The Crystal Tarot Deck Review

Crystal Tarot deck
The Crystal Tarot © Philip Permutt & CICO Books 2010

If you are using crystals in your spiritual practice and would like to combine them with Tarot, then the Crystal Tarot deck by Philip Permutt is ideal for this purpose.

The cards have wonderfully sparkly vibes radiating from the colours and images.

Each card depicts a crystal together with the traditional Tarot image. For example, we see Moonstones at the feet of the High Priestess and pink Tourmaline with the Ace of Swords.

The small companion book provides the basic information for each card and its chosen crystal.

It also offers a brief introduction to Tarot crystal meditation, includes Chakra correspondences with each card and also includes two spreads.

The pip cards in the Minor Arcana are non-illustrated, which doesn’t make this an ideal beginners’ deck.

But if you would like to learn more about using crystals in your Tarot work, then this deck is a very useful tool for that.

I have listed below the Major Arcana cards and their corresponding crystals as suggested in this deck.

The crystals in brackets are alternatives based on the Golden Dawn correspondences; use the crystal that you feel more comfortable with, works for you better or is available to you; some crystals mentioned seem to be rare and difficult to get hold of.



  • Fool – Tourmaline (Tourmaline, Turquoise)
  • Magician – Labradorite (Citrine)
  • High Priestess – Moonstone (Pearl, Labradorite)
  • Empress – Emerald (Emerald, Rose Quartz)
  • Emperor – Ruby (Ruby)
  • Hierophant – Herkimer Diamond (Topaz, Lapis Lazuli)
  • Lovers – Rose Quartz (Blue Lace Agate)
  • Chariot – Obsidian (Amber)
  • Strength – Citrine (Tiger’s Eye)
  • Hermit – Peridot (Peridot)
  • Wheel of Fortune – Amethyst (Sapphire)
  • Justice – Jade (Jade, Emerald)
  • Hanged Man – Aquamarine (Aquamarine)
  • Death – Crocoite (Bloodstone)
  • Temperance – Red Garnet (Amethyst)
  • Devil – Smoky Quartz (Jet, Obsidian)
  • Tower – Titanium Quartz (Garnet)
  • Star – Lapis Lazuli (Clear Quartz Crystal)
  • Moon – Selenite (Moonstone, Opal)
  • Sun – Imperial Topaz (Herkimer Diamond)
  • Judgement – Fire Opal (Malachite)
  • World – Clear Quartz Crystal (Onyx)

Crystal Tarot StrengthI have drawn a card from this deck to sum up the inherent quality and energy of this deck, and I pulled Strength:

Based on the book’s interpretation of this card, the Crystal Tarot may be especially helpful when at a crossroads and trying to make sense of the possibilities and opportunities available.

Messages received from this deck will offer confidence, encouragement and illuminate the need for balance and show how to achieve it.

Luckily, I have both Citrine and Tiger’s Eye in my crystal collection, but I don’t see the need to purchase all the crystals suggested in order to read with this deck.

You can buy crystals that are linked to your birth cards, e.g. persona, personality and year card.

You can also obtain crystals for those cards you use more often for spells, magick and path working.

Overall, this delightful deck with its gentle images can be used without crystals if necessary.

The naive-style artwork of the cards will also no doubt speak to children, who show an interest in the Tarot.

I managed to get the Crystal Tarot from Amazon UK for less than a Fiver; if you live outside the UK, try the Book Depository (they ship worldwide and are often cheaper than Amazon).

The Devil In The Tarot Of Quotes

devil in the tarot of quotes
15 – The Devil

The Devil in the Tarot of Quotes is a demon-like creature trapped behind metal bards.

With a little effort, he could escape through the gap of the spikes.

The creature isn’t a particularly pretty one to look at.

The idea behind this is that dependency, self-sabotage, complacency, apathy and materialism can suppress our potential, soulful purpose and indeed beauty on a spiritual level.

This isn’t about physical beauty; the most attractive person can be emotionally and spiritually empty and shallow; the physical beauty hiding an ugly soul lacking spirit.

Here we see the reverse; a creature, ugly on the outside, whose inner beauty needs to be revealed and shine.

The Devil reminds us that we can easily become slaves and trapped in a situation we would rather not be in but are too complacent or even comfortable to leave behind.

This can be a relationship you put up with, because a split would be too much of an upheaval on a material level, or you stay “because of the kids”.

You could be stuck in a job that bores your brains out, or doesn’t offer you the career progression you deserve, but you stay, because it pays your bills and perhaps even provides you with the material luxuries you think you cannot live without.

Maybe you are addicted to something – alcohol, drugs, sex, food – are obsessed with someone or something, and on top of it with negative thoughts like “I can’t…” and “It’s impossible…” you put even more obstacles in your way.

Over time, this situation can make you look somewhat unattractive; you smile less, look stressed, worn out, depressed…It happens gradually over time, and you may not realise it.

When this card comes up in a reading, you need to acknowledge that you let your inner Devil take over your life, and now it’s time to regain control and momentum to escape from your trap and move on into a new direction.

How do you do that?

You need to be aware that it can be uncomfortable, painful and an upheaval, but as long as you are clear about what you really want, then you can develop the determination and endurance to persevere along your new path ahead.

Start saying “I can…” and “I will…”.

When you can say “Whatever happens, it will be worth it”, you are on your way to a new adventure.

Life should be fun and an adventure. And making you feel more alive, it needs to be a little risky at times, don’t you think?

Where do you feel trapped in your life right now? What are the reasons? What negative thoughts are holding you back?  

Warmest wishes,

Christiane

Tarot & Astrology: Zodiac

Tarot Astrology ZodiacMost people identify astrology with the wheel of the zodiac and its twelve signs. Even those totally ignorant of astrology know their sun sign.

The term zodiac is derived from the Greek zodiacus, which means ‘little creatures’.

The zodiac is a small band of the sky, about eight degrees on either side of the ecliptic, which contains the motions of most of the planets. This band is divided into twelve 30-degree sections called signs.

The zodiac can be seen as a 12-stage life cycle:

Aries—emergence, birth of the individual

Taurus—physical security in order to grow

Gemini—urge to interact with our immediate surroundings

Cancer—sense of belonging to our immediate family

Leo—ability to express ourselves

Virgo—learning practical skills

Libra—learning about relationships and balancing our needs with others

Scorpio—our longing to share intense encounters, leading to transformation

Sagittarius—gaining a broader perspective of life

Capricorn—establishing our public image

Aquarius—group solidarity

Pisces—identification with the whole, dissolving all to allow for new birth

The zodiac signs represent specific human qualities that colour the way in which we respond to the basic urges (the planets) within us.

The twelve signs of the zodiac are each associated with a trump card of the Major Arcana and a Court Card. By getting to know each of the individual sun signs, the connection with the assigned trump and court cards will become apparent – and debatable!

Tarot & Astrology: Planets

Tarot Astrology PlanetsThe planets represent the motivating forces behind all our actions.

Our ancestors regarded them as gods, and the myths of the gods have been adapted by modern astrology into the concept of archetypes.

The planets-as-gods are associated with characteristics, psychological energies or impulses that all of us express in one form or another.

The word ‘planet’ derives from Greek meaning ‘wanderer’.

Although the Sun and Moon are not technically planets, they are still included in this group and given special importance as ‘luminaries’.

Ancient, medieval and traditional astrology only recognised the planets visible to the eye, but modern astrology now incorporates the newly discovered planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Each planet has its own characteristics and is categorised as either a benefic (helpful) or a malefic (disruptive).

The Sun

Integrity—Self-Discovery—Action

The “inner king”. All planets in our solar system revolve around the sun, which is the symbol of our basic nature; our whole essence comes from the position of the sun at our birth, which is reflected in our sun sign. The Sun is associated with a sense of power and represents our divine inner spark—the vital force that urges us to seek greater expression of our nature.

Ruler of: Leo; in the physical body the Sun rules the heart and the blood as carrier of life-sustaining substances.

In Nature: masculine, hot and dry; mildly malefic (due to the heat)

Positive aspects: creativity, independence, courage, strength, success, affection and generosity.

Negative traits: arrogance, over-confidence or lack of confidence, selfishness.

Associated Tarot cards: The Sun, Strength

 The Moon

Emotions—Self-Nourishment—Instinct

The “inner child”. The second of astrology’s most important celestial body is not a planet but Earth’s satellite. The moon cycles—new moon, waxing, full moon, waning, dark—symbolise the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Its gravitational pull on the Earth’s surface is linked with the tides, and its phases influence numerous biological rhythms in plant, animal and human life.

The Moon represents our imaginative and reflective side, unconscious impulses, emotional reactions, childhood experiences, the mother-child relationship and our need for emotional comfort.

Ruler of: Cancer; in the physical body the Moon rules the breast, womb and digestive system.

In Nature: Feminine, cold and moist; benefic (when waxing) and mildly malefic (when waning)

Positive aspects: sensitive, caring, compassionate, artistic, intuitive

Negative traits: emotional instability, self-absorbance, weakness, confusion, fear.

Associated Tarot cards: The High Priestess, The Chariot
Mercury

Reason—Communication—Self-Awareness

“Messenger of the gods”. The smallest planet and closest to the sun, Mercury is linked with movement, communication, logic, reason, languages and transport. It facilitates comprehension, so we may become thinking, intelligent beings. Mercury also symbolises our ability to make connections and understand the relationship between things, ourselves and the wider world.

Ruler of: Gemini and Virgo; physically Mercury rules hands, shoulders and lungs.

In Nature: Neither masculine nor feminine (it takes on the nature of the planet with which it is connected); cold and dry; benefic or malefic depending on associated planets

Positive aspects: eloquence, wit, good memory, organisational skills

Negative traits: learning difficulties, fickleness, cunning.

Associated Tarot cards: The Magician, The Lovers, The Hermit

 Venus

Relationships—Inner Strength—Personal Choices

“Goddess of Love”. Venus is associated with love and affection, diplomacy, harmony and beauty. Psychologically Venus represents the need for emotional and material security and therefore indicates how we tend to relate to others and handle our finances.

Ruler of: Taurus (night) and Libra (day); physically, Venus rules the kidneys, bladder and sexual organs.

In Nature: Feminine, moderately cold and moist; benefic.

Positive aspects: physical beauty, pleasant manners, diplomatic, artistic, nurturing

Negative traits: laziness, jealousy, emotional coldness, unfaithfulness, debauchery.

Associated Tarot cards: The Empress, The Hierophant, Justice
Mars

Assertion—Drive—Control

“God of War”. The fourth planet from the sun, Mars is associated with the inner drive for action, self-manifestation and both positive and negative aggression, as well as the male sex drive. Mars is named after the Roman god of war and is said to be an influencing factor on all people, objects and matters connected to warfare, bloodshed, conquest and destruction. Mars also rules people, who use sharp, metallic objects such as surgeons, butchers, cooks and tailors.

Ruler of: Aries; physically Mars rules the primary sexual organs.

In Nature: Masculine, hot and dry; malefic.

Positive aspects: physical strength, courage, decisiveness, a sense of fair competition

Negative traits: uncontrolled anger, ruthlessness, violence, dishonesty, tyranny.

Associated Tarot cards: The Tower, The Emperor

 Jupiter

Expansion—Generosity—Optimism

“King of the gods”. Jupiter is named after the Roman king of the gods and is traditionally known as the Greater Benefic, bringer of good fortunes. Jupiter is associated with judges, lawyers, teachers, healers, religious leaders as well as seekers of knowledge and truth. The function of Jupiter is to enlarge, make fruitful and bestow a feeling of being protected and a spirit of hope and optimism. Jupiter influences our self-confidence and our ability to extend our horizons.

Ruler of: Sagittarius; physically Jupiter rules the thighs and liver.

In Nature: Masculine, hot and moist; benefic.

Positive aspects: success, happiness, wisdom, thoughtfulness, honesty, justice.

Negative traits: vanity, self-indulgence, recklessness

Associated Tarot cards: Wheel of Fortune, Temperance
Saturn

Hardship—Conscience—Self-Discipline

“God of social order”.  The second largest planet of the solar system used to be regarded as the Greater malefic, associated with loss, hardship, loneliness and death. In modern astrology Saturn’s reputation is more balanced and represents our innate desire for order, form, structure and security. This in turn is connected with generational conflicts, conventional views and issues of fear, repression and control. Saturn rules natural and man-made structures, hierarchies, organisations, authorities, the karmic law of cause and effect and even time itself.

Ruler of: Capricorn; physically Saturn rules the skeleton.

In Nature: Masculine, cold and dry, melancholic and malefic.

Positive aspects: discipline, patience, reliability, honesty, practical talents, responsibility.

Negative traits: rigidity, restriction, narrow-mindedness, excessive limitations, fear of life.

Associated Tarot cards: The World, The Devil

 Uranus

Inner Voice—Change—Idealism

“God of the sky”. The first Trans-Saturnian planet was discovered in 1781 shortly before the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789. Due to this timing, Uranus is associated with non-conformity and revolutionary tendencies; it is also an indicator of new discoveries, sudden and unexpected events, disruptions and unpredictable occurrences. Uranus is linked with modern technology, electricity, aviation and space travel. Psychologically, it represents the individual’s need for self-realisation and freedom from restrictions.

Ruler of: Aquarius; physically Uranus rules ankles, calves and the nervous system .

In Nature: Masculine

Positive aspects: originality, inventiveness, independence

Negative traits: stubbornness, impracticality, uncontrolled emotional outbursts, delusions

Associated Tarot cards: The Fool, The Star
Neptune

Inspiration—Obligation—The Collective

“God of the sea”. Neptune, the eighth planet from the sun, is linked with the unseen and mysterious. Neptune dissolves boundaries, such as between the conscious and unconscious, between individuals and between truth and illusion. Neptune represents our vision of perfection and our ideals. For most of us this will be our fantasy world, an escape of reality. Neptune gives inspiration to poets, artists, musicians, mystics and humanitarians.

Ruler of: Pisces; physically Neptune rules feet and circulation.

In Nature: Feminine

Positive aspects: sensitivity, compassion, empathy, spirituality, psychism, imagination

Negative traits: delusion, deception, drug abuse, apathy, neediness, irrational fears

Associated Tarot cards: The Hanged Man, The Moon

 Pluto

The Unconscious—Transformation—Letting Go

“God of the underworld”. The smallest and most dense planet of the solar system, Pluto is associated with sexuality, physical and spiritual birth, with death and resurrection. It symbolises old patterns that need to be eliminated if we are to grow and develop. Pluto forces us to come to terms with the darker, more instinctive side of nature. If we try to avoid it, the result will be havoc, physical and emotional upheaval.

Ruler of: Scorpio; physically Pluto rules the prostrate, skin, finger and toe nails, cancer cells.

In Nature: Masculine

Positive aspects: psychological insight; the ability to heal and regenerate with radical creativity

Negative traits: obsessive compulsive tendencies

Associated Tarot cards: Judgement, Death

Introduction to Tarot Astrology

Tarot AstrologyAstrology is one of the oldest, most popular and well-known divinatory systems.

Most people know their sun sign, and horoscopes are printed in thousands of newspapers and magazines around the world.

Over the years people have tried to combine tarot with astrology, and today we seem to have a system that works well.

The advantage of assigning astrological meanings to tarot cards is a more detailed understanding of both tarot and astrology.

With astrological attributions for the cards it is even possible to determine the timing of a specific event.

The most common system used today is that of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

However, this system has recently been updated to take into account the discovery of three new planets (the members of the Golden Dawn only new the seven planets of the ancients—the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn).

Now the connection of the ten planets and twelve zodiac signs with the 22 cards of the Major Arcana works out perfectly.

Astrological attributes are also assigned to the Minor Arcana cards.
