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, 11 August 2010: 5 of Wands


Daily Tarot Card Draw, 11 August 2010: 5 of Wands
Originally uploaded by j.goreham

This morning, I got the 5 of Wands out of my Morgan-Greer Tarot deck.

The card depicts 5 staffs being smacked around each other by 5 different hands (5 different people). In this deck, you can't see anybody's faces. There are a few hints that they are of different walks of life based on their sleeved arms: one person is wearing a cloak, another a studded gauntlet, etc.

Interpretation: I don't think this is what the card means for me exactly but it always reminds me of makulele which is a stick-fighting aspect of Capoeira. (I love Capoeira, but find it way too hard to do!) This card doesn't look as elegant and choreographed as makulele. It does look very busy, and here I am at work and it's a busy day. I think like the people depicted in this card, I just need to keep a level head today.
