This week I decided to mix it up a little and pull a card from the second tarot deck I purchased, the Llewllyn Tarot. For those who don't know, Llwellyn is a pretty school site where they have all sorts of new age content, such as wiccan, astrology, and of course tarot products and articles. This deck I purchased at, of all the mystical places in the world, a Books-A-Million in Ohio.
This deck and I have been struggling for a while. They say a deck has to get acquainted with your energy, etc, and that always feels true when I pull out my Llwellyn tarot for a reading. However, it's been getting to know me for a while now, so I thought I'd give it another try. And folks, it's a good one! Let's get to it.
Card of the Week: The Chariot
Card Description:
This card depicts a chariot driven by a capable warrior. The waves suggest the pace of life, yet the rider remains steady and firm. The two horses contrast in color, one light and one dark, showing the two poles within all situations and people. (Paraphrased from The Llewellyn Tarot companion book).
Archetypal Meaning(s):
As the image suggests, this card represents victory and triumph--the success of a multi-faceted effort. It suggests control over the current situation and life moving at an accelerated pace. It indicates finding one's stride and engaging in one's ambitions. Some say this card represent actual physical travel.
What It Says to Me:
This is an amazingly positive card to draw the week after I got my first MFA acceptance letter! I hope this means that I'm about to take charge and move in a positive direction with full control. It also makes sense in the physical sense because I will be taking a trip to visit the campus of this program this weekend. So tell me, Tarot Friends--does this card resonate with you this week? I sure hope it does!
