Welcome to my tarot blog. I am a tarot beginner, I picked up my Rider-Waite deck shortly after Christmas 2009 after having wanted to learn to read for a long time. I keep this blog mostly for myself, but would welcome any discussion that anybody would like to contribute to my tarot journaling. I am especially interested in the history of Tarot/Tarocchi and would like to learn not only how to read Tarot cards, but Tarot card games as well.

Daily Tarot Card Draw, 28 February 2010: King of Swords (rev)


Daily Tarot Card Draw, 28 February 2010: King of Swords (rev)
Originally uploaded by j.goreham

AM: In the King of Swords, I see a man- a king- seated in a throne, holding a sword upright. He is wearing a tunic and a cloak, and his crown is veilled. There is a clear blue sky in the background with only a few clouds, there are a few birds in the sky, and the landscape is sparse.

PM: Today, I got up and watched Coronation Street. I had a hard time getting the hubby out of bed to go run errands with mother-in-law. We did a big grocery run, then we went for coffee with MIL and SIL and nephew. We came home, and the hockey game was on. I went to visit with friends (and we gossiped and drank tea and read tarot cards). Before I knew it, it was nearly 11:00!

Interpretation: I'm stumped. I can't pull anything out of the imagery of the card, so I'm going to refer to some material. Let's see what Wilma Carroll's 2-Hour Tarot Tutor has to say (I only have it a few more days before it really has to go back to the library). Wilma gives me a list of people in professions that the card could indicate, doctor, lawyer, etc. Also an insensitive man. I'm not digging it. I don't really like interpreting court cards, still. Perhaps I need to consult at Aeclectic Tarot forum or something for more ideas.
