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, August 9 2010: Page of Pentacles


Daily Tarot Card Draw, August 9 2010: Page of Pentacles
Originally uploaded by j.goreham

This morning over breakfast, I pulled the Page of Pentacles from my Morgan-Greer Tarot Deck. For a second hand deck, is sure does still have new-deck smell and firm edges :)

Description: This card depicts a young man in a red hat and dark cloak, in profile. The sky is a golden yellow (dusk or dawn?). There is a body of water in the background with a tree and rolling hills (or small mountains). The page is looking ahead to a large pentacle.

Interpretation: As I was sitting to quickly write up this card in my diary at my desk at work while I sipped coffee before the day started, I got a phone call from a local organization looking for a voluntary position for a young man. Alternatively, the lads working in the restoration bay could feature heavily in my day, or most likely, JKP might be my page of pentacles. According to "The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need", this is the card of the student/scholar. This card could refer to JKP and his work on his thesis- his adviser frequently remarks that it is good enough to be published, and as his dissertation reaches the end of its cycle, he is thinking more and more of what to do after it. I think that the page in this card is looking into a pentacle at sun rise, thinking about his future endeavors. Really, this card has made me realize how many Pages of Pentacles there are in my life- one of which I am happily married to. I hope this card means JKP will have a great working day.
