Sexual Key To The Tarot: XII THE HANGED MAN

The tree itself is a phallic symbol, but rather than ending in a head shape, it ends with a crossbar, denoting cessation of sexual activity.  That the crossbar bears living foliage suggests that though the phallus is inactive, it is not dead.  The hanged man, it should be noted, suggests life in suspension, but life and not death.  This is suspended sexuality, not asexuality or impotence.

The Hanged Man's face is not one of suffering, but of entrancement.  This is the card of all sexual narcissists into which category all mastubators fall.

The Hanged-Man nature, early in life, adopts an idea of what his penis should look like, feel like, function like, respond like , and act like, not-withstanding biological facts to the contrary.  This is the card of self-lovers who feel their genitals are meant for some great and grand purpose, usually other than sexual intercourse.  Thus the nimbus about the head.  This nature would rather have the head of his organd (glans penis, clitoris) ''martyred'' than functioning in an unworthy manner.  This nature usually experiences a post-pubertal collision with the ''factos of life'' and is henceforth disillusioned.  Since these ''facts of life'' do not conform with this nature's idealistic outlook, it would rather suffer celibacy.

Some of the nature turn to chronic masturbation, finding auto-eroticism more to their liking than heterosexual activities with the impassioned and demanding sexual organs of the opposite sex.  Some do nothing at all, suspending their sexuality temporarily and perhaps enjoying only nocturnal emissions.  The Hanged Man nature thinks ''all women (men) are alike.'' He feels that the opposite sex does not understand him, which is true because they are normal, red-blooded humans who desire their fires of passion extinguished regularly.


In a reading this card suggests a dreamer who cannot accept everyday sexual responsibility, and though this card denotes a person indecision, it also represents an individual at the crossroads of ideal and actual sex.  It shows a youth (chronological or psychological) in need of sexual guidance and sex education.  The Hanged Man-nature is one worthy of a female's (male's) patience and understanding, for with the proper guidance this nature can become a veritable dynamo in the sexual bed. 

This card in a spread also means:  Too picky in sexual matters; trials with the opposite sex; sacrifice of sexual pleasure for ideals; emotional sorrow; sexual disappointment. 

This card advises the hanged Man nature forgive the opposite sex their so-called weaknesses; choose a sex partner only after taking into consideration your tendency to expect too much; apply the imagination and not idealism to a prospective partner.  

This card further shows an awakening after suspension and predicts the possibility of a highly pleasurable sexual future.

Sexual Key To The Tarot: XI JUSTICE

First off, whenever you see a sword upright, it's an obvious phallic symbol.  If it comes up reversed, then you know what won't be happening in the future.

The Justice nature cannot be coerced into sexual intercourse but will give freely of her body and passion to the deserving.  She will not respond to a stolen or forced kiss, but will melt in the arms of an ardent suitor, who, in the face of all odds, has adamantly pursued her favor.

This nature believes labor should be rewarded and she will see to it that a man gets what he has diligently worked for.  On the other hand, the Justice nature doesn't believe that a man should enjoy sex simply because sex exists.  When this nature has 2 suitors, because of her sense of equality and justice, both will taste the fruits of their labor.  When her sense of probity blankets 10 men, however, this nature experiences hardships, is often accused of sexual immoderation and promiscuity, which in a higher sense is not true.  She merely gives each man his just desserts.

This nature will not give of her body, passion, love, or sexuality until she feels it is right and just.  She is critical of animal passion and derives no pleasure from aggressive phalli no matter how gross or esthetic, but the phallus which justly deserves her submission will find her more passionate than the lustiest of females.

In a spread we'll see equity of passion; rightness of dispersed affection; probity in selection of sexual mates.  It suggests that sexual activity is directly proportionate to sexual pursuit, that orgasmic ecstasy is not a plaything but an equitable result for amorous labor.

Sexual Key To The Tarot: IX HERMIT

The Hermit lives in a world of attainment. He is not a seeker. He is not lost. The Hermit has found what men seek. He has arrived. He is home. He is a knower. The light he carries is not used to find his own way. He stands upon a high place above the world. The light is for those who follow, that they may see where they are going. The Hermit's message is: That where I am, ye may also be. The staff, a phallic symbol, in his left hand does not relegate sexuality to oblivion as in the case of the Hierophant, but rather signifies that sexuality, once mastered, need no longer occupy a place of supreme importance.

The Hermit-nature, like the Charioteer, has attained sexual excellence, but not by conquest. Here is a lover of the 9th order who has tasted as much of sexual experience as the ferocious Charioteer, but whereas he is demanding and mercurial in his sexual relations, the Hermit-nature is the gourmet who has given countless females sexual gratification. The Charioteer may bring a female to violent orgasm but the Hermit is capable of producing and maintaining a steady, even flux or orgasmic bliss in a female. The one gains merely sexual gratification, no matter how many women he fornicates, whereas the Hermit, gaining sexual satisfaction in process, also gains knowledge of female desires and insight into their sexual motivations and needs--the secret of his complacency.

The blue in his cap (traditional), which covers his mind symbolically, denotes the sexual knowledge which he possesses and applies effectively. The Hermit-nature need not brandish a conquering sword (the dominating penis), but may proceed through life secure in the knowledge of female needs and desires. He is content with the act that he can readily supply what women want, and more. Though his head is bowed, take note that his shoulders do not sag as though in defeat. The Hermit-nature is more than he appears to be. Beneath his cloak of humility is hidden the body of a 100% man. Masculinity and sexual prowess are at his beck and call, beneath his unassuming exterior. They come to the fore, wherever and whenever they are required. Any female in need of such will be more than satisfied.

The Hermit-nature is trustworthy. The rampart, domineering Charioteer may not kiss and tell, but the fact of sexual conquest will show in his demeanor and often on his face, like the cat that ate the canary. But the Hermit-nature will never reveal anything. His countenance and bearing will conceal the fact of sexual escapades forever. This secretive quality greatly enhances the Hermit-nature's desirability. Secretiveness, coupled with his unassuming behavior, makes the Hermit-nature an ideal bed partner for love hungry housewives. The Hermit-nature is not unattainable, the true mystical meaning of the eminence and the beacon. The card says: What I know and experience, you also may know and experience.

Sexual Key To The Tarot: VIII STRENGTH

The nimbus above the woman's head is symbolic of her endless creativity.  The lion, the fiery passion and burning lust of man.  That the woman is closing the lion's mouth with her bare hands indicates that man is willing to have his passions tamed by Woman. 

Woman's creativity is manifested by her innate demonstration of feminine wiles and coital use of her genitalia to create a life of happiness and sexual bliss.  A woman of this nature is a danger to the Charioteer nature, or to any man enjoying sexual freedom, for she possesses the means to sate his every sexual appetite.  If a man be her choice of a mate, she will and can go to any sexual lengths to tame him. 

This nature knows the man of her choice has already enjoyed various sex acts with various simpler women, so she, broadminded and hypersexual, incorporates all sex acts, perpetrating each with agile precocity, dazzling her lover into submission.  That she can and will satisfy the most voracious penis is symbolized by the purple mountain behind her.  The flower each represent an orgasm; a series of dynamic and pleasurable orgasms linked together by her insatiable lust.

In a reading we see sexual power and energy; coital activity and creativity; courage in the face of competition; complete success in the pursuit of sex.

A man finding this card in his reading will have such a female in his life.  A woman finding it in her reading is being told that she has the sexual strength, coital ability, and feminine wherewithal to overcome the obstacles separating her from the man she desires at the moment.

--excerpted from ''The Sexual Key To The Tarot'' by Theodor Laurence

Sexual Key To The Tarot: VII The Chariot

Here is the Conqueror of Barriers, and in a sexual reading he is a victorious, erect, and princely hero cum porn star.  The Charioteer nature wins the heart and body of any female who excites his sexual interest.  He conquers women (or men) and conquers any barrier between them.  This quality, plus that of being a king by conquest rather than heredity, makes even married women fair game for him.  He makes cuckolds out of kings.  If this nature has his eye on a married person, their spouse cannot stop him from sexually possessing her; no matter where her reservations lie, he conquers them for her.  The female therefore realizes a freedom foreign to her and enjoys complete sexual abandon with him even though she at once knows she cannot possess him for her own.  He, and the orgiastic pleasures, will always be sweet memories to her in her world.  The Charioteer nature has no time for sweet memories and rampages headlong into yet another sexual affair with another female.

In a reading look for progress made with sexual partners; conquest of barriers to orgasm; good news of forthcoming sexuality.  It tells of triumph over enemies, obstacles, and delays.  Victory in sexual pursuits through the hard work of convincing females that sexual intercourse is good for them.  This card in a female's spread means she will meet a man of this nature.

Sexual Key To The Tarot: VI THE LOVERS

Men and women of the Lovers' nature do not believe in or adhere to traditional, hand-me-down, sexual taboos.  These natures love openly without shame.  They will actively share in any sex act without reservation because they do not recognize sin.   This is the sexual expression of paradise--which is a state of mind.

The Lovers'-nature intuitively knows the Secret Laus of Providence, which, in essence, is: ''God Created sexual union, the ultimate results of which are justifiably mystical, symbolic, and presently beyond human understanding.''  In nature, the closest thing to the ideal mystical trance is the point of orgasm.

In a spread we'll see unadulterated love; attraction; beauty; trials overcome; sexual union, sometimes marriage.  Here is the desire for virginal love, that is, strong fluid love with uninhibited sexual expression.  Love conquers all.  Perfect love casteth out all fear.

Reversed we'll see temptation.  May indicate infidelity, look for other cards to corroborate this.  Someone wants the best of everything and causes everyone to feel unstable.  Fighting, disagreement, separation, divorce.

--excerpted from ''The Sexual Key To The Tarot'' by Theodor Laurence

Sexual Key To The Tarot: III THE EMPRESS

Here we see the Mother of sexual invention.  Her venusian fertile sexuality, her vibrant body, attractiveness, and hypersensitivity she can use at will against cold-hearted men and women.  She renders them weak and docile with the powers of Venus.

Look at her holding her phallic symbol high in the air, she is fearless of the penis, playful even.  She adores the male organ and will worship it openly without shame.  Her esteem manifests itself in overt sexual acts such as fellatio and, uh, scrotolingus.  The proximity of the sceptre to her face suggests her delight in fellatio, and is further represented by the enlarged and bulbous round head of the symbol. The full and enlarged head of the penis before ejaculation.  That the head is globular secondarily suggests her pursuit of worldly pleasures and the fruitfulness of her sexual pursuit.

She stare straight out from the image, full-faced, and is supportive of how open and frank she is in sexual matters.  She conceals nothing, she is a progression from the secrecy of the High Priestess.    She is not a woman who can be cajoled or coerced into sex, she is the instigator of pleasure.  She chooses her lover with authority over her passions; and once chosen he shall know paradisaical sensual pleasure at her hands.  The Empress nature is the door to sexual pleasure. 

In a reading we see passion that gives it's all!  A rich harvest of sexual pleasure and dynamic orgasms as a reward for the physical labor and sensual toil of courtship, foreplay, and intercourse.

Reversed we'll see all this energy dispersed.  Wasted efforts yielding nothing, and this lack of productivity affects the home life, chaotic situations arise.  Depression leads to a low libido.  Lack of interest.

Sexual Key To The Tarot: II HIGH PRIESTESS

 
''Very deep and mysterious. A ''dream girl.'' Geographically symbolized, sexual gratification is ''up,'' sexual frustration is ''down.'' The crown that she wears with the horns on either side pointing upward (phallic symbols) indicates her mental awareness of the needs of male phalli. It is this penile awareness which makes her the ''perfect woman,'' she who is cognizant of all the sexual facts of life, ''a girl after one's own heart.'' She exists in all women once they recognize their true sexual role in a man's life.

On her breast is a large solar cross...This emblem symbolizes the sanctification of the ''heart,'' from whence comes her uninhibited sexual expression and free spirit in her sexuality with men of her choice; where ''sin'' does not exist. In love she will utilize her sexual knowledge, ardent passion, and her vagina consecutively or simultaneously with ''all her heart,'' and the man in her life will know complete and gratifying sexual ecstasy.

In her hands, inscribed with the word ''TORA,'' is a scroll partly covered by her robe...That the scroll is partly concealed implies that her sexuality is only partly objectified. The complete woman is not evident simply because she induces sexual pleasure. The scroll (phallus), half hidden, signifies that a man who is true to her, who has won her ''heart,'' will find in her, via the path of her objectified free and open sexuality, deeper and unforeseen delights.

As for the word ''Tora,'' this and and the word ''penis'' each vibrate, numerologically, to 9, the mystical number denoting completeness, fulfillment.

She is seated between two pillars, one dark and one light...the symbolization is threefold. One, like the half hidden scroll, the dark and light pillars (phalli) represent the secret and the obvious respectively, the two aspects of her total sexuality. Two, as symbols of erected, sexually-charged phalli, the two pillars signify her acceptance of man and his penis without discrimination, yet another indication of her free spirit in sexual matters. Three, the bloomed, flowering heads of the pillar-phalli are portents. They symbolize her promise of eruptive and violent orgasms for men with whom she cohabits.

Her dress is flowing and gauzy..these represent continuity of sexual expression.

Her garment is blue...signifying radiant emanation of mind, spirit, and body, each of which or all of which insure sexual fulfillment.

She represents to the Querent the perfect woman all hetero men dream about and long for, the woman who can satisfy their sexual desires far beyond their wildest thoughts. She intuitively knows the value to a man of a loving and sexually expressive female who can gratify him. She is the spirit of motherhood and is associated with the earth from which all things flow. A woman of the High Priestess-nature will please a man in every way she can, barring no sexual activity. She does not recognize sexual perversion, ''sin'' does not exist for her where love is concerned.''--Theodor Laurence

In a reading we'll see secrets, passion beneath the surface, the future of a liaison is unknown, safety from pregnancy and STI's because knowledge of sex triumphs over ignorance.

Reversed the situation is superficial, there is no subtext....if your partner told you something, take it at face value, there is no more beneath the surface.

Sexual Key To The Tarot: I MAGICIAN

(This is a series I'll do on the sexual interpretation of the cards inspired by the book ''The Sexual Key To The Tarot'' by Theodor Laurence.  Love to hear any insights from anyone else out there who loves the intimacy tarot can bring into our lives.)

Here is the youthful energy of sex that is self-regenerative, this is what's at the beck and call of the Magician.

''At his fingertips are the symbols of the four tarot suits: the wand indicates the fire signs (Lust, Anger, and Passion); the cup indicates the water signs (Urine, Blood, and Semen); the sword, the air signs (Respiration, Burping, Farting); and the pentacles, the earth signs (Flesh, Force, and Malleability).  The four tarot suits signify the elements of social life; The wands indicate power; the cup intoxicants (often paired with sexual activity); the sword indicates aggression; and the pentacle indicates money.''--Theodor Laurence

It's due to this mastery over the elements figuratively and literally that this nature draws to hi/r all the signs of the zodiac.  This nature also possesses the ''magic of youth'' demonstrating this in both vigor of pursuit and activity.  He may be prone to pedophiliac impulses, seeking to unite  his or her own psychic youth with a child exhibiting comparable physical youth.  No matter the chronological age, the Magician sees the endless flow of sexual energy signified by the nimbus above his head, and the snake eating his own tail around his waist.

When the energy of sex is seen as coming from the physical body, this nature will be involved with self-love....becoming enamored with hi/r own sexuality, masturbatory practices are frequently and secretly done.  And so this nature fluctuates between celibacy and hypersexuality.  Overall there's a disregard for social mores and sexual conformity.  Not only does this nature attract and desire all the signs in the zodiac, but gender doesn't limit the desire either.

In a reading this comes up to show how the querent is involved in controlling their sexual destiny; will power over the opposite sex;skill and diplomacy used in obtaining sex; young partners, confidence and will used in foreplay, magical sexual powers.

Reversed we'll see the pedophile side come out, trickery in getting sex partners.

Sexual Key To The Tarot: 0 The Fool

This is the beginning of a series I'll do on the sexual interpretation of the cards inspired by the book ''The Sexual Key To The Tarot'' by Theodor Laurence.  Love to hear any insights from anyone else out there who loves the intimacy tarot can bring into our lives.

On a day ruled by The Fool nature we see the lusty joyous spirit of youth in search of sexual experience.  This is the first of many steps along a new sexual experience and all the new relationship energy that goes with it.  The is Spirit looking for Experience, feeling that every hole should be filled, spirit would feel this way, and it's reflected in the biological imperative.

We can see The Fool and the big stick he carries around and know this is a day to be in love with sex.  Sex is the solution to every problem right now.  Luck and our guides are watching our innocent dance with a Pollyanna concept of sexuality and it's appropriate and warranted at this time.

This nature has an indefatigable capacity for producing the abundant energy, and fluids, for love.  In a reading we'll see the start of a new sexual journey, sexual independence, erotic adventures, sexual forces in full play, rebellion against sexual taboos, orgasmic extravagance.

Human Design: The Sexual Streams

I'm making my way through the Sex Manual and wanted to leave some notes here, mixed with the Chetan Parkyn article:

Sex is emotional and emotions are sex. Sex runs through a Motor, not an Awareness center.  The Splenic center, an Awareness center, has the mirror image of the sexual streams, through the Splenic runs the Caring streams, runs what can sustain a sexual relationship.  First, here's the Sexual Streams.

3 Streams of Sex: the Marriage/Tribal Stream, the Romance/Individual Stream, 

& the Excitement/Collective Stream

We all have 64 gates and 9 centers, the lack of definition is where we are open.  We all have a sexual side.  Some of us have definition, some of us are open sexually.  The less amount of activations of sex, through these streams, the more intrigue/curiosity with sex.  We want what we are not, the more we can tend to ''hold on.''  The areas where we have definition, we're consistent.

Marriage/Tribal Stream

Each stream has it's own sense, touching, hearing, seeing.  The tribal stream of marriage is all about the Touch.  Words mean very little in a stream with no connection to the throat.  From the Root at Gate 19 to the Emo SP at Gate 49 & Gate 37, leading up to the Ego at Gate 40.

Food and Sex are very intertwined.  In the Tribal/Marriage realm, it's about who has the food, not so much the eating it.  Who has the food/sex, where's it getting distributed, all those contracts and bargains.

Gate 19 - Gate 49 Channel of Sensitivity
Gate 19 is the flirt, Gate 49 has the resources.  Here we see the channel of the Bride and Groom, the flirtation  before marriage, the setting up of the marriage, the preliminaries.

Gate 37 - Gate 40 Channel of Marriage
Gate 37 is the gate of Friendship, gate of the mouth.  Gate 40 is the gate of aloneness, the gate of the stomach.  This is the marriage contract itself.

Tribal sexuality can become very creative.  It's very sensual.  Ra brings up an important point here that sex can become very oral, and reach beyond penis-in-vagina sex, because most of the world has a issue of fecundity.  In order to prevent pregnancy, there's a lot of sexuality that can be found in this stream that goes beyond procreation.

Romance/Individual Stream

This is the Romance/Individual Stream.  From the Root at Gate 39 to the Emo Solar Plexus at Gate 55 & Gate 22 through to the Throat at Gate 12.

This stream loves words, there's a connection to the throat.  What happens here is the pulse mechanism, it's individual, the creativity is either On or Off.  The feeling here is based on ''I''.  As in, ''I feel good or bad because I'm being        . (picky sexually, strange sexually, limited sexually, etc.)  And the words mean more than the actions.  This is a stream where Romantic Love is highlighted.  Sex is Love, not a commodity like the Tribal Love/Sex and not just another Collective exciting experience.  Consummation is best pushed aside in favor of love songs, poetry, etc.

Excitement/Collective Stream

This is the collective sex, all about ''sharing'' with the collective.  This is visual, so that the sex can be remembered, and shared.  Starting at the Root at Gate 41connecting up to the Emotional Solar Plexus at Gate 30 & Gate 36 to the Throat at Gate 35.

And insatiable drive to keep moving forward.  Sex here is very exciting with the focus on the expereience itself rather than the person or people involved. 

Blame can be found in the collective stream.  Where we see the ''I'' being highlighted in the Individual stream, the ''You'' is highlighted in the Collective.  ''I feel this way because you     . 


Chetan Parkyn HDS Article 4 :

''The marriage and property sex stream runs from the root center, through the emotional center to the ego/willpower center. It moves energetically through the realms of loving, honoring, marrying and obeying. It is based in a contract of who fulfills what and who belongs to whom in a relationship. It is very tactile, as in holding and touching and is also community oriented, in that everyone knows who "belongs" to whom (and in certain cultures, what they had to pay to get them!).

The Romance and disillusionment sex stream runs from the root center through the emotional center to the throat, where it speaks out in "sweet nothings" and poetry. Consummation of romance is the trial because the chase is more engaging than the culmination. This stream is acoustically oriented, based in sounds and sighs, therefore our love songs promise a perfection which is perhaps just unobtainable.

The excitement and disappointment sex stream draws us through experiences one after the other. This is the stream of the Kama Sutra where every fantastic possibility must be explored. The need for fulfillment of desire may be felt as impersonal, where the experience itself is more important than the other person involved in the experience. Desire can even burn out in a state of boredom when all conceivable eventualities have been explored. With advancing age and maturity, the need to constantly fulfill changing experiences diminishes.

Accepting our sexual nature

In each of these sacral connections and sexual streams it can be seen that we are drawn along through the possibilities of pleasures and the possibilities of dissatisfaction. We are slaves to our biology when sexual energy runs us, making our choices for us. However, when we are clear about our own relationship to our own sexuality, we feel an inner sense of satisfaction and balance.

Sexual compatibility begins with recognizing our own personal unique sexual makeup and then allowing for a merging with the energies of our partner. Sexual energy plays through many forms. It is the life force which moves within us and life is our nature and our delight.'' 

November 21, 2010 Daily Spread

Justice Rx

Ace of Pentacles Rx

2 of Cups Rx

Yeah, this doesn't look like the most pleasant day. I'm not actually involved in any kind of legal case so I'm just going to go with the fact that I will be judged harshly today. By the 2 of Cups Rx, I'm going to say it will be by my husband. And that I won't make any money today. Awesome.

____________________________________

This reading was likely a leftover from the fight my husband and I had the day before (November 20th). I was still feeling hurt when I woke up to do my daily spread and, fuck, seeing this didn't feel good either. Honestly, when I saw the Justice Reversed, I saw a limp dick, implying no sex. See how the sword hanging upside down looks like a flaccid penis? And I hate not having sex, for any reason. I don't care if we're fighting, let's have some hate sex! But my new husband, he's so not into that.

However....we were back to our nice selves around noon and by 4 pm we were having some of the best sex... I am having an issue with menstruating this year, and for the past 18 DAYS I was bleeding. My husband is the cunnilingus king and was really wanting to go down on me...and we finally got our chance! And it was so unbelievably amazing!!!! I mean he was giving me orgasms from his mouth that, normally, can only happen with his dick. So, I'm just going to pay more attention I see cards like this come up.

So yeah, I should have cleared my mind a bit more before doing a fresh daily spread.
