Dreams, illusion and the crossroads of the psychic world.
Upright
Intuition is heightened and nothing is quite what it seems. Move carefully by moonlight, trust your instincts and test what comes up from the deep. Psychic sensitivity is strong now.
Reversed
Confusion clearing, or fear and projection distorting what you see.

The spirit work
Hekate, keeper of the crossroads and the keys, presides here. In the Goetia, Orias teaches the virtues of the stars and the mansions of the planets. Read at a three-way crossing of paths or on the dark moon, and leave something for the goddess.
A question to sit with
What is my intuition telling me that my fear keeps interrupting?

Appears as a lion on a strong horse, holding two hissing serpents. Teaches the virtues of the stars and the mansions of the planets, transforms, gives dignities and favour. Goetia 59.

The meanings, the questions and the correspondences are the guidebook’s own. The paths, letters and astrology follow the Golden Dawn’s attributions; the angels are the Shem ha-Mephorash, as the deck gives them; the spirits, shown only when you ask for them, are the seventy-two of the Goetia. Where each comes from, and what is old and what is modern, is set out in the guidebook’s Notes on sources and seals.
