GUIDANCE Uh-oh. Today we have on our hands (and in our face) a mad man or madman. An edgy guy who takes issue or takes offense, a jealous husband or jealous fellow who’s got to be a husband, or just a man who’s so rude and blunt he scares people when he gets worked up. Whatever it is, you’ve got a grip on a tense situation and can defend your position just fine.
Could This Be YOU?
Picture this: You look at the cards in your spread

Ace of Wands – A right hand holds a (sprouting) club above the landscape. There are no other elements, no details, in the picture. The club is obviously phallic, and Ace of Wands is all about dominance, male dominance, male sexuality, force, assertion, aggression, winning or victory, and having to do something or not do it. That last item perchance is less obvious than the others.
.
Here are today’s phrases for that theme: he’s got to be, you have to, orders; he wins, excelling in one thing; to be assertive, hits.
.
Being Number One, and being the main, or being the one and only: The illustration brings these, and also brings these: the most, the most ever, one main thing, excelling in one thing.
.
The flip side of winning and dominance is another party’s losing and being threatened or dominated, and of course Ace of Wands means those too. ‘The action goes both ways in Tarot stories.’ (Today’s spread has another card about feeling threatened.) Gentle reminder: Always phrase your question from some specific perspective or point of view, to avoid wondering who won and who lost. Ace of Wands can be a threat; can be to threaten; can be to be threatened. Ace of Wands can be the aggressor or can be the defender.
.
Ace of Wands ‘male’ and ‘sex’ words today are: that sexy; sexual, sexually, sex.
.
Other meanings today of Ace of Wands are: blunt; for sure; gets punished; with a weapon; defends her against; feel threatened by.
Page of Swords – Here’s the adrenaline. He feels threatened and nothing’s there for miles around, so Page of Swords is your lead card for paranoia … and jealousy. Page of Swords is getting worked up about anything … being annoyed, irritated, jumpy, nervous, scared, defiant, taking issue or offense, mad or mad at the world. The jitters (sugar, coffee, or a malformed outlook on life). Page of Swords is being threatened or feeling threatened, which includes harassment and being thin-skinned or (congenitally?) defensive.
.
Yes, defense. This is the card for defending. Taking offense and defending a reputation (yours or another’s). Defending the home. Even defending beliefs or country.
.
Page of Swords is also annoying, so you may have to check to see whether the story is about being annoyed or being annoying – a common consideration in reading Tarot. Page of Swords is a jerk, a pest, a troll, a touchy person, acting out, high-pressure sales tactics, stupid phone calls … all of that.
And you usually think of these ‘bad things’ first regarding our Page of Swords overheated fellow. But adrenaline occurs when you are thrilled or excited. Adrenaline when you are motivated. Adrenaline when you are alert. Adrenaline when you are excited or turned on, including being turned on by sexual attraction.
King of Wands – Well, speaking of adrenaline, here’s that angry, irritated, frustrated, edgy and excitable uncultivated common man, the impulsive hothead, the uninhibited good ole boy. The grump, the curmudgeon. The man with the temper, or even the anger problem. But there’s quite a spectrum to our Archie Bunker card.
.
The other main person King of Wands represents is the husband and father who’s the workingman, the average man, the ordinary bloke. The married man. (Watch for that in romance readings.) He’s the husband of the deck because his wife, Queen of Wands, is the wife of the deck. (He did not volunteer for that duty, I think.)
.
The other side to King of Wands’ personality is: He is the passionate man, the red-blooded man (loyal to whatever his culture calls for), the man who is unpretentious and sure of who he is … and knows who he is.

Ace of Wands and Ace of Swords have a lot in common, a lot of overlap. They are both dominance, force, assertion and aggression – herd bull stuff, pecking order stuff. One is a hand with a knife, the other a hand with a club, both held aloft over the landscape. See each in a separate sentence in your Celtic Cross layout, and you’re likely looking at a theme. The themes you find this way would most likely be one of these: (1) the most, one main thing, premiere, most important; (2) must, got to or have to, orders; (3) assertive, aggressive, hit; (4) weapon (often a knife or gun for Ace of Swords, often a blunt instrument for Ace of Wands); (5) threat or feeling threatened; (6) win, excel, achieve; (6) dominance.
.
Page of Swords is brandishing a sword. Ace of Wands brandishes a club. Both have a theme of threat. Page of Swords feels threatened; Ace of Wands is the aggressor most of the time, but it can be defending too; it depends on the story.
.
King of Wands is an assertive, edgy, irritable fellow and the head of the family. These three cards can be about the homeowner defending his family, or can be about the uninhibited impulsive fellow displaying an assertive temper. Sometimes King of Wands is the guy who is under the influence of a few too many drinks at the party … the fellow with the lamp shade on his head.
.
Page of Swords and King of Wands are both edgy irritable types. Both tend to act out. King of Wands is more likely to be assertive, and Page of Swords is more likely to be defensive … when he isn’t being jealous or merely annoying. Page of Swords fits the stereotype of the teenager. So Page of Swords and King of Wands describe a father and his defiant son.
.
“It ain’t easy being me,” says King of Wands. This Tarot card has a case of multiple personality syndrome. It originates partly because of the red-head concept: King of Wands is a red-head, factually and conceptually speaking. This is evidenced by the salamanders you see all over his picture (the live one and the design on his tapestry). Middle Ages people believed salamanders were fire-breathing dragons, and that people with red hair had a ‘fiery’ nature – that they were uncontrolled, had a temper, etc. Google ‘King of Wands Tarot Verbatim,’ and read all about it—there’s no need to regurgitate it all right here. So King of Wands has this reputation.
.
On the other hand, King of Wands is the hardworking husband and father, the married man, the family man. He is also passionate and down-to-earth.
.
The other two cards in this spread bring out King of Wands’ stereotype, because each of them is in fighting mode. Of course, all three of our Tarot cards here are male. They are most likely to appear together when guys clash about something.
.
Actually, this spread describes a rude-and-crude sexually excited dude hitting on someone who is annoyed, is taking offense. It even describes defending yourself against physical sexual aggression.

Tarot Verbatim
Guidance We share a concept of what is normal, acceptable, average and well-behaved. It’s labeled ‘the right thing’ in the back of our minds. Although officially unofficial, this standard is enforced with various consequences that we agree to pay when we violate the standard, and we enforce that standard when other people cross its line. The standard is modified by both culture and situation just as some laws are enforced more than others. Being appreciated and even rewarded for achievements is part of the rule. We conform to its strictures so as not to upset other people. They punish us with indignation or they make a fuss. Some people are hellbent on violating the treaty, and others act more as its enforcers, the behavior police. The code shifts as one generation succeeds another.

Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,

It explains how these three cards get together in your mind to make the messages. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONS is a stream-of-consciousness bridge to your subconscious if you use it regularly – people report.
*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures. It is what each of the three cards, by itself, has to say. It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in today’s Spread. All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim™.
You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim™ works.
This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there’s more variety – even contradictions – and also the pronouns are more flexible. If it feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ and you’re a ‘she,’ feel free to adopt it anyway.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
……….………… We have orders, Ace of Wands; resentment or indignation, Page of Swords; and conforming or behaving, Hierophant. Now, that’s some stories.
………………………….. Ace of Wands is a hand with a club in it, which suggests punishment, aggression or assertion, things sexual (since it looks like a penis). Ace of Wands is also primacy, being number one, and therefore the most important. It’s ‘orders,’ too, or ‘have to’ or force, forced to … make me or make someone (whatever). It is also hitting, being hit, or even brutality.
………………………….. Page of Swords is adrenalin. It represents a hyper state – whether the state is justified or not (There is nothing around Page of Swords to make him so jumpy, in the illustration.) and it represents any such state.
*Page of Swords can be thrilled and excited in a good way.
*Page of Swords can be challenged and motivated to an extreme.
*Page of Swords can be a drama queen making a fuss about nothing, or can represent being afraid of something perfectly normal – a phobia.
*Page of Swords can be about a hell-raising personality, a person who is hellbent on getting negative attention and
*Page of Swords can also be the annoyance, irritation, resentment, indignation, upsetness and anger of the people who are subjected to such a stimulus.
*Page of Swords can be paranoid – either such a personality, or a person who is feeling that way whether justified or not.
Hierophant, which shows the pope, with symbols of his power and title, being knelt to by some religious in a public ritual. Although it means religion in just about any way, or church specifically, its general meaning is conforming to official reality, behaving, being decent, morality or ‘being good,’ having a ‘clean act,’ being accepted or acceptable, the code of conduct we are familiar with, normal and normalcy, reputation, name or title, and also ‘harmless’ or benign (even in the medical sense of benign). Naturally it translates ‘official’ as well, and means ‘on paper’ or ‘the paper thing.’ Through its ‘official thing’ meaning, it means ‘committed’ in romantic questions. Put next to a marriage card, it says ‘married officially, on paper.’ So it can also be the certificate of something, even a dog ‘with papers.’ It can also be about the definition of something, as in ‘their definition, or mine.’
………………………….. The deep underlying meaning of Hierophant is about the difference between the public teachings of religion and what the in-crowd knows – the theologians, the cognoscenti, the mystics. By extension, it is about the difference between the face of anything else and its real nature or character. And that, of course, includes you and me. Hierophant is about ‘face’ – both the face we as individuals present to our public, and the ‘face’ that organizations present to the public. Hierophant is The Official Story (which is a pretense or artifice), as distinguished from reality. Think the Warren report and other such presentations.
……….………..……… Ace of Wands and Page of Swordsare both about threats and challenges. Ace of Wands is being a threat and Page of Swords is feeling and/or being threatened. Ace of Wands is ‘endangered.’
.
.
.
So today our study is about what we are supposed to believe and reality. It is about how we are supposed to behave, and what happens when we violate norms that are in the guts of other people in the situation. It describes the angst involved in crossing that line in the sand. It is also about the reward – acceptance and a good name – for conforming to those unwritten codes. We describe quite a few real-life scenarios involving the consensus we live by.

It represents a hyper state – whether the state is justified or not, and it represents any such state: thrilled, excited, challenged, motivated, making a fuss, acting the drama queen, being afraid, a hell-raiser who is hellbent on getting negative attention, annoyance, irritation, resentment, indignation, being upset, being angry, being paranoid, and other hyper states. Notice in the drawing, Page of Swords has nothing around him to be so fearful of.

Hierophant ………. There are things we only think we believe, and that is where Hierophant lives: the consensus. Here’s the pope in his regalia doing an official public ritual, which means one thing to the people and another to the in-crowd in the know. Hierophant is the official story, the surface of the matter, the face we and our organizations put on. There’s a secret treaty that I’ll act like I believe yours if you act like you believe mine, and some people – different types – do not honor this treaty and therefore pay the usually invisible price.
Hierophant often translates various moral words: conforming, behaving, being decent, being good, cleaning up your act, accepted and acceptable, the familiar code of conduct, normal and normalcy, reputation, harmless, benign (including in the medical sense). It translates should and ought to, often. As ‘the surface of things,’ it translates ‘physical’ fairly often.
Of course it means religion generally and church specifically. Along the lines of its ‘official’ spectrum of meanings, we find ‘on paper,’ certificates, being a recognized couple in romantic questions, and even a standard or a definition that is accepted, as in ‘building code.’
