yes it’s World Tarot Day May 25
I have been celebrating WTD since 2004. Created by Tarot Reader Den Elder, WTD has expanded enormously as interest in the Tarot, it’s rich history, and because of the always uncanny and synchronistic RIGHT ON intriguing self- reflective insights the Tarot always offers.
The Tarot is a sacred path to enlightenment and Tarot fascination grows minute by minute. There are over a thousand Tarot decks published now, in the 60’s there were only 20. There are always 78 cards in a real Tarot deck. There are many other ORACLE type decks which are very nice, angels etc. but aren’t true tarot decks.
Starting the archetypal journey with ZERO -THE FOOL , there is
#1 The Magician, #2 The hIGh Priestess, #3 The Empress, #4 The Emperor, #5 The POPE, #6 The LOVERS.
#7 The CHARIOT , #8 Justice, #9 The HERMIT, #10 The Wheel of Fortune, #11 Strength #12 The Hanged MAn
#13 Death, #14 Temperance or Art #15 The Devil, #16 The Tower { 911} #17 The STAR, #18 The MOON, #19 The SUN,
#20 Judgement or The Aeon and finally #21 The World
an entire Archetypal journey
the MOSt popular RIDER WAITE TAROT DECK
There is a tres modern artsy punky funky Steampunk Tarot
There’s one of my favourite’s is the INNER CHILD TAROT which I use for children’s parties, It is one of my daughter Leah’s favourites since she was a young girl. The Inner Child is a brilliant rendition which takes Fairy Tales and fits them perfectly into a standard 22 major arcana set.
For example Little red Riding Hood is The Fool.
There are Feminist decks, decks based on Rumi’s poetry and a famous Tarot deck from a James Bond movie
there is a LORd of the RINGS Tarot
Gandalf of course is the MAGICIAN, the Wheel of Fortune is the ring of Power itself
There are baseball Tarot decks, housewife Tarot decks,
there is a ZOMBIE TAROT
there is a HELLO KITTY TAROT DECK
and there is of course an idea I had but someone got to it before me
