The Aces

I have learned the Suit Keys and followed the meditation exercises for a week and I can tune into the feeling of the suits for all 40 cards randomly.

This must be completed before moving on. If you haven't done this yet, click here to go to the Suit Key exercises.

The Aces

The Aces are the "essence" of the suit keys. They contain all facets of the suit.

Take all 4 Aces out of your deck and place them in front of you. Run your hands over them really feeling the vibrations of their SUIT KEYS. 

Feel the change in energy and emotions ans your fingertips tune into the "esoteric" vibrations of the cards.

They are the beginning... the seen or unseen, known or unknown, good or bad.

You might have heard the term "your path or journey" when discussing the tarot. The ACES are the BEGINNING of that path or journey.

Learning the Aces, I will use a similar meditation exercise to the one when learning the suit keys.

I have made a routine of spending some quiet time on theses exercises just before bedtime. I feel it allows my subconscious to "mull over" all the info while I'm sleeping. However you can choose any other time that works for you. Set aside some time (30 minutes to 1 hour) to relax and really concentrate on your cards.

• Pick up the Ace of Wands, look at the picture and symbols, bring it up to your Inner Eye
• FEEL the BEGINNING of ENTERPRISE AND DISTINCTION coming to life.
• Hold the card to your Minds Eye and say "BEGINNING of ENTERPRISE AND DISTINCTION"
• Repeat this phrase and concentrate on the words until you feel your conscious mind has absorbed it.
• Still holding this thought and feeling of "BEGINNING of ENTERPRISE AND DISTINCTION", bring the card to your Solar Plexus and let the energy of the Wand's Suite Key flow through you.
• After a few minutes relax and put down the Ace of Wands.
• Clear your mind and repeat these steps with the other 3 aces, using the corresponding Suit Key and energy.

Reminder from our previous lesson:

Wands = ENTERPRISE & DISTINCTION

Cups = LOVE & HAPPINESS

Swords = STRUGGLE & ANIMOSITY

Pentacles = MONEY INTERESTS

These exercises are meant to help develop intuition, and "Higher Consciousness". They are not to merely memorize the cards. And you should give it your complete concentration.

Side Note: When we give a project our full attention and concentration, something really interesting happens. Our subconscious mind picks up and records tons of information and details that our conscious mind isn't aware of. On any given day we have "a million things to do" and our conscious mind is thinking about schedules, deadlines, tasks, problems... When we emerge ourselves in projects or task that are essential to our physical, mental, and spiritual well being, our subconscious mind releases that information that we need, exactly when we need it, to get the project done in the best way for the greater good of all.

The ACES are THE BEGINNING of the SUIT KEYS and the BEGINNING of the SEED PATTERNS of the Tarot.
