Tarot Introductions: Adventure time deck

Two of Coins

• Element: Earth

• Astrology Association: Capricorn

• Potential Interpretations:

For me this card is a representation of doing too many things at once. You have too many commitments to juggle. If not careful this can become overwhelming or even lead to burnout.

Upright it can mean that you need to find a way to balance all of the tasks you hold in your hands.

In reverse it might be more of a sign to take some of the things out of your hands and put them to the side for the time being.

•Art Interpretation :

In adventure time, seeing this character means you’re in for a series of short stories mashed up into one episode. You’re juggling a lot of different concepts all with one main goal…You need to sort out what’s unimportant and what is important in each story to solve an underlying theme and riddle hidden within.

I think this suits the two of pentacles as that’s what this card asks you to do. Take all of the things in front of you and weed out what matters most and focus on that.

The Minor Arcana: The Suit of Cups

The Suit of Cups in the Minor Arcana represent the element of water. Water represents emotions, intuition, psychic abilities and spiritual realms.

The three Water signs of the Zodiac are: Cancer - ♋️ - The Chariot Scorpio - ♏️ - Death Pisces - ♓️ - The Moon

Kings, Queens, Knights, Pages usually represent people.

Kings - strong stable men Queens - strong stable women Knights - young adult man Pages - youth, teenagers, children

This might give you some sort of idea about setting, mood, tone, and feel about a reading.

Ace of Cups: Upright: To me, the Ace of Cups represents new and intense feelings. It can represent new love, a new relationship, a new friendship. It can also represent a new child and pregnancy.  Reversed: The Ace of Cups reversed represents someone not reciprocating romantic feelings. It can also represent sadness and pain. Sometimes it can pop up for a woman who has had a miscarriage or still birth.

2 of Cups: Upright: The 2 of Cups to me represents a love choice, an emotional choice, or making decisions based on your emotions. It can also represent partnerships, relationships, and friendships. Usually these couplings are happy and harmonious. It can represent soul mates. It can pop up for people expecting to get engaged or married. Reversed: The 2 of Cups reversed represents break-ups, and not being compatible. It can also mean that a couple may look happy on the outside, but in private are unhappy with each other. This card also represents have no choices or very few options.

3 of Cups: Upright: Whenever I see the 3 of Cups upright it always makes me think of 3 really good friends who are happy and have a good time with each other. Nobody is the third wheel. This card has strong feminine energy, so it always makes me think of 3 women. This card is also a card that represents parties and having fun with your friends. Its about socializing and celebrating. This card can also pop up for reunions. So maybe if you have a friend you fell out of touch with, this card could represent connecting with them again. This card also stands for weddings, graduations, social events coming, and different kinds of parties. You're meant to have a good time and indulge. Reversed: When this card is reversed it sort of gives me a frenemy vibe, almost Mean Girls in a way. It's being fake. It's gossiping about others or having others gossip about you. It can mean being back stabbed by a good friend. Also this card can mean overindulging in too much. Whether it be drinks, food, etc. You're living in too much excess. It can also mean not really having many friends or having no friends.

4 of Cups: Upright: Whenever I see the 4 of Cups, I sort of always think of a Debbie Downer. Hear me out, this person seems to have all of these problems weighing down on them and you give them perfectly logical solutions and they shoot them all down and make an excuse as to why they can't do that. This card is about refusing offers, missing opportunities, and focusing too much on the negative aspects of your life. This can cause a person to become frustrated, but it's more of an illusion in their own mind because of their constant negative thinking and self-absorption. Also this card can represent day dreaming about what you want to achieve, but not really doing anything to achieve it. Reversed: The 4 of Cups reversed represents finally finding motivation to achieve your goals and ambitions. It's finally seizing opportunities and taking the advice of others to heart. It's having enthusiasm for work and friends. This could also mean that all of those missed opportunities could turn into lost opportunities and having no more chances. People sort of just "give up" on trying to help you with your problems. This depends on what the other cards are saying and what Major Arcana are present.

5 of Cups: Upright: The 5 of Cups represents loss, pain, and grief. This card seems to pop up for me in a lot of my true crime readings. It's mourning a lost loved one. It can also represent remorse or guilt. It can sometimes bring on unwelcome change. In worst case scenarios it can mean someone who focuses too much on their negative emotions and isolating themselves. To me this card also represents being alone with your grief or loss. You don't necessarily want to talk about it or share with others how you're feeling about a loss. Reversed: The 5 of Cups reversed represents moving on and letting go of your grief. Starting to recover from the pain and loss of a loved one. It can also represent being forgiven. This card will also come up if you were involved in a traumatic event and you're finally starting to heal and overcome it. You're finally able to open up about what you've been through with close friends and loved ones. It's "rejoining the world."

6 of Cups: Upright: Whenever I see the 6 of Cups in a reading I always get an overwhelming sense of childhood nostalgia, whether it is good or bad. It makes me think of people in the present who might act a certain way or do certain things because of their childhoods. It can also represent someone who is being childish or immature. I also think of this card as representing being young at heart, having a good childhood, or having a good family and support system. Reversed: When the 6 of Cups reversed it makes me think of childhood wounds that are causing bad memories. It can also represent someone being petty or immature during an argument. I also think of this card as someone growing up and maturing. Again, it depends on what the other cards around look like and which Major Arcana are present. 

7 of Cups:  Upright: The 7 of Cups to me represents wishful thinking or being too ambitious or delusional with their ambitions. Like making plans when you're in a good mood and thinking I'm going to get ready, do my hair, do my make-up, and then call my friend and go here and there, when you know the day of, you're probably going to cancel. It's putting too much on your plate and thinking you can handle it. It can also represent thinking you're entitled to certain things and having many options when really you are not. This card also represents fantasy. It kind of makes me think of the nerd fantasizing as being a football star, and in some cases he might even be ambitious enough or delusional enough to try out. This card isn't all that dreamy though, sometimes it can point to actually having a lot of options or choices. Reversed: When this card is reversed it represents a reality check. The nerd doesn't make the football team and he's sorely reminded why. When you canceled your plans on your friends, you remembered that you made those plans when you were in a good mood and feeling ambitious enough to take all that on. It represents making poor choices and needing a good dose of reality. It also can represent have no choices or limited choices.

8 of Cups: Upright: When the 8 of Cups upright shows up in a tarot reading, I always think of it as the person is abandoning something. Whether it be a situation, a person, a job, their home, their family, etc. it all depends on the intention of the read and the other cards surrounding it. This card can represent yourself walking away from something because you've reached your limit. You can only do so much and be there for someone so much before you've had enough. This card is also about learning about yourself through this experience. Perhaps you had people abandon or walk away from you which causes you to self-reflect and self-analyze. This could also mean you're looking for the truth of why something happened and looking deeper into the situation. Reversed: When the 8 of Cups reversed it makes me think of someone who is avoiding walking away from something. This could be emotions of guilt, anxiety, sadness. This could be you don't want to walk away because you're scared of what life will be like with out this thing. It's not really making any moves and just staying put despite the situation getting worse. You might find yourself complaining about the same things over and over, but not really doing anything to get yourself out of that situation.

9 of Cups: Upright: To me the 9 of Cups represents feeling fulfilled in every way. Emotionally, spiritually, in your relationships, and in your family. It is your wishes coming true, realizing your dreams and having copious amounts of positivity and cheerfulness. It's also about sharing these feelings and emotions with others. I sometimes see this card when someone is throwing parties to celebrate their achievements. The 9 of Cups also represents that it's almost the end of hard work - meaning, you've worked really hard to get to this point of achievement, and you're about to enter into a world where you can enjoy your prosperity and triumph due to all the hard work you've done. I think of it as like going to college and getting good grades and then getting hired at your dream job. Reversed: When the 9 of Cups is reversed it represents your biggest hopes and dreams being shattered. Your future plan isn't panning out. Maybe you failed out of college, maybe your dream job isn't what you thought it was going to be. Sometimes this card gives me the idea that it represents your achievements not being celebrated or reached. 

10 of Cups: Upright: When I see the 10 of Cups in a reading, I tend to think of someone who fully emotionally fulfilled. They have a great family life, a great relationship, have reached emotional maturity. This card can represent getting married and starting a family. This family will be harmonious and wonderful. It also to me represents being extremely happy and reaching all of your emotional goals. This can also show you reaching familial goals, such as starting a family. Reversed: The 10 of Cups reversed always makes me extremely sad. It makes me think of someone who doesn't have the best family life. Their family doesn't really support them. It can represent dysfunctional families as well. Emotional child abuse comes to mind sometimes. This card can also point to divorce, not getting married, not getting engaged, not having a family. This can also mean someone who doesn't have emotional maturity or is developing emotional maturity.

Page of Cups: Upright: The Page of Cups upright reminds of someone who is an empath or fledgling psychic. Someone who has strong intuitional pulls. This is also the card of being emotionally empathetic. They show ultimate compassion when listening to their friends talk about their problems. These people are often extremely sensitive and thoughtful. They have the tendency to be a little introverted. The Page is often represents someone who is still young. I think of them as child like. So this card can often represent a child who is overly sensitive or extremely dependent on their parents. This could also represent someone who is dependent naturally. Reversed: When this card is reversed it can represent child abuse, a bad childhood, a parent who was not there for you as a child. It can also sometimes represent sexual abuse or being corrupted at a young age. This card reversed also can represent someone who seems insensitive or cold emotionally, but they expect everyone else to be there for them when they are struggling. It can also point to someone who is irresponsible and focuses on the short term instead of the long term.

Knight of Cups: Upright: The Knight of Cups showing up in a reading often brings messages of love and romantic proposals. The Knights often represent a young adult, and often represent someone bringing a message. Whenever I see the Knight of Cups I wonder if the person I am reading for has a romantic interest, if this is the case,  the Knight of Cups is an excellent card to get because it often represents that person you like returns the same feelings. This card represents love, dating, relationships, romantic offers, and someone who is emotionally intelligent. Reversed: When this card is reversed it often means the person you like doesn't reciprocate those same feelings. It can also represent someone who is delusional in their beliefs about love. This can manifest as a para-social relationship with a celebrity, to having an obsessive crush on someone and thinking they like you back despite the signs that they do not return those same feelings. It's almost like you keep trying, but the keep denying you. This can also represent wishful thinking in romantic relationships. For example, if your partner is emotional abusive, you might make excuses saying that he or she is just stressed all the time and really do love me and they don't mean it. This card reversed also can show someone being to dependent on a partner that really doesn't care about them. It can also show someone who is extremely unintelligent emotionally. This can also show someone who is a door mat and let's people walk all over them because they have poor personal boundaries and are too dependent on the relationship to stand their ground. This is where the whole extremely fragile sense of identity comes from. I also feel like these people can be a little over emotional and don't know how to regulate their emotions when it comes to romantic relationships and break ups.

Queen of Cups: Upright: The Queen of Cups represents the women of the suit. This card often represents a very warm and kind mother who nurtures her children. This card is overwhelmingly motherly to me. She is a very good mother or mother-like. She might be the "mom-friend" of the group. This card can also represent you having a very loving and nurturing mother. This can also represent a mother teaching her children the way of life and responsibility, letting their children be able to accomplish everything they set out to do. She plays a significant role in your life's biggest moments. I think of this as like, she taught you how to be responsible at a young age so now you have independence and the ability to run your own household and family with harmony and happiness. This card can also represent making a choice based on sincere feelings. It can represent having healthy empathy for others and being able to be compassionate when listening to others. Reversed: When the Queen of Cups is reversed this card represents - in my best words a "narcissistic mother." Meaning, everything was always about her. It can represent a mother who was cold and more concerned with her own problems and her own issues to the point where she emotionally checked out on her children. This card can also represent vanity and fickleness. It can also represent being too dependent on other people to the point where you will do everything not to lose that person. This includes letting people walk all over you because you're a people pleaser almost to a fault. This is sacrificing yourself unnecessarily for others. This makes me think of the narcissist mother again, she may act like she sacrificed her whole life for you, but you have to remember you didn't ask to be here. This also gives me the vibe that someone might sacrifice themselves unnecessarily for someone and wanting the attention for it or the recognition and accolades and everyone is kind of looking at them like... "no one asked you to do that."

King of Cups: Upright: The King of Cups represent the men of the suit. This card represents someone, usually a male who is emotionally intelligent. They're trustworthy men who have the heart of a lion. It makes me think of a good father or a fatherly figure who you trust deeply and who you can rely on for good advice because of their lived experiences. This person also has the ability to understand why someone did something even if they don't agree with their actions. Reversed: When the King of Cups is reversed it makes me think of someone who thinks they know more than what they do. It's just bad advice. It kind of makes me think of someone who you shouldn't take seriously even though they talk a lot. This can also represent a man who is manipulative. This could be anything from being a manipulative partner to actually running a fraud or scheme to take advantage of people. This card can also represent a cowardly man. Someone who won't stand up for others or doesn't care about what decisions they make because it doesn't effect them.

Advice for beginners learning tarot round two:

🔮Work with one deck for the next month or two. If you have multiple decks, choose one. When you are a beginner, using multiple decks will confuse you. I’m super guilty of this. I already had 2 decks I was working with when I decided I wanted to do this professionally. I had to set those two decks aside for a month and learn the A E Waite to undo the confusion. The fool from one deck can be a different energy from the fool in another deck, same with the other 77 cards. If you are trying to learn multiple meanings to multiple decks at once…you are going to be so darn confused.

🔮After you have worked with your one deck for a month or two and you feel you understand each card, now you may move onto a new deck, and learn those cards.

🔮Learn the major arcana first. Learn them in sequential order.

🔮When you are learning the minor arcana, choose one suit at a time. Learn them in sequential order. Spend a week at least with each suit, feeling the separate 4 elements.

🔮 Similar to the witches grimore and book of shadows, it is helpful to have 2 workbooks for tarot. One notebook should be used for all things tarot…history, daily readings, all the bulk of your learning in one notebook. A second notebook should be used for your hard copy of notes, after your study has been honed.

Love May xoxo

Welcome to Tarot 101 with Astrid! This is part 2 of my Tarot series. If you haven’t read pt 1 you can find it here. This part continues where we left off. I’ll be explaining the advantages of reading with the Major or Minor Arcana and how to determine which is right for you.

                                   c o n t e n t s

Their Advantages

Tarot Spread Specific

Choosing for Yourself

Their Advantages

Reading Tarot is like anything else in the craft. You can customize it to fit your practice better. Although a standard Tarot deck holds 78 Cards, you can read accurately with less.

While the Major Arcana explains the big picture, the Minor Arcana explains the details.

This is why both Arcana’s are useful and this is why some readers read with all 78 cards. However, there are advantages to using just one Arcana or just one suit.

Advantage One: Easy or Detailed Answers

Let’s say you’re feeling ready for a big change in your life, you know what you want to do: change careers, move across your country, find your forever person this year, etc.

It wouldn’t be useful to do a tarot reading with the major arcana because it’ll just tell you in a really broad, vague, way what you already know you should be doing— but what you really need to know is, hOw do you get there?

This is when you separate the arcanas, and use the Minor to explain the path to take to reach your desired “big change” in detail.

What things do you need to let go off?

Pride, defensiveness or over planning— Wands.

Greed or excess materials for your big move— Pentacles.

Bitterness, pain or obsessions— Cups.

Limiting beliefs, negative thinking, fears— Swords.

What’s the next step? What to focus your mental energy on at this time? What to be on the lookout for? So many other detail oriented questions can be asked and answered easily with the Suits.

And vice versa.

Let’s say you’re feeling stuck in your everyday life. Everyday is the same and it’s not getting better. You need to change something but you’re just not sure whAt to change?

Looking at the Minor arcana is just going to give you more to worry about. It’ll be detailed, showing you everything you have to fix, let go of, attract and embrace into your life for that healthy change you’re looking for. Instead save yourself the headache of overwhelming information and read with just the 22 cards of the Major arcana.

Find a new adventure, take a leap of faith and do something you’ve always wanted to do but didn’t have the guts to?— The Fool

Create something, pour your creativity into something fun with your own hands— The Magician

Focus on the positives in everyday, keep a gratitude journal, maybe do some inner child work— The Sun

The Major arcana makes it easy to see what you should do without overwhelming you.

Advantage Two: Familiarity and Easy Learning

Similar to the above, splitting up the deck into Suits and the Major arcana can make it easier to read and understand the cards.

Instead of having to learn 78 new card meanings, you can choose to start with 22. Just read the Major. Familiarize yourself with them and their meanings. When you’re reading switch to reading just the Suits.

56 cards may seem like a lOt but once you understand the numerology of the cards 1-10 become easy all across the Suits because each number means the same thing, now you’re just reading what it means based on the element. Then it’s just the Page thru the King you have to figure out. {I’ll be sharing the numerology definitions and Page thru King meanings in another part 🩷}

Advantage Three: Learning New Interpretations

When you split the deck into smaller sections and read regularly with just that section, you’re pushed into digging deeper into what the card that fell— flew or you drew out— means.

The Empress becomes more than just a Divine Motherly Figure, she becomes sensual, fertile, drawing you in to look at what you can create with just your desires and passions.

The 8 of Cups is no longer just leaving a bad situation, it’s becoming disgusted with what once made you happy, something that once made you feel whole. it’s gaining a new perspective to find what really matters in life.

Spending more time with just one arcana and doing readings and studying the cards to pull more answers out will also help build your intuition.

What does the card really mean? What does the imagery suggest? What about the cards that came before this one in the same Suit or Arcana?

It opens you up to dive deeper and to learn more to fully connect with the deck and it’s meaning; not just for your current reading and situation but now you have that new meaning for next time.

Tarot Spread Specific

You may have seen Tarot spreads online or in books before where they call for just the Major Arcana. They call it something like Karma’s Coming Back Around or Safe Passage.

Sometimes they’ll have you shuffle the deck and then pull cards out like normal in a spread with specific answers for each placement but other times it’s that you shuffle and then look for a specific card in the deck.

For instance, with Karma’s Coming Back Around, you’d shuffle the 22 cards of the major arcana while asking what is needed to rebalance the scales and what it’ll look like when Karma/Dharma is served. Then when you feel like the 22 cards have been shuffled enough, stop, flip the cards over and look for the Justice card. The card behind the Justice is what is needed to rebalance the scales, and the card in front of Justice is what will be served.

One example would be the order: Chariot—Justice—Death. You or they may need to take responsibility for your/their actions, maybe apologize, but either way quickly make efforts to turn “the carriage” around and do better. The Karma/Dharma served will either be an ego death, or a positive change and renewal of a relationship now that fast active change has been made to do better.

This is a really good example of when it’s both easy to find a quick answer {since you’re only shuffling and looking through 22 cards for your answer} and looking deeper for the interpretation, and why it is a positive thing to split the deck up.

Choosing for Yourself

So, now you know some advantages to splitting the deck into sections, and why some Tarot Spreads make it a point to only use one Arcana for it, but how do you know when to do this? Or which Arcana to use?

Choosing how you read Tarot and how you practice divination in your craft is something inherently personal. It might not be easy to know right away which one is beneficial until after you take a guess and start practicing with it. However, here are a few tips to get you heading on that path.

Ask yourself:

Are you looking for details or a broad answer?

Broad = Major Details = Minor

Do you think you’d benefit from studying one Arcana for a few weeks worth of readings?

If yes, which Arcana do you feel less confident in? Go with that one or go with the one you feel more familiar with so you don’t get discouraged easily.

Are you overly anxious about the situation? Use the Major Arcana to keep your worries to a minimum while you do readings on and through the situation 🩷

Would you benefit from looking at archetypes or elements?

Archetypes = Major Elements = Minor

Archetypes are characters that evoke a specific feeling, idea or story that you can draw from to form an interpretation of the cards.

Elements focus on emotions ➸ cups

thoughts, ideas conflict ➸ swords

physical items/materials/wealth ➸ pentacles

passions, creativity, adventures ➸ wands

Cups - A Tarot Poem (Part 1)

A drop turns to rain to a river to take your pain.

Hidden hands hold you up,

Taking the weight of your filling cup,

Until there’s plenty to share.

Joining forces and mixing waters.

When what’s offered is no longer wanted,

And trophy’s have fallen but some still stand tall.

In the comfort of your cottage

You receive a message, a sign, an option.

Do you want it?

Chasing fake hallucinations,

Or walk away to a better way.

Where you can say,

“I am proud of who I am.

I love everything I can, and it loves me back.

Heart on my sleeve with the strength to believe,

Making dreams reality.

Feeling so deeply but won’t let it take me.”

In rough seas but standing strongly.

(By wandoffire / @theuniversessoul )

Part 3 - Wands

TAROT TIPS #1: THE BASICS ON GETTING STARTED

♡ understanding your limitations

as with any talent, reading comes more naturally to some than it does for others. you can think of reading as being similar to singing. to be a good singer, you need to practice and develop the technical skill, however, some naturally just have a better set of lungs on them. it is important to understand that reading may be harder for you than it is for others, that it may take longer to learn and there could be limits to what you can read on. vice versa, you could find that reading comes to you quite naturally.

♡ understanding your strengths and weaknesses

play to your strengths and steer clear of your weaknesses if you are newer to reading.

example: if you feel you have trouble understanding people or their motivations, find people confusing or simply don’t know many people you might not want to start with personality readings (or accept this may not be an easy type of reading for you in general).

example: do not read on an industry or career you don't know much about.

♡ know what you are really asking

for the most part, your intentions will be understood but there are some ways things may become confusing, try remembering these tips below:

1. make sure you are targeting your question to what you actually want to know.

example: don’t ask what someone thinks of someone else if you want to know is how someone feels.

2. when asking vague questions, expect answers that may not resonate immediately.

example: if you ask, “what is coming up for me?” you will get whatever answer is deemed most important, which may or may not be something within the immediate future and could even seem unrealistic for your life. rephrase the question to suit your needs, i.e. focusing on a specific area of your life or by adding a specific time frame.

example 2: instead of asking, “what are the strengths of my future spouse?”, you can try rephrasing the question to: “what are the strengths of my next future spouse?”

♡ being honest

approach with honesty, respect and objectivity to get it in return.

additionally, do not change the meaning of the cards. getting scared of the cards halfway through readings or becoming wishy-washing with the meanings of cards in general will influence your readings. you will get confusing answers if you are applying confusing definitions.

♡ adapt to the deck you are using

use your intuition to understand the different imagery on different decks since it can add nuance to their meanings.

♡ ask questions until the answer is clear

don’t be afraid of pulling clarification cards.

pull clarifications cards with questions if it feels needed (e.g instead of asking for a clarification card of someone’s strength you may want to try asking: why is this a strength or how is this strength used on a regular basis).

if the reading is creating questions for you during it, ask those questions.

check during the reading if you're on the right track until you are more confident or feel you can trust your intuition.

at the end of a reading, ask if the reading is correct.

Beyond the Guidebook: Understanding Tarot Card Symbolism and Interpretation

When reading tarot, understanding the symbolism behind cards is crucial. It not only adds depth to your readings but also helps you uncover the deeper meaning of the cards and how they relate to one another. Let's explore the significance of repeating suits, numbers, imagery, orientation patterns, and the placement of Major and Minor Arcana cards in tarot readings.

Tarot Card Suits and Their Themes

When a single suit dominates or numbers a reading, it emphasizes the theme associated with that suit: Cups: Emotions, relationships, and matters of the heart Pentacles/Coins: Material wealth, finances, and practical matters Swords: Thoughts, conflicts, and challenges related to ideas Wands/Rods: Inspiration, creativity, and actions or projects

Tarot Card Numbers and Their Significance

Repeating numbers can amplify the energy and significance of that number's symbolism.

Ace: New beginnings, opportunities, or a fresh start Two: Balance, choices, partnerships, and decisions Three: Creativity, collaboration, and growth Four: Stability, structure, and security Five: Change, challenges, and conflicts Six: Harmony, love, and healing Seven: Spirituality, introspection, and assessment Eight: Power, ambition, and movement forward Nine: Completion, fulfillment, and reflection Ten: Endings, culmination, and a sense of closure

Interpretation of Repeating Symbols in Tarot Cards

When you spot recurring symbols, patterns, or themes in multiple cards, consider the following for interpretation:

Consider the Context: Analyze the positions of the cards with repeated imagery. For example, a repeated symbol that appears in a past position could represent past experiences or influences being carried into the future.

Amplification of Themes: Repeating imagery can amplify the themes associated with that symbol. For example, if you have several cards featuring roses, it may highlight the importance of love and beauty in the situation or the need to approach it with care and affection.

Storytelling and Narrative: Repeating imagery can create a narrative within the reading. It can be seen as a sequence of events or a progression of ideas. Consider how the symbols relate to each other and how they tell a story or convey a message.

Personal Significance: Depending on the reader's intuition and the querent's personal connection to certain symbols, repeating imagery can have personal significance. It may trigger specific emotions or memories, offering a more personalized interpretation.

Card Orientation Patterns

If you choose to read reversals, the significance of card orientation in a tarot reading lies in its ability to add layers of interpretation to the cards.

Mostly upright cards: When the majority of the cards in a reading are upright, it often signifies a sense of internal clarity and ease. It suggests that the primary influences on the situation come from external sources and are generally aligned with the card meanings in their traditional sense.

Mix of upright and reversed cards: A balanced mix of both upright and reversed cards offers a holistic view of the situation. It reflects a dynamic interplay between external and internal factors. This combination highlights how external circumstances interact with your inner world and mindset.

Mostly reversed cards: When most of the cards in a reading are reversed, it typically indicates that the energy related to those cards is encountering obstacles or resistance. It can suggest that certain aspects of the situation are blocked and may require a closer look or adjustment. Reversed cards may also point to hidden facets of the situation.

Major and Minor Arcana Placements in Tarot Readings

The placement of Major and Minor Arcana cards often determines how the card's energy is expressed within the context of the reading.

The Major Arcana cards represent significant life events, archetypal energies, and deep spiritual or psychological themes. The more Major Arcana cards that appear in a reading the most of these forces are at work in the situation.

The Minor Arcana cards focus on day-to-day matters, everyday experiences, and practical aspects of life. Court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King) often represent individuals or personalities. Their placement can reveal people involved in the situation or specific characteristics or qualities they bring to it.

By understanding these aspects of tarot card interpretation, you can unlock the secrets hidden within the cards and provide more meaningful readings for yourself and others.

The Major Arcana: What It Means To Me

The Major Arcana Cards in your tarot deck are the main character cards numbered 0-21. These cards are important as they set the tone for your entire tarot reading, they even set the intent as there are spreads you can do with each of your major arcana cards if you don't have an intent already set in your mind. Think of the Major Arcana as the overall meaning of your reading and the Minor Arcana as the little details or bits of information to gain insight into what the Major Arcana are telling you.

The Major Arcana cards are important as they teach you lessons. Divination is something you are pulled to do, I don't believe in the old wives tales of a deck of tarot cards needs to be gifted to you. In my world I don't gate keep. I welcome everyone to come and read this and learn things and offer their own feedback.

Tarot cards can be used for divination purposes, but they can also give you more insight into your life and what you're going through. They are good tools to learn about what you need to work through and accomplish.

Tarot cards can also be used to gain more information or insight into situations that are plaguing you or if you're curious about a variety of subjects. For example, I like to read about true crime cases, but usually I just read for whatever pulls me.

All of these meanings below are my OWN interpretations of the cards. There are many sources online and other tarot readers who have written down meanings over the years. Please don't get lost in the sauce and think that one set of tarot interpretations are the correct ones. While yes, most of the sites and other tarot readers have come to a general consensus of what the cards mean in a nut shell, you have to learn what the cards mean to you, the reader. 

When you pick up The Fool and look at it, what do you see? How does it make you feel? What do the pictures mean? What does the meaning online or in a book mean to you?

Using your own intuition to interpret the cards is one of the hardest skills to develop while learning tarot. Don't become too focused on the keywords because then you'll end up taking the cards meanings way too literally. Instead, get the gist of what the cards mean, and then exercise your ability to feel what they mean to you and how you read them.

Keywords are fine to help you learn about the cards while you're learning tarot, but try not to get in the habit of relying on them too much. This is how every tarot reader sort of has their own style of reading. What The Fool means to me, might not be how another tarot reader thinks of it.

Some misconceptions about tarot reading are that you have to be a witch, or practice Wicca. Tarot is for everyone who wants to pick up a deck. You can practice Wicca and read tarot, but you don't have to do one to do the other. Another misconception is that tarot cards are demonic. They're little pieces of card board with pictures printed on them. Nothing about a deck of cards is demonic. You're not talking to evil spirits, you're connecting with spirit guides and Angels. Of course you can always protect yourself by praying, asking for guidance and knowledge from your spirit guides and always remember to thank them after you're done reading. Another misconception is that you have to be a psychic to read tarot. This is in untrue, however I do believe that psychics can use tarot cards as wonderful tools to help them interpret and gain insight onto what they're feeling, hearing, or seeing. I don't consider myself a psychic at all, but I do have strong intuitional pulls. I enjoy learning about astrology and have other occult interests. If you're pulled to learn tarot, I encourage you to buy a deck of cards and start practicing.

I feel like I am probably going to end up posting a chapter about my thoughts and opinions on toxic tarot Tik Tokers or youtubers, because I feel like there is a lot of unnecessary gate keeping going on with in this community.

With all of that being said for now, here are my own interpretations and my own thoughts on and feelings on what the Major Arcana Cards mean to me:

0. The Fool: Upright: I always think of this card as a naive youth, either a child or a teenager stepping foot out into the real world for the first time. No real commitments, no world experience. These "kids" as I like to call them are beginning a new journey in life. An example would be a teenager leaving home and living on their own for the first time at 18 or 19. You're about to have new experiences and experience those new things for the first time. Reversed: Whenever I see The Fool reversed it gives me the vibe that this person thinks they know more than what they actually do, but it's almost never toxic, its due to being naive in the world and having lack of experience. The card can also represent being reckless and impulsive and not really paying attention to what you're doing. It can represent being irresponsible and not really caring about it.

1. The Magician: Upright: I like to think of this card as a person who gets what they want, or they have all the tools necessary to get what they want. They're very charismatic people who light up every room they walk into. They're very well spoken. They seem to know what to do and say in every situation. They know the steps to take and the actions to take to get what they need to get done. This could also mean someone who is creatively skilled in the arts of painting, making, writing. The Magician is hands on creativity. Reversed: To me, The Magician reversed seems like a person who feels jaded. Who feels like they've worked so hard for everything but get little to nothing in return. This person is introverted, and often needs help or a little push to get things done. I also believe that The Magician reversed is a more exaggerated version of The Magician upright. This person is driven by ego, but they don't know what they're talking about. They're charismatic and outspoken, but it's often manipulative or it sounds smart, but its with little substance. 

2. The High Priestess: Upright: Whenever I see this card I always think of someone who is spiritually gifted and who vibrates on a higher level. This person can be psychic, clairvoyant, have strong intuition. These people are often pulled to read tarot cards or often pulled to study astrology and birth charts. These people have strong gut instincts that are usually right. I tend to think these people can see through a lot of "bs." They're smart and they're in touch with other realms and spirit guides. Reversed: When I see The High Priestess reversed, depending on what the other cards around it look like, I get the feeling that this person is a little dramatic with their "gut feelings," meaning everything is a sign, every little emotion is an intuitional pull or a gut feeling. I think of it as sort of like a fake psychic. It's misuse of intuition, or biased use of intuition. This card reversed also represents what you're keeping in, must come out now. Lies are being revealed, people are being exposed, etc. or psychic visions are becoming more clearer and make sense.

3. The Empress: Upright: This card always makes me think of a good mother, a good caregiver, usually someone who is female. This card represents nurturing, kindness, beauty, femininity, womanhood, girlhood, abundance. This represents nature producing fruit, woman baring children. To me this card has strong female energy, and it's pure and kind-hearted. This could also mean someone who is highly creative or skilled artistically. Reversed: Just as the upright version means a good mother, the reversed version means bad mother, mommy issues, a bad caregiver, a neglectful mother. This also makes me think of like a narcissistic mother, manipulative woman, infertility, etc. On a creative note, this could simply mean things like creative block, writer's block, felling uninspired to create. I wouldn't take The Empress reversed and run with it and call everyone woman who gets that card reversed a narcissistic, neglectful mother. Remember, you have to take in account the entire read, what your intentions are, and how you feel about it.

4. The Emperor: Upright: Just like The Empress, this card makes me think of someone who is usually a male. Where The Empress is the caregiver, The Emperor is the provider. This card makes me think of a good father, a good man, a faithful husband. Someone who rules with power, but not toxic power. Someone who is a natural born leader. People respect this person and take this person seriously. Reversed: Similarly, just the same as The Empress, The Emperor reversed can sometimes represent a bad dad, neglectful dad, or daddy issues. The Emperor reversed can also point to a person being a toxic leader, too bossy, or controlling. Someone who has little to no flexibility or doesn't easily bend to the will of others. It can also represent an explosive temper and rage.

5. The Hierophant: Upright: To me, The Hierophant represents a religious person, or a group of religious people. This card can show up representing your religious faith, or perhaps religious people around you. This card can also represent marriage, living a conventional life style, having a traditional home and life with a man and a woman. This card can represent going to church or being involved with a church or a religion. This card can also represent someone who needs to be listened to or someone's advice who needs to be taken. Reversed: When I see this card reversed it gives me the vibe that someone is LGBTQ+, non traditional, goes against the grain, rebellious, doesn't have religion, etc. The card screams, non-conformity. They think how they want to think and don't let religion or traditional values dictate how they live their life. It can also show someone who is being forced to conform to society's norms.

6. The Lovers: Upright: The Lovers card to me represents a happy and wonderful relationship. It can also represent a wonderful friendship, partnership, etc. depending on what your intent is for the reading. When I see The Lovers card, I often get the feeling of a strong connection between two people. This could also represent a decision needing to be made or two choices presenting to you or even two ways of thinking. Reversed: When The Lovers is reversed it can mean a few different things. It could mean incompatibility between two people, if this is a romantic relationship it could suggest you're not right for each other. It could represent heartbreak, cheating, stress, breaking up, incompatibility. It can also represent you not making a choice, or having no choices, and in the worst of cases it can represent someone in your life being two-faced.

7. The Chariot: Upright: To me The Chariot represents things moving at a fast pace. It represents progress being made quickly. If doing the Celtic Cross reading and this card shows up in the 4 or 6 position, whatever it is will pass or go with a quickness. This card can also show you literally moving, such as with travel or driving. Sometimes I see this card in a reading and interpret it as a hasty decision being made, almost impulsively. Reversed: The Chariot reversed means a sudden stop, or a slow progress. It's taking you a while to get over something, perhaps you're overthinking something or it's just taking you longer than  usual to figure something out. This could also be literal in the sense that your travel plans get canceled or your car breaks down. There are obstacles in your path that you need to take care of before you can move on or before your progress can continue. Whenever I see this card in a reading I always think of it as the person I'm reading for is stuck, or has a mental block or something is going on in their life that has them preoccupied.

8. Strength: Upright: Strength not only means strength, but it also means needing strength, being strong willed, being passionate and driven. This will show up in readings to tell you that you are strong and will overcome any obstacles that might get in your way. This can also represent you being strong for others or standing up for others. Depending on the Minor Arcana surrounding your strength card, it can show you being strong in situation in your life or it can show you need strength for an upcoming problem or situation you are about to face. Reversed: When I see Strength reversed in a reading I tend to think that this person is in desperate need of strength. I tend think of self-sabotage, or feeling vulnerable. Shaky knees, anxiety, being scared of not being accepted or welcomed. Not having confidence in yourself. In worst case scenarios, depending on the context of the read, it reminds me of someone being a coward or not wanting to stand up for others.

9. The Hermit: Upright: To me, The Hermit represents someone who is an introvert, who is quiet and in their shell. They have a lot of thoughts and opinions but they tend to keep them to themselves. I also believe that The Hermit is underrated, because when push comes to shove, I believe he shows others the way even though it's dark and dimly lit. On The Hermit card an old man in robes is pictured, carrying a lit lantern in front of him as if he's lighting up a dark path. I take this as showing others the way even though it's difficult and hard to see. The Hermit can sometimes mean a reality check is in store, or that the truth might be harsh, but it needs to be said. The Hermit can also represent self-reflection, searching your subconscious and becoming self-aware. You might have to admit to yourself harsh truths about your life and yourself. Reversed: When reversed, The Hermit becomes more withdrawn and collapses into their shell. This is ultimate reservedness. This is becoming such a recluse that it's a problem in your personal life. You are ruled by paranoia and fear. Your thoughts are too much. It makes me think of an extremely shy person, or an extremely soft spoken person. Sort of afraid to come out into your own light. This could also represent not wanting to talk about past traumas because you don't want to re-open the wounds or deal with the wounds in the first place. 

10. The Wheel of Fortune:  Upright: This card to me represents fate, luck, and karma. I think of The Wheel as what goes up, must come down or what comes around goes around. I think seeing The Wheel of Fortune in a reading might suggest karma is coming your way - good or bad. I also think this card represents fate, good luck, and bad luck. Sometimes when doing true crime reads, I get the Wheel and it always feels like to me that this wasn't karma related, this was fate. This was just the card that The Universe drew for this person. There's no real reason as to why this happened or what caused it. It was truly a random act of violence. This card will also show up in my experience with a lot of celebrity readings. Fame, fortune, riches - all the good luck parts of The Wheel. Just remember to put good out into The Universe so that it comes back to you. Reversed: When The Wheel is reversed it means bad karma, a bad card drawn by The Universe. Whenever I see The Wheel reversed I always think someone has what they got coming. It is bad luck, upheaval, bad karma, chaos, unwelcome change.

11. Justice:  Upright: The Justice card can represent someone who is a lawyer, involved in the law, police, a judge, having legal issues, having to go to court, and it can also represent karmic justice. Every time I see this card, I always get the feeling its about law and order in the spiritual sense. You're reading for your ex and he cheated on you? You ended up with The Wheel of Fortune reversed and Justice next to each other? That's what I'm talking about, his bad karma is going to catch up with him, and then there is Justice to confirm it for you. That's what I always feel when I see this card, now, that also depends on what Minor Arcana cards are around and it depends on the intent of your reading. I've gotten the Justice card for a lot of true crime readings I've done. Justice can be literal in the sense of jail, court, lawyers, being sued, but I also believe fully that it means Justice in the spiritual sense too. Reversed: Whenever I see the Justice card reversed in a tarot reading, I always tend to think its injustice. Someone got away with something, or Justice is coming for them slowly, perhaps building up momentum before it hits them. This card can also represent being lied to or someone getting away with lying. On the flipside, this card can also mean vindication. Someone who was falsely accused and is being vindicated. I've also gotten the vibe that Justice reversed can mean corruption with in law and order, judges, and police.

12. The Hanged Man: Upright: Whenever I see The Hanged Man, I almost always get the feeling that it represents self-sabotage in a way. It's meaning is having difficulty letting go, which could be your feelings about certain things, how you acted in a situation, grief, a bad relationship, etc. This card is also about feeling trapped. So you might want to speak up on your behalf or you might want to leave a certain situation, but you're trapped in your own mind and making excuses for yourself. These situations can often be lessons we need to learn. I always think that The Hermit and The Hanged Man go hand in hand, but that's just my opinion and how I interpret the cards for myself. Reversed: When The Hanged Man is reversed, I sometimes think of it as someone finally being able to let go, but they become numb and detached. It's like going though a break up and living life on auto-pilot with out really dealing with your emotions around it. It's apathy and not really caring anymore. Losing interest in the things you used to love and losing interest in familial relationships and romantic relationships.

13. Death: Upright: Death very rarely means actual or literal death. Death represents the shedding of something old. This card represents finally letting go. Now I usually get Death in a literal sense when reading for true crime, but Death almost never represents that in day to day reads. To me Death represents a situation that I shouldn't revisit, be it a friendship, a relationship, a situation, an old job, etc. Death can also mean the end of a tarot reading where no other information can be obtained. Death also represents rebirth. The old you had to die so the new you could flourish. It can be sudden change in beliefs when represented with new information as well. Your old beliefs die so your new beliefs can flourish and blossom. Reversed: When Death shows up reversed it often shows your inability to move on or let something go. This is showing that you're resisting the change, you don't want it to happen, but you have to. This card gives me the vibe of knowing you have to do something to create change in your life, but you keep just putting it off or you're not really thinking about it deeply. This is also the card of not learning from your past and you keep repeating your mistakes over and over again. 

14. Temperance: Upright: Temperance is a hard one for me to get a good grasp on. The card itself represents an Angel. I guess in some sense it makes me think of God and Heaven. It makes me think of tolerance and grace. Forgiveness. The meaning online suggests it means patience, love, serenity, compromise. It's peace and tranquility. This card also represents the meaning of "time heals all wounds." Reversed: When Temperance shows up reversed it can often mean intolerance, the lack of the ability to gain perspective and being impatient with others. It's being rigid and stuck in your ways, or stubborn. 

15. The Devil: Upright: To me The Devil represents numerous things. It could be as innocent as representing someone who is of the zodiac sign Capricorn, or it can be as nefarious as suggesting someone or yourself is a toxic, manipulative person. The Devil can also represent addiction to drugs, mental health problems, feeling chained or trapped to a toxic person. This card can also represent feeling hopeless or powerless in your addiction or mental health issues. It can represent feeling hopeless or powerless against The Devil - or the person who has you shackled figuratively. This card makes me think of toxic power dynamics. One partner is more dominant and controlling than the other, and the submissive partner feels as if they can't speak up or can't escape because they feel the weight of the ball of chain on their ankle. This could be as simple as being at a job that makes you feel like speaking up for yourself is a bad thing or it could be as bad as a domestic violence situation in a relationship. Again, it depends on what your intent for the reading is, what the minor arcana cards are suggesting, and how you feel in your intuition. I feel like people get The Devil card and run with it and start suggesting things about others and accusing them of being narcissists or abusive. So please pay attention to what you feel and what you see in your entire spread before becoming overly concerned. Reversed: Whenever I see The Devil reversed in a reading I often think of someone breaking through the chains. Finding themselves, no longer letting people control them, finally standing up for themselves. I think of sobriety, I think of getting help for mental health issues. The Devil reversed is such a good card to get if you've been seriously struggling. I think of people getting out of abusive relationships. The main meaning of this card is breaking the chains, and that's exactly the best way I can describe it. It the means to an end of suffering.

16. The Tower: Upright: Nobody wants The Tower in their readings. Nobody. Unfortunately, The Tower is something we all must experience at least once in our lives. To me The Tower represents complete destruction. Whether its good or bad is also dependent on what's going on in your life. The Tower can represent anything from the destruction of your old way of life or thinking to something as bad as the destruction of everything and everyone around you. You can't fight this change. This change is coming whether you like it or not. I always think of The Tower in one of two ways: Either its a destruction of an old way of life or old thoughts or beliefs, meaning you thought one way for a very long time about something incredibly important in your life, but once presented with new facts or learning about something else, it completely shifts your point of view, or it's complete chaotic and upheaval of your entire life. A break up, a house fire, a car accident, tragedies, loss, pain. This is when The Tower is bad, because it's going to break you completely. The Tower shows up a lot in my true crime readings both for the victim and shockingly for the criminal as well. It makes sense when you think that what the criminal did to the victim broke the family and what the criminal did to themselves destroyed their life. The Tower represents deep emotional pain and grief. As I said before it will break us, but Towers get rebuilt. The Universe wouldn't break you and not put you back up. The pain and grief we experience with The Tower is meant as a lesson that we are supposed to learn from. This is about pain and being broken, but fixing what is broken and learning from it. Reversed: When I see The Tower reversed I think of people who are doing whatever they can to avoid The Tower collapsing. It's stubbornly holding onto a set of beliefs because you're scared to find out the truth about things, it's doing everything to avoid a break up that needs to happen. It's lying to yourself and making up excuses as to why can't leave certain situations. It's desperate, anxious, fear of losing your old sense of reality or life. You have to remember though, you are delaying the inevitable. This is set in The Stars and this will happen whether you like it or not. On the flipside, The Tower reversed can also show you averting disaster or tragedy, but I think of this more in the physical sense of taking a different road while you're driving and then learning there was a major accident on the road you would have taken, or you don't board the plane that crashed, especially if The Wheel of Fortune upright is there.

17. The Star: Upright: To me The Star kind of represents someone with a big ego, or someone with a big head. They crave attention and recognition for their accomplishments. This card makes me think of the popular kids in school. They're nice and outgoing, but they're always trying to keep up with their image. With that being said, this card is generally a really positive one. I think it represents showing drive and ambition for completing your projects and wanting the recognition for your hard work, which is well deserved. This card can also represent in healing, hope, and happiness. Reversed: When The Star is reversed I often think of someone who is bored or ambitionless. They have little to no hope their life is going to get better. They want to be extroverted and outspoken and be able to accomplish their goals, but they have lack of faith in themselves and self-sabotage themselves and tell themselves they can't do that or accomplish that. 

18. The Moon: Upright: To me, sometimes The Moon gives me the vibe that this person could be a fledgling psychic. Someone who is just getting started with tarot or astrology. Their intuition or psychic abilities are a little fuzzy, but they're there. They may not have confidence yet in their abilities. This card can also represent having anxiety or being worried about something coming out. This could be lies you've been telling, lies someone has been telling to you, or not wanting to deal with the problems in your life that bug your subconscious. You know they're there, but you are lying to yourself and pretending its not as bad as what it seems. Whenever I see The Moon in a reading, depending on what the other cards are saying, I always think to myself, "what are you hiding from people?" In a situational spread, it might mean things look one way, but it's not what it seems. Your friend might seem or look shady, but that's not what is actually happening. This card also can sometimes represent PTSD, or past conditioning being responsible for how you handle situations or how you react emotionally.  Reversed: When The Moon is reversed I always think of information coming out or lies being exposed. What was in the dark will now come to light. It's also releasing your anxiety and healing. The Moon reversed also makes me think of the fledgling psychic finally seeing their visions in full view, or finally understanding what these random signs or little intuitional pulls are about and what they're for. 

19. The Sun:  Upright: My interpretation of The Sun is pure, warm joy. It's feeling true happiness, its being successful, but usually in my reads, The Sun always shows up for me representing children. The pure joy and innocence that children have. The Sun could also be an indicator that someone is expecting a child or just had a new baby. It represents to me the pure emotions that little children have. That's the only way I can describe it. Whenever I get this card, it just overwhelmingly feels childlike to me. Reversed: To me when I get The Sun reversed its usually in a reading that involves a child who had a sad childhood or a bad childhood. Sometimes it will pop up for a woman who has had a miscarriage or a stillbirth. I know in some true crime readings I have done, it specifically points to the child who was a victim of the crime. I've always interpreted it as a loss of childhood or maybe someone who had to grow up too fast, or maybe someone who had their childhood stolen from them forcefully. It can also represent someone who has lost a child from natural causes or a crime.

20. Judgement: Upright: Judgement to me has always felt as a finality. You had a situation, you figure out what caused the situation, and then you get the Judgement card meaning, that situation is done. Judgement can also represent things like being judged, judging others, court, law, police, a decision you need to make. Sometimes this card asks you to take a step back, look at the whole situation for what it is, and make a call. This could also represent something being your last chance to make a decision on, so you better get on it. Reversed: When I see the Judgement card reversed, I almost always get the feeling that this person is way too judgmental. They're making snap judgments on people based on very small bits of information. They could be leaning into a prejudice or a bias about someone. They could be impulsive with their decision making. Judgment reversed can also represent malicious gossip, defamation of character, or being too harsh on someone.

21. The World: Upright: This card to me has always felt so warm and welcoming. It is the success and accomplishment of your goals. It can represent starting a family, it could represent how you feel about your family. It's a sense of belonging, "having a place in the world." It's good physical and mental health. This card also means the end and healing.  Reversed: When The World is reversed it could mean not meeting your goals, it can represent a bad home life, a neglectful family. It can be feeling left out or not welcome. When I see The World upside down in a reading, I get overwhelming sense of sadness or animosity. It feels like the person is jaded, or upset or resents someone. It could also mean the loss of everything, or extreme grief. Below I included a little bit of astrology for you because I feel as if it's important to helping interpret what your Major Arcana cards might be telling you. I've noticed for myself that when a reading is trying to help me pick up on specific person it will drop me hints such as their astrological sign or their astrological sign's element.

Elements can also help you get a feel or a mood about a reading:

Element of Fire: Suit of Wands - lots of action and doing things, taking initiative Element of Earth: Suit of Pentacles - wealth, stability, the physical world and material world, based in reality Element of Air: Suit of Swords - mentality, intellect, communication, making decisions Element of Water: Suit of Cups - emotions, psychic realms, divination, the spiritual world

The Emperor: Aries - Fire The Hierophant: Taurus - Earth The Lovers: Gemini - Air  The Chariot: Cancer - Water Strength: Leo - Fire  The Hermit: Virgo - Earth  Justice: Libra - Air  Death: Scorpio - Water  Temperance: Sagittarius - Fire The Devil: Capricorn - Earth The Star: Aquarius - Air The Moon: Pisces - Water

learning the language of our tarot, connecting to their soul, and nourishing our bond

pictures from pinterest → one, two, three

Sometimes our feelings are too overwhelming, our thoughts too loud to let us focus or connect enough. Sometimes we feel like we don't know enough and feel too lost in all the information and details about how divination works. Sometimes we are just wondering about how others might interpret the answers that we found. We might be curious, confused, experienced or new to this. We might need some little help or feel the desire to share… Whoever you are, whatever you feel or need, through this section and option of my blog you can find exactly what you seek. And I will do my best to help you out, sharing what I've learned so far and discovering together new things about this world and the secrets it hides.♡

| How it works |

– What you can ask about?

- Your readings and my opinion regarding the interpretation of the cards that came out in your personal readings, but that you feel a little too confused or doubtful about. We can talk about the meaning of these cards and how they can be interpreted in relation to your situation or questions that you’ve asked. Or we can simply check if your intuition about their message was right and fair, instead of being too emotional or logical because of what you would like to hear right now.

- Cards and their general and natural meaning. How a certain card can be interpreted in relation to different topics and situations. Or the message that might be hiding in a combination of the cards, when their meanings are fused together.

- My practice and ways of nourishing my bond with my own cards. How I learn from them, how I spend time and take care of them.

- Wonders and curiosities about our world, that we will discover through the answers of my cards and the knowledge that they will share with us, helping us grow.

– Where can you send me your questions?

Through the “What’s on your mind..?” option on my blog. It is enough for me that you mention that your question/ message is related to our Divinatory Club, with the details that you feel comfortable to mention or share about your readings, cards, opinions, and your own practice and experience.

– How your question will be replied to?

I will answer directly through your ask, so no matter if you sent it anonymously or not, you should be notified once I will post my reply.

– How long will it take me to answer your question?

Like for the Divinatory Jukebox, in this case too, I’ll allow myself to reply with my own pace. As this is something that I do because I simply like it, and I don’t want to put any pressure or limitation to my work on this blog.

This is just a simple and fun way for us to connect, share our experiences and receive guidance and help. So please be respectful and patient towards me, yourself and others. Our personal rhythms, ways or opinions. I want this to be a safe space, and I will do everything I need to protect it and allow it to remain this way. So if anyone, through asks or replays, will show any behaviour that is the opposite of a peaceful and open mind - I won't engage and will directly block them. So please be mindful of your intentions and the way you interact.
