JohnLetter Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Just wondered. Can be 5 of wands about making thinks together/build something? If you check out at this card, it seems like they are working on something and they are looking at their wands like with admiration and astonishment and not who is next to them. Maybe they are mad for small place between them, but seems more they are working on something imo.
Raggydoll Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 I’ve heard plenty of people call this the ‘ikea’ card because it looks a bit like when a group of people are attempting to assemble a piece of flat pack furniture together. Others have said that it looks like they are trying to raise a tent or even build a pentacle. But the point is that no matter what they might be trying to achieve, this card depicts these people as inexperienced and not very successful at their task. It also seem to suggest that there are (too) many ideas and a lack of communication skills or an inability to settle on one clear approach.
Marigold Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 JohnLetter : it's strange how you seem to sometimes interpret the cards more in the manner of the Tarot of Marseilles rather than the usual RWS meanings. Must be some kind of ghost whispering in your ears. Buy a TdM one day. I reckon you'd do good with it.

Yeah it fits about there is not much communication between them and every one there have different idea how to make this project. So as advice can this card as enforce your opinion(?).

TdM is not for everyone but I do not agree that it’s ‘basic’ in any way. On the contrary, some people find the overly detailed imagery of the RWS deck to be more restrictive when it comes to intuitive readings. TdM can almost be likened to fine art or poetry in my opinion (and I’m not saying that RWS can’t be experienced in that same way, it’s just that TdM feels even more like that to me). And we all know how flat or confusing a piece of simplistic, yet complex art can appear when viewed through inexperienced eyes. But the person who studies the way the flowers develop through the marseille suit and how the emblems form evocative patterns will realize that those decks are far from empty. But like I said, they won’t appeal to everyone’s taste or speak to everyone’s intuition and that’s fine. I quite like both the RWS and the TdM, they are just different and that’s exactly what I like about them! 🙂

Yes, for main stuff is it okay if you want to get more correct answer, but if you are checking for extended informations, classic tarot is right for it by images.
