garyFLR I got my first Mother Peace deck in 1989 in Lewisham - small world! :) My first post on this thread begins with a link to the card deck with images. Also, facade dot com is free and fun. My issue with the angular cards is not so much about it being a cheat - rather, it's kind of irrelevant and useless. By that I mean that judging whether something is good or bad, positive or negative - polarities, if you will; are too limiting, and if there is a need to take a "side," that is sole-y for the querent to decide. For example, "I got fired from my job today." The cards can show the circumstance but labeling it as "good" or "bad" - that's for each of us to decide for ourselves, in our own time. As for the circular cards... picture a clock face (LOL, old school), so noon to midnight and back again around the clock. Using "tilts" as a marker of sorts, you can gage the energy flow. I'll use the 5 of swords as an example because it is an easy one to understand. Please keep in mind the clock face and the fact that the circular cards still have an upright or reversed position... but add tilts. From 6 to 12, the left side of the circle, the energy is either stifled, turned inward or coming from outside &/or, from the past. From 12 to 6, the right side of the circle, the energy is being sent out from you. This will be clear just below. The Five of Swords - 5 = disruption, change and Swords = mental realm, thought The core spiritual energy of the 5 of swords is shifting energy and challenging thoughts. Those thoughts then inspire emotions. Emotions are the energy of motion -so action follows. When the 5 of swords is at 12 o'clock it shows a mean, nasty thought. When the top is at the following hours, the meanings shift. 12 - mean & nasty thought / dissatisfaction / tolerance 1 - disapproval - a "look" 2 - cursing/ anger 3 - raised voice 4 - full out argument now 5 - outburst, may be physical violence or throwing things Notice the escalation of the nasty energy and that the energy is being "sent" outwards 5:59 - homicide Now, the left side of the 5 of swords (same energy, but now it turns inwards) 11 - sadness 10 - crying 9 - depression 8- drinking, gambling, etc... spiritual danger zones 7 -self-harm, cutting, grief 6:01 - suicide Please notice that 5:59 is homicide and 6:01 is suicide. So, what then, is 6:00? The creative way out, using the energy for spiritual growth... the energy came to such an intensity that "something" must change. The original "mean thought" becomes so intolerable that it bursts and sends the querent into growth and change. There's more to it, than that, of course. For instance, positions, spreads and anything unique to that person will affect the skeletal meanings I just listed by clock face, at hour, tilts. Anyone else want to jump in and describe how they read the 5 of Swords? And, I want to add this... what comes to mind, in the querent, is equal, if not more important, than what flows through the reader's mind, while reading.
