TOWER CARD
Upheaval
Chaos
Revelation
Awakening
Excelsior
The Tower shows a tall tower perched on the top of a rocky mountain. Lightning strikes set the building. It is a scene of chaos and destruction.
The Tower itself is a solid structure, but because it has been built on shaky foundations, it only takes one bolt of lightning to bring it down. It represents ambitions and goals made on false premises.
The lightning represents a sudden surge of energy and insight that leads to a break-through or revelation. It enters via the top of the building and knocks off the crown, symbolizing energy flowing down from the Universe, through the crown chakra.
even in times of disaster, there is always divine intervention and the release of the things that no longer serve your highest good

VALOR
"And a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed." Luke 2:35
When the sword pierces, all it feels like is terrible pain. But later we discover that our deepest wounding often becomes the channel through which the most profound grace flows.
My Strength is as the Strength of Ten, because my Heart is pure. And So It Is.

STRENGTH TAROT CARD speaks to the inner strength and the human spirit's ability to overcome any obstacle.
Strength predicts the triumphant conclusion to a major life problem, situation or temptation through strength of character.
The Strength Tarot card is the Major Arcana card of inner strength. It represents mastering raw emotions in order to bring calm to yourself or a situation. Overcoming the obstacles we face in relation to our own doubts, fears and anxieties. In a general context this card indicates that you are learning to master your fears and anxieties, to be courageous and daring. You have all the skills you need to be successful, the focus now is to conquer your inner worries and believe in yourself. Take the time you need to master your emotions, be patient and compassionate with yourself and you will find a new confidence in yourself and your abilities. This is not done by trying to dominate the other person but by gentle positive reinforcement, encouragement and compassion.

SOVEREIGN
majestas est summa in cives ac subditos legibusque soluta potestas
Self sovereignty means the ability to choose the direction of one's own life, and being the exclusive authority over one's own body and mind - The ultimate overseer and authority, in the decision-making process of State and in the maintenance of Order.
Derived from the French souveraineté, the term was originally understood to mean the equivalent of supreme power. Sovereign power is absolute.
A title, unbeknownst to gender, meant to be held by those worthy enough to know Oneself, shall be crowned KING.

LOVE BLOOMS
Suddenly aware of how fragile the heart was, how much darkness was inside it, fighting, always, with the light. Knowing what must be done to save your own heart.
Let your fragile heart bloom. Let bloom where there once was a painful wound. Let the dance of the Divine Light and Sacred Darkness course through your heart, as the flowers bloom, United in Love.

The V EMBLEM is a representation of Two Swords. They symbolize power, protection, authority, strength, and courage; it represents the penetrating power of the intellect. The swords show that there are two choices that lead in different directions and are mutually exclusive to one another.
Fixed a top the swords are Horns of a Bull.
Horns represent salvation, and immortality as well as the horn is extremely durable. Notions of protection and asylum are carried with the horn, leading to face a difficulty and grapple with it without avoiding it; to deal with a difficult situation in a very direct or confident way.

The REDEMPTION EMBLEM holds different layers of symbolism.
The pentacle symbol is viewed as a sign of love, life, light, unity, enlightenment, and a quest for divine knowledge. The five-pointed symbol signifies the five basic elements of life – water, air, fire, earth, and the spirit. The circle around the star-shaped figure symbolizes the universe, which not only contains but also connects them all together. It contains energy and forms a sacred space, providing a form of protection. For centuries, it has been a symbol of protection against evil and forces meant to cause harm.
Parts of current society have morphed this sigil of protection into a representation of immoral practices. But this is not the case.
It is the attention and intention that we give to a symbol that gives it meaning and power.

A flag or banner flown upside down means “to convey a sign of distress or great danger.” -warning.

The ORACLE features an eight pointed star, the Star of Lakshmi. Encased is the Kabbalah Rose-
For as there is a rose above, there is a rose below. Just as the rose which is among the thorns has red and white, we also have both measures of justice and mercy. Just as a rose has thirteen petals, as do we have thirteen measures of compassion encompassing it on all sides. The All Seeing Eye represents clairvoyance, omniscience, intelligence, light, vigilance, moral conscience, and truth- a gateway into the soul.
