October 1961
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for October 1961 is The Hierophant. It’s the same for everyone alive this month, set by the date alone, and it sits in the initiation third of the wheel.
The Hierophant is the part of you that learns from what came before. He is tradition, lineage, the knowledge that gets handed down rather than invented from scratch. He stands for belonging to something older than yourself.
How October 1961 becomes The Hierophant
The collective year card for 1961 is The Star (17). Add the month number (October is month 10): 17 + 10 = 27, which wraps around the twenty-two to 5. Card 5 is The Hierophant.
