Magician
Hi there,
Further to the previously published info, posting here the explanation of the next step (Magician) with analogies to the sources:
Step 6 - Mokosh (Magician). Cleansing. Fire of Knowledge burns all the actions on the level of illusion and destroys everything that exists at the field. The Ukrainian language has many words which cognate with Sanskrit words, because of common ancestors. Therefore many of gods in Ukrainain and Hindu mythology also coincide. Mokosh (slav.) is the goddess of liberation, and in Hinduism moksha word means liberation (from the cycle of birth and death). Big sacrifice is the balance were "death" and "resurrection" are happening. It’s a death of Magician of Illusion and resurrection of a spiritual Mind. This is a complicated card, as exactly at this stage the victory over the dark realm of the individual in his soul happens through the rejection of the world of desires. After uniting with the opposite half of the soul, a human gets (partakes) Secret Doctrine and becomes united with the Dragon of Wisdom. Therefore Magician holds a fiery stick above his head, as the beginning of Kundalini rise. Prince (Knight) has connected with his opposite (Naga), as consciousness and the unconsciousness, in order to rise above the influence of dual perception of the field. Naga sweeps away by her tail, like a broom, all the forms from the field. That means liberation from the cover of ignorance and release of the underground wealth the Light of Mind. Light is an attribute of the all saved. To get the fire, a human need to destroy the personality - lunar body. Lunar body is the magician of illusion that used the field as a table for his imaginary speculation. Therefore the oldest - a peasant, who was guarding the land, has died. A death of lunar body is a necessary condition for the manifestation of the individual Ego.
Spirituality. Fohat (Tibetan) is born every time when two different beginnings by nature, male and female, are connected. He binds them together and separates identical ones.
Yoga. Samana - "a middle breath" which goes from around to a center of the field, therefore it is relevant to the sushumna. The color of Samana is green.
Brih. Upanishad. Saman Itself is a "she" and "he" at one (1.3.22). This is a dispute of the gods and asuras. Only by life-breath the gods win the asuras. And just like a clod crumbles from hitting to (Altar) stone, they have scattered into different directions and died. (1.3.7).
Buddhism. Getting into the flow of release.
Amduat Book. The sixth hour of a night. "Staying of Greatness of the Great God in water depths of the Empress of those who is in Dat". Name of the gates of this kingdom is "With - Sharp - Knives." At the sixth hour of the night the soul of the Great God reaches the place where to the deep of Dat a dead body shell of God is resting, surrounded by the great serpent. This is a connection of body and spirit which occurs in the middle of the night. The victory over the forces of death occurs every night.
Rune Kenaz – a torch. A symbol of knowledge. Inspiration, insight. Uniting of male and female principles leads to a creative change. It’s a sexual desire and procreation. The king. The force of life is born from contacting of ice with fire. A sacrament of transfiguration, transformation. Mystical rebirth through the death from the own fire. The light allows a person to see. The ritual of an obsolete shell burning to reveal to the world a hitherto hidden clean and updated essence. It’s a illumination of a self-discovery path. Kenaz symbolizes the inner light and occult knowledge. Freya taught Odin a sexual magic.
Maya. Kimi – a death. This is a symbol of transformation or inner death. Marriage. The moon-god with a shell on his back - an old man with firewood behind. He is a source of knowledge of all the riches of nature, but not the knowledge of spirit. Shell is a symbol of the eternal cycle of a birth and death. Soul flew by the last breath. The loss of innocence. Growth and a burst of energy. The first Father crossed a huge void along the White-bone Snake river on canoe, to the place of his rebirth.
Tibetan Book of the Dead. Day 6. All 4 pure flames will light in front of you: white, yellow, red and green - water, earth, fire and air. The lords of four limits and Vairochana - White lord of the center ... They all will rush to you in an incredible splendor of lights that burn for you ... Happiness is a love-making. Connect with the goddess and will attain immortality. Connect with yourself and will enter everything, there will not be secrets for you ... Last day for the heart chakram circle.
Upanishads. Two birds – friends who are joined together, cling to the same tree - one of them eats the sweet berries, other one looks on it without eating.
Astrology. Scorpio symbolizes death, but a death of a lunar body, the death of the world of desires. Together with a personality the whole lower world is destroyed - a flourishing field that becomes a valley of death. Scorpio is a pit. Mars, a house ruler, cuts off all the desires associated with wealth and possession of the field, when cames to the center of the field. Scorpio is a manifestation of magnetism (snake) between a man and a woman. A death of lower (personal) consciousness opens a direct way up for Kundalini. Scorpio - Pluto's house, which activates the inner personality within a human. Pluto bestows spiritual and material wealth to the human who gained a holistic consciousness. Uranus is exalted in Scorpio sign. Moon fall (a death of the lunar body) is in Scorpio. Scorpio wins an animal beginning within himself. Scorpio tends to perceive the truth entirely, even if the whole world has to be offered. This is a destruction of obsolete old ideas and recreating true ones.
