Universal Waite Tarot Deck

Post by manan.mehta » Sun Jul 12, 2009 6:17 am

Hello Friends!

Having come across this wonderful classes & the idea of bathing the cards in the SUN appealed to me. Being a SUN fascinator, I have a SUN Tatoo too & I immediately let my cards shine after reading the intro. The most interesting thing that happened was immediately after I put my cards out in the sun, say in 40 seconds time the Sunlight increased :) That's really got me excited. Not sure how would you'll look at it?

I should admit that while coming up with the feelings associated with the cards I was struggling, however did it for the 1st 8:

0 The fool - Careless, Enjoys nature, End (indicates new beginning or a journey)
1 The Magician - Charismatic power, Helpful
2 The High Priestess - Content, focused, thoughtful
3 The Empress - Seeks enjoyment, Lonely
4 The Emperor - Authority, Composed
5 The Hierophant - Showeing blessing to followers, Serenity
6 The Lovers - Getting closer
7 The Chariot - Peace, Sense of achievement

10. Wheel of fortune - fun, risky, exhilirating
11. Strength - Beauty, confidence
12. Self sacrifice - scary, dangerous
13. Changing - new, fresh, intimidating
14. Temperance - unstable, I'm not sure actually what I feel about this card....

i loved your interpretations, what made you think  of the magician as silly?

and temperance...there must be something there that makes you feel ambiguous?

Your poor sister btw :)
