I know it's been forever since I updated my Miraculous tarot deck. I've just been so busy writing fics instead! Then I saw the S5 finale and I decided to replace one of the cards I'd already done. So, this is Reality, which is a replacement for The World. An explanation is below the image. It turns into a bit of an analysis of 'Re-Creation'.

My previous image for The World was Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Cat Noir, i.e. their dual images. Then I got stuck because actually, that image would be perfect for the 2 of Yo-Yos...but I want to update it because I can draw better now, so that's on its way.

So, why did I go with Gimmi / Reality for this card?

The World is the end of the Major Arcana, or the archetypal cards at the head of the deck. Therefore, it speaks of fulfilment, completion, harmony, and the end of a certain cycle or phase of life. One journey has ended and a new one begins. From this point, we return to The Fool and start the sequence all over again.

The traditional Rider-Waite-Smith image shows a dancing figure, showing that fulfilment is ever-changing and dynamic. He/she is surrounded by a wreath of success / the achievement of a goal. This circle shows the cyclical nature of life. To quote an old Smashing Pumpkins song, the end is the beginning is the end….

In the corners are four figures who also appear in The Wheel of Fortune, symbolising the elements in harmony.

The central figure has one leg up in the air, reminding me of Lord Shiva in ancient Indian stories. Also referred to as the Lord of Dance (not to be confused with the Lord of the Dance, i.e. Michael Flatley), Shiva is a classic symbol of balance, walking the two paths between spiritual life and material life / desires. I thought of him the instant I saw Gimmi in 'Re-Creation', which I'll discuss that below. (I mean, look at all those arms...but even besides that....)

Ancient Indian traditions have this idea of different yugas, or eras. There are four of them, each one shorter than the last. When all four come to an end, Shiva does a special dance so powerful that it shatters the material universe...clearing a path for the universe to be created anew and the whole cycle to begin again. This process goes on eternally.

(Incidentally, we are currently said to be living through the last yuga in the cycle, the Kali yuga, when people are at their weakest and live shorter lives. But don't worry - there are about 427,000 years left of this yuga.)

Many traditions say Brahma is the creator god, after Shiva cleans the slate. Others, though, give Shiva the role of creator, too - specifically describing him as destroying in order to create again.

Hence in 'Deflagration' Plagg reminds Tikki that 'you and I are one', and in 'Re-Creation', when we see Plagg and Tikki in their ultimate forms, they make similar statements. Gimmi is not one or the other - Gimmi is their unified state. Reality = the constant ebb and flow of life and death, creation and destruction...like when Gabriel makes his wish and reality is collapsed and recreated. His wish is Shiva's dance. Constance is an illusion.

I think it's really interesting how when Gabriel 'dies', we never actually see a body. 'That's just because it's a children's show!' Yeah, maybe...but it's a children's show full of esoteric imagery, too. When Gabriel 'dies' he simply floats up and becomes a bunch of glowing light, returning to the energetic source of everything. Even basic physics tells us that energy never goes away. It simply...transforms. In a weird way...Gabriel's still floating around in some form, in the end. (Now there's a creepy thought.)

By the way, if you've noticed the placement of the Gabriel figure on my card...yeah. I didn't choose that. My reference image was a screenshot from 'Re-Creation'. I'm certain Gabriel's positioning was on purpose, to illustrate that is he but one humble emanation of the Creatrix (a feminine source of life - and with all that pink, I'm sure Gimmi is meant to be something like this, too).

And can I just note that I love the way Gimmi's head is surrounded by the atomic model. You may have gathered from other posts that I was less than satisfied with that S5 finale...but everything about Plagg, Tikki and Gimmi was fantastic.

Tarot Articles-Double Your Tarot, Double Your Fun

by Christopher Penczak | Aug 1, 2013

(Originally appearing in THiNK! Magazine.)

Ever have those difficult Tarot card readings? You aren’t having an off night, at least not psychically, but you are having difficulty getting it across to your client. Some people refuse to see things without their rose coloured glasses. If you completely sugar coat it, are you really doing a service? No, I don’t think so. But if you tell it like it obviously is, the seeker gets upset with you because of issues they haven’t dealt with. What’s a self respecting Tarot card reader to do? Double your decks, that’s what.

You heard me. Start using two decks instead of one. I got this great technique from an online pagan friend who made the suggestion. By using two Tarot decks, you glean more information than you normally would. Use one deck as usual, to determine the events in the seeker’s life and what energies and situations are affecting her. The second deck determines the seeker’s outlook on these situations. The outlook could be much different from the reality. Knowing the client’s perception gives you a good reference point to explain the situation better and be an asset in making life changes rather than another person causing trouble. People seeking Tarot readings often have enough trauma in their lives. I know I do when I seek out a psychic.

I use the Thoth deck, with the oversized cards, and the size does matter. This is my main deck and was the one I started using. The smaller deck, in my case the Rider-Waite-Smith is put over the larger cards. It can make reading much easier if you can see a bit of both cards at once. I ignore the traditional rule of not touching the cards once they are down. I pick them up and point things out to my clients. If size doesn’t matter to you, then use the most comfortable decks for you.

I would suggest using two different decks. First it’s easier to mix up the batches if they are the same. If you dedicate one deck to the actual situation and the other deck to the perceptions of the seeker and the deck’s get mixed up, you may have some problems in your cards. Besides, it can be a fun challenge to learn a new deck. Even though each card has meanings going across the different decks, each has it’s own style. The style and character of the deck can change your opinion about a card. In the Thoth deck, I see the Devil as more benevolent, the good god giving advice or support. A Pan-like goat sits in the realm between worlds. In the Rider-Waite deck, the Devil card seems darker, implying some forced labour or subservience to another. A demon holds a man and woman in chains. Depending on which deck the Devil puts an appearance in will determine how I feel it applies to the reading. I believe in strongly following your first intuition rather than relying on the classical meaning of cards. Look to see what the cards, new and old, are telling you.

Now explain to your clients how the two decks work. Most are very open and intrigued by the idea, since not many people read Tarot this way. Start by explaining the card dealing with their perceptions. Often the seeker will identify strongly with it, so you have a greater confidence in the accuracy of the reading. Often the underlying card will be of a similar nature, indicating the seeker sees the situation clearly. Suppose you had the Sun card over the two of cups in a present or future position, they would be in agreement. Both can represent a strong relationship, love and happiness in your life. But if you had the Sun over the Seven of Cups, you have a new story. The seeker probably thinks they are in happiness, or starting a good relationship, but there is something hidden. They are not thinking straight. Thoughts are muddled. Perception is clouded, perhaps by a substance. The new lover may not be as he appears, but the seeker is either in denial or deceived. Either way it’s trouble to tell someone they are muddled when they don’t think they are. Starting from their perceptions gives you a good launch pad for discussion and may cushion the blow. If someone is coming to a reader, they are looking for answers. When told in a comforting and supportive way, they are usually receptive to the truth once the initial shock and denial is over.

Using two Tarot decks can be more difficult and time consuming, but I think it’s well worth it. If this is your craft, expand your horizons and break new ground. If you can communicate your second sight to the seeker in a gentle and more accurate way, then do so. It makes it easier for everybody. The double deck technique has helped me greatly in my own practice and greatly improved my own understanding of the Tarot.
