 Tattwa Cards !
!
Select a card, and sit comfortably in a
chair. Meditate upon the image you see
on the card, and use it as a focal point for
your meditation for several minutes.!
!
Transfer your gaze gently from the card
to a blank wall or to the back of another
Tattwa card — a blank white surface.
The card’s reverse image should appear
on the white surface.!
!
After you have worked with all the cards
in this way at least once, try using them
as a focal point for meditation on the
elements and sub-elements: the black egg
for Spirit, the silver moon for Water, the
red triangle for Fire, and the blue circle
for Air.

Tattwa Cards!
! Tattwa Cards are originally from ‘the East’. They entered the Western
Mystery Tradition through the work of the Order of the Golden Dawn, and
possibly through the Theosophical Society where they were a practice to help
train the mind to see the five elements of Air (blue circles), Fire (red
triangles), Water (silver moons), Earth (yellow squares), and Spirit (black
eggs). These cards may be cut out, four to a page, and used for meditation on
the various elemental forces. The large symbol on the cards represents the
core element; the smaller symbol within the larger element represents the
aspect of the element — thus a silver moon within a black egg is the Water of
Spirit.!
! Each card should be subject to study and meditation, until the card may
be used as a gateway or portal to the specific qualities of that aspect of the
elements. Israel Regardie said of the Tattwa cards that they are best made for
oneself, and that they are not common symbols in western magic in part to
help ensure that the brain is not deliberately deceiving itself about the truth
of contact with the elemental forces.
