Tarot Verbatim
Guidance RE-DOING AND RE-CYCLING THE PAST: The past is a fact, but we can rework it as raw material without being delusional. We can recycle the parts that we no longer have use for, and polish or even reinterpret the best parts we would like to feature. Handling the past in three piles: the parts we take with us as a foundation as we head for the future; the parts we redact (black out); the parts we are stuck with, wishing to God things had been different: We can plan what use we make of the parts this way. (Now, the part we make a foundation of for the future is either what we acquired because we were looking where we were going, or what we acquired because we wised up after running into the tree.) What we pursue on a daily basis right now is making us a good or a regrettable past. The messages are also about turning financial bad times around.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Hierophant and Two of Wands Hierophant and Two of Wands complement one another intricately along the lines of meaning ‘a sure thing.’ Hierophant means respectable, official, conservative; Two of Wands means security, financial security and financial control. It is a plan, an outlook, a projection, and long term.
Hierophant and Two of Wands Hierophant is religion (or church); Two of Wands is the bank (or financier, or the man who owns the town). Hierophant is respectability, and Two of Wands is stability.
Two of Wands and Five of Cups Two of Wands is the good future; Five of Cups is the sad past. A projected loss for a budget, they say, or ‘going to lose.’ They also speak of lost stability and a sad future.
Knight of Wands and Five of Cups Knight of Wands is in a hurry, getting places, pursuing or running away, making (fast) progress. Put him next to certain cards and in Tarot Verbatim™ he is ‘headed for’ maybe something that isn’t progress at all. Here, Knight of Wands and Five of Cups are ‘headed for a loss’ or getting away from a loss as fast as they can.
Five of Cups is a loss, the sad past, regret, being sorry, mourning and not seeing the future because of the effect or haze of the past: being haunted. With the spilled wine, it also speaks of a drinking problem as well as turning one’s back on drinking (the remaining cups).
Our story, when put together, is about handling the past: whether we leave it behind and head for the future, whether we are stuck wishing to God things had been different, or whether we make a foundation of it for a better future (either because we have been looking where we are going, or because we wised up after running into the tree). It is about turning financial bad times around.

Hierophant is the official story, the official title, the official name (as on the title) the respectable face of things, the physical aspect, the protocol or routine or ordinary way, average, middle, mainstream, clean or cleaned up. It is ‘should’ a lot. Decent, harmless, good, safe, all right, usual, okay. The illustration shows the pope and assistants doing an official ceremony, which is what they usually do.
Knight of Wands mainly is speed. In a hurry, moving out, fast progress, getting out of Dodge, rush job, runs, hot pursuit, getting to, heading on a course. You see him with his nervous horse, looking panicky himself (in my opinion), the wind whipping his clothes as he goes.
Two of Wands There stands the banker, the man who owns the town, with the globe in his hands (a bit of humor from Pamela Coleman Smith, the artist?) on the roof of his castle, planning how he is going to make even more money from that real estate. Financial security, financial planning, real estate, secure future, the future (often contributing simply ‘will’ or ‘will be’). The plan. Strangely, this card never shows up for that rich man women want as the boyfriend.
Five of Cups is a loss, being the loser, failure and fail, being broke, the sad past, bad times and bad scenes, to repent, regret, being sorry, mourning and not seeing the future because of the effect or haze of the past: being haunted. It means sadness and disappointment. A black-robed bent figure gazes at spilled wine, his back to remaining full cups. Sky is gray. (The red and green colors coming from the cups invite the subject of losing body fluids.) With the spilled wine, it also speaks of a drinking problem as well as turning one’s back on drinking (the remaining cups). It refers to something that cost you dearly. It refers to sickness

Tarot Verbatim
Guidance Attachment to our foundation (be it ever so despised, even) is fundamental. When we leave a place we have lived, worked, loved or even been sentenced to, emotions take over. Anticipation of progress in the place we are rushing into is exciting, especially when the impetus of getting out of a sad scene fuels the anticipation. New life and old life occupy the same space for a while.

Knight of Wands … leaving …
Five of Cups … a failed …
Four of Wands … marriage or house or Company.

Knight of Wands, fast progress, moving out of town, being in a rush, pursuing or leaving.
Five of Cups, sadness, loss, wishing I hadn’t.

Page of Swords Beset by paranoia is he: There he stands on a grassy knoll, whirling around with sword in air and hair flying and nothing is seen for a mile in a circle. Upset, jealous, jittery, afraid, wrought up and excited.
Knight of Wands shares this hyper-alertness. He is fleeing or pursuing full speed ahead, his club brandished and his clothes flying. He is moving, making fast progress.
Five of Cups wishes he had … or hadn’t. The past is haunting us here, and we have experienced a loss that hangs over us like a fog. Spilled wine, and our back is to wine that is left. Mourning and grief.
Four of Wands Our foundation – home, marriage, business, house or company – is an attachment even if we leave it in disgust. We tend to run back there, especially during or after a loss. Illustration here shows a society wedding which is foundational to a community.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice Attachment to our foundation (be it ever so despised, even) is fundamental. When we leave a place we have lived, worked, loved or even been sentenced to, emotions take over. Anticipation of progress in the place we are rushing into is exciting, especially when the impetus of getting out of a sad scene fuels the anticipation. New life and old life occupy the same space for a while.
Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Advice (above ) which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Group Analytical Tarot Reading below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively pick those out and decide whether to encourage or suppress them. They are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. (It is a group message like a horoscope, except Tarot isn’t based on someone else’s birth data, so it can be specific, accurate, detailed and direct. Our experiment here is “How much more accurate is it?”)
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.
Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that negates other cards. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. When a pronoun is in parentheses, feel very free to substitute. The question in a ‘real’ individual reading supplies at least half the information!

Four of Wands
Page of Swords – Knight of Wands – Five of Cups
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
The story of leaving a place (home, marriage, business, house, company) in a hurry, upset by a loss hits you in the face in this spread:
Page of Swords … Upset …
Knight of Swords … leaving …
Five of Cups … a failed …
Four of Wands … marriage.
Page of Swords, upset, jittery, nervous, threatened … and excited. Knight of Wands, fast progress, moving out of town, being in a rush, pursuing or leaving. Five of Cups, sadness, loss, wishing I hadn’t. Four of Wands, home, marriage, business, house, company.
But then you see ‘excited to move’ and ‘exciting progress’ – Page of Swords + Knight of Wands. And ‘pursuing marriage,’ Page of Wands + Four of Wands. So we are talking about a transition – about going either way, (depressed to leave, excited to pursue). (Have you noticed we often do that? – things go either way?)
The star card here is Four of Wands as the home, marriage, business, house or company our lead character (you?) is either chasing after or running away from.

Page of Swords Beset by paranoia is he: There he stands on a grassy knoll, whirling around with sword in air and hair flying and nothing is seen for a mile in a circle. Upset, jealous, jittery, afraid, wrought up and excited.
Knight of Wands shares this hyper-alertness. He is fleeing or pursuing full speed ahead, his club brandished and his clothes flying. He is moving, making fast progress.
Five of Cups wishes he had … or hadn’t. The past is haunting us here, and we have experienced a loss that hangs over us like a fog. Spilled wine, and our back is to wine that is left. Mourning and grief.
Four of Wands Our foundation – home, marriage, business, house or company – is an attachment even if we leave it in disgust. We tend to run back there, especially during or after a loss. Illustration here shows a society wedding which is foundational to a community.
