    Meditation

    Please see the separate Grade Meditations Page.

    The Tattvas

    These are the Tattvas (sometimes ‘Tatwas’) or elemental symbols of the Vedic system. They are based on different ways of
    building the altars of sacrifice, depending on the offering to be made and its purpose. By combining them in pairs they also
    form sub-elemental symbols, (e.g. Air of Fire) that can be used to more deeply explore the elements. In this form they are
    kin to the Court Cards of the Tarot. In the Practicus you will need to make a set of Tatwa cards, single symbol and doubled.
