When we think about deity or spiritual communication, many people's first thought is tarot. And while there are a plethora of ways to communicate with entities without it, tarot remains one of the most popular.
This guide will be separated into 3 core sections; The makeup of tarot decks, the meanings of the suits, and how to read the cards. This will be long but I'll try to break everything down as digestible as possible.
Tumblr media
๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ. ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ƒ๐ž๐œ๐ค๐ฌ
๐“๐š๐ซ๐จ๐ญ?
Tarot is well known as a great starting point for entity communication, and easily accessible. There are millions of different styles of decks, but throughout all of them the meanings stay essentially the same. This means you can essentially use the same guidebook/guide for almost every deck. Some decks do have specialized cards that they add to their major arcana, or some will rename suits (the suit of pentacles may be called the suit of coins or the air of cups may be called chalices, etc). But for the most part, things are fairly similar.
Tumblr media
๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐๐ฌ
๐“๐ก๐ž ๐…๐จ๐จ๐ฅ'๐ฌ ๐‰๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ฒ
A tarot deck will typically have 78 cards, with 2 types. The Major Arcana, and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana is made up of 22 cards, numbered 0-21 starting with The Fool. These 22 cards can be considered the most important cards in the deck, even if they're not drawn during your readings.
The cards detail a story, aptly named The Fool's Journey, which paints the picture of a fool (0) on a journey enduring trials and life lessons until he rejoins The World (21) with newfound knowledge and understanding of themself.
The Fool's Journey represents us, the holders, and our journey through life and drawing a Major card during readings are typically important and indicative of a pivotal moment in the reading. Readings can actually be conducted entirely with just the Major Arcana because of how significant they are.
๐“๐ก๐ž ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐จ๐ซ ๐€๐ซ๐œ๐š๐ง๐š
The Minor Arcana make up the bulk of a tarot deck, with 56 cards divided into 4 suits. Swords, Wands, Cups, and Pentacles. Despite the suit names, each suit is made up of 14 named cards. 1-10, the page, the knight, the king, and the queen. This is the standard for each suit.
If the Major Arcana is the Fool's journey, then the Minor Arcana are the details of that journey. Each suit represents a different aspect of a person's life. It can also be representative of the 4 core elements, involve numerology, and align with astrology, however for this guide we'll stick with the meanings of the cards themselves and how to read them.
Tumblr media
๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ. ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐Œ๐ž๐š๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ
I won't go over the meanings of all 78 cards simply because this post would be egregiously long, however I will go over the meanings of the Minor Arcana suits.
โ˜† Pentacles Sensation and the Material
This suit deals with the material world, both internally and externally. This includes finances, stability, and health.
โ˜† Swords Thinking and Truth
This suit deals with logic and ambition, as well as shedding light on situations for conflict and communication.
โ˜† Cups Feeling and the Unconscious
This suit represents your emotions and relationships, as well as peeks into your Intuition.
โ˜† Wands Intuition and Will
This suit represents your drive and passion, as well as your internal introspection.
Tumblr media
๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‘. ๐‘๐ž๐š๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐๐ฌ
So you know the makings of your deck, and you know their meanings. But how do you read the cards? I'll ask some questions to my own deck, draw cards, and discuss how I decipher them!
๐Ÿ ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐
"What is an emotion I should be aware of today?" This is the question I've decided to ask for this example! When suckling the cards, I keep this question in mind, but also like to clarify my meaning. "What emotion should I be conscious of today, positive or negative? What do I need to become aware of?" These kinds of questions while shuffling can help get a bit more of an accurate read on your original question. The card I drew for this was:
The Nine of Wands reversed
This card represents exhaustion and emotional burnout. This is a very clear sign that I need to take a moment to relax, and not force myself to do everything all at once, lest I burn myself out and kill my passion. This resonates because it's what's kept me from posting as often as I'd like. Now that I've recuperated though, my cards want me to remember not to reach that point again. To take breaks.
๐Ÿ‘ ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐๐ฌ
As I write this, I've done my "daily reading." This is a simple 3 card reading I try to do every morning just to get a feel of my day and the mindset I should try to keep throughout it. The cards I drew were:
The King of Pentacles
The Emperor
The Ace of Cups
Lucky for this example, we've got a Major card! So how do we read this?
Well the King of Pentacles represents abundance, while also representing accountability. This tells me that I need to be aware of my resources, and treat them with care. The King of Pentacles represents a sort of provider, and as a provider it's important to be responsible with the assets you have and provide for others.
Next we see The Emperor. This is another card that represents an authority figure and responsibility. So we see a recurring theme between these two cards already. The Emperor represents a firm hand and the creator of structure.
Finally we see the Ace of Cups. This card represents something completely different than the other 2 cards; instead focusing on the emotional path of life and the joys that come with it. The cards can also represent the start of a new beginning.
It can be confusing to decipher the meanings of these cards when reading just the meanings, so this is where we start to look at the core of these cards, and apply them to our original question/intent.
The King of Pentacles
Responsibility and abundance
The Emperor
Responsibility and authority
The Ace of Cups
The joys of a new beginning and emotional fulfillment
When we look at my original sentiment "how will my day go today?" we can see that it speaks of being responsible, especially as someone considered an authority figure (i.e. the owner of my discord server or even a blog many people come to for guidance and help). Lately I've noticed I haven't been wholly responsible and it's led me to neglecting this blog in a way I don't enjoy and procrastinating a lot of work on my server. The cards are telling me to take responsibility for the communities I've cultivated. But the Ace of Cups tells me this reading isn't a condemnation, but rather, the start of an exciting new beginning. That is time to shed my old insecurities and fears and to start anew!
Tumblr media
๐Œ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐Œ๐ž๐š๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‘๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
Sometimes your readings will have multiple meanings, and it will be up to you to decipher which meaning is relevant to what you asked, or if all of them should be headed.
We'll use my 3 card reading as an example.
While this reading represents my need to take responsibility, it can take on other meanings as well. One meaning can be about the relationships I currently have, as the Ace of Cups can also represent the start of a new love. This can change the meaning of me being the responsible party, and instead represent my newfound partner, who is a very large figure of authority.
It can also represent my father, who loves me dearly but is incredibly stern with me.
It's important to see which meaning resonates with you most. For me, the third message doesn't resonate very well, so I won't consider it the intended message. The first two meanings however resonate deeply, and while the first one is much more in depth, I can pull clarifying cards for the second.
๐‚๐ฅ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐๐ฌ
Clarifying cards are simply additional cards you draw to clarify your main reading. Sometimes things will seem a bit confusing, or you'll need some extra information. Clarifying cards are used exactly for that. We'll continue off of my previous example in terms of my reading representing my partner, and see what additional information we can gather. Once again, I speak my intentions into my shuffling. "Can I please have some clarification on the meaning of that reading in terms of me and X? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated." The cards I drew was yet another Major Arcana:
The Chariot reversed
This card speaks about a lack of control and direction. This card once again resonates, as for the past week or so I've been incredibly insecure and spiraling over the specifics of this relationship and the aspects of it I can't control. This card reminds me to understand that I can't control every situation and narrative, and part of life is the unknown and the scary.
With this, we've gotten 3 meanings of one reading, 2 of which resonated, and managed to break them down effectively!
Tarot is much easier than you may think, especially when getting down the basics! You don't need to memorize every card right off the bat, using your guidebook or an online guide works perfectly fine. After a while, you'll naturally start to recognize the meanings of each card.
I hope this has helped you understand tarot a little better! Feel free to ask me any questions at all, and safe travels โ™ก

Deity Worship Tarot Spread !
Tumblr media
Hi all! This a tarot spread I recently designed to connect more to my deities! This guide is designed for those who have already identified the deity/deities theyโ€™re working with but are a little lost regarding their personal interpretation of the deity or how they wish to worship them. This spread is designed to be used with one god or spirit at a time. If you wish to use less cards, feel free to remove cards 3 and 6 for a six card reading.
Card 1: What area of my life will you be present in?
Most gods have multiple domains that they rule over. Will Apollo help you with arts or healing? Will Diana help you with empowerment or animal care?
Cards 2-4: What cards do you feel drawn to (connections to meanings or illustrations)?
How does your deity view themselves? How do they wish to present themselves to you? For example, thereโ€™s a difference between how the Romans and the Greeks perceived the same gods.
Cards 5-7: How can I best connect with you? What offerings/acts can I give/fulfil to strengthen our relationship or show my commitment?
Pretty self-explanatory here; youโ€™re asking what your deity asks of you. Sometimes they might say nothing and leave the decision to you, but other times, they may ask you to do something specific (maybe Proserpina might ask you to purchase a new house plant!).
Card 8: How do you personally feel about my want to work with you?
Just because you want to work with a deity, doesnโ€™t mean theyโ€™re always on board. Maybe theyโ€™re hesitant, maybe they think youโ€™re a bad match, or maybe theyโ€™re delighted! Itโ€™s important to establish a baseline. Your deity being unsure doesnโ€™t mean you have to abandon hopeโ€”all relationships take work.
Tumblr media
Hereโ€™s what my first time using the template looked like! I did a tarot reading with accompanying oils and crystals, praying and communicating with a particular deityโ€ฆ I wonder if you can guess who it was based on the cards? ๐Ÿ‘€

Hello everybody ๐ŸŒธ So, today's reading is how society sees you. This is an old pac
Disclaimer : All my readings are for entertainment purposes only and It is a general reading so it may or may not resonate with you.
Choose your pile intuitively :)
Tumblr media
Pile 1
Tumblr media
You definitely are the intellegent pile. So, much sword energy. Society sees you as someone calm and assertive. They see you are someone who takes decisions more from their head then heart. As someone who makes decisions after wearing all the pros and the cons. You don't like to take decisions in haste. People also see you as someone very logical and stick to the routine kind of person. They think that you dislike being unproductive and want to be engaged in some or the other activity all the time. As someone very disciplined. And you got three court cards so people form a very fixed image of you. It is like you never go unnoticed.
People see you as someone very ambitious and passionate. Maybe you are an extrovert or ambivert. But whatever it is you are very social. And it is like people see you as someone who spreads happiness and joy to everyone. You guys know your self worth and you won't let anybody walk over you. People think that you will achieve great things in your life.
You are someone who will never leave and opportunity be it anything and you make difficult choices look easy. You are someone who is very fair and brave. Could be a little rebellious. People think that you have natural leader qualities.
Possible signs in your chart could be : Gemini ; Leo ; Taurus ; Virgo ; Capricorn ; Libra ; Aquarius
Tumblr media
Pile 2
Tumblr media
Pile no. 2 people see you as someone calm and lazy. Like go with the flow kind of person. You might have huge friend circle because you can talk with really anyone and that doesn't goes unnoticed. People think that it is really hard to get under your skin because even when you are getting attack do you keep your composure and try to arrive at a solution which is agreeable to everyone. You people might daydream a lot and also your me time is really very important to you and people do notice that.
People also see you as someone very confident and determined to do their task. They think that you can do anything and fight tirelessly to achieve your goals and defend your loved ones. You really give out positive Vibes to everyone and that is what makes people stick with you. You also help others in becoming their best selves.
People see you as someone very spontaneous , skilful and creative. They think that you are a quick learner and you understand things quite quickly. But people also think that you could be really indecisive leading you to take hasty decisions. Someone with poor concentration and scattered ideas. Although people think that you are good at starting conversations but your conversations don't hold a depth. And they end as soon as they start.
Possible signs in your chart could be : Libra ; Aquarius ; Gemini ; Aries ; Leo ; Sagittarius ; Virgo.
Tumblr media
Pile 3
Tumblr media
People see you a someone who is very sophisticated and secure. And also someone who is very very wealthy and whatever you touch turns into gold. You are someone who is very reliable and you believe in giving and giving and giving so people see you are as someone very generous and caring. You are someone stable and likely to be successful in your life.
All the people also see you as someone who wants to win at any and every cost and some of them even think that because you will literally everywhere so you might use unfair means. You people don't like competition. And people think that your ideology is like you will have to defeat other people otherwise they will defeat you. You could be narcissistic.
You are someone who looks at the bigger picture and you like to the involved in charity and voluntary work. You understand the life and its driving forces.
Possible signs in your chart could be : Virgo ; Taurus ; Capricorn ; Gemini ; Libra ; Aquarius
Tumblr media
Pile 4
Tumblr media
People think you are someone who takes decisions more from your heart than your head. You are someone who is passionate about things you do and also sensual. But you could be prone to rash decisions and easily get tempted. Even with the things which are not your priorities right now.
People see you as someone independent and confident and you hold a air of dignity around you. You are someone who take special care of your self and like to spend time outdoors. Sometimes alone sometimes with your closed ones. You might or will be living a luxurious life but people also see your hard work and your effort which you have put into earning all of these luxuries.
You are someone who tends to overthink situations. Once the decision has been made you you overthink about it and you are like I should have taken the other option will this be the correct one for me and that thing about you doesn't goes unnoticed by the people around you. People also see you as someone who can sacrifice anything and everything for their love ones. And also that you are confident.
Possible signs in your chart could be : Gemini ; Virgo ; Taurus ; Capricorn ; Pisces

Tiny Tarot Guide <3 ~ Minor Arcana
In this post, i will break done the elements of the minor Arcana. i will go over the meaning and elements of each suit as well as the roles of the cards {ace, page, king, queen, ect.} Each suit will get its own post with more details on their cards.
it is always important to remember that tarot is about intuition and what you feel the cards are saying to you, this is is just the surface information of the cards, and it is up to you on how it is interpreted.
The Suit of Cups~~{ also called, chalices, goblets, vessels.} this suit is feminine and represented by water, and deals with emotion. It represents the fluidity of out hearts, of our feelings and emotions. how quickly calm waters can become raging tides.
The Suit of Pentacles~~{ also called, coins, disks, rings} this suit is feminine and represented by earth, the physical world. how we shape our worlds with the things that are tangible. This suit can also represent our ego, or self image.
The Suit of Swords~~{ also called, blades} this suit is masculine and represented by air, and our minds. Our thoughts our inelegance invisible to the eye but still there, and still capable of making an impact on the world around us. this suit can represent the fragile balance of our intelligence. and how it can be used for both good and bad.
The Suit of Wands~~{ also called, batons, clubs, staves.} this suit is masculine and represented by fire, our spiritual energy, our creativity and strengths. wild and unpredictable like fire, it can be helpful and inspirational, but also destructive and untamed. it reflects our drive, and will power.
Ace~~ These for cards are the base of each suit. to me, it feels as if they lay the foundations. they are the whole suit, but not at the same time. they represent beginnings, optimism, and success. they are the first chapter to a new period of your life. the seed are being planted, and what becomes of them is up to you.
Two~~ these cards are your pairings, balance, forks in the road. the two cards call you too consider both sides of something, or perhaps can signify the joining of two things. of course these decisions and joining's depend on the situation and which suit the two is from.
Three~~ these cards are about growth and creation. they can be a call to action, or a sign of change or a turning point. threes are your pivotal and important moments depending on there suit.
Four~~ the fours are your stability, your foundations. it is a number about balance, and commitment. these cards are your grounding cards, your dedication. its like, the a stable point, after the hard change of the threes.
Five~~ these cards are about making change happen, or change needing to happen. life jolts back into action with the fives, weather you want it to or not. they are unpredictable, sudden, flexible, adaptive. these changes can be positive or negative based on their suit and position.
Six~~ six brings reflection, and a journey. they represent unions and departures, depending on the context and positions. they bring back the balance after the sudden change made by five. balance doesn't last, though six is a sign that things will be stable for a moment.
Seven~~ change returns with seven, but this time it is about individuality. These cards tell us to take control of a situation. the sevens can be signs of progress, or signs of things holding you back. challenges and obstacles are represented by the sevens, but these things can be over come, and these cards are here to help.
Eight~~ eight is about each suits strengths and weaknesses, based on how the challenges brought by the sevens where handled. the eights are fast paced and a time to find your inner strengths. either you feel the positive changes propel life forward, or life has grabbed you by the tail and is dragging you along weather you want it to or not.
Nine~~ these cards are the final stages of action. they ask you to reflect on life and the things you have experienced. things begin to wind down and this period of your life or situation you have been in is closing, every thing you have worked for is in sight or you missed that opportunity and it is passing by. the consequences of your actions are now taking place.
Ten~~ its the end, but also the beginning, ten makes way for new beginnings, it completes a cycle. the tens signify that as one door closes another one opens, and now you can go into this new door with everything you learned from the previous. ten asks us to use everything we learned to make better choices in the future.
Page~~ these cards represent the young and care free or it could just be someone who is feeling youthful. these four cards deal with childhood issues, messages, dreams and hopes, and can represent your inner child. when upright the page is hopeful and full of vigor, reversed can lead to disappointment.
Knight~~ the knights represent the less mature people in your life. they are about taking action, being the best you can be depending on their suit and position. these cards have a mission, and they want to take charge, or they could represent a person in your life who is encouraging you, but on the flipside it could also be someone dragging you down.
Queen~~ Each queen represents an aspect of femininity. they represent the people who nurture you in life, this is usually women, but can be men. These can be you, or other women in your life. they are the movement, and emotion of their suits. the queens encourage you to be mature and self aware.
King~~ the kings are the providers in your life, the flipside to the queens. these are the people who bring stability, and strength. these cards guide you to direct your energy in the best way to achieve your goals, or guide us on how to control or maintain the things represented by their suit.

Entities & Tarot
Inspired by this post, but I wanted to share what I've gathered & I wanted to include more cards. This post will include at least one entity for EVERY tarot card. Criticism is NOT welcome as this post is based on me, my friends and people I look up to's personal experiences, however, suggestions are welcome.

Hiiii! I hope this is not too intrusive, but I was wondering if you could explain how you use your tarot to communicate, what tarot you use, and, if possible, where did you got it from? (If you don't want to answer publicly, you can dm me, but no worries if you don't want to answer at all >_<')
Have a nice day/night! And thank you for everything you do in this blog, you really are a big help and guide for most of us!
Khaire! Not intrusive at all! โ™ก
I typically use tarot in combination with lenormand and oracle cards! I typically ask my questions or my general intentions, and clarify them while I shuffle!
In terms of the deck I use for tarot, its the True Black Tarot deck here โ™ก Definitely a bit on the expensive side but absolutely worth it I think.
If you mean my oracle cards however (the deck I show on my blog), it's the Endless Oracle deck โ™ก
I hope this helps and I'm glad my blog helps so much!! Safe travels! โ™ก

Tarot Cheat Sheet - The Magician
As Above,
So Below
As Within,
So Without
Self control, moderation, technicality, expertise, dedication, finding the Goddess/ God within.ย 
You reap what you sow. Be mindful of what you put out there. You receive what you give.ย 
Infinity; cycles; change and conjuration. Powerful manifestation card.ย 
โ€œI AMโ€
If you look at the classic RW card, all four suits are present: there is a pentacle, a cup, a wand, and a sword. Be aware that the staff/wand upon the table is the very same stick carried by The Fool in card 0.ย 
There is a snake worn by The Magician as a belt around his waist. Ouroboros is the name of the snake who eats his own tail; an ancient myth popular in Egypt and Greece. Delve deeply into the Tarot and find symbolism from almost any culture or religion....
Roses and Lilies can symbolize many things, including love, devotion, purity, passion, desire...
The card is full of bright color: red and yellow. Red symbolizes passion, sexuality, anger, aggression, warmth, wrath, or even danger. Yellow can stand for friendship, happiness, gold (wealth/success), and control.ย 
At worst this card is calling you out for your negligence. Your karmic debt is due, and you are actively weaving a web of either success or youโ€™ve been tangled up and strangled by the bullshit youโ€™ve been peddling.ย  TAKE HEED of your actions and mindset before you fuck up big time.ย 
Moral failures could cost you everything. Take the high road.ย 
Remember, this is a basic overview of this card to help you further understand the depth of symbolism within it. You may see something completely different, which sparks your intuition. Trust that feeling. Tarot is a tool to help you hone your intuition.ย 
The Magician statesย โ€œYou already have the magic inside you. Go forth and create your reality.โ€ย

Progress was a lot slower than I hoped thanks to a Very Infuriating shoulder injury, but it's finally almost here! My Adventure Time tarot Companion Guide is arriving from the printers on the 17th December!
Since time is running out before the holidays, I thought I'd open a pre-order. Of course all pre-orders will be shipped out as soon as the books arrive from the printers, on the 17th December 2024.
The books are sized A6 and are 172 pages long. They're fully illustrated on every page, and include the meanings for every card, as well as the stories behind their designs, and comparison to the classic Rider-Waite designs they are based on.
It is printed in the UK on recycled silk-feel paper.
All pre-orders come with a free glossy art print of a card design!
