Tarot Meanings Dictionary H-P
This is a continuation of the Tarot Meanings Dictionary listing terms
beginning with the letter "H" through "P."
All the Tarot dictionary pages to encompass the entire collection of
terms associated with Tarot. However, I've tried my best to include the
highlights.
The Tarot Meanings Dictionary is designed to provide definitions of Tarot
terms as well as provide meanings to Tarot related subjects.
Hierophant: Greek term meaning "holy." Hierophant is a little used term
that refers to someone who is a priest and/or interprests/translates holy,
sacred and divine works. Also the fifth card in the Major Arcana.
Icon: From the Greek word eikon which means "image." In this
context it is included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary because the term icon
is used interchangeably with the word "symbol." For example,
"the scale icon in the Justice card represents balance."
Imaginaton: The process of holding images in the mind that are not of the physical
world. Conjuring scenes and imagery from the mind or spirit. Imagining is the
act of mental creation. Imagination has been wrongly defined as something to do
with fantasy, or entertaining flights of fancy. This is rubbish. When we
consider imagining as the process of spiritual and mental creation we
understand that the imagination is vital to our existence. Therefore it's
included in the meanings dictionary as it is a vital part of the craft of
Tarot.
Incense: From the Latin term incendere which means "to set on fire."
Incense is a substance that is burned (smoulders, actually) for the purpose of
emitting pleasurable scented fumes in the form of smoke. Many cultures both ancient
and modern believe burning incense both keeps negative energy, at bay and also
attracts positive energy. Included in the Tarot meanings dictionary because
many practitioners of the Tarot burn incense during the readings or to cleanse
their cards - see "smudging."
Individuation: Expressed in the writings of Dr. Carl Jung, Individuation is the
process of making the self whole through a harmonizing the unconscious minds.
Jung was particularly intrigued by mystical systems such as the Tarot that lead
people into a process towards transformation. The Tarot easily serves as a
step-by-step tool for transformation. See also Enlightenment.
Initiate: One who is instructed and studies esoteric knowledge. Also one who is
introduced to, or is attaining knowledge is a specialized area. Included in the
Meanings Dictionary because a student who commits to the study of the Tarot is
often called an initiate of the Tarot. See also Journeyman.
Interpreter: Within the context of this Tarot meanings dictionary, an interpreter is
a reputable individual who is able to accurately and comprehensively read
(interpret) the Tarot cards in such a way as to provide meaningful value and
assistance to one who is receiving a Tarot reading.
Intuition: Knowing and/or insight that is obtained by means other than intellect
or reason. Instinctive perception. Intuition is often used when reading the
Tarot.
Journeyman: One who has served as an apprentice and has gained extensive knowledge
in a trade or craft and is certified to work as, and assist others at this
craft. One who has served as a professional Tarot reader and/or who is a
certified reader may be considered a Journeyman of the Tarot. See also
apprentice.
Kabbalah: Also known as Qabalah or Cabala meaning "oral tradition." It
is an esoteric teaching of ancient Hebrew texts that attempt to explain the
origin of the universe as well as the relationships humans have with the
universe and the Divine. One such symbolic illustration is the Tree of Life
which is a ten-point blueprint representing aspects of the divine nature of God
and detailing the interconnectedness of all. The Kabbalah is included in the
Tarot Meanings Dictionary because the Tree of Life has been linked to the 22
Major Arcana cards.
Keys
of the Tarot: Terms used to describe the 22 Major
Arcana cards which tell the story of the human plight. From Fool to World
(alpha to omega, start to finish) a meditative, conscious journey through the
22 Major Arcana cards allow an initiate profound knowledge - thus obtaining the
"keys to the Tarot" and gaining understanding of the Tarot as a
whole.
Keyword: A word or phrase used to describe the prime meaning of a Tarot card.
Keywords are often used by an apprentice in order to learn the main meaning of
a card first. Once they keywords are committed to memory, then the student may
enhance his/her understanding by learning additional/supplemental meanings and
nuances of each card.
Layout: Also known as a spread, these terms refer to how cards are "laid
out" or "spread out" for a reading. Cards are typically pulled
from the deck individually and laid on a table. The order and meaning of
placement is predetermined by the Tarot reader. Each placement in the layout or
spread has significant meaning to the reading.
Life-force: Known as Chi (Chinese), Prana (Sanskrit), Ki (Japanese), and other
names. Life-force is universal energy, it is the God in all things. Included in
the Meanings Dictionary because many practitioners believe the Life-force is
expressed in both the Tarot cards, the Tarot reader, and the individual
receiving a reading.
Lithomancy: Divination by using gem stones. A lithomancer is one who is able to
divine, or forecast events by using crystals or gem stones. One method of doing
this is to scatter the stones upon a dark surface and intuit predictions via
the formations, colors, positioning, reflection, etc. Lithomancy is included in
the Meanings Dictionary because it is sometimes used in conjunction with the
Tarot. See the Tarot and Crystal Meanings Page.
LWB: An abbreviation used in the
Tarot community that stands for Little White Book. This is the small book or
pamphlet that is included with Tarot deck. It typically gives a brief history
of the deck to which it belongs, along with brief descriptions of each card.
Also known as LBB (little black book).
Magical
Name: A special name, usually in Latin, taken by one who is
on a path of learning the esoteric arts. Included in the Tarot Meanings
Dictionary because often a journeyman of the craft will take a magical name as
a pen name, or when performing readings, or when instructing others. This
practice originally started within secret societies to protect practitioners'
identities. Today magical names are still used for this purpose.
Major
Arcana: The first 22 cards of the Tarot deck. Also referred
to as Trumps, Triumphs, Majors, Keys, and other terms. Arcanum is singular,
Arcana is plural and the term means "secret." Although much emphasis
is placed on the Majors, the minor cards also play a vital support role to the
Tarot. See also Minor Arcana below.
Meditation: The process of relaxing the mind and body to bring about profound
contemplation and/or concentration. Included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary
because meditation is a common practice among those who particpate in the art
of Tarot reading. Through meditation, one is more apt to connect with higher
energy, relax, and enhance his/her intuitive /psychic abilities.
Metagnomy: Imagery, knowledge, information obtained by means other than reason or
the five senses. Akin to intuition.
Metaphysics: The term meta means "above" and physics refers to the
"physical" in Latin. Therefore, literally translated metaphysics
means "above what is physical." More generally, metaphysics is a
branch of philosophy that investigates reality, existence and knowledge from a
mystical point of view. It is a study devoted to discovering that which is
beyond its physical appearance and the nature of reality.
Minor
Arcana: The 56 minor cards that follow the first 22 Major
Arcana cards. These 56 minor Arcana cards are also called pips, suit cards, minors,
and other terms. Arcanum is singular, Arcana is plural and the term means
"secret." Where the Major Arcana cards are thought of as the
"power" cards or big players in a reading, the Minor Arcana serve in
supportive roles and augment the reading with further insight and detail of
circumstances.
Mysticism: The process of seeking union with God. A mystic is one who seeks union
with God through means of meditation, contemplation, and surrender. Mysticism
is a devotional, respectful, profound practice; regretfully, its meaning has
been diluted and taken too lightly over the years. This term is included in the
Meanings Dictionary because the Tarot is one of the many tools that can serve
as a philosophical framework for growth on the mystic's path. Other framework
tools are the kabbalistic Tree of Life and alchemical mandalas.
New
Age: An era brought about by several movements that were
started for the purpose of raising consciousness by espousing various
philosophies, including metaphysics. The ideal image of New Age is one that
illustrates a time in which the collective humanity embraces a creed that is
nurturing to self, others, and environment. New Age seems to be a blanket term
now (somewhat maligned) encompassing any thought or practice having to do with
non-traditional beliefs. Included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary because some
New Age practitioners (aka "new agers") are also practitioners of the
Tarot. Other New Age interests include the study of psychic development,
ancient religion and cultures.
Numerology: Using the vibrational energy, symbolism, value and meaning of numbers
in order to gain insight to events, or forsee events. Numerology is included in
the Meanings Dictionary because it is often used in conjuction with the Tarot.
Each number of the Tarot has a meaning, and can be used to enhance
understanding of Tarot readings. See Numerology of the Tarot for number
meanings, and tips to utilizing the energy of numbers in Tarot readings.
Omen: A sign, portent, or perception of a thing or event that is to come, or
has deeper meaning that can influence one's activities. Contrary to popular
belief, an omen is not exclusively bad. Omens can be a sign of good things to
come, or a message of warning. Included in the meanings dictionary because a reputable
Tarot interpreter is able to identify omens in a reading.
Oracle: A person or device that delivers profound, accurate, wise and/or
influential projections. A person or device that communicates higher
(non-physical) knowledge and/or revelations. The Tarot deck is considered an
oracle. One does not need to use the Tarot to be an oracle. However, some Tarot
readers, who are able to effectively use the Tarot as an interpretive tool as
well as tap into their own intuition or higher connection are able to express
great wisdom and prophetic information. As such, these readers may also be
considered an oracle.
Pentacles: Suit of the Minor Arcana that deals with earth-based issues (money,
work, material items). This suit is also referred to a
Pentagrams: Suit of the Minor Arcana that deals with earth-based issues (money,
work, material items). This suit is also referred to as "coins" or
"pentacles." Pentagrams are common symbols seen in the Tarot. It is a
five-pointed star with a circle around it. Legends claim this symbol was first
created by Pythagoras to geometrically represent perfection. Each of the four
out of five points symbolize the elements: Air, Water, Fire, Earth. The fifth
point of the star is said to represent the spirit (God-force, energy) that
animates all the elements. The circle around the five points symbolizes the
union of all, and the infinite nature of all things
Pips: A term that refers to the Minor Arcana cards.
Portent: A sign relating to future events. See also divination and omen.
Psyche: Greek term meaning mind, consciousness or soul. Used to define the
state of being alive, or that part of the human that has access to the
Life-force.
Psychic: In the context of the Tarot Meanings Dictionary, a Psychic is a person
who is sensitive and receptive to non-physical information, energy, influences
or forces and is able to effectively communicate this non-physical information.
Psychic may describe a person or state of being (i.e.: "he is
psychic" or "I am a psychic"). Πηγή : http://www.tarotteachings.com/magician-tarot-card-meaning.html
