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, February 24 2010: 8 of Swords (reversed)

This morning, after a bit of a streak of getting cups and pentacles in my readings, I pulled the 8 of Swords in the reversed position from my Rider-Waite Tarot deck. My gut instinct is that this card looks so freaking lonely. With all those swords around the figure depicted in the card, it looks like it could infer feeling like those around you are strange and faceless. Or perhaps it indicates being put into a tricky or dangerous situation 'blind' to what needs to be done to get a resolution. It's around noon, and nothing seems to be creeping up in my day that strikes a chord with any of this; the only issues I have at hand, I feel confident in how I plan to handle them. The boss is home sick (making the workplace a person lonelier than usual) and it's too cold in my office to spend any great amount of time in there, but those things don't feel as severe to me as I feel the card makes something out to be.
