Day 1.

My sister has been studying tarot for a while now. Some of you might not know what tarot is? Well, tarot is. Tarot is a deck of 78 cards. In this deck, there are 22 major cards; The Fool, The Magician, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man, Death, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgment, & The World. These represent The Fool going through a journey. In each of these, they can reflect off of your own life. Then, there's the other 56, set into 4 suits; wands, cups, swords, & pentacles. These symbols all represent something & that's how you read them. Wands mean fire. They tend to represent things such as creativity or passion. Cups mean water. They tend to represent things like emotions. Swords represent air. Those tend to mean things like your intellectual life. Last, the pentacles, which represent earth. They usually mean things like money, material life. They are separated like a regular deck of cards; there's the ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, pages, knights, kings, & queens.
I'm going to start a tarot journal, which I'd like to share. Everyday I will pick out a card in my begging journey through tarot & try to interpret it. Then, I will look up what it actually means in my nifty tarot book, The Complete Book Of Tarot, The Step-By-Step Guide to Reading the Cards by Juliet Sharman-Burke .
Day 1, May 20, 2010;
Card: Queen Of Pentacles.
What I see or observe? A queen is sitting in a throne holding a circular shape with a pentacle on it. She's in the middle of a field in the country with a rabbit on the ground, rabbit usually represents fertility. The throne has what it looks like a ram's head on the arm. There is also a rose vine at the top.
What I think it means? I think it might represent wealth in happiness & peace.
What the book says? I picked a quote from the paragraph that stuck out most to me. "Generous with her good fortune & may indicate help given on practical nature."


Welcome to my journey. :)
