Sic Dixit Pater Cornutus

So Says the Horned Father

My first Tarot deck ever was a Marseille Tarot, which I loved. Within a couple of years, I had been seduced to the Rider Waite Tarot, although something about the images on the Minor Arcana cards bothered me, for some reason I could not then articulate.

Later, however, I cast the Rider-Waite aside, when I learned that none of the Wise, whom I later met, ever used it. And they taught me the distinction between the old style deck and the new one. And then they taught me that I could read the old style deck like a book. In fact, I could read the world like a book. In fact, I was learning what some Witches call "True Speech."

As my mind grew accustomed the idea, I found that it was so. I could spread out 21 cards and read the Seeker's world. If I had only a brief question, I could draw fewer cards and get a sentence as an answer. I learned that the World and the Holy Powers could and would speak to me, if only I submitted to their language, in humility.

I once asked the Horned Father a question on a certain topic, and combed out the above cards. This was His answer:

"My child [He always calls me that], let the Sons of Darkness dig their own graves."

Word.

He was telling me to mind my own business and to not get caught up in the situation facing me.

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
