Tarot and Spiritual Communication
Although the primary purpose of the Halo/Sharp deck is as an archetypal replacement system, the deck is also intended to function as a “spiritual communication” training system. It’s designed to help you open up your crown chakra and connect with The Fabric of Consciousness, but in a controlled way. Rather than opening you up to any entity or energy that happens to be floating around (something that is quite dangerous for the newbie), a Halo/Sharp card guides you and keeps you connected to a single, positive consciousness. In this way you can practice mental control and other key spiritual skills you need in order to safely and effectively expand your channel/connection to the spirit world.
Direct connection with the spiritual world is an intermediate skill on the Lightning Path. It is something you should only practice after you have worked through the Lighting Path Core books, and after you have worked sufficiently long with the Halo/Sharp archetypes. More information on “channeling” (i.e., opening up your crown chakra for direct communication, is available in the intermediate Lightning Path book, the Book of Magic volume one.
