SunshineMoon Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I loved the comments on the thread I posted about Temperance. So, I would love to know, what is your favorite individual card (if from a specific deck, please share that as well). Why do you love this card? What speaks to you about the card? What experiences do you have with the card? What does this card mean to you? I can't wait to see what you all have to share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TekkieTarot Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 One of my favorite cards is the queen of wands. Especially from the Everyday Witch Tarot. She embodies a beauty queen on that card and I just love how she’s sitting on the dragon with the flowers. Also when I first started practicing tarot my cards kept giving me the queen of wands when I did readings for myself. So the queen of wands is now my signifier. Even though I’m not a social butterfly and the life of the party I am friendly, inviting, warm and welcoming. People gravitate to me easily. Which is something the Queen of wands can do, draw people to her without even trying. Also the Queen of wands has a lot of charm and charisma. However though when I get that card for men a lot of time it represent a woman a guy will sleep with but not commit too. Also when it comes to looks the queen of wands in my experience is an attractive person. They may not be supermodel pretty but they are nice to look at. Also the Queen of wands can be kinda dramatic and mean in her shadow side and she will definitely claw you. She definitely have a fiery fierce side to her but overall I love the Queen of wands my favorite card for sure. attached is the everyday witch tarot card.

SunshineMoon Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 @TekkieTarot This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. The black cat on the card wins me over, does it have a symbolic meaning? I really do love this card and the way that you shared the meaning and your story. I am going to look up this deck!

Esclarmonde Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I don't have an absolute favourite, but I particularly like the Hermit card from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot. There's something calm and wise about that face and I really like the way the landscape is integrated into the image. And the glowing crystal (rather than the lantern, which I also like). The card seems to say "the road might be tough and who knows where it'll lead you, but the light of wisdom will guide you". I have some hermit-like tendencies myself 🙂: I like being alone and don't enjoy large social gatherings too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradGad Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 In RWS, I think it has to be 6 of Cups. It's just so sweet. Plus there's so much to notice! In a lousy printing, like the normal yellow-box Rider Waite... look at her hair... the first time I saw it, I thought her gold hair was the face, looking way... like one of those rabbit-going-forwards-or-duck-backing-up optical illusion illistrations... maybe she's coyly looking away from him. She has mittens; he doesn't: Maybe he's ready to touch, but she isn't? Look at the card... esp. on a low-res version... Is he really looking at her? Maybe he's just smelling the lovely flower, while she looks up adoringly. Maybe she's all about him, but he is oblivious to her. That guard with the spear, walking away... I love that. They are in a protected space, a courtyard probably, guarded by a guard. But the guard is walking away, and not looking at them, so they are in a guarded space, but sharing an unguarded moment... both literally and figuratively. A special moment. Plus there are flowers. Flowers are nice. When I was drawing RWS, I kept getting 5 of Pentacles... lepers struggling through snow... Flowers are way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TanjaTheWitch Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 10 cups. I know, I know, boring. But with two small children in the house, one can't expect to have other ideals 😄 I also like 8 pentacles - his focus on work and making something beautiful is astonishing to me. Both RW.

BradGad Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) The Moon, because of mystery and danger, and the unconscious. I'm down with all that. The Empress, because I know she is my friend and helpmeet, and even though a major arcana, she embraces me. Edited February 23 by BradGad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradGad Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I mostly go to TdM decks... In RWS, I just love the 6 of Cups. So simple and sweet, but also so potentially complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
