keymeanings only for the cards

nuttyprofessor

Searching for keywords for the majors proved to be fruitful for me. It's clear that 1 keymeaning is just to narrow, and by pondering about every card my understanding really has broadened. As I was familiar with the Thoth tarot for several years, not all meanings are original. But at least I got the why of it.

The Magician and Justice have gotten four keywords. Commerce is traditionally related to the Magician, because the card is related to the planet mercury. However, I don't apply any astrological constraints, and got aware that juggling in the middle ages was not a hobby.

Some traditional meanings are just impractical, for example subtle change or occult wisdom for the High Priestess.

As I use reversals, all meanings are positive or neutral at least. Hopefully those meanings open the door to intuitive reading.

I am open to suggestions.
