The 10s of Sola-Busca and Rider-Waite Tarot

I guess nothing is what it seems to be. A very representative example of how the meaning of the cards can be altered from one artist to another and art can and is misleading when someone does not know and understand the content, respectively what is behind the images. Read more About the Tens ›

The Book of Thoth aka. The grand Etteila (1804)

Tarot became quite popular – exoteric – in the last few hundreds of years, and we owe that to the French cartomancer and fortune teller Jean-Baptiste Alliette.

Day twenty-one: Six of Swords.
I named this card Departure. It is about leaving behind ideas, concepts, and not about the physical departure. None of the Swords cards is about physical or material things, but about thoughts and concepts, about prejudices and mentalities. Read more 78 days Tarot challenge, day twenty-one ›
