Shame. Shame. I feel like I’ve neglected the Wands cards on this blog a bit. I’m more of a Swords and Cups kinda gal. But here in my Sunday Spotlight column I have a chance to redress the balance. And we’re going to start by looking at this card:
I’ve been writing novels in my leisure time for years. Haven’t finished any yet but here are some things I’ve learned along the way…
It takes two things to be a writer:
Wands cards don’t lack chutzpah or confidence and the King of Wands is the most confident one of all. Here are 7 things he wouldn’t do in the workplace courtesy of Steve Tobak, a popular business blogger in the United States.
He wouldn’t…
Ten Of Wands: A man carries a heavy load in his arms in a manner that looks uncomfortable. He’s completely focused on the task at hand, nothing else. There’s no way he can see where he’s going so there’s a good chance he’s going to come to grief at some stage on his journey home.
Lol. I get this card a lot. Being Continue reading
I’m currently working on an Italian translation of a brochure for my sister (hmmm, should be doing it right now in fact.) Years ago I lived in Italy for awhile and when I returned home I taught the language for ten years. Stretching my Italian thinking skills again has got me contemplating the Tarot of Translation. What cards in the Tarot deck might represent this act?
The first that comes to mind is this one…
I thought we might have a look today at Tarot cards associated with medical issues. NOTE: Just because these cards turn up in a reading does NOT mean you have a medical condition. As I keep on saying, there are 50 shades of Tarot, 50 possible meanings (or thereabouts), for each card. Please take the following with a large grain of salt. Some I’m sure of. Others are educated guesses.
Page cards are the last bastion for me to crack on this blog. I struggled to write about the Ace cards because I was wrestling with a couple of different ideas about them. But it’s a whole other story with the Pages. I struggle to write about them because they are just so darn tootin’ hard to understand. But I’m gonna give it a go. (Deep breath)….
Like all the court cards Pages usually represent people. But not always. They’re complicated. Whilst kings and queens represent the mature and the experienced, Pages represent the young, the immature, or an aspect of your own personality that is beginning to blossom. If they symbolise an event it’s usually something new and undeveloped. And each Page card represents these things according to their suit as follows:
Until recently I thought I had the Ace cards all figured out. But then I realised that just like their playing card doppelgängers they have two sides. On the one hand they signify beginnings. And on the other they signify a bonus of some sort.
In playing cards the Ace can equal 1 or 11. In Tarot an Ace can symbolise the start of something or a great blessing being bestowed in some area of your life. Often they signify both at once i.e. The new thing coming into your life IS a great gift.
Let’s take them suit by suit.
I finally got around to watching The Dark Knight Rises months after everyone else. Am not a big fan of movie violence so was a bit meh about the action but enjoyed the characters and the plot. Let’s have a look at the Tarot of this movie…
Seven Of Wands: A man defends himself using one wand against six others. He is under attack and the odds are against him. The two different shoes on his feet suggest he’s on uneven footing yet note that he’s fighting from a position of strength at the top of the hill.
Wands are about Continue reading
