Review
by Bonnie Cehovet for "Aeclectic Tarot"
The
two CD "Integral Tarot Meditation" set is a companion
to the "Integral Tarot" book by author Suzanne Wagner.
The Seeker is taken on an incredible journey within themselves,
to meet the archetypes of the Tarot, note how they function
in their lives, and integrate them into their being.
This CD set includes a meditation for each of the Major Arcana,
Guided Meditations for the Flow and Sequence of the Major Arcana
and the Minor Arcana, and short meditations for the Court cards.
Individual meditations have not been included for the Minor
Arcana on the CD's, but written meditations for these cards
have been included in the accompanying twenty-seven page booklet.
This work is based on the "Thoth Tarot", and the foundation
set by Aleister Crowley. While there are significant differences
between the "Thoth Tarot" and the widely used "Rider-Waite
Tarot" (i.e. the inclusion of three Magus (Magician) cards,
and the retitling of a majority of the cards), this CD set could
be used successfully by all Tarot students, regardless of which
deck was their primary deck.
The archetypal energy of the cards comes to life, as the Seeker
is taken though a series of guided meditations that introduce
them to the archetypes as they are functioning in their own
life. The Seeker meets the energy of each of the Major Arcana
(Trumps), Minor Arcana (Pips - the numbered cards), and Court
cards, and is guided into integrating it within themselves.
Two very important things are accomplished here: (1) it promotes
healing within the Seeker as they integrate the energies in
their life, and (2) it leads to a deeper understanding of the
cards themselves.
There are two journey's here - one is a journey through each
of the cards, the other is a journey through the Major Arcana,
called a "Flow Journey", as the Seeker moves from
card to card, seeing how each card is built on the foundation
of the cards before it, and seeing what the cycle of integration
looks like, and how it is experienced. The Flow Journey? That
would be the Fool's Journey!
Musician Derek Keith has created a musical background that in
itself is so fully integrated into the meditations that one
does not think "great music!", one thinks "great
experience"! Kudos to Mr. Keith!
These guided meditations are a tool that any individual can
use to help promote personal growth. They are meant to be used,
not to sit on a shelf somewhere. They can be used by individuals,
in a group setting, in a reading setting with a client, or for
use by therapists and other mental health professionals in a
formal counseling setting.
Wagner has created a knowledgeable foundation for integrating
the archetypes of the Tarot, and their wisdom, in a completely
safe environment. This CD set is an investment in better living!
Note: Suzanne Wagner lectures and teaches on Tarot, Numerology,
and Palmistry, and holds Intuition workshops throughout the
United States. More information on her work can be found at:
