PAMUYA
Hello all, and welcome to all fellow Newbies:
Being new to tarot I want to take the time to explore each card and hear all the different interpretations, and opinions on the cards. Each of us has our own special insights and experiences which we can share and help each other grow in our knowledge of tarot. I read from the Rider/Waite/Smith deck, it would be very interesting to hear from you that work from other decks as well.
I find puting pen to paper, or in this case fingers to keyboard, putting my thoughts in my own words is a great learning tool. So far the responces have been wonderful, filling in gaps and opening new possibilites in my understanding of the cards.
I am calling it Tarot 101 because as a beginner to tarot, I need to start from the basics, and get a base understanding of the cards and suits. I am trying to really look at the card and feel it's meaning. What I was taught in class dosen't always fit what I see in the card. Sometimes I look at a card and it takes me places, gives me feelings, or I see a certain person.
Please feel free to join me. We will start with the Minor Arcana, and work our way through the different suits then work on the Major Arcana, one card per day.
Four of Wands
Looking into the Four of Wands I see we are back at the castle in the Ace of Wands. Again, a lot of yellow, contentment; that is what I am feeling. Time to celebrate, reached a time of completion. A clear celebration, partners holding flowers into the air, castle in the background showing security is close by. Four wands hold up a garland of grapes and flowers. Grapes/abundance, flowers to remind us to enjoy the little things in life, the sweet smell of success. People in the background are conversing/dancing?, enjoying the celebration. Celebrations: the ending of the old to bring in the new. The number 4: stability, achievement, completion, passage, turning point, milestone. This is a very pleasant card, much like a party I would give in my own back yard.
Direct: Cause for Celebration, An engagement/marriage/baby, a goal is achieved, a major commitment.
Reversed: “All work; No Play”, workaholic, relationships may end, problems expressing gratitude, hopes dashed or delayed, need to enjoy the little things in life, delay in engagement/marriage.
This card for me seemed easy to plunge right in, how did you do? What do you see?
