Tarot Concept: Ace of Pentacles
The illustration is ‘the Right-hand Path’ in esoteric realms, as the Moon is ‘the Left-Hand Path.’ Here we have ‘the way,’ the straight and narrow (Christianity), the Middle Way (Buddhism), and some others I’m surely not informed of. The hand with the gold suggests...
Tarot Concept: Nine of Pentacles
Nine of Pentacles as 'enough.' Here we have the woman craving the life of self-sufficiency who is content with what she has and content to be where she is … so content with it that she is staying there in a nice routine boring existence that suits her just fine. And...
Tarot Concept: Hanged Man
'To realize' is the most frequent word Hanged Man calls for, along with 'see', relate to, intuitively, feels or senses, and imagination. The illustration depicts how you feel when you experience eureka, when you realize what you already know but never quite fully...
Tarot Concept: The Hierophant
Hierophant means approval or approved, and 'passing' as in a passing grade or being accepted in a social circle. Hierophant is your natural assumptions, the way it's done and the way things are. You know how people say "Is the pope Catholic?" Well, that 'Of course'...

The EMPRESS
EMPRESS, Rider Waite. By her side is a shield-shaped like a valentine, which is what most people would apply it as, but it's actually ancient Celtic porn graffiti of the back end of a female human bending over. On the shield is the symbol for female. The woman lies on...
Mission Creep!
If you have been doing Tarot for a few years, you have discarded some meanings you used to use and adopted some new ones. More than you think, probably. Maybe a review is in order? Maybe you can improve your game by re-adopting some interpretations you left behind and...
INTERVIEWING THE DECK, FINE TUNING YOUR TAROT
ME: “Tarot, TALK to me!” What can I do to have a clear message every time I ask you something? Tarot: Fine tune your Tarot. That’s not for every casual reader. ME: What’s the best way to fine tune? Tarot: The question is King. Ninety percent of a clear accurate answer...
So do you have any tips for us in your idea of the cards?
Your subconscious relates to images and the tone or mood of them. Immerse yourself into each character in each tarot card, AND into the card itself (the process, the whole story in the card). For example, in Five of Swords, a bully intimidates his friends and steals...
