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.

Feb 8 2010 - Daily Card: The Queen of Cups


Feb 8 2010 - Daily Card: The Queen of Cups
Originally uploaded by j.goreham

This morning for my daily card, I drew the Queen of Cups. I will straight-up admit that I'm not crazy about court cards (in my daily 1-card readings), they speak to me the least of all the cards in the deck. 2 Hour Tarot Tutor (Wilma Carroll, Berkley Books, 2004) suggests that the card represents a loving wife or mother, a woman who likes to cook and sew.... cosmetics, jewelery. The Only Tarot Book suggests that if the card doesn't represent a person, it might represent a situation with creative aspects, or a relationship or circumstances that are positive.

Meh. Court Cards. If I think about *who* the Queen of Cups could be, nothing jumped out at me, but it could be my friend Annalise who is quite domestic and one helluva jewelery artist. As a situation, I am going to be working on a display case all year (change it once a week) at the museum, and I've just bought some art supplies.
