2022: In Trumps

The insert shows T: The New Tarot (Cooke) above and the Thoth Tarot (Crowley) below. In Tarot notation there are 22 Trumps but the Fool card is unnumbered. It starts and ends a cycle or sequence in the Trumps. Thus it can be the 22nd card since traditional ranking in Tarot makes the World the 21st card.

Judgment is the 20th card and represents the first two numerals of the calendar year or 20 which is actually the 21st century.  In Cooke’s deck all the Trumps are unnumbered. Judgment in the New Tarot deck is named the Knower, the part of us that functions as the Essential Self. For others this aspect is the Observer.

The Nameless One is the equivalent of the Fool, the aspect of humanity which comes into an incarnation to experience sentience in 3D existence.

Judgment or Trump 20 according to Crowley is the current Aeon or timeframe. It a convergence of  sentient beings upon the Earth for a chance to be 1) raised up or resurrected to a higher energy frequency; (2) be changed or enter sentient into a different type of vehicle or  vessel (3)  or to simply live in the flesh again.  The end of a cycle or era is when everyone wants to be present at the Big Game whether in the stands or out on the field.

Winners and losers both will have experiences but will they remember them when all is said and done? The Fool or Nameless One carries the basic genetic codes  in the scrolls of the Nameless One in Cooke’s deck and in the more traditional Tarot deck as a bag on a stick but the novice or the initiate has to develop their skills by walking the path of life to put the pieces together.

This is what the energy of  2022 shows -Man making moves on the physical plane; Man navigating the wetlands of the psyche in the Astral;  Man  holding on to hope for their team’s victory when the final buzzer or Trumpet sounds.
