Starweaver's Gems from Earth and Sky Platonic philosophy holds that mind precedes matter, and that the universe is created through emanations from the Divine Mind. Neoplatonists developed these ideas further, using the tetraktys of Pythagoras, a geometrical figure consisting of ten points arranged in the pattern of an equilateral triangle. At the top of the triangle is the monad, the pure state of unity that represents the Divine Mind. The base of the triangle consists of four points that stand for the four elements of the material world. Creation proceeds downward through two intermediate levels of emanation: a dyad of complementary principles and a triad of spiritual essences. The description given here is a personal elaboration of these ideas for use with the tarot, based on the tetraktys spread from A Renaissance Tarot by Brian Williams. The cards should be laid out, one row at a time, going from top to bottom and right to left. Tetrad: The Material World From right to left, the positions are Triad: The Spiritual Forces
Introduction to Music Modes Music modes are a highly sought after topic among people wanting to learn music theory. Most people don't even know exactly what a mode is.

Théosophie | accueil La grande pyramide de Kheops et Orion - kheops pyramid Tarot Teachings: The Art of Learning and Using Tarot Rune Secrets - Elder Futhark Rune Meanings FERNANDO PESSOA ORTÓNIMO Fernando Pessoa conta e chora a insatisfação da alma humana. A sua precaridade, a sua limitação, a dor de pensar, a fome de se ultrapassar, a tristeza, a dor da alma humana que se sente incapaz de construir e que, comparando as possibilidades miseráveis com a ambição desmedida, desiste, adormece “num mar de sargaço” e dissipa a vida no tédio. Os remédios para esse mal são o sonho, a evasão pela viagem, o refúgio na infância, a crença num mundo ideal e oculto, situado no passado, a aventura do Sebastianismo messiânico, o estoicismo de Ricardo Reis, etc.. Todos estes remédios são tentativas frustradas porque o mal é a própria natureza humana e o tempo a sua condição fatal. É uma poesia cheia de desesperos e de entusiasmos febris, de náusea, tédios e angústias iluminados por uma inteligência lúcida – febre de absoluto e insatisfação do relativo. A poesia está não na dor experimentada ou sentida mas no fingimento dela, apesar do poeta partir da dor real “a dor que deveras sente”. topo - tédio
Ralph Waldo Trine Biography GC19CCR [Siglas Poveiras] Matriz (Póvoa de Varzim) (Traditional Cache) in Porto, Portugal created by emlino & eniel As siglas poveiras ou marcas poveiras são uma forma de "proto-escrita primitiva", tratando-se de um sistema de comunicação visual simples usado na Póvoa de Varzim durante séculos, em especial nas classes piscatórias. Para se escrever usava-se uma navalha e eram escritas sobre madeira, mas também poderiam ser pintadas, por exemplo, em barcos ou em barracos de praia.No passsado, era também usado para recordar coisas; eram conhecidas como a «escrita» poveira, mas não formavam um alfabeto, funcionando tal como a escrita egípcia - os hieroglifos (constituem imagens de objectos: Sarilho, Coice, Arpão, Pé de Galinha, Grade, Lanchinha, Calhorda, Pêna, etc.). Esta escrita era usada porque muitos pescadores eram desconhecedores do alfabeto latino, e assim as siglas adquiriram bastante utilidade. Herança da Marca As siglas são brasões de famílias hereditários, transmitidos por herança de pais para filhos, têm simbolismo e só os herdeiros podem usar. Inheritance
