«El mecanismo de sustitución que he llamado sofístico podría ser analizado de este modo: La Etnología opera con contenidos positivos categoriales —según nuestra tesis: con los contenidos de la "cultura bárbara": la cavada, el parentesco kariera, pero también el mito del "árbol mediador entre cielo y tierra" o la brujería. Ahora bien-, estos contenidos categoriales, aunque científicamente deban ser tratados con la más escrupulosa "neutralidad", de hecho están entretejidos con las "Ideas generales" —sean filosóficas, sean teológicas, sean metafísicas— de tal suerte que fácilmente pueden ser articulados en el marco de una concepción "general" más o menos implícita, y que resulta aparentemente derivada de los propios "datos etnológicos". La evidente articulación de estos datos con aquellas Ideas hace pensar, en virtud del sofisma de "afirmación del consecuente" que tales Ideas están articuladas, apoyadas internamente en los datos etnológicos. Sin embargo, por decirlo así, son las Ideas (metafísicas o teológicas) las que van "en busca de los datos etnológicos" y no son los datos etnológicos los que hacen brotar las Ideas genuinas, internas a los datos. Se trata de una utilización que permite grados muy finos de virtuosismo—de sofística.»

People are seriously sleeping on the White Numen Tarot, and Numen theory in general.

If you consider yourself to be an animistic witch or tarot reader (or both), this post is for you. The White Numen Tarot by AlbaBG is a tarot deck where the imagery is focused on the animals, not the people, and specifically based on the concept of numen as described by the author of El Animal Divino (1985), a wonderful piece on the philosophy of religion.

In El Animal Divino (The Divine Animal), Gustavo Bueno identifies Numen as the "center of Will and Intelligence", and adds,

"in classical latin sources, [numen] references a center of effective and potent desire. [...] In the classics, many times, instead of will itself, it reflects the corporeal expression of will, specifically the nodding of the head that expresses willingness (numine capitum). It also represents the Affirmation or Willingness of the Gods (numine deorum), or the Gods themselves (simulacra numinum being the Statues of the Gods), or wild genii (silvarum numina fauni)".

The tarot deck reflects this by adding two extra cards on the deck, "White Numen" and "Black Numen". While both signify the presence of numen influencing the situation, which card is pulled indicates the nature of said influence into the situation, whether it is creative or destructive, additive or corrosive, enlightening or obscuring.

If you add into that the imagery of each animal and their meaning, their actions and how that relates back to the concept of numen (in this case, signified by specific animals with specific associations doing specific actions in each card) you can get very deep messages that are surprisingly easy to read. Add in any UPGs that you may have (associations of certain animals to particular Gods or Spirits, or just in regards to omens and signs) and you get even more possible meanings that are, again, deep yet very clear, particularly for more seasoned practitioners.

And I think that's a very useful tool to utilize if you want to take into account not just the human influences over a situation, but also the non-human, the divine, the spirits, and anything and everything numen. You can choose to read the animal meanings metaphorically (if no Numen card shows up in your reading) or literally (as in, an omen, a sign or a divine message, if one of the two, or both, Numen cards show up in your reading). It puts the reading into perspective to include the wider spiritual ecosystem and I just think that's neat.

Honestly, just the fact it introduced me to El Animal Divino is great by itself, because it's a book that has helped to put into words and deepen my understanding of religion in general, but also specifically of animal cults and how they relate to human and non-human spirits. But it doesn't stop there, having the deck allows you to identify and even communicate with said numen and thus it's one of the many ways to apply the theory of the book, into magical practice. It's a tool with a really cool theory behind it that is laid out in the open for anyone who may want to take it and adapt it into their practice.

The only problem? I don't know if the book has an english translation. So far i've only been able to find it in spanish, but hey, it's definitely worth at least an attemp at translation on any of the many translation sites you can find online.

«La Idea de Materia desempeña en la Ontología general materialista, como hemos dicho, las funciones que corresponden a la Idea de Ser en la metafísica clásica no materialista.

Pero la Idea de Materia sólo puede entenderse como término de un proceso crítico regresivo. En el instante en que la materia sea pensada como una entidad o conjunto de entidades que pueden ser consideradas en sí mismas, recaeríamos en la metafísica.»
