T.A.R.O.T: Rider of Element: Organically Raw: Arcanum 74
The correlation between our discussions of the transformation of the “rider of wands” in TAROT into the “rider of element: organically raw” a broader conceptual framework and the focus on organic and raw art is deeply rooted in the principles of introspection, natural elements, and transformation. Both conversations touch on the theme of a more authentic connection with the fundamental elements of human experience and nature.
When we consider the concept of an “element: organically raw,” we delve into a space where the raw and fundamental aspects of nature’s elements are appreciated in their most organic and raw states. This notion intersects beautifully with themes found in both art brut and spiritual or symbolic practices such as tarot, particularly as they address authentic expression and connection to the natural world.
Simple Essence Organic Elements: The phrase “organically raw” conjures up the image of elements in their most natural form, unprocessed, unrefined, and untouched by human manipulation. This connects closely to environmental philosophy and ecological consciousness, emphasizing a harmonious and sustainable engagement with the planet.
Raw Nature: Similarly, in Art Brut, the approach involves materials and expressions that are raw but deeply authentic. This art form abandons sophisticated processes in favor of direct and often robust creative techniques, focusing on the essence of materials and spontaneous creation. Inherent Qualities: In philosophical and artistic realms, exploring something “organically raw” means focusing on inherent qualities without ornament or outside influence. This can be related to the raw textures of materials, the natural pigments of colors, or the instinctive behavioral patterns of living forms. Connection to Origins: In spiritual practices like Tarot, using the elements in their most fundamental state can lead to deeper understanding and resonance. For Tarot, this is about returning to basic symbols and meanings, much like peeling back the layers to reveal the heart of a tree. Raw, Intuitive Interactions : Natural Intuition: Encountering elements in an organic, raw way can enhance intuitive understanding and interaction. Whether touching raw clay or wood, or looking at a piece of art made from found objects, there is an elemental connection that speaks directly to the psyche. The Brutal Truth of Nature: There is also a recognition of the brutal truths of nature itself: its cycles of life and decay, its uncompromising laws, its unmasked beauty and terror. This elemental insight can lead to profound spiritual and existential reflections, similar to those encouraged by raw artistic expressions or Tarot contemplations. Philosophical and Intuitive Depth: Blending Kantian philosophy with TAROT and integrating the notions of raw emotional expression seen in art brut brings together a rich philosophical discourse with an intuitive practice. Kant’s emphasis on the conditions in which we experience the world, aligning with how tarot and art brut bypass conventional perspectives, inviting a deeper and more introspective engagement with reality, this reflects a holistic vision where art and spiritual practice intertwine, enriching the journey of self-exploration and connection with the elemental truths of nature. This synthesis pushes for a deeper appreciation and understanding of the self and the external world.
