This is the Part II update with observations on anything noticed during Libra decan 3. For all the Decan 3 Libra content and the Telos Tarot of 777 decan-based image, see Part I. Fittingly, for a decan whose tarot card is called Truce, or Rest from Strife, most of this decan period was spent on […]
Libra decan 3, Four of Swords, Lord of Truce (Rest from Strife). Magical image of the decan per 777: Cadent decan of Libra: A man riding on an ass, preceded by a wolf. Libra is ruled by Venus. The decan, and the Fours, are ruled by Jupiter. Triplicity ruler is Mercury. Surprising that the card […]
Two of Swords, Lord of Peace Restored. Ascendant decan of Libra: A dark man, in his right hand a spear and laurel branch and in his left a book. This year the Equinox, start of Libra, falls on Monday the 22nd, though the entry to each decan varies by a day or so each year. […]
Images and text © 2021-2025 M.M. Meleen. Already here to Gemini decan 3? Gemini decan 2 flew by! The image above is the original line drawing for the Ten of Swords, known as the Lord of Ruin. Cadent or declining decan of Gemini. Gemini is ruled my Mercury; decan 3 is ruled by the Sun; […]
This is the Part II update for the Gemini 2 decan, for the Nine of Swords. The image above does not do the scene justice, but shows just a small section of a large flock of these yellow and black swallowtail butterflies encountered on a bike ride. There were tons of them, all clustered in […]
Our decan walk enters Gemini decan 2, with the Sun’s passage through ten to twenty degrees of Gemini. The tarot card shown above is from Telos Tarot of 777, for the second decan of Gemini, known as the Lord of Cruelty. Crowley’s 777 gives the decan image description as “An eagle headed man, with a […]
We are now most of the way through the Gemini 1 decan, which corresponds to the Eight of Swords, Interference, so some Part II updates on the ways this decan has manifested so far are in order. To recap, Gemini and Eights are Mercury ruled, the Gemini 1 decan is Jupiter ruled. The first few […]
Crowley’s 777, roughly based on the Picatrix description, gives us a great image to work with for Gemini decan 1: “A beautiful woman with her two horses.” TWO: Gemini. HORSES: Jupiter, ruler of the decan. Some inspiration for this illustration was also drawn from Ibn Ezra, who says that the beautiful woman is “standing in […]
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future… I am definitely going to take a course on time management … just as soon as I can work it into my schedule. All kidding aside, I realized I’ve not posted any progress pictures on the new deck since Cancer season, and here we are in […]
Making progress on painting the cards of my new deck. It’s funny, I recently was reading a thread on the TT&M tarot forum about AI art. Someone there who is using AI to create a deck was, well I guess defending it from detractors by saying that it also required a lot of work on […]
