Have you ever felt the querent has murdered someone?

The crowned one

I guess it would depend what other emotions he felt along with that guilt.

I could see the chariot, hanged man, justice all cards that might, given the appropriate question indicate a part of the emotional make up of murder. Guilt isolated from other emotions specifically? Seven of swords, five of cups, three of swords.

This is such an interesting thread. It puts me in mind of dusting off Crime and Punishment, lighting a candle, and pulling cards for Raskolnikov, just to see what comes up.

Crime and Punishment

Ha! Great idea. To use the tarot as a literary tool which dives into the characters motives and personality. I must give this a try when I start my new book. Heck, it doesn't even have to involve a crime.

Thanks for the idea!
