Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoSince I started the tarot tumblr, I decided to actively wok on doing daily draws. I’ve managed to pull at least one card a day for nearly a week (impressive by my standards! lol). I did have a giggle/really? moment today when I pulled The Fool for the second time in a week. A good reminder about the start of a journey?
Anyway, how you all go…[Read more]

Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoHey everyone, hope you all still remember our weekly tarot analysis! Last weekend’s card was the Four of Swords – Rest and repose, aka what I was doing last weekend when I should’ve been posting this!

-
From L to R: Rider Waite Smith; Wildwood; Herbal and last Hanson-Roberts.
-
The image from the Wildwood tarot is really interesting to me — the other figures from other decks seem relatively peaceful and serene, but the placement of the arrows in Wildwood makes me think that the figure is in some danger. I’m also not sure what to make of the butterfly that takes up so much of the foreground; it makes me think of M…[Read more]
-
I agree, the Wildwood card offers a very different take. I get the sense that the guy here has ‘earned’ his rest – he’s had a tough time and has simply collapsed (and the butterfly could then represent rejuvenation?) Whereas I normally think of this card as resting up *before* a battle or a big event – self-exile, getting out of the day-to-day to…[Read more]
-
The Wildwood image always make me think of somebody who has just barely survived a battle – all those arrows almost hit home, but none touched skin. The figure is still lying there on the battlefield, or where he was ambushed. But all is quiet for now, because that butterfly has settled on the branch above.
I think the butterfly definitely could…[Read more]

Some thoughts/ideas: Swords are the suit of thought and the mind, and fours are a number of stability and calm, so from this we get the basic theme of mental rest. It’s interesting that death is a common image in this card. We see the knight in his sarcophagus . Three swords hang over him, but what I presume is his own lies flat beneath him. This…[Read more]

The Anna K tarot aligns pretty well with the tradition RWS image, though there are a few differences.
The booklet describes the rest here as the “numbed, exhausted, almost senseless state during or after a very high fever” or a kind of hibernation. I feel like that really goes along with what you said, Hazel Blue. It’s like a convalescence…[Read more]

Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoHi all! I have been pretty busy lately so haven’t been here that much.
I wanted to post a reading I did today. As usual, any insights appreciated.1. ‘The Situation/Issue’: Queen of Swords
I think this represents me, especially when you look at the other cards in the reading.2. ‘Do’ – Four of Pentacles – Reversed
I get this card a lot in…[Read more]-
Hey Elisabeth,
What deck are you using?
I think the spread is encouraging you not to make a big deal out of opening your heart. The Queen of Swords has been through so much, but instead of making her hide from love, she is strengthened by her experiences. She’s cynical to a degree…but there’s also a real ‘bring it on’ attitude which I love. The…[Read more]-
Beth,
Thanks for your input! I didn’t have time to upload picks but it’s the Dreaming Way tarot.
The Queen is seated in the opposite direction as usual, so that she is facing the left side of the card (which to me means the past). This reading took on definite meaning yesterday. What you wrote is very apropos.
Many thanks!

I don’t do it religiously like many readers do – my daily draw habits tend to wax and wane. Right now, since I’m changing my business and gearing up for a change in lifestyle, I’m drawing a card every morning for a little inspiration – one thing I can do or learn today to move things forward, doesn’t have to be big.
A few weeks ago on holiday, Em…[Read more]
That’s pretty fantastic, lol.
And so far I’m enjoying it, if just for the opportunity i’m taking to look at the cards I pull a little more in depth (I talked about The Moon a lot today thanks to the daily draw!).
…the best being the Five of Swords, which I took to mean ‘choose your battles’. Em and I playfight a LOT, always trying to be the one who’s right, but on that day I gave in to her on every point. It drove her nuts :)
