#good omens x tarot

[midwifeslashcobblerslashme]

I am fascinated by the depth radiating from Crowley on Golgotha, while they're witnessing humans' tragic tendency to scapegoat innocents in the hope to destroy the darkness that they project outwards. The Moon represents the unconscious currents underlying such events, moved by the energies of the cosmos on the global stage, and a call to bring the unconscious to consciousness in order to process it.

Good Omens & Visual Tarot - Part 1

I have been fiddling with a few different posts that are going to take a while longer still to complete. In the meantime I decided to do a little bit of a Good Omens Tarot visual analysis.

*Disclaimer* I am not a tarot expert, I am using visuals simply to equate these scenes to the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Most of the limited meaning and analysis have been pulled from various tarot websites.

I hope you enjoy looking through these! They are not super deep or intensive but were very fun to put together :) They are ordered first by Major Arcana, then Minor Arcana, and finally Court Cards.

THE FOOL

The Fool represents the willingness to take risks, being inexperienced, improvisation and beginners luck. Aziraphale and the 1941 magic debacle are very fitting for the fool card. He doesn't know he's just endangered Crowley in front of Hell, doesn't know about the miracle blocker, and what they are about to face. Teetering dangerously close to the edge of the cliff. Yet, they've just somehow successfully escaped the stage unscathed.

----

THE MAGICIAN

The Magician represents one's potential, and capability to harness one's potential, especially in a situation where transformation is needed. It brings to mind the change that's needed in Heaven, the work Aziraphale needs to do to fix a broken system.

----

THE EMPEROR

The Emperor sits on a throne, flanked by dual rams heads. This card represents leadership, power, authority, courage, and intelligence. The Emperor is considered to be someone who is very powerful. Crowley's powers and past angelic identity are still somewhat of a mystery to us, and we have good reason to believe he was indeed a powerful figure. Could this be foreshadowing as well?

----

THE LOVERS

While The Lovers in modern decks often has a romantic reading, traditionally this card represented a crossroads in a relationship. Choices between life paths, and commitment. Aziraphale and Crowley choosing their side at the end of season one reflects this crossroads and decision very well.

----

THE CHARIOT

The Chariot represents overcoming conflict and moving forward, but the charioteer is warned to be wary of the way ahead. Crowley rushing back to Aziraphale after the Book of Life threat is ready to move past their earlier conflict and move forward. But danger might lie ahead.

----

THE HERMIT

The Hermit represents the ability to recognize a 'teacher in a humble disguise', wisdom and enlightenment. Though it takes Aziraphale millenia, I think he eventually does recognize Crowley is a teacher or a guide in disguise for him, helping him sort through the abyss of human morality.

----

THE WHEEL OF (MIS)FORTUNE

The Wheel of Fortune card reminds us that life is ever changing and moving, we cannot stand on top of the wheel indefinitely, where we think we finally may see and understand things clearly, it will always turn. Looking at the Good Omens Wheel of Misfortune, it has interesting items like "going abroad" - a nod to season 3 possibly being set at least somewhat in New York?

----

THE TOWER

The Tower represents disaster, distress, and upheaval. There is an unforeseen catastrophe that will need to be weathered. I believe Aziraphale's emotional journey in the Job minisode exemplifies this perfectly. His realization that he has reached a turning point in his beliefs, his willingness to fall to save Jobs children and defy the Almighty... The path going forward will be difficult.

Dear Readers,

The Hermit: Isolation, loneliness, withdrawal.

Why I chose this for Crowley: In S2 when he's tells Aziraphale he lied about his path being lonely, and then subsequently being left alone in episode 6.

I also made the figure a mix between the Ark Crowley and his Bildad look, because I love the long hair and braids of Ark Crowley, but also the colours and glasses of Bildad.

The Hermit stands alone on the top of a mountain. The snow-capped range symbolizes his spiritual mastery, growth, and accomplishment. He has chosen this path of self-discovery and, as a result, has reached a heightened state of awareness.

Aziraphale's is below.

In his right hand, he holds a lantern with a six-pointed star inside; it is the Seal of Solomon, a symbol of wisdom. As The Hermit walks his path, the lamp lights his way – but it only illuminates his next few steps rather than the full journey. He must step forward to see where to go next, knowing that not everything will be revealed at once. In his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind, The Hermit holds a long staff (a sign of his power and authority), which he uses to guide and balance him.

The Lovers Card | AziCrow | Prints

[thereallovebug]

Jesus Christ Amazon, what in the name of all that is holy are you doing to the Good Omens Tarot deck?

They’ve updated the images in the product description and renamed The Lovers The Duo, featuring Aziraphale and Crowley? What in the Ever-Loving homophobic Fuck is that? Seriously? Yes, The Lovers card can also mean partnerships as well as actual lovers, but hey, we wouldn’t want anyone to think two male-presenting beings were actual LOVERS would we? Ewwwwww!

And the art is just ugly. The first product images used photos so I thought the deck would also use photos from the series. Now I’m not sure I want this. I’ve seen some beautiful privately published Major Arcana decks done by fan artists on Etsy but this is just not appealing to me at all.

Judge for yourself:

INKTOBER X Good Omens - DAY 5 - Card

Yes it's map and no cards but I made a mistake with an inktober in French 😭

So its Card if Tarot

[casimirt]

Dear Readers,

Aziraphale as The Fool tarot card, and Crowley as The Hanged Man.

The Fool: Beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, a free spirit.

I chose to make the hanged man's post a crucifix, and to go with modern Crowley so the silhouette stays similar to the original card.

On The Fool Tarot card, a young man stands on the edge of a cliff (cloud) without a care in the world, as he sets out on a new adventure. He is gazing upwards toward the sky (and the heavens) and is seemingly unaware that he is about to skip off a precipice into the unknown. The rose in his left hand represents his purity and innocence.

The Hanged Man: Wisdom, discernment, trials, sacrifice.

The Hanged Man shows a man suspended from a T-shaped cross made of living wood. He is hanging upside-down, viewing the world from a completely different perspective, and his facial expression is calm and serene, suggesting that he is in this hanging position by his own choice.
