The tarot cards are a tool in the hands of a seeker, helping them understand and navigate the events of their life. It does not provide exact answers, but like a good teacher, it highlights the tendencies related to the questions we formulate. It is not fortune-telling or trickery, but a friend whose advice is worth considering.
The deck I have created differs from classic tarot cards in that I have supplemented the meanings of the cards based on my personal experiences and insights. The artworks on the cards have been intuitively selected from my paintings created over the past few years. Each card in the Major Arcana also includes its I Ching analogy, its astrological correspondence, and the element (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) it is associated with.
WHOLENESS
The primordial state of everything that appears in space and time. Any outcome provides a lesson that reinforces the feeling that you are in the right place at the right time. Your only task is to observe the world and yourself within it. Marvel at the feeling that everything is interconnected.
THE FOOL - ALONE
This card symbolizes the energy of spontaneity, intuition, and momentum. It represents the inner urges driven by the voice of the inner self. It is not rebellion but naive enthusiasm that propels the Fool forward. Unable to even comprehend boundaries, he exists free from them. Thus, the card's lesson is simultaneously about experiencing freedom and encountering necessary limits.
THE MAGE - PAIN
The Magician's task is to understand, tame, and shape the energies that make up the world. This involves experiencing inner and outer alchemy through personal experiences, often involving the endurance of physical and emotional pain. One must learn to harness instinctual urges and discover the power of choice in every situation. Taking responsibility for creation and testing one's abilities is essential.
THE PRIESTESS - CHILD
Inner whispers and instincts emerge in this card. Intuitive knowledge and childlike desires strive to unfold their wings, like a strong gust pushing you toward deeper understanding. In this situation, it is not rationality but mystical experiences that prevail.
THE EMPRESS - LET IN GO
The key to this card is the appearance of maternal qualities. It represents unconditional love that sets reasonable boundaries to protect you. The gifts of abundance and fertility await you if you manage the received blessings well, primarily in the emotional realm. It embodies a non-possessive love that extends equally to everything and everyone.
THE EMPEROR - TRINITY
This card represents paternal qualities. It is a test of direction, authority, and perseverance. It involves practicing the skills needed to achieve set goals. Recognize that your actions impact not just your own life but also the broader bounds of time and space. By understanding your limits, you can guide others while remembering the sustaining power of love. You may face difficult decisions, but these will be opportunities, not burdens.
HIGH PRIEST - INVITATION
The inner conviction that awakens a deep connection with your true essence through a sense of belonging. Whether it’s ideas, people, traditions, or teachings, you feel a shared path. This card helps you realize the profound truth found in connections that go beyond the visible. We are all each other's teachers, making us more complete beings. Trust in your request, and the answer will be given.
THE LOVERS - TOGETHER
Listen to your heart. You are facing a decision where the temptations of the outside world might conflict with what your heart whispers to you. It’s important to understand that every choice places our heart beside something or someone. Therefore, it's crucial to devote ourselves only to causes or people who deserve and appreciate our presence. Likewise, we should not accept situations where the other party does not offer the same in return.
THE CHARIOT - CONTEMPLATION
You create a balance between rational and emotional forces. With perseverance and willpower, you move toward your goal. Along the way, you recognize both the superficial and deeper processes around you. You stay attentive in every moment, but with peaceful observation, like the alertness of a big cat. You learn to conserve your strength and, when necessary, to be fully present in a situation with maximum effort.
STRENGHT - SUMMONING
You know exactly which solution to choose for each situation. Your solutions, born from self-discipline, can summon forces that shape reality without violence. Gently yet firmly, they affect everything around you. You rise above conflicts because you understand and fully experience the admirable nature of your being, so you are not swept away by the processes.
THE HERMIT - REALIZATION
Important insights are realized in the quiet of our solitude after experiences gained from the external world. Integrating these experiences and understanding our relationship with the world necessitates silence, retreat, and self-reflection. This necessary solitude makes way for the next outpouring. During this time, we should focus only on our own pace, without adapting to anyone or anything.
WHEEL - WELLSPRING
The Wheel represents dynamics, renewal, timeliness, and change. It signifies letting go of everything that has shaped our past and entrusting ourselves to the waves of providence. It is about returning to a state of existence free from expectations and control, reconnecting with the source from which the rhythm of our world flows. It encourages seizing new opportunities, reassessing entrenched paths, and gaining momentum toward new eras.
JUSTICE - WAITING
Everything is as it should be. You do not judge based on self-interest, nor allow such judgments to be imposed upon you. You perceive the situation before you clearly, as it is. You cannot be swayed by matters beyond true reality, which time will erode. You make decisions ethically, with a clear heart and mind, and accept only those decisions made in this way. You stand firm as an unyielding rock against false solutions, people, and situations.
THE HANGED MAN - OATH
Your life has reached a point where it is timely to review how you have sacrificed yourself for others' goals. Reflect on the vows you have made that no longer serve your well-being. It is time to reassess your decisions and perspective from a different viewpoint to form a clear and unbiased judgment.
DEATH - TRANS
Everything exists in continuous transformation; nothing is permanent. This card marks the end of a phase. Something is no longer timely, and a new chapter begins. Release with gratitude all that has accompanied and assisted you thus far. Clinging further is unnecessary and unworthy of both yourself and those you share your life with. The card’s secret lies in effortless metamorphosis and rebirth.
TEMPERANCE - REBIRTH
**Neither more nor less.** This single phrase captures the essence of this card. For something new to be born and thrive, this rule must be followed. In your life, the sum of your experiences forms this feeling; here you must find the right balance. It is not the specific experiences that matter, but the experience itself.
THE DEVIL - WAKE UP!
No one compels us to make decisions more than our own desires. In this way, we strike a bargain for the illusion of momentary pleasure, later surrendering our free will. We can awaken from this servile dream at any time and regain control over our lives. By saying no, we choose our true selves, renouncing short-term pleasures and harnessing our desires. Challenges and failures, or triumphs and victories, await us.
THE TOWER - SYNCH
One certainty in the world is uncertainty. Those who accept this will be able to sense when a process suddenly changes direction. Everything falls apart and pulls everything down with it. Not just one thing, but everything stemming from our creation undergoes sudden and profound transformation. It depends on our awareness and attitude whether we ride this wave or are buried by it. We must not only give recognition to the world but also compel it in return. If a situation is no longer worthy of us, we should bring it down ourselves before it does so to us.
THE STAR - SURPRISE
The card of explosive divine power. It represents a moment of sudden and overwhelming inspiration, a meeting, and an experience that transcends you. It might be entirely irrational, yet deep within, you sense that it draws from a source as boundless as the stars themselves. Your only task is to ride the crest of this wave and shine without worry. Transcend the concerns of daily life and experience the earthly manifestation of divine state.
THE MOON - DESCEND
You confront your fears, embrace them, and laugh them away. Deep within, beyond time and space, you know that everything is as it should be. Every process includes fear, not to imprison you, but to help you experience the joy of liberation. Allow yourself to face the dark side of the moon, and then turn towards the light.
THE SUN - CEREMONY
Joy and cheerfulness permeate your being and your creations. Providence is especially high for you now. Your only task is to gratefully enjoy life. Remember the efforts made by you and all your ancestors for this moment. Nothing is more important than preserving the bond of love in this life. Neither ideals nor interests can surpass this.
THE JUDGEMENT - TRIAL
The experience of liberation permeates this card. After numerous trials, you break free from the chains of repetition. Everything within and around you that does not deeply connect is separated. The current no longer sweeps you away; you rise above it. Inhibitions, fears, and lies no longer hold you back.
THE WORLD - BOUNDRY
The moment is imbued with completeness and harmony. Although the boundaries between the material and spiritual worlds are clearly perceptible to you, they are freely traversable. You know, dare, desire, and, if necessary, listen. You have reached the final stage of alchemy.
ACCEPTANCE
Complete acceptance of all existence, including yourself. The moment and situation are experienced without judgment. Although you are aware of infinite diversity and the dynamics of opposites, they no longer affect you. In this card, you can experience the full dissolution into accepting love. Smile and be happy :)
