Wisdom is something that changes with your thoughts. You are able to connect to the entire wisdom out there and in you in just one second. So why do you long for more wisdom? It can be explained like this. You are the sum of your experiences. In this life and in many many lives before you experienced a human existence on earth. All this is stored in your energetic field. I can tell you you would be surprised what you could find if you would open this all at once. So as your soul is wise she opens the only chapter after chapter for you and this you call wisdom. Wisdom is experience. Wisdom is having knowledge of how to deal with things best. Wisdom is all you need and all you have with you all the time.

Five – The Hierophant
2021 is a 5 in tarot, you simply count together all numbers (2+0+2+1) and get 5. My divorce will take place on May 5th at 5 p.m. Yes today, that’s interesting, isn’t it? I love this kind of coincidence as such has always been telling me to be on the right path. My birthdate counts to a five too, so this means my personality card is the Hierophant in ancient tarot cards. The Hierophant card in the major arcana is noted for bridging the gaps between the physical and spiritual worlds. He denotes a deeply spiritual quest. The hierophant is connected to inner wisdom and teaching it.
How to make use of a Five, when you see it or when it finds you somehow:
-
knowledge in you
-
you as the holder of that knowledge
-
potential in you for passing on this knowledge
-
spiritual initiation
-
get to know those who came before you (ancestors)
-
think about the identities you hold –
-
teach and facilitate this wisdom you gained
-
indicates someone who is full of energy and has to learn to channel it responsibly
-
brings adaptability, independence of thought and action, and an unwillingness to conform
-
can be used to increase versatility and independence, with a focus on balance
Angeles Arrien has written a helpful guide on Aleister Crowley’s tarot, which I worked with a long time. Maybe you have access to this treasure.
Five as a significant number in nature
Humans have five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. And if something doesn’t happen very often, then “you can count it on your 5 fingers”. Some plants have five-pointed flowers and five-membered fruits. We have 5 senses -sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste- to experience the world, and sometimes you do not even have these together (translated from a German saying it means: you better should if you want to be taken seriously)
Five in Numerology
The meaning of the number 5 – it is cosmopolitan, visionary, adventurous, constructive, and restless, Mercury is the associated planet. The pentagram, the five-pointed star (druid’s foot) protects against evil spirits. The number 5 as a life number stands for freedom and change. The life of these people is geared towards gaining new knowledge and experience through change. She is characterized by independence, curiosity, and temperament. You have a good sense for trends, can inspire others, and bring a lot of momentum to your family and your environment.
Leonardo Da Vincis “Vitruvian Human”
„“Furthermore, the center of the body is naturally the navel. If a person lies on his back with his arms and legs spread apart, and you insert the point of the compass at the place of the navel and draw a circle, the fingertips of both hands and the tips of the toes are touched by the circle. Just as there is a circle on the body, the figure of a square will also be found on it. If you take a measurement from the soles of the feet to the top of the head and apply this measurement to the outstretched hands, the result will be the same width and height as with areas that are square according to the angle. “

Five in Mythology
The number 5 was associated with the Babylonian goddess Ishtar and her Roman parallel, Venus, and the symbol for both was the five-pointed star or pentagram. In England, a knot tied in the form of the pentagram is called a lover’s knot because of this association with the goddess of love.
The number 5 was also important to the Maya, who placed a fifth point at the center of the four points of the compass. The five fingers of the human hand lent a certain mystery to 5, as did the five extremities of the body (two arms, two legs, head). A human placed in a circle with outspread arms and legs approximates the five points of a pentagon, and if each point is joined to its second nearest neighbour, a pentagram results. The belief that 5 was sacred led to an extra element, augmenting the traditional four that made a human being. This fifth essence, or quintessence, is the origin of the word quintessential.
Card decks I love by Artist Friends
Tarot cards have always helped me through tough times and sent me clear messages about where to move next or where to wait or let go. They have always helped me come back to my center, hear my voice, and trust my soul. Today I love to use simpler cards with all-over positive and uplifting content -there are many artists who create wonderful decks with their art on them. Maybe this could be a project for myself also, just need some time and focus, working on that first 🙂
