15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability. -- Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
It seems that the religion aspect of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms according to the Miss Toronto Tourism pageant doesn't refer to Wiccans.
I am by far not one who frequents the world of Beauty Pageants and, in fact have many problems with them, but the outright discrimination of anyone on the basis of religion is something that bothers me. Recently the Miss Toronto Tourism Pageant dropped Miss Canada Plus as a judge due to finding out "her hobbies are yoga, reiki and tarot card reading." According to the pageant reiki and tarot card reading are occult practices and are "...not acceptable by God, Jews, Muslims or Christians. Tarot card reading is witchcraft and is used by witches, spiritists and mediums to consult the dark world." This was the direct reasoning for her being dropped from being a judge.
The result of which was Miss Canada Plus openly coming out as a Wiccan and a Witch. She tried to dispel the myths that either are evil and worship the devil. This outright discrimination is despicable by a supposedly secular organization. Worse is the denunciation of what is or is not acceptable to God and obviously their consideration of who counts as a religion.
Her practices were demonized to the extent that Karen Murray, Miss Toronto Tourism pageant director said, "We want someone down to earth, not someone into the dark side or the occult." If Ms. Murray wasn't obviously ignorant she would know that in fact Wiccans are more 'down to earth' then those who practice Abrahamic religions as Wiccans believe in the direct worship and respect for the Earth, in comparison to Abrahamic religions which believe they can do as they wish with the Earth as its a gift to them from God.
To quote the Toronto Star "The letter went on to quote a couple of passages from the Bible, including one from the book of Leviticus that warns, 'Do not turn to mediums or seek out spirits for you will be defiled by them.'
'We hope that Stephanie Conover will turn from these belief systems and will repent from her practice of them,' the letter reads."
Ms Conover (Miss Canada Plus) character was also directly insulted merely for this, not on any of her actual record. She may be taking the organization to court. I certainly hope she does and wins.

TAROT FOCUS - WHAT DO YOU SEE?Merry Meet :))) One of the things I love about the tarot is that often times I will see different things in the cards each time I look at them. Sometimes, I'm quite sure they aren't even in the picture themselves, as I'll look back and whatever I saw is gone. I would think myself mad, except I've had a couple instructors now ensure me that it's perfectly normal, and it's just part of my gift. lolA few years back when I was learning the tarot, my instructor forced me out of the nest, and took away all the card meanings from me. Literally. She told me to forget what they meant and just look at the pictures. While this terrified me at the time, it was the best move ever, when learning to read the cards. So with this article, I wanted to give you a bit of a challenge, something you can work on over the next week to improve your tarot skills. You can choose any deck for this, tarot or oracle, whichever one seems to call to you. You do want to try to select to work with a deck that has a lot of detail, most decks do, so this shouldn't be a problem. Shuffle the deck completely and when you feel ready, select a card that you will read for the next week. :)))) Yes... week :)))Ok, have your card?So here is what you are going to do. I want you to forget whatever the traditional meaning of that card is. Each morning, when you wake up, as you are most receptive at that point, I want you to choose one focus point on the card. Write down what it is, and possible meanings for how it relates to your life. Then set the card back down. You want to repeat this every day for a week. Let your intuition guide you when choosing a focus point on the card. If morning doesn't work for you, you can choose another point during the day that works for you. What matters most, is that you are able to do it each day. :))If you are just starting to learn the tarot, or even if you have been working with it for some time, this is a great way to get to know the tarot. You can repeat this exercise each week to get to know your cards better. :)))Much Love and Many Blessings,Jasmeine Moonsong"Put A Little Magick in Your Day!"Premium edition includes daily magickal correspondences, quotes, affirmations, tarot card, spell, and an article teaching you more about your path. :))) ""HTTP://WWW.WICCANMOONSONG.COM/MOONSONG-DAILY-MAGICK.HTML"

The Wheel of Fortune is a fascinating card of the Major Arcana.
Where this card appears in a Tarot Spread and it's relationship with surrounding cards will be interpreted by the Psychic.
The Wheel of Fortune card can is regarded as an interesting Tarot card if it turns up in a Tarot Spread in a Tarot Reading. It's appearance strongly suggests that the Querent feels that they are lacking direction and may be in need of guidance.

The fairground image of the spinning the wheel of fate: round and round she goes, where she stops, no one knows is very evocative of the meaning of this Tarot card.

(TO GET FROM KETHER TO TIPHARETH)
Thoth, Crowley-Harris
I found this image of the Priestess online. Its colours are moderately happy compared to my breathe two editions of Thoth Tarot; I joyfulness if someone blinged them digitally or if it's from a diverse broadcast of the deck. I be sure about it's from the 1986 printing, so I respectable methodical one of inhabitants from an ATer. If that deck is as fine-looking as this card image, I thrust be one very lightweight bunny!
Thoth, Crowley-Harris
I smoldering joyfulness why so abundant of the cards in Thoth come into view to drop at all or human-like records happening the background and path them through layers. The Fool is through his coiling hoola jewelry, the Empress is through big transluscent lather, the Hierophant is through a Big name of David, the Outsider is through brightness of light. The Ruler of Tableware extremely reminds me of the Priestess, disguised as she is through threadlike ripples and top. It messed up me at initial, that you couldn't see the records completely, but I'm above recycled to it now. I bear in mind it's conceivably respectable to play up that the records are not US, they are not people, they are concepts. They're not intended to view care for or be whispered of as at all beings.
Haindl
I bought the Haindl Tarot before I ever bought a production of Thoth, and read online that it was a 'Thothy' deck. I didn't know what that intended, having particular ever worked with RWS-based decks. But at token now I be in possession of found out why impart is a fawn on the Haindl Priestess (give rise to of). Gift is a fawn on the Thoth Priestess, too. If you view a the center of the Priestess card, you thrust see the Hebrew ambiance 'gimel'. It is the third statement of the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet, and the Priestess card is the third card of the 22-card tarot majors problem. 'Gimel' manner fawn. The Priestess card connects Kether (Crown) with Tiphareth (Allure) on the Tree of Life form. This imprints goes across a bit of the Tree of Life form called 'The Puncture, which brings to keep under surveillance that the fawn can in a state an retreat of leave. Ohhhhhh. So THAT'S why there's a fawn on the Enormous Priestess.
'As the particular middle-pillar path that spans the Puncture,' writes Lon Milo DuQuette, 'the fee of the Enormous Priestess on the Tree of Life form is unlike. She contacts the belief Inaugurate of Kether to the Son of Tiphareth and, in so appear in, joins the supernal musical tones to the rest of the tree. The Puncture she traverses is, moderately comparatively, the leave of the person, and care for the leave fawn, she is the particular move pleasant of tour that deep-seated be defeated land.'
Aleister Crowley says, 'In this card is the one ancestry between the archetype and influential worlds.' But, one wonders, what about the 'as leader, so beneath powers of the Magician? Oh well.

Brrr! It's cold outside and the snow is falling in Denver today, which makes it a perfect day to look at The Snowland Deck!Today I am here to offer an update to the previous review I did for The Snowland Deck : Life Themes Edition. In the ensuing years, husband and wife team Ron and Janet Boyer have finished the full version of the deck and brought so much more to the card reading table with it. Described as an Unbound Book, with whimsical wintry images suitable for all audiences, the Boyers have produced a masterful deck which closely follows tarot themes and structure, but has completely left out esoteric symbols and jargon, making this an accessible reading deck for most anyone.The Snowland Deck is self published and hand crafted at every step of production by Ron and Janet Boyer, and is available from their website. I have now received two decks from them, one the Life Themes Edition, which contained the 23 Life Theme Cards, correlating to the Major Arcana, and the full deck version, containing 82 cards, closely following the structure of a tarot deck, with a few surprises. Both decks were lovingly prepared and shipped, with an attention to detail that made each package a true delight to receive. The deck comes in a customizable hand sewn bag to protect it and a digital copy of the guidebook. A separate Snowland Intuitive Workbook is also available to augment your work with the deck.The cards are the same size as the Life Themes Edition, 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches, on a flippy, satin matte cardstock which shuffles easily and are printed in the USA. The backs are adorned with an "S" formed from snowflakes on a blue background and the cards are fully reversible. Janet has never been one to shy away from the shadow aspects of cards or life, so even though many of the images are whimsical, even sweet, they are also adaptable to expressing the myriad energies each of us experiences in life.There are 22 Life Theme Cards, which are easily recognizable to the tarot enthusiast as correlating to traditional Major Arcana, but most are renamed. The Fool has become Beginnings, The Emperor is now Commander, and The Devil is now Chains, to name a few of the changes. The Life Themes Cards bear their title in navy blue type on the bottom of the white bordered cards, but do not have any numbers on them, leaving each reader free to arrange them as each sees fit. There is an extra card called Chillaxin which is a moment caught in time, created by the Boyers' son Noah.The deck includes four cards which are referred to as the "Soul GPS significator cards", which come in handy so that you do not have to remove a card from the deck to use a significator, if that is the way you like to read. These cards correspond to each of the suits, which take on updated names of Energy, Emoting, Mental, and Material. These suit names will be easily recognizable to most readers, and have done away with the somewhat outdated traditional suits by transforming the theme of each suit into a language that the modern reader can easily relate to.The Court Cards are known as Approach Cards, and again they have done away with the feudal system of Page, Knight, Queen and King and replaced it with a more relatable Youth, Quester, Nurturer, and Director. This has the added benefit of erasing gender specific stereotypes and better allow the reader to embrace the concept of each card rather than getting hung up on, "What does a King mean?" The Approach Cards include many familiar characters expressing the archetypal energy of each card, and they really are a brilliant approach to the often tricky Court Cards! Snowland DeckThere are fourteen cards in each suit, simply numbered in a color which corresponds to their suit. Energy is red, Emoting is blue, Mental is grey, Material is green. There is nary a Wand or Pentacle or any esoteric symbol at all to be found in the deck, but the images have so succinctly distilled the meaning of each card that seasoned readers will have no trouble recognizing most cards, and new readers will also find the images easy to read and the energy recognizable. Snowland DeckThe Snowland Deck will appeal to lovers of winter, whimsical images, fairy tales, and the folksy art that pervades the deck. It is good for creatives, intuitives, children, teachers, parents, and anyone who likes to be delighted by thinking outside the box. It is not a great deck for people who are married to tradition or who are not interested in a different approach to the cards. While shadow energy is easily expressed in these cards, there is no darkness in them so people who prefer a gothic or darker edge to their cards may not enjoy the deck as a main reading deck. I have found my readings to be very true to life and not overly whitewashed, but as a whole there is a sweetness to the art that will not appeal to all readers, but there are plenty of different decks for each preference. Snowland DeckThe magical world of The Snowland Deck is open to all, and the Boyers have graciously posted all of their images to see and enjoy there. They also offer many other charming and whimsical divination and creative tools which are well worth a look!
