MICRO DESCRIPTION

The Four of Disks is among the most tangible and stable cards in the deck, representing not only the solidness of material reality but the essence of stability. A patchman is seen within his fortress, conserved by the might of the structure around him. It is a safe container from everything around him and embodies tremendous power. He clings to his large coins, a symbol of his wealth, but which could lead to his downfall if he clings too tight.

MICRO READING

The hard work from the three has resulted in the manifestation of the great temple, a safe container inside which safety and security are experienced. Here the structure manifests in the form of law and order, where you have complete control over what goes on inside this...

MICRO DESCRIPTION

The Three of Disks shows two masters looking over a young architect's work, giving him advice and encouraging him to continue his practice. The pyramid in progress stands with three great pillars rising from its corners, which represent the three foundational elements from which all of reality is built: Salt, Mercury, and Sulphur. These foundational elements symbolize the three higher elements above Earth: Water, Air, and Fire, respectively, and the three mother Hebrew letters from which the entire alphabet emerges from. In the distance, the great pyramids of Giza can be observed, showing that we are all building and striving to mirror great works that exist all around us.

MICRO DESCRIPTION

The Two of Disks describes the universal truth that change is the only constant. Everything is in a constant state of change; nothing ever sits still. The card depicts Patchman holding a lemniscate (infinity symbol) which moves through all of the colors and elements, from unity outward and back again. Two yin yangs mark the ever-spiraling balance of this change and the movements of natural forces that spin continuously and mark the advent of new cycles.

MICRO READING

Change is the only constant. Everything is in motion, and everything is always shifting. If you can embrace the change and go with the flow, then the wheel of providence will forever turn in your favor. This card reminds you to be flexible,...

MICRO READING

The Ace of Disks indicates a new physical creation coming into your life, and describes the essence of physicality itself. This physical creation is not tangible, but the stage is set for it to manifest.

MICRO DESCRIPTION

The Ten of Swords shows a Patchman Character lying on the ground, stabbed with ten swords in the form of the Tree of Life across his chest. He looks surprised that he has just been stabbed; he was not expecting this outcome. However, above him, his spirit has already left his body, and now free from the pain and struggle that he was experiencing, looks upward to the next cycle.

MICRO READING

The Ten of Swords indicates the result of the Swords descent into ruin, marking the completion of this cycle and the new beginning to follow.

MICRO DESCRIPTION

The Nine of Swords exemplifies a mind of which continues its descent into a state of cruelty. The mental chaos from the Eight has evolved to the point of causing not only mental, but now emotional struggle haunts the character with nightmares and visions of death and cruelty; in this, we find depression, regret, anxiety, and nightmares to become real.

MICRO READING

This card shows the mind reduced to very primitive instincts, indicating that just as the vulture tears into its prey with survival instincts, the ravage mind tears apart all other energies in order to get what it thinks it needs. Damage, despair, and cruelty are the outcome of this mindset. Thus, the Nine of Swords itself brings awareness to...

MICRO DESCRIPTION

Self-administered confusion is what the Eight of Swords represents, by the very nature of the mind collapsing in upon itself. This is the duel between mental structure and mental freedom, commonly experienced as the duality between the left and right brain hemispheres when they are not in sync. Patchman is blindfolded, and he is unable to see the way out of this chaos, and yet, the pathway is right in front of him. If he could escape his juxtaposed thoughts, he would see the path before he is clear.

MICRO READING

Your mind can be a very unstable place, and this card typifies the mind which has reached its tipping point of chaos. Here the duality between your logical thinking mind and your free-thinking and open mind...

MICRO DESCRIPTION

Six warriors stand facing an enemy; their swords pointed toward him. The enemy points his sword back, a standoff is imminent, but there is a wish for compromise even if it is unlikely. Here there is a crisis; the six swords are all unique and weak on their own, where the might of the single sword is strong and enduring. Thus the equation is balanced in its opposition. As long as these forces stay in a combative state, there can be no harmonious end, though the end will come nonetheless. One will overtake the other.

The Six of Swords shows Patchman rising within his Merkaba toward a glowing realm of Light. Beneath him, the old world is seen crumbling and breaking down; it was only temporary in its nature anyway. While this patchman may be sad for the passing of his old world, there is a bright future ahead, and the only requirement to get there is to live fully in the present moment and journey on!

MICRO READING

It is time to let go of the beliefs and broken ideals of the past, time to rise and meet a new, brighter future, and a more harmonious mental system of understanding. This shift is both scientific and spiritual in nature, for it is an understanding of reality based...

MICRO DESCRIPTION

A warrior appears conflicted as he stands over the swords he has taken from his enemies. The two other warriors walk away, defeated, and saddened. However, nobody is the victor for a massive storm, and a colossal tidal wave is on its way that has the potential to destroy everyone. This card intends to say that when battles are fought with cunning and betrayal, nobody wins.

MICRO READING

You may have just suffered a defeat, or perhaps come out of conflict thinking you have won. However, you are encouraged to check yourself and be very mindful of what is right and wrong in this scenario. The Five of Swords implies a conflict that can lead to a karmic defeat, meaning that no matter how the conflict turned out (whether you won or lost), you...
