Product Information

The artist, Eugene Smith, uses a natural palette – greens, browns, blues, greys, with an occasional splash of colour from flowers or from human constructions such as vehicles and buildings. Additionally, the instruments of the suits are clearly man-made: the Wands have scarlet ribbons flying from them, the golden chalices are studded with jewels, the pentacles and swords are wrought from metal and decorated with with gold. With use, I think they will discover layers of insight into their personal lineage, regardless of their ethnicity. 21. Cat Tarot VIEW PRICE A salamander can be seen by the feet of the King of Wands as he confidently sits on his throne and surveys the natural world. Salamanders are fire spirits who represent transformational fire energy. It is believed they used to fire-walk and many reside around volcanoes. It appears on the King of Wands, the suit associated with the element of fire. Snake Some of the cards depict suffering. Death is a California condor feeding on carrion. The five of coins is an image of five dead raccoon dogs, a primitive canid species often brutally exploited in the Chinese fur trade. The five of cups depicts a capybara, a large rodent, dead from a bloody wound in its side. The illustrations on the cards have an enchanting effect which will automatically give you a sense of understanding when reading the cards.

Finally, there is a horse on the Death card. In contrast to the other horses, this one does not have a positive meaning; it is meant to represent one of the four horses of the apocalypse and is symbolic of death and destruction.

Other than the sign of Taurus, bulls are associated with sexuality. References to Greek myths are common in Tarot, and the idea that bulls are symbols of sexual desire comes from the Greek myth of the Minotaur. The legend goes that King Minos asked for a sign of approval from the God Poseidon and was sent a white bull. Because the bull was so beautiful, he did not sacrifice it to the God, which angered Poseidon. As punishment, Poseidon made the king's wife, Pasiphaë, fall in love with the bull. She mated with the bull, got pregnant and eventually gave birth to the Minotaur, who was born half-man and half-bull. In the Court cards Knights are featured with shields, and the King and Queen have crowns situated nearby or within their grasp.The wolf and the dog on the Moon Tarot cards are supposed to symbolize both human restraint and animal instincts. The dog is tamed, but the wolf is the wild, natural, intuitive thoughts and feelings we all have, which are buried deep beneath the surface. For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not believe, no explanation will suffice. I am in two minds about the symbolism behind the Queen of Pentacles. It is possible that the furry creature could represent a rabbit, but it is also possible that it is a hare.

It is pretty obvious that snakes represent temptation and sexuality, as most people are familiar with the story of the snake tempting Adam and Eve. In fact, both individuals and the snake make an appearance on the Lovers card. In the case of The Lovers Tarot card, the symbolism is self-explanatory.

Each tarot reading is unique and can bring out different aspects of the same card. The more I explore the symbols used in the Tarot, the richer my readings are. Horses are magnificent animals and having studied this chapter and looked more carefully at these seven cards, I know when any of them next appear in a reading, I’ll understand a little more about the person I’m reading for and their choices in their present situation.
