Card that best points out that someone is a liar

[Minotauro]

am I alone on thinking the magician at least reversed could mean a manipulative or lying person?


the moon and devil seem the obvious choices to me and the first that came to mind , but for some reason the magician too , perhaps as the bateleur or show man aspect of it.

The magician can be a manipulative person, but not necessarily a liar. He's more about competence, and doing whatever you need to do to get the result - "the end justifies the means". That doesn't necessarily indicate lying. Whilst the Seven Swords, on the other hand, is primarily about deception.

I would say 7 swords, although the 7s in general indicate lies and secrets, and strife as a result.

Ok, basics that everyone agrees on: Moon and Devil.

Others: (tarot of vampyres)
Three of Swords- they have a secret, and it will hurt when you find out
Five of Pents- for some reason, my 5 pents shows a dark figure, crouching over a wounded body. at the very least its not comforting, but in the right context, i could see lies
Queen Swords rx
9 swords- someone could not be lying to you, but ABOUT you.
7 cups kinda carries a malicious connotation for me, think it works in the context

That's all i got, and that might just be my reaction to my deck.
hope it helps

Definitely Moon. It came in my readings a lot with my high school boyfriend who turned out to be a two faced person and a compulsive liar.

[Glass Owl]

The 7 Swords, especially if it is accompanied by the Moon and/or 3 Swords.

I came into that old thread and I wondered if the High Priestess was not someone who was holding a secret therefore she could lie too to cover it.

High Priestess reversed, I have seen. Otherwise she is just keeping secrets.
