LORD OF PERFECTED WORK
Nathan ended up as a guest at a wedding ceremony performed by the holy man in the castle. Nathan was impressed by the deep sense of continuity and magnificence, harmony, and abundance within the ceremony. After the wedding, Nathan was able to exchange a few words with the holy man.
"Thank you for the wonderful ceremony," Nathan affirmed.
The holy man smiled. "So many people helped to put it all together. I was only the one performing it, which was probably the easiest job of all."
"I doubt that, but I know that you have had a lot of practice."
The holy man suddenly became serious. "Let's talk for a moment." He grabbed Nathan by the elbow and took him aside. "You know that in the Tarot Realm, many people work on a spiritual level to create harmony, magnificence, and abundance. Some of these people are empaths, in other words, they are people who take on the negativity of others and neutralize it. Some of them take on the negativity of individuals, but a few are able to neutralize the negativity within groups and communities. And a few are even able to neutralize the negativity of humanity as a whole. Even in the Tarot Realm, few people acknowledge their contributions to society, but without the spiritual support of empaths, we would not experience the harmony, abundance and magnificence and the deep sense of human continuity from one generation to another that we experience at significant ceremonies such as this wedding. In the realm you came from, empaths are rarely acknowledged at all, and sometimes they are even attacked because to some domineering people they seem vulnerable. But empaths are able to experience the dimensions of Universal Consciousness as a natural part of their normal existence. They feel the subtle forces behind existence and strive for the highest good of others. They are so keenly aware of the negativity within others that is it almost in their best interest to neutralize negativity for the highest possible good of everyone around them."
"That sounds almost more like a curse than a blessing."
"In a way, it is a kind of curse, but empaths take on the negativity of others as their sacrifice so that we can all feel a deep sense of connection and continuity and know the magnificence, harmony, and abundance of the human spirit. This sacrifice is an aspect of the ethical triangle comprised of Jupiter, Mars, and The Sun. I'm just curious. Did you feel any subtle forces during the ceremony?"
Nathan thought for a moment. "I did. I suppose that during a wedding it was fitting that I experienced the marriage of heaven and earth, in other words, the influence of Venus, the Goddess of Love."
"Yes. Venus is the Empress who reveals that love prevails."
"And she is married to the Emperor, the Monarch of the Golden Ages. Perhaps without the marriage of heaven and earth, we would not have any golden ages at all."
"True, my friend. Did you feel the magnificence, abundance, and harmony of the human spirit during the ceremony?"
"Yes. I think everyone at the ceremony did. So I was also feeling the influence of Jupiter?"
"When the Emperor and Empress come together, it is only fitting that the great God Jupiter should be present as well."
Nathan smiled. "So does that mean I am an empath?"
"Most people are empathic to some degree. Some have that empathy beaten out of them. In the realm where you came from, many people are severely harmed and have great difficulty experiencing any empathy at all. A few who have been beaten down allow themselves to experience empathy anyway because they have experienced the ethical triangle and know that neutralizing negativity is necessary for the greatest possible good of us all."
"Thank you, my friend, I will remember your wise words if I return to my homeland."
"All Gods are One God, and all Goddesses are One Goddess, and there is only One True Initiator."
Nathan pulled out the Four of Wands from his Tarot deck. The card revealed harmony, abundance, and magnificence. As he gazed at the card, he remembered that the decan association of the Four of Wands is Venus in Aries, and the Tree of Life correspondence is Jupiter in Mercy, the fourth Emanation on the Tree of Life.
He chose the Four of Wands as the central card, as well as The Emperor, which represents Aries, and The Empress, which represents Venus, and The Wheel of Fortune, which represents Jupiter, as modifying cards.
Then Nathan got ready to create an artificial elemental, also known as a living image, with the Tarot Pentagram Spread.
First, since Fire is an active element, he used the Active Invoking Pentagram while laying down the foundation cards, starting in the lower right corner of the pentagram, moving to the upper left corner and continuing from there.
After he placed all of the cards, he tapped each card in the direction of the Active Invoking Pentagram, making sure to tap the one in the position of Fire in the lower right corner to complete the pentagram.
Then he placed the Four of Wands in the middle of the pentagram, saying, "Four of Wands, Lord of Perfected Work, Venus in Aries, Jupiter in Mercy," and tapped the card.
Then, since Aries is a Fire sign, and the Four of Wands represents Venus in Aries, Nathan placed The Emperor as a modifier on the Ace of Wands. As he was tapping the card, he stated, "The Emperor, Aries, 'the Monarch of the Golden Ages.'" After that, he placed The Empress over The Emperor and stated, "The Empress, 'the Marriage of Heaven and Earth.'" Then he placed The Wheel of Fortune on The Empress and stated, "The Wheel of Fortune, Jupiter, 'Aspiration.'"
Then Nathan drew the Active Invoking Spirit Pentagram and the spirit wheel in brilliant white above the Four of Wands on the altar, charging the pentagram and the symbol in the usual way with the Sign of the Enterer. Next, he drew an Invoking Pentagram for Fire directly over the Spirit Pentagram, charging the pentagram and the symbol of Leo in the usual way. At that point, he imagined the symbol of Leo becoming the living image of the Four of Wands, and it came alive in his imagination. As Nathan visualized the living image, he imagined that salamanders filled the living image while at the same time tiny points of winged light flowed from his own aura and filled the living image as well.
After gazing at the three cards for a moment, he stated, "Lord of Perfected Work, I humbly ask thee to help me to continue feeling a sense of continuity as well as the magnificence, harmony, and abundance of the human spirit. Help me to know the energies of the ethical triangle of the Tree of Life so that I feel compassion and understand selfless sacrifice."
Then he ended by saying, "So mote it be!" Before he finished the ritual, he imagined for a few minutes feeling the energies of the ethical triangle and manifesting self sacrifice and harmonizing love.
From that point on, Nathan sometimes felt a greater sense of continuity and the magnificence of the human spirit.
