The Wheel and Justice

Between Justice and the Wheel, there is a little gap - like the hole in a bead. If you explore there long enough, you will find a territory bigger than the rest of the Tarot. The key elements are Balance and Spin, so what we are ultimately discussing is "the eye of the storm". This may be the great secret of the 22 major arcana: that they teach us a way of sustaining ourselves at the center of a whirlwind of tumultuous events - life - in such a way that we are unharried by that whirlwind. We have found peace within it. There may be many different routes to find this space, but they will have this in common - they will all involve the maxim "know thyself". So. Let all 22 keys be your allies - shun none of them, let them be your teachers. Find your way to your own grotto - in the heart of (and outside) the Tarot. Thread it like a bead onto your Mala. This is how to become of service as a reader - not merely to know the meanings, but to have walked the paths, to have found the clearing, to see how others may find it in their own way, and in their own terms. This is the Tarot's true gift - liberation.
