Tarot Cards are tools used for Tarot Divination, using the arcana and the meaning of the cards to predict events that are coming to pass. Each card has a meaning and, applied properly, a skilled user can understand the future to an extent.
Individual Cards
The Fool
The Fool card was akin to the ace. Depending on the game being played, it was often the lowest card or the highest. Valueless or highly valued. Powerless or powerful.
The High Priestess
The High Priestess addresses the veil of awareness, about intuition. For those of us who know about the practice, it has a second meaning. Connections.
The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man suggests suspension. Patience, waiting to act to achieve a better outcome. Being stuck. Despite the implications of the name, the man is often depicted hanging from his ankle, not his throat.
The Chariot
Victory, control, overcoming obstacles. It can mean travel, reaching a new point in life. It suggests aggression finding a clear outlet, being honed, often in the frame of being articulate, winning arguments, and confidence. The black and white sphinxes that pull the chariot frequently refer to mysteries, and the stance of the man in the chariot suggests will being enforced, not strength. Schemes, rhetoric, arguments, travel, it might point to some reckless path to ruin, or to glory.
Heirophant
Number 5, represents an institution, often related to Incarnations.<ref name=":0">Bonus Material: Binding and Countermeasures</ref>
Death
Number 13. Covers transformation and rebirth, not necessarily literal death.<ref name=":0" />
The Devil
Number 15. The shadow self, bindings.<ref name=":0" />
Two of Wands
Choice, contemplation. On the brink of a decision.
Five of Coins
Poverty, adversity, loss. In practitioner circles, one’s ‘wealth’ is usually measured in terms of power, so a loss of powers. Might be being forsworn, might be a loss of something else that’s vital.
Ten of Swords
A loss so complete you don’t need to worry about further losses. There’s a kind of peace you have to make in the face of absolute failure.
Notable Tarot Decks
Trivia
- Tarot is pronounced with a silent second "t".
- In the real world, far from being ancient Tarot cards trace back to the renaissance and were originally just a form of common playing card.
