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, March 1: The World

Photobucket

Monday morning, I drew The World- what a way to start the month and the working week!

AM: The World depicts a nude, female figure, partially covered with a flowing shawl, encircled by a garland. She holds a baton in each hand (they are vertical). The garland is bound at the top and the bottom with red bindings that resemble the symbol of infinity. In the corners of the card are the heads of a man, eagle, oxen, and lion. I suspect they are meant to elude to the 4 elements.

PM: Monday was actually a pretty cool day at work- we caught of glimpse of the Canadian Forces new helicopter, the Cyclone, as base personnel towed it 'down the hill' to the lower base for ship trials. I found the rest of a donation that I had been searching for for a couple of days now. I went home at the end of the day and spent some quality time with my husband.

Interpretation: The World, Card number 21, is the last card in the Major Arcana. According to The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need, The World represents balance and a feeling of complete-ness (my paraphrasing) spiritually, and the ending of The Fool's journey (I only pulled the fool on February 26, so it's hard to think I've gone the whole way through the Major Arcana since then, ha!). More practically, I think I knew deep down inside that I would find the rest of that donation. I was also looking forward to just chilling out and relaxing and giggling with my husband that evening.
