The Thunder, Perfect Mind

Fulgour

Hear me in gentleness, and learn of me in roughness.
I am she who cries out,
and I am cast forth upon the face of the earth.
I prepare the bread and my mind within.
I am the knowledge of my name.
I am the one who cries out,
and I listen.

Fulgour

I was sent forth from the power,
and I have come to those who reflect upon me,
and I have been found among those who seek after me.
Look upon me, you who reflect upon me,
and you hearers, hear me.
You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves.
And do not banish me from your sight.
And do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing.
Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time.
Be on your guard!
Do not be ignorant of me.
For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin.

Of course (for me), this is The Papess. This poem, that I knew only partially (thanks for the link), reminds me also of the famous “matter of the alchemist”, so despised and ignored, and still…

The Sophia of Jesus Christ

After he rose from the dead, his twelve disciples and seven women
continued to be his followers, and went to Galilee onto the mountain
called "Divination and Joy". When they gathered together and were
perplexed about the underlying reality of the universe and the plan,
and the holy providence, and the power of the authorities, and about
everything the Saviour is doing with them in the secret of the holy
plan, the Saviour appeared...

I'm not sure what it all means, but somebody made
an effort to communicate these thoughts, so long ago.

Oh, where do you think it would take us, to discuss this thoughts and the kind of knowledge they contain, in relation to Tarot?

La Papess is the Tarot. The most ancient of all sacred
beliefs grew from and centered upon the eternal Moon.

Humm… do feel like explaining this in a more detailed manner? You see, I think I agree to it all (and it is A LOT), but I would like to be sure I do…

As we may easily dismiss the notion that the Tarot is a medieval fairytale,
and simply begin with the sacred alphabet of the Phoenicians, there is
an abundant reservoir of pre-judeo-cum-christian history and literature.

I cannot recommend anything other than a personal journey.
No matter where on looks, someone else has been there before,
except within ~ guided by the trusting light of the pure spirit.
Inanna, Ishtar and Astarte have been deliberately made obscure.
