Prologue to Elevate - Beyond Belief

Written By D'Elle Milton

Symbols have become archetypes and icons because they represent knowing that transcends time and culture. They hold meaning beyond logic and mythos and carry a message that reaches into cellular memory. Memory calls back to ancient fire circles and drums, as they convey images and shapes reaching into a deeper realm than the surface of our waking consciousness.

Symbols have been interpreted throughout history over millennia and have been twisted and subjugated to support the reigning authority of church or royalty. Hidden meanings, carefully preserved in the Middle Ages, provided the understanding that brought our society into the next age.

Vagaries of brutal conquerors and the unpredictable outcomes of wars have added mystery and layers of subtle inference to images that carry many layers of meaning and interpretation. Debate swells over simple lines that carry the burden of past misunderstandings. The time has come to allow the symbols to speak for themselves.

This series is based on traditional symbols that have been used for generations and hold specific meanings. The difference is that, while the meanings that have become the common interpretation are acknowledged, there is an invitation to come to a deeper connection with the secret, hidden knowledge that lives within each of us. The cellular memory that speaks to the blood in our veins and answers the heartbeat that echoes in our ancestors.  Their voices now play against the backdrop of shadows dancing in the firelight of our legacy. It is time to listen.

Find a quiet place. Ask that your guidance be present and spend a moment simply allowing your eyes to take in the symbol. Ask your ancestors to speak to you of the meaning they remember and allow the layers of meaning and memory to flow into your awareness. The words offered are simply a beginning point. They are not to be confused with a definition or distinct meaning that is set in the stone of a certain mind. These are symbols used to suggest lineages and histories from many corners of the world through many centuries of secret societies and governments and religious orders that had secrets and wished to communicate and retain words that were unsafe to speak aloud.

The symbols used for the Major Arcana are offered in several versions. Some are ancient, some contemporary. All hold meaning that can be transmitted directly to your understanding by opening to what is already within you.

Listen, allow, follow your heart and simply know that you know. It has always been there. There is nowhere to go, nothing to learn, no qualification that is required. Be present and allow your greater consciousness to remember.

D'Elle Milton

D'Elle Milton is a novelist and lifelong student of philosophy, psychology, and the frontiers of consciousness. Her fiction lives at the intersection of speculative science and metaphysical inquiry — where neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality open onto questions humans have been asking for millennia. Her work explores what happens when the walls between individual experience and shared consciousness begin to thin. She writes and publishes independently from California's central Sierra Nevada foothills, just outside of Yosemite National Park.

She is the creator of the Awakening Tarot Trilogy — EVOLVE: The Next Step, Elevate: Beyond Belief, and enLIGHTen: HERE & NOW. The images, while bowing to tradition, offer a unique approach to the symbol system, and each deck and companion book presents a distinct perspective and a comprehensive continuum of discovery.

Timely and deceptively simple, the Dialogue Series is visionary fiction that introduces mythic characters along with a map for creating a Conscious Community.

A Dialogue of Mythic Proportion explores multidimensional experiences through the perception of a shape-shifting dragon, a purposeful Sasquatch, and an innocent lamb who learns to love — unconditionally. They bring the sentient beings of the forest together to find an alternative to the threat of mass extinction. 

A Dialogue of Resonance is the story of an unlikely community finding each other and communicating through a mycelium network at the edge of catastrophic change. Working together, humans and animals find synergy and more than they imagined as the enemy takes on a new disguise. 

A Dialogue of Conscious Community presents a forward-looking perspective many are beginning to recognize as the best approach to survival: cooperation and collaboration rather than competition and greed. Resonance, coherence, and unconditional love creates a foundation that offers infinite possibilities.

She is also a teacher, a musician and singer/songwriter. She has been a travel writer and food critic and loves conducting ceremonies like a “Wisdom Keeper Croning,” Birth and Commitment celebrations, and custom designed events for many life transitions. She is also a Core Shamanic Practitioner, a Birth and Death Doula and facilitates confidential, transformational intensives at her retreat just outside of Yosemite.
