The Fool

The fool is often pictured in peasant clothing carrying a pack tied to a staff. Sometimes there is a small dog or a cliff. The story goes that with all of his possessions in his small pack, he travels with no real destination. The fool has questions and wants to know what's out there as his head is filled with curiosity and excitement for adventure. He's so wrapped up in this feeling that he doesn't notice the chasm in front of him. The small dog tries to warn him but what isn't known is if the fool listens or continues to blunder blindly forward.

With the fool being card 0 of 21 of the major arcana, it's known to be a card of endless possibilities. The pack that he carries symbolizes that he carries all he needs to complete his journey if only he opens the sack and makes use of what's inside. The fool is on his way to a new beginning. Originality and eccentricity also come to mind.

This card can also carry a warning of sorts. While it's good to enjoy all that's around you, you still need to be careful of how and where you step.

When in the upright position, the fool can symbolize beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, and freedom.

When reversed, it can symbolize holding back, recklessness, and risk taking.

Six of Swords: Willow and Amity Begin Reconciling

Upright: Departure, transition, moving on, leaving behind, distance, accepting change, releasing baggage

Reversed: Unfinished business, unresolved tension, trapped, resistance to change, stuck in the past, avoidance

The Six of Swords represents a moment of transition, a movement from one stage of life to the next. The Swords suit deals with matters of the mind, which include one's thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and memory, as well as conflict and communication. The Six of Swords poses the question: what thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs do you want to carry into the future? How will you let your experiences, good or bad, inform the way you live your life going forward?

Amity and Willow certainly have unaddressed baggage at the beginning of Understanding Willow, and both are actively avoiding addressing it: Willow by putting the photo-memories of Amity "out of sight, out of mind," and Amity a bit more drastically by burning herself out of the memories altogether. This of course backfires on her, as the fire spreads to Willow's other memory-photos and damages Willow's actual memory in the process. This serves as a wake-up call for Amity as well as a microcosm of the state of their relationship: she has caused Willow harm, and must address it or lose Willow forever.

Going into Willow's mind and repairing their happy childhood memories reminds Amity what it's like to have a real friend, and having to confront the manifestation of Willow's rage and hurt makes her reconsider her priorities. She isn't fully ready to forsake her parents, nor does she fully cut ties with her friend group, but she apologizes to Willow, promises to treat her better, and swears to protect her from her friends' cruelty.

Willow and Amity both discover that while they can't quite go back to the way things used to be between them, they can't simply bury their past friendship and pretend it didn't exist, either. While damaging Willow's memory was dangerous and irresponsible of Amity, it gave them the opportunity to communicate with each other and decide whether and how to move forward. In the end, Willow decides that she wants to carry her memories of Amity with her into the future, so they have a chance to create new ones together.

The World

A secret santa gift I made for the lovely, wonderful @liesmyth ! So excited to get to finally share it!!! :D

(Tarot meanings for the World card and some extra ramblings beneath the cut for those who are interested)

The World

Upright: Success, achievement, accomplishment, travel, completion, fulfilment, sense of belonging, wholeness

Reversed: Shortcuts, delays, seeking closure, incompletion, emptiness

"To encounter the World in your cards is to encounter a great unity and wholeness. It symbolizes the moment when the inner and the outer worlds - self and other - become a single entity. In some traditions, this state is described as enlightenment, or nirvana. There is a recognition that the individual self is profoundly linked with all other things, and that we all dance and sway along the flow of life to one rhythm. Not only do you hear this rhythm, but you participate in it - following the dips and the rises, the joys and the sorrows.

The meaning of the World card is fulfillment, achievement, and completion. This shows that all the efforts that you have been putting in place are starting to pay off. It reflects that you have completed a major milestone in your life and you have built the resilience to withstand challenges. The World may indicate completion of a long-term project, study or any other major event in your life. It may also mean the birth of a child, marriage, graduation or any other thing that you have accomplished.

The World card shows that you have a desire to give back to the community in various ways. You have a commitment to make the world a better place because you understand that everything is connected."

- Labyrinthos, The World

Ok and now for my unhinged rambling about Jamie motherfucking Tartt. Ahem.

Like. GUYS HES LITERALLY THIS CARD IN HIS S3 ERA AND IM NOT KIDDING. he’s the central cog!!! He’s the fulcrum of the triangle!! He’s total football! He’s the world’s most specialest puppydog-coded central attacking midfielder!! He’s the conductor, the playmaker, the literal heart and soul of AFC Richmond’s whole tactic!!!!! He means soooo fucking much to me you don’t even understand.

Yes I did take the bisexual Fibonacci spiral from Sunflowers and make it a key part of this card. If the universe didn’t want me to do that then it would have killed Jason Sudeikis before he could make that scene because my molecules have been forever altered.

(ps: ahem. stay tuned for some more AFC Richmond tarot! I’ve got a Roy in the works and plans for the rest of the main cast, though idk how far I’d follow it through. you could follow me and see what happens if you want 👉👈)

Your little secret is about to be exposed today with a lot of celebratory noise. Basking in the glow of your accomplishments may not be your cup of tea today especially since all the hoo-ha has not really acknowledged all the collaboration and teamwork that went into bringing your project to life.

[thebonedead]

the judgement card to me feels like waking up with a jolt realizing you remember exactly where you misplaced something all those months ago. it's awakening to a knowing that was deep inside of you, yet still feels as though it's knowledge that's been bestowed upon you by some greater force. it's a sense of coming to. a dawning realization. messages heard from beyond that push you in a new, but better, direction. maybe this knowledge was within you the whole time, but there's something out there that decided it was time for it to come to light.

Behold: a dirty thief. As much as I’d love to slander him in art form he does get to be a special boy by being actually the only card with a representation for all the eggies. You’re babysitter privileges have saved you this time Bad but your clowning days are numbered (I say to the dead man)

Who really knows, maybe even farther down the line Geo may also follow his father's footsteps. But until then, boy what happened? Alas, it's a super secret future that we're not allowed to see.

“i am anti-life, the dark at the end of everything…

for a tarot card collab on instagram !! truly , i think this is one of my best pieces; certainly there are some places that need work , but i think the rough lighting sort of compliments it , a wonderful piece in my humble opinion.

also it’s lucifer morningstar of course it’s beautiful , it’s because they make it beautiful.

[dailydivination365]

Your mind is focused on love. It could be a relationship you're already in or one you're longing for.

In either case, there's some kind of pain or heartbreak surrounding you. You may have just broken up with your partner, or you're suffering from loneliness. Regardless, you're struggling to accept what's in front of you.

It looks like dishonesty and unjust treatment are the focal points. You've been dishonest with your partner, and it backfired, or vice versa. For those who are single, it may be a thought that life is unfair. Fortunately, it's just a state of mind.

There's a positive resolution regardless of your circumstances. Either a journey is reaching an end, and you can finally move on, or your proposals for forgiveness or a new love will be successful, and you can finally attain the love you desire.
