IX. The Hermit
This card is about soul-searching, self-reflection, and meditation. Drawing this card indicates a need to block out everyone else's voice for your own, to reconnect with your inner self. So of course, Guru Pathik is featured on this card, since he attempted to help Aang do exactly that. When this card appears, make sure you take a breath and find some time to be alone to reconnect with your inner voice.

I'm drawing an Avatar themed tarot deck (Major Arcana only)! Every day I'll reveal a new design. :) Follow along and let me know which one is your favorite!

I’ve already posted some of the art from this deck under the artist’s tag, Brighton Ballard (scroll down past the Royal Tenenbaums and Spirited Away stuff). She’s taken this previously only two-color art and made it full color, and now the deck is currently on Kickstarter. About halfway funded, with 19 days left. Go check it out and help this deck get funded!

A:TLA TAROT DECKS
I recently rewatched A:TLA and really wanted a tarot deck inspired by it. I found one that I loved that was out of print (the ATLA tarot by Yappangiearts) and bought it for out of print prices, and I'm absolutely in LOVE with it! That said, it is out of print and going for a lot of money right now, so I wanted to make a post about all of the other ones out there so people know their options! I'm not affiliated with any of these decks or creators, I just love tarot and A:TLA lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Firstly, we have The ATLA Tarot Card Set by ArtByyEmber over on etsy. It's a Major Arcana only deck, meaning it only has the 22 cards of the Major Arcana in it. It retails for $48.99 USD.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another option is the Avatar Arcana Tarot Deck from AriannaRoseArt, a full 78 card deck retailing for $62 USD (or $30 USD for the majors only) on their bigcartel shop.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then we have The Jasmine Dragon Tarot by Camiquinta, which is a full 78 card deck for sale on both etsy at $70 USD and their bigcartel shop for $56 USD.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next is the White Lotus Elemental Tarot Deck by Raquel aka ArtyAvian. This was a kickstarter and so stock is limited. The deck is a 78 card deck plus 5 bonus cards, and though the version with the guidebook is sold out on their bigcartel shop, the normal 83 card deck and box set is still available for $60, with a free guidebook PDF also available from their shop.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, there's one A:TLA kickstarter currently in funding, The Master of the Elements Tarot Deck. It also features LOK characters and adheres very closely to the Rider-Waite-Smith deck in subject matter as far as I can tell. The lowest pledge that includes the deck is $55 USD, though there are higher pledge options available.

Universes Beyond is a stupid idea, but since WotC are doing it anyway, here's what they'd do if they had any backbone:
Clive Barker's Hellraiser, making the subtext in phyrexia Domme Text, and to get a 4-hour Spice8Rack video about the Gender of it all.
Twilight, to piss off the gamer bros and because they can finally do a Vanilla Matters theme around Bella Swan.
Pride And Prejudice, since the incongruity will be funny and I want a Dark Depths functional reprint that summons a Mister Darcy With His Shirt Off token.
Achewood, because I want 'Depression' to be a keyword, I want a Mexican Magical Realism theme deck, and I want 'Rapper' and 'Pornogropher' to be creature types.
Lady Chaterly's Lover, because I want a Rhystic Studies video on the erotic card art and booster packs sold in brown paper envelopes.
Tomie, Mr Junji Ito has already done custom art for them, and I think a spot removal card called "Bizarre Psychosexual Murder-Suicide" would be funny in tournament reports.
All Quiet On The Western Front, because "make your opponent too miserable to keep playing" is already a strategy with lantern control, and the obvious escalation is actual depression.
The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, since I think it would make a very specific type of nerd extremely angry when they inevitably get it all wrong; I bet they'd make Death a Black card and the flamewars would be beautiful.
Atlas Shrugged, so I can watch Spice8Rack spontaneously combust live on camera.
Cannibal Corpse Lyrics, because 'make your opponent to uncomfortable to keep playing' should also be a valid strategy, and I also want a Rhystic Studies video on the art.
Dungeon Bitches, because I would like them to give me money for the license please, and also to crack gamer eggs on an industrial scale.
Sponge Bob Square Pants, what do you mean they actually did this one.
Kaguya Sama: Love Is War, this one is not a joke I would buy this, and they should let me design it I have so many good ideas.
And of course:
And of course:
Yugioh.

It's my birthday
and the thing you can do to celebrate is check out Spindlewheel, a tarot-like storytelling system where you weave a story from card to card.
Tumblr media
Spindlewheel is a unique system where the deck has as much to say about the story as you do, but the story is bespoke to you and your friends every time. Every Spindlewheel game is a constructed scaffolding for story structure, ranging from western four-act stories in Spindlewheel Classic, to tense bombastic duels to the bitter end in Meet Me In The Field of Honour At Dawn, to sorting out a trio's complicated feelings for each other in Love Machine.
The goal of Spindlewheel is to tell a satisfying story. Your character might win wealth and fame, or they might crash and burn. Both of these are victories if they fit the arc of the story you’ve told, and bring satisfaction to you as a storyteller.
How do you play? Well, I'm glad you asked!
Spindlewheel’s fundamental verb is interpretation.
Tumblr media
Each card’s text evokes an idea.  The upright and inverse text are different. Sometimes they’re diametrically opposed; often, they’re two sides of the same coin.
Use the card as an anchor for the part of the story that you’re telling.
A card can be a person, an event, an attitude, or a physical object. Use as much as the entire card, or as little as a single word. A card is interpreted twice: once when it enters your hand, and again when you play it. It does not have to be the same interpretation.
FOR EXAMPLE: I might draw the Hearth card and Reflect that I feel like people closed their doors to me; but I might Engage that card later, declaring I won’t do the same to someone else, and play it to invite someone into my home.
Tumblr media
It's a really excellent one shot system: it takes no prep, every setting is procedurally generated for each table, and most games are GMless. The games that are GMed are designed to support improvisation and provide coherent throughlines so the GM can focus on moment to moment play. It also works as a GM tool within other systems for when you need an ominous portent or an answer to a question where a dice roll just won't cut it.
It also makes for pretty damn good radio. Check it out on Party of One, An Atlas of the World Unknown, You Don't Meet In An Inn, Follow the Leader, and played extensively in the devlog Spindlewheel Stories where you can listen as the game takes shape over time.
Did I mention it's got an open SRD? Anyone can hack the system and sell their games. Here's a collection of people who have done just that!
Tumblr media
Curious?
There's lots of ways to try Spindlewheel online for free! give @spindlewheelbot (by Caro Asercion) on twitter an @ for a "classic" spread inspired by the celtic cross, or a single card "vibe check"; print and play the deck with the original legacy art or play it on playingcards.io; or play it on Tabletop Playground and Tabletop Simulator.
Convinced?
Head over to www.teacabbage.com/spindlewheel to pick your digital copy of Spindlewheel on itch.io and roll20!

OMG, I love reading your detailed reaponses to the Tarot Ask Game! Lots of good and thought-provoking stuff. 🤩 If it's not done already or uncomfortable, can you give is your take on any of these? 👀 Thank you so much! 🥰 ✒️🦋 🌕🦉🍄🫧
Hi, how are you? Hope you're well 💓
Thank you for the questions and messages. 🥰
✒️ What’s a quote that sums up your philosophy?
“It’s a small world. It keeps recrossing itself. He who would do battle with the many-headed hydra of human nature must pay a world of pain & his family must pay it along with him! & only as you gasp your dying breath shall you understand, your life amounted to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean!” Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops? Cloud atlas - David Mitchell
There's a quote that talks about how the world, our lives, will repeat itself over and over again through many lifetimes in the same novel but it mentions su*cide so I will just quote a part of it here: "We do not stay dead long,[omitted], my birth, next time around, will be upon me in a heartbeat." It reflects my philosophy about the continuity of life and past lives.
Many things worked out as I planned them to, but that did not always prove of benefit to me. But almost everything developed naturally and by destiny. Memories, dreams, reflections - C.G Jung
This closely reflects the observation I have about life in general.
🦋 What advice would you give to someone just starting to learn tarot?
The short advice is to take it easy 😗
Learn the fundamentals and try to listen to your own intuition at the same time.
It will be different for each one of us, but in my case, books, fancy accessories, and numerous decks in your possession only served to distract me from really diving into Tarot. I find learning through direct experiences of reading, especially for other people, the most effective way. Also, watching how other readers do readings is also very educational.
Thinking about all the interpretations of each card can be intimidating, but if you group them by themes, I think it will be easier. The fool's journey, the meaning of each suit, the general meaning of each number, try to find the undercurrent similarities.
Like everything else, if you do it often enough, you will get used to it and get better at it.🕸
🌕 How do you connect with the energy of a querent before a reading?
I usually ask for their name (not initials) and their favourite colours, a scene they find beautiful so that I can build a mental image of them in my head. I'm a visual thinker so I can't think about something if I can't see it in my head. Then I will pick an object, usually a crystal to represent the querent and look at that object throughout the reading, imagine myself sitting across the querent. That's how I connect with a querent.
I have to admit that I don't feel sensations in my body like how some readers when they channel the energy of a querent and the reading. If I would describe my reading process in details, it would sound very mechanical, detached and lack the mystical or fantastical elements usually associated with divination 😅
🫧 How do you cleanse or recharge your tarot decks, if at all?
I sometimes put a Selenite crystal bar on top of the deck in good faith that the deck will be cleansed. But a part of me is quite sceptical about it. I keep my decks in separated pouches in my drawer to keep them out of light and heat and occasionally spread them on my bed to let them breathe some air.
I don't usually feel the need to cleanse my decks. Unless it was touched by someone else, then I would let it sit in a dark, open space, alone, just like how I myself would like to be when I need to recharge. An open space, cool air and darkness are good energy cleansing agents for me.
🦉Do you believe some people are gifted, and is that necessary to read tarot?
I think Tarot is like the art field or any other fields, some people will have an easier time grasping the system, do it faster, more distinctively. Some people are naturally more sensitive to energies, understand images intuitively, have the ability to articulate words in a way that flows. But that doesn't mean other people who don't have that natural disposition cannot do the same or better.
It boiled down to the mindset and how much interest you have for the subject. A curious and open mindset will make an accepting attitude towards many things, which will free the mind and the heart and let things flow more naturally, outward expression of this can be considered as natural talent. Giftedness may give you an initial boost but interest will give you fuel in the long run.
So no, I don't think you need to be gifted to read Tarot. You just need to be open to the idea of Tarot.
🍄 Do you use any tool, substance or technique to enhance the accuracy of your readings?
My tools and techniques are good sleep, well rested body, neutral state of mind and heart, good lighting and drinking lots of water.
My favourite motto when doing a reading: "first thought, best thought"

Knight of Pentacles
Another installment of my Tarot deck, this time featuring my design for the Knight of Pentacles. I’ve always felt that the knights in the Tarot could have more interesting mounts, so I decided on a figure riding a camel for this knight. The Knight of Pentacles is associated with hard work, perseverance, material wealth, strength, endurance and duty, so the camel was the most natural animal I could associate with these qualities. My knight herself is also not a typical one; I was inspired by the people of the Atlas Mountains in Algeria and their traditional dress. The jewellery and clothing are so opulent and rich in a way that reflected the Knight of Pentacles association with material wealth.
It’s interesting to note that the horses in the Rider-Waite deck are moving differently depending on the suit–the Knight of Swords’ is racing ahead, the Wands’ is leaping, and the Cups’ is riding gallantly up to a stream. The Knight of Pentacles’ horse is actually stood still, which is a symbol of his slow, methodical approach and reliability. I wanted my Knight to look relaxed, like she isn’t in a hurry, and instead seems to be enjoying the ride while she examines her Pentacle and its power.

Congrats on getting your comics started !! I know it will be amazing, you always rock !
By the way, can I ask if you ever intend on selling the ATLA/LOK as a real tarot deck one day ?
I'd be so interested !
I would love to. Alas my tarot deck isn't even half way done and I have firmly given up on the idea of finishing it this year.
Also it's kind of expensive to print so while I would love to have it printed I will need to do a lot of research into cost effective ways of getting it printed. I don't want people paying a fortune for it to begin with but especially when the deck itself is in my opinion kind of mid in terms of how much I like it right now.
So one day yes but that day will be far into the future in afraid.

ATLA tarot: Judgement
Tumblr media
I’ve been redrawing my ATLA tarot deck, and I’m really proud of the Judgement card, which is about spiritual awakening, transformation and absolution - so of course I’ve symbolized that as the Avatar State!

Hello there! The name is Artymess, sometimes Arty. I am a stay at home sensitive Cancer mother of 2 spicy fire signs, as well as married to a stubborn Scorpio. I am also 420 friendly.
I am nuerodivergent as well, so that adds a little extra flavor to my life. Between the ADHD, Executive Dysfunction, Anxiety and OCD - things are pretty eventful sometimes.
🃏 ⋆ 🌿 ⋆ 🍄 ⋆ 🌺 ⋆ 🌟⋆ 🌺 ⋆ 🍄 ⋆ 🌿 ⋆ 🃏
My main hobbies are:
A huge passion for reading, my TBR list is absurdly large but I can't seem to stop adding to it.
Anime! It's a part of my life blood at this point. Some of my tops are; Attack on Titan(Eren is bae idc), My Hero Academia, Fruits Basket, One Punch Man, ATLA, LoK, When They Cry, Arifureta, Bofuri, Black Clover, Bleach and Spy X Family.
Video games with my husband almost every day, some of our favorites include; Assassin's Creed(Black Flag, Origins & Odyssey) Stardew Valley, Deep Rock Galactic, Paladins and I personally love ESO.
Crochet is something I really find peace and enjoyment in. I was taught by a coworker one day almost 6 years ago now, took her 15 minutes to get show me the basic stitch and I had it down after that. Since then my yarn stash and pattern cache has grown immensely huge.
🃏 ⋆ 🌿 ⋆ 🍄 ⋆ 🌺 ⋆ 🌟⋆ 🌺 ⋆ 🍄 ⋆ 🌿 ⋆ 🃏
I am graciously blessed with two absolutely lovable black cat familiars to traverse this journey with me and they are a huge part of me both in and out of my practice.
I found my witch path, Eclectic, during my Saturn Return and never looked back. One of the first things I dove into and learned about was the divination art of Tarot and Oracle cards. I quickly fell in love, with the shuffling, with the feel of a deck in my head, with the wisdom that flew around when I channeled the cards - I fell in love with all of it. I have also found the comfort of working with Freya the Norse Goddess as well as Hestia the Greek Goddess.
As far as my practice goes, I've dabbled in a lot trying to find what fits best.
🃏 ⋆ 🌿 ⋆ 🍄 ⋆ 🌺 ⋆ 🌟⋆ 🌺 ⋆ 🍄 ⋆ 🌿 ⋆ 🃏
Things I include in my practice:
Tarot & Oracle
Pendulum
Animist Magic
Deity Work
Green Witchcraft
Astrology
Numerology
Spells & Incantations
Enchantments & Charms
Protection Magic
Crystals
Candle Magic
Incense Cleansing
Some fun things I've done during my practice so far have been:
Gotten really into plants, in fact my spider plant has had so many babies I'm getting overrun.
Crocheted a blanket for a friend and embedded a rune of prosperity onto it, as they were moving to a new state. (So far they've done really well & they moved to a much more expensive state.)
Made a travel protection jar for my FIL who travels to visit us every few months.
Helped a friend figure out a patron deity, twice, that was seeking to work with them, they still work with one of them today.

What My Tarot Deck Says About My Blorbo?
🖤 Qrow Branwen 🖤
Tumblr media
...
1st Card: Six of Cups (Reversed)
Tumblr media
The 6 of Cups is a card about wallowing in the past, and when it's reversed those memories usually aren't pleasant ones. Look at how the child on the card is alone- just like Qrow, who was called a curse and ostracized because of his semblance. Even if his semblance wasn't so terrible, Qrow could never have a real childhood because he was raised in the Branwen Tribe, where he was forced to grow up fast or die. In a more literal sense, these cups could represent how Qrow copes with his own turmoil by drowning his feelings in alcohol. Looking more outwardly, perhaps this card represents how Qrow wanted to provide a good childhood for Ruby & Yang. He felt guilty for being unable to stop Summer's death, so he resolved to help Tai by training the girls in the art of combat. To give them the childhood he never had.
2nd Card: Six of Swords (Reversed)
Tumblr media
Upright, the 6 of Swords is a card about moving on and realizing the need to let go, but reversed it can be a sign of being stuck. For his whole life, Qrow believed in Ozpin and loyally followed through on his mission. But after learning the truth about Salem, his whole reason for living was pulled out from under him. It caused him to fall into a despair of realizing that there was no winning, nowhere to hide, and no reason to keep going on. Swords is the suit of the mind, so this card could represent how Qrow is stuck in a place of mental anguish. Note the woman's dark attire and veil, which hint at mourning. Qrow is haunted by the memory of the things he did when he was a ruthless Branwen, and haunted by the people who had to be sacrificed for Ozpin's greater good. The swords keep the boat seaworthy, but when flipped upside-down, they fall out and the water comes in. Thus the mind is overcome by emotions.
Conclusion:
In the Tarot, the Fives are usually cards of conflict and turmoil, and the Sixes are the cards of recovering from that turmoil. Because both of these Sixes are reversed, it hints at the fact that Qrow still hasn't recovered from his mental and emotional traumas. He tries to stay cool, but all of his choices are still guided by fear. Qrow had started on the right path when he began to believe in Ruby and gave up drinking in Atlas, but with everything that happened with Salem's attack, Ironwood's betrayal, and Clover's death... Qrow's once again trapped in despair.
...
Bonus:
The stone from my collection that makes me think of Qrow most is--
Tumblr media
--this Smoky Quartz!
...

Got a new tarot deck a while back, this time it's ATLA themed! It's just called The ATLA Tarot by Yappangiearts, but it's sadly out of print. That said, I know of a shop with one copy left for like 95 bucks so if you're interested lmk and I'll send you in the right direction! If you're not willing to pay that much but still want an ATLA deck, then there's several other decks out there for less money that I can point you to as well, so check out this post! Anyways, I wanted to gush about some of my favorite cards because this is literally my FAVE ATLA themed deck out of them all and I love almost every single card choice. I'm also limiting myself to two Major Arcana and two Minor Arcana so I don't ramble on about the whole deck lmao.
Tumblr media
The first one is what really spurred me to buy the deck so I'm gonna talk about it the most, and it's a card featuring my least fave character - Ozai as The Devil! Ozai stands in for the devil, and chained in fire and combat are his two children Zuko and Azula, standing in for the enslaved people typically shown at the devil's feet. This card to me usually represents addiction, vice, and obsession, though with this card I'm inclined to take it a little deeper bc of the genius decision to include his kids. His kids have been raised to compete for his affection (you could almost say they're obsessed with one-upping each other), affection that always came at the price of their relationship with their sibling. With every instance of pitting them against each other, he drove another wedge between the two of them. That's cyclical to me and adds a layer of unhealthy family relationships to this card, and I hate Ozai so much but goddamn do I love this card choice!
Tumblr media
The next card I wanna talk about is Zuko as The Hanged Man. In the Major Arcana it's number 12, right before Death at number 13. If Death represents change, then The Hanged Man can represent the discomfort that pushes us to take that final leap. The Hanged Man to me represents the ultimate card of liminality, of being stuck between the upright, logical world and the upside down, illogical world. It also can mean you feel stuck, it can be a symbol of surrendering to fate, and it can even mean enlightenment of some sort at the cost of some type of discomfort. Zuko is DEEPLY conflicted and stuck between two worlds for a majority of the show, so I think he's a wonderful choice for this card!
Tumblr media
Onto the minors! The Two of Swords again features Zuko, though this time it's his Blue Spirit mask. It typically features a blindfolded figure holding two swords, and the Blue Spirit is a PERFECT stand in for this, both visually and symbolically! The mask stands in for the blindfold, protecting Zuko's identity rather than allowing for unbiased judgement in a difficult decision, though both cut the wearer off from the outside world. This card can mean that one is at a crossroads and needs to make a difficult decision. Imho, the Blue Spirit's introduction is also the first step Zuko takes towards redemption. Yes he does the right thing for the wrong reason, but he still commits a good act, if a primarily selfish one. So, portraying this scene as the Two of Swords is brilliant I think bc it is undoubtedly a difficult decision that Zuko makes in rescuing Aang!
Tumblr media
Finally, I wanna talk about the Six of Swords. Traditionally, this is portrayed as a woman and a child being ferried across a river by a boatman, leaving the rough waters behind. It can symbolize journeys in general, whether literal, metaphorical, or both. In the ATLA tarot, instead we see Iroh and Zuko's topknot and ponytail floating by in a stream. I love this, because it keeps the parent-and-child motif, but represents very well the decision the two have just made to both sever themselves from their pasts and move on to wherever the road takes them in their flight from Azula.
In conclusion: I fucking ADORE this deck!!
