Reverse Tarot Challenge

I cannot tell you how excited I am for this challenge!   I think it is a brilliant and imaginative way to think about the cards.  My goal during the month of May is to post a card from 1-3 decks each day to my IG.  What will happen here is more in-depth reasoning as to why I picked the cards.  I have decided that I will do weekly round-up of my favorite cards of the week.  (I am really bad with daily blogs)

 

The PLAN:

Each Day on IG I will post a card from my everyday deck, Legends of King Arthur.  I will also try to pick a card from one or two of my other decks ie Shadowscape (this may be a good way to start learning this), Celtic Dragon, Runic, and the Rider-Waite.  I would like to point out that I read more intuitively so the "standard meaning" of the card may not match the theme of the day but I will try to make sure those cards are explained in the weekly blog.


Day 1 Looking Beyond the Obvious

As soon as I saw this prompt I knew exactly what card I wanted to use from the Arthurian Deck.  No doubt for me it is the Nine of Shields Ragnell.

As Gawain gazed into the fire, the Loathly Lady shed her skin and emerged as the comely Ragnell. (from the booklet)

I love this card's story.  It is all about looking beyond, being kind, and not judging.  This is also about making sacrifices for the greater good.  Depending on the surrounding cards I will read it either as look at your negative thing in a new light or "suck it up buttercup" and you will be rewarded.


I decided to go through the Shadowscape deck looking for a card that embodied the teme.  As I said I am starting to read more intuitively so I am looking a the booklet at all for this deck yet.  The 7 of cups just seemed to fit the bill.  I am loving the muse pointing out what is beyond, showing the man what can be,
