Description

When the Five of Wands pops up, you can expect little to go right for you. I often find myself describing a pain-in-the-ass morning of missing my bus, stubbing my toe, and being harassed by strangers as a ‘Five-of-Wands kind of day.’ This card can also suggest that certain groups of people don’t work well together, or aren’t working well together right now. A man labors over the creation of eight coins. The task takes up all of his attention, and he is absorbed in his work. I call the Eight of Pentacles the ‘apprentice card’ because an apprentice, whether actual or metaphorical, is learning skills with diligent determination to become a master of his craft. A detailed tarot guidebook containing card descriptions, tarot spreads and an explanation of how to read tarot by Isabella Rotman, including a special forward from the author, tarot reader and witch, Melissa Cynova! Numbered cards are cards one through ten in the four suits of the Minor Arcana. Each number has a numerological meaning. So, the meaning of the card as a whole results from the intersection of the suit’s themes and the numerological significance of the individual card.

I drew the King of Cups as my grandfather, in a dinghy where we made many happy memories together. My grandfather has Alzheimers. His short-term memory leaves him; he understands this situation, but does not fight it. He is aging with a grace and cheerfulness that I can only imagine. He knows he is loved, and he is happy. The King of Cups shows true emotional strength in the face of difficulty. In this way, he supports the people around him. A woman is blindfolded and bound, caged by eight swords. She appears completely trapped by her restraints, but upon closer inspection we see that this metaphorical trap is not inescapable. There is so much she could still do, even with limited sight and movement. I actually based the ropes and the way they are tied on shibari rope bondage, the modern ethical practice of which always leaves the person who is being tied in control. You think you are out of options, but you aren’t. Make Space: Take a moment to breathe and relax. If you are doing a reading for yourself, reflect on your motives. If you are doing a reading for someone else, use this time to connect to that person. Some people have rituals that go along with this, such as lighting a candle or laying down a tarot cloth.

If the King of Swords stands for a person in your life, they are likely a fair and just leader. This King might be emotionally detached at times, but all his choices are guided by a desire to make things better for the community at large. I see this archetype a lot in fiction. He is the tough-but-fair police chief; the emotionally distant, strong father figure; or the teacher who is a pain in your ass in a way that forces you to grow. In real life, I rarely see this combination of leadership, stern fairness, and good intentions. The Two of Swords is a crossroads. The woman on the card holds two knives crossed in front of her. The tide comes in. She is very still. She wears a blindfold that she could easily cut off. She is frozen by indecision, unable to see a way forward or choose a path.

Can women have it all?” To this infuriating question, the Queen of Pentacles answers a resounding “YES”. This Queen is one capable bitch. She earns a decent income, keeps a beautiful home, and takes loving care of her family. She enjoys the material spoils of her labor and uses them to enrich her own life as well as the lives of her loved ones. If you are the King of Pentacles, it is time to use what you have to help others. Consider giving some of your wealth to a charitable cause or using it to build something that will do good in the world. What you give or build depends on your interests, position, and skills. It could be money, material goods, expertise, or your time. The King of Pentacles says: if you have it, give it. An elder looks upon his home from a position of pride and comfort. He is surrounded by his multi-generational family. He is financially capable of sharing with his family and ensuring they will be supported in the future, which leaves him feeling happy and content. My goal at the beginning of my career was to make a living making art that I’m proud of (…) I’m incredibly grateful to say I’ve made it there!” If the Queen of Cups is someone in your life, you will get a psychic vibe from them instantly. I drew the Queen of Cups as my mom, because she is the kind of person who intuits things about you that you haven’t even figured out about yourself. She is rich in love, smarts, and creativity, and she has probably already figured out how you are feeling about any given thing.

The person in the card has left their cups, and therefore their emotional entanglements, to pursue an adventure of unknown outcome. Some of these cups are shattered, while some are still whole. What they’re leaving behind is not entirely broken, but this person has determined that moving on is better than trying to salvage the situation. Because this is the suit of Cups, it’s likely a relationship that you need to leave behind. This is absolutely no fun, but ultimately it’s the right decision. My favorite way to read three cards is to pull the cards with no associated meaning for the card positions, then link them together intuitively to form a free-form story. You may be surprised how easily cards come together to speak to you when they are not placed into specific roles. Reversed Card Meanings If you have recently achieved something, the Four of Wands urges you to celebrate. Graduating? Finishing a big project? Falling in love? Revel in your accomplishment and enjoy the moment. For that is a downside to the Four of Wands: this card does not depict a permanent state. When it comes to art, there is a certain feeling I want to get. It has to do with the worthwhile gorgeous terrible slog of being alive. It’s impossible to describe it except to make art about it, and this is the art I like. Some of my favourite art that succeeds at giving me this feeling are the comics of Eleanor Davis, the comics of Sophia Foster Domino, and The Distance of The Moon by Italo Calvino.
