My toxic trait is I believe that people who are into tarot divination should also learn at least some history regarding tarot as a family of card games

No, really, tarot games are genuinely a lot of fun and the fact that outside of france and strongly-french influenced regions, tarot games are pretty much unheard of makes me sad. Same goes for tarock games outside of former austria-hungary (and parts of germany) and tarocco games outside of italy.

"but playing cards don't have cups, coins, swords, and wands for their suits" yes they do!!! in italy and spanish-speaking parts of the world!!! sure they're more commonly called "clubs" when it comes to wands, but still!!!

"but what would the major arcana be there for if not divination?" they're the permanent trump suit!!! they beat non-trumps and lower trumps!!! Also!!! the fool is a trump only in the tarock branch of the family of games!!! in Tarocchi and Tarots it's its own thing!!!

"ok but what about the knight face cards?" they're there because in italy, where tarocco ("original italian tarot") cards came from, the cards feature either a horseman, or a dame!!! inclusion of both is a parity!!!

"but how do I learn to play?" the Piemontese game of Scarto is a great introductory point to tarot games. It uses a 78 card deck, so if you have a divinatory deck you may use that, or you can buy yourself a French Tarot deck (look for "jeu de tarot") or a Tarocco Piemontese deck. If you get a French Tarot deck, the suit equivalencies are hearts=cups, diamonds=coins, spades=swords, clubs=clubs/wands. The wikipedia article I've linked has the rules described well, or if you're a hands-on learner, this site lets you play the game against bots, and also has a rulebook button. Warning tho, the site uses a scan of an old tarocco piemontese deck, so it may be a bit hard to read. Once you decide you'd like something more, you can move on to French Tarot, which is the second most popular card game in france to this day. There's a great android app for this game too, and I believe it features a rules explanation too.

I finally published my Napoleonic Tarot deck and it's finally online to purchase!✨️

I first designed and drew this deck at Illustration school. I also discovered the Tarot cards' meaning in general just then. If you apply any theme to it, the Major Arcana may build a full tale about it. An eventful life such as Napoleon's can't not be quite fitting!

Hope you enjoy it!✨️

ADDENDUM: Episode 43 - The Dream Mixer

I had discovered today that the tarot "The Tower" can be called "The House of God" in French, today. Which... uh, fits very well, with the art that can be seen on these cards.

Which made me go a little bit insane about the analysis I had conducted in the liveblog of episode 43 and the meaning of this tarot.

Is there someone at Ankama who is also insane like me? Is this like, actually a real thing I noticed that someone put in deliberately, and not me going crazy?

Hello Tumblr,

J'ai créé un jeu de rôles qui se joue avec un Tarot ! Ca s'appelle Magie de Minuit et on est en plein financement en ce moment. C'est un JDR sans maître de jeu, pour raconter des histoires de sorcières et de sororité.

Si tu aimes les jeux atypiques et les belles cartes alors c'est pour toi !

til there was going to be a Hand of Glory play ?!?!??!

In 1850, Nerval composed a scenario with Auguste Maquet, entitled La Main de gloire, in which the basic plot of La Main enchantée is modified

It was sadly given a more moral happy ending {xD nooooo}

he does [REDACTED for spoilers] make a main de gloire, but resists the temptation to use it for evil, eventually throwing it on the ground and extinguishing it.

That’s hilariously awful xD

I'm sorry to the Static Man lovers. I definitely fucked it by not editing or carefully reading the propaganda I brought forth from previous rounds and now people think the propaganda is insulting the vampire Mina rather than the vampire Dracula, and multiple people have voted for her out of spite for the perceived slight. I didn't mean to make y'all look bad. Have a knight of hearts in apology: 🂼
