Entering the Arcana: independent work techniques, meditations on the Tarot Arcana
Mental development of the lasso.
Each lasso is an archetype, a set of symbols, glyphs that carry a certain meaning, and the symbols are associated with the subconscious. Access to the subconscious and its “call” to exchange information with consciousness is carried out precisely in meditative and trance states.
Without feeling the states that the symbols in the Major and Minor Arcana carry, you can only quote the descriptions and transcripts given in the literature, but not interpret the true messages conveyed by the cards.
Immersion in the arcana and their deep study should begin with mental elaboration, that is, studying the semantic meaning of the arcana.
Each arcana is very rich in meaning, especially the Major Arcana, and spontaneously entering into meditative contact right away is a way to get confused rather than understand it. While studying the meaning first, reading about the lasso will lead you, one way or another, to turn to mythology, Kabbalah, and the magical meaning of the lasso. And gradually around each arcana you will form a clear semantic field (the field of meaning of this arcana) along with an intuitive feeling. When this base is formed, then you can already dive into the lasso with the help of meditation. And the feeling that you take away from this experience of mental and then meditative elaboration of the arcanum is clarity, understanding that replaces knowledge, then the arcanum itself will become for you not just an abstract concept, but a whole structure, with its own consciousness, personality, behavior. It is this person who will talk to you in practice, conveying his message as accurately as possible.
At the same time, unfortunately, many who begin to work with arcana reduce the entire practice to only a mental analysis of the meaning of image elements, glyphs and various names of the arcana. This approach is very superficial.
Another mistake you can make is to limit yourself to a meditative journey through the space opened by a specific lasso. Although such a journey is a deeper level of work than the mental one, it is also not enough. It is necessary to catch the feeling of the special vibration inherent in this particular lasso, and without initially understanding the meaning of the lasso, this is simply impossible or the sensations will be confused, and you will not be able to separate what really relates to the energies of the lasso, and what is just your “glitches”.
Even more serious work is the perception of the lasso as a certain point of view on the world, a kind of window into Infinity, a way of developing consciousness and Spirit. This is exactly how the lassos were conceived when they were created during the times of Ancient Egypt.
Preliminary preparation for working with the lasso.
Before you seriously begin working magically with the arcana, you must acquire some skills in handling such instruments of influence, without which all attempts to activate the arcana (as, indeed, any other magical instrument) will be initially doomed to failure.
First, you need to work on your perception of information from the outside world, that is, pay attention to your usual physical senses, learn to concentrate, enter a state of immersion in yourself, stop the internal dialogue, exercises such as meditation on the black and white dots will help with this. Each similar exercise to develop concentration should be performed until you feel the result. The result can be considered any lasting sensation received or a feeling of satisfaction from the work done.
It is advisable to refrain from doing exercises in those moments when you are tired, want to sleep, when your mind is occupied with some serious problem. In addition, never force yourself to practice under pressure. Do each exercise until you are sure that you can easily cope with it. After that, strengthen it with two or three more repetitions and move on to the next one. The number of repetitions and execution time depends only on your individual abilities.
Next, it makes sense to try yourself in “revitalizing” the picture, the image of the lasso. The fact is that the image of the lasso is a diagram that needs to be “revitalized” with the help of your imagination, so that you can then use it for magical effects.
There are two ways to “revive” the arcana, which can be used with equal success in working with the arcana.
If you can easily imagine what you read about in a book, if you can clearly imagine from the description the appearance and behavior of the characters in the novel, you clearly “see” the events happening to them, the environment in which the story takes place, animals, in question, and even fantastic creatures, if you can imagine how they move, speak, express their feelings and emotions, then you can work with the arcana based on their literary description.
If you better remember the films you have seen, you can play your favorite scenes from them several times in your memory, while changing the plot, dialogues, the setting in which the action takes place in your own way, even replacing the characters, then it will be easier for you to work with images of arcana , that is, with the Tarot cards themselves.
In any case, you can try to work out both options and choose for yourself the one that is most simple and enjoyable to work with.
Developing the ability to animate a picture will help you learn to “revive” the figures depicted in a photograph, drawing or picture in order to then use them as tools for magical influence on real situations, events and people.
It is important to remember that while the picture is in a flat - “non-activated” state, it is not able to influence reality. A “living” image is capable of influencing the material world only when it has four distinctive qualities - color, volume, density, rhythm. Therefore, it is these qualities that we must convey to the people, animals, mythical creatures and objects depicted on the lasso in order to “activate” their influencing potential.
In this case, it is necessary to take into account some features, which, by the way, fit well into our usual ideas about the world around us. We convey all four qualities of life to all living beings depicted on the arcana, that is, we make them voluminous, give them the appropriate density, color, warmth, make them move and breathe, designate the structure of skin, tissue, wool, hair according to the description or image.
To all other objects: attributes, surroundings, nature, interior items, buildings - we convey the qualities that are characteristic of them in real life. This can be volume, density, color, quality of the material from which they are made.
The Major Arcana are most often used as instruments of influence, since their Powers are very clearly expressed and can influence almost all areas of life. But many of the Minor Arcana have great Power, for example, the Ace of Denariev solves financial problems well, the Six of Denariev will help repay debts, and the Three of Denariev will help to conclude a long-awaited agreement, contract or marriage.
It is important to know that any exercise to create a thought form (that is, the purpose of which is to form an image using your imagination and will) is done in a state of emotional peace. Even the slightest stress that arises for some everyday reason interferes with your concentration, since your thoughts will constantly return to the events or problems that caused these negative emotions. You can work in a state of emotional tension only if you use a lasso that can help you solve your problem that caused this tension.
Entering the lasso - how to enter the lasso, work with the lasso independently.
Where to start entering the lasso, working with the lasso - first read the description of the lasso, thinking about the key words and meanings. It is also useful to think, reflect and write down at least a few of your own words-meanings about each arcana, start with the Major Arcana.
After you have remembered and thought about the meaning of the lasso, imagine the image of the lasso card. Make it three-dimensional and alive, as if you are becoming a traveler through a scene or plot drawn on a map. You can approach any character on the card, ask him a question, and even feel like you are in his role. In the process of such immersion, you gradually understand the hidden meaning and wisdom of this lasso. Then you “come out” of meditation, open your eyes, remember what you saw and heard, write it down or tell it to the other participants in the dive (in collective meditation).
If we talk about the meditative state that accompanies you when entering the lasso, then in the most general form we are talking about the so-called “guided meditation”, i.e. guided, guided meditation - a psycho- and pneumatic-technical practice widely known throughout the world: inducing a more or less altered state of consciousness, indicating a direction, theme, a certain figurative structure. To avoid unnecessary fears, I will say right away that inducing an altered state of consciousness in this case is extremely gentle, no violent influence (such as, for example, hypnosis) occurs. This is just an offer of opportunity, when the guide to meditation broadcasts a certain state, as taught in a certain tradition, you can follow there (or you can not follow), and it’s easy to get out of there. Moreover, the figurative content of this meditation is not accidental or arbitrary, it belongs to a certain tradition - Sephirotic magic.
Basic rules for a simple version of working with a lasso.
Make sure that no one disturbs you during meditation, immersion, or entering the lasso. Create a pleasant atmosphere (candles, music, incense) that will help you tune in to meditation.
Take the card and place it in front of you. Look at it with a defocused gaze, as if through the image, without focusing on the details. Continue to do this for a while, and gradually the picture will “come to life” - it will gain volume. After this, close your eyes and continue to “see” the image of the card.
Another option is to interact with the lasso. Imagine a map, as if it were standing large in front of you, you slowly enter it, and find yourself in the space of the map, as if in a portal. When you enter the arcana space, clearly fixate yourself there on the map, feel, understand where you are, what your mood, emotions, sensations, thoughts are here. This will be the state of the lasso, then remembering the state, you find yourself in the space of the map.
For meditation, you can choose a specific card - depending on your goal, the practical task that you face. Here are possible topics for meditation on the Major Arcana of the Tarot:

Working with the description of the lasso.
Take the description of the arcana, read it first in its entirety as you usually read fiction. Read the description slowly a second time, one phrase at a time. Read the first sentence. Imagine everything that is said in it, try to mentally draw the author’s intention as expressed in the words. If this is a description of the area where the events are unfolding, try to imagine this area, draw it in as much detail as possible, feel the volume, scale, distance.
Do not forget about the effect of presence - you must create, see and feel this picture not somewhere far away, not on the screen, but around you. You must be in the conditions and events you create. You need to feel everything that is happening around you, including all your senses - see images, hear sounds, feel with your skin all temperature changes, wind blowing, atmospheric phenomena.
Take your time, don't try to create the whole picture at once. There is no need to try to distance yourself from the picture being created. You must feel your own presence in it so clearly that you can receive possible impressions from it, as well as grasp the general state of the lasso.
Let's analyze this option of working with the lasso using the example of the Minor Arcana Ace of Denariev.
Let's read the description of the lasso. The hand coming out of the cloud holds a golden denarius. Below you can see a flowering garden, a gate and a road leading to the mountains. The Ace of Denarii symbolizes the element of earth. The five-pointed star on it is a pentagram that unites the five primary elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Ether. In cabalistics, it means a tetragram of the name of God, supplemented by the letter “shin,” which means the name of Jesus (yod-he-shin, Yeshua - Jesus). Having learned the highest meaning of the unity of the primary elements, we leave the Garden of Eden to discover a world full of miracles. Accept everything that this world gives you, the card says, learn the secrets of life.
Now try to first imagine the sky as clear, clean, azure. Then try to imagine that against the background of this purity a soft, fluffy cloud has appeared, by no means stormy, just white, not foreshadowing anything like rain or even wind. It doesn't block the sun, it just hides a small piece of the sky behind it. A man's hand appears from this cloud - muscular and strong, it hands you a gold coin. The coin is large, very heavy, and sparkles with a pentagram stamped on it. The hand does not try to hold it; it is ready to give it to you. The coin is ready to fall into your hands. Feel this picture, try to imagine yourself standing under the hand of Fate, giving happiness. And maybe you will be able to catch him.
At the same time, you will need to try to include all your senses. Your eyesight will help you see everything that is happening, your hearing will catch the rustling of the wind, the singing of birds, you can smell the smells, feel the weight and coldness of the gold falling into your hands. All sensations will help make the images more real, and therefore more effective in achieving your goals.
When you have finished working with the lasso, without opening your eyes, take a deep, smooth breath, then exhale equally smoothly. Feel your body, move your hands, feet, stretch, as if after waking up from sleep.
Do not stop working suddenly, give yourself the opportunity to leave the impressions and sensations that you received along with the created image of the lasso. This will help you the next time you need to use it again, get into the desired state much faster and get better results from your work.
More complex options for entering the lasso, immersing yourself in the lasso, and working with its energy need to be learned specifically in Tarot courses. But even if you started getting acquainted with the arcana on your own, remember that the main thing here is practice, practice and practice again!
