Using The Servants of the Light Tarot
Imagery to represent what is currently around Madeleine McCann
The Star card has been used consistently as the significator for Madeleine McCann ... is appearance in the spread is therefore no surprise; whether it is believed or not ... this tarot image was chosen randomly and not placed in this spread beforehand. The interesting pattern within this spread are the crystals cast on the cards ... they make a clear arrow pointing from left to right ... towards the Strength card ... and also show a trend for some unknown reason of from the future (the right hand side of the spread) towards the past (the left hand side of the spread). An image of captivity can be seen as one of the images around her ... also disappointment ... and continued disappointment in the near future. These are not surprising images considering the circumstances of this mystery. There are no indications of her life have being threatened in the past or in current surroundings ... but, the two images in the past (left position) suggest that Madeleine has undergone some recovery from an illness or a trauma. Both the strength card and the temperance card are regularly used as indicators of recovery from illness or operations in professional sittings undertaken with this deck of cards. The remaining two cards offer hope for the future ... though the Maker of Spheres does not indicate that Madeleine's life decisions are in her own hands. She is very much under the mentorship of someone. This is again on the theme of the captivity card ... she is clearly kept hidden ... and out of the public eye. The Keeper of Staves is a card which strongly suggests diplomacy and negotiations relating to Madeleine in the future position. It is however very much a closely guarded secret as to what the current events are that relates to this mystery. A firm grip has been kept on the lid of this box of secrets. Where is Madeleine? That is the question being asked to a higher plain ... the images of an abbey filter through the mind without it being an intentional answer to the riddle. Religious connections ... a place steeped in religious history ... a likely catholic or christian land ... her captors ruled on a daily basis perhaps by ritual or prayer ... Madeleine herself under strict instruction? (Copyright Matthew James 18th August 2011)
