "Fortune telling with Crystals & Semiprecious Gemstones" It is out of
print and I have not seen copy yet. I cannot offer any particular guidance on using
crystals as Tarot cards directly.

Though one way you can use this correspondence is to choose the crystal that most
attracts you or another person and consider the qualities and information of the
related Tarot card.

I had used used a Tarot, crystal com! bo in healing work many years ago but my choices
were intuitive.

Below are some suggestions from several different writers and other sources.

For healing work and enhancing affirmations, you can charge or infuse or harmonize a
clear quartz crystal or an appropriate stone with a specific tarot card energy.

Usually this is done by holding the card and the crystal together, or putting the
crystal on the cards and using focused attention intention to request and fix the
energy to be carried by the crystal.

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things.

Ears-OLD WIVES TALES, SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS AND FOLKLORE

EARS While the superstition of burning ears dates back years, there is no real indication of where it came from. Many superstitions that still exist today date back to the medieval days and are often rooted in pagan religions or the church. In the case of the burning ears, it is said that if your ears are burning, someone is talking about you. Now if you want to know if they are saying good things or bad things, remember this " Left for love, Right for spite! ". If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you. Pinch your ear, and the person talking of you will bite his own tongue. If the right ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking well of you; if the left ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking unkindly of you; but if both ears burn, friend and foe are fighting about you. - Pennsylvania.
