| The Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck |
This deck is based on the RWS accepted Tarot card interpretations. However, the symbology of these Gothic images allows one the freedom to arrive at different interpretations when it comes to weaving a story together.
There is no need to use inverted cards as each card can be interpreted as either positive or negative depending on the intuition accessed by the Reader.
In this reading I am using 8 cards with the Shadow Card in the middle of the first row and an 8th card (bottom) as clarification or affirmation to the reading.
1. Shadow Card - 1st row middle - VII The Chariot -Taking charge of your life
2. Past - 1st row Left - XVII The Star - Promise, Hope and Faith
3. Present Top Card - The Ace of Cups - Overflowing with Love and Compassion
4. Destination 2nd row Right - X of Swords - A period of Darkness (before the Light)
5. Hidden - 2nd row Right - Page of Cups - Face Your Fears
6. Advice - 2nd row Middle - King of Pentacles - Corruption and Decay
7. Outcome - 2nd row Left - XV The Devil - Trickery; bondage, illusion
8. Affirmation/Confirmation - Bottom Card - VII of Pentacles - Assessment
Message: "It Is Up to Us"
1. Shadow Card VII The Chariot - "Mind Over Matter." It takes courage and direction to achieve your goals in life. Now is the time to take the reins instead of letting others direct your path.
2. Past, XVII The Star, shows a woman who has been victimized/traumatized (possibly representing many more people) and still dealing with the aftermath. She feels naked and vulnerable from the experience but knows that her faith is being tested after a challenging situation. But she knows that in order to overcome her situation certain sacrifices must be made. She also knows that she alone controls her own future and with renewed faith will be able to bring forth positive results. (See the Chariot card above)
Present The Ace of Cups shows a Divine connection with what is occurring on earth right now. A truth that something higher than us is watching events unfolding letting us know that we are not alone in our tribulation. ~ Take Heart.
4. Destination X of Swords shows there will be a period of Darkness before we all are able to access the Light.
5. Hidden Page of Cups is encouraging us not to be afraid but to stand up in order to move forward by confronting our fears.
6. Advice The King of Pentacles shows corruption and decay. Even after we've achieved everything we want in life it is only a temporary existence but the soul is eternal.
7. In The Outcome Position, XV The Devil Card was interesting and I had to do some further research on the many possible meanings that could be attributed to this card in a Future or Outcome Position.
This card is telling us we have a choice - we can either continue to submit to his enslavement over us or choose freedom. "It is up to us".
8. The Affirmation Card is the VII of Pentacles. It's meaning is taking the time necessary to do a personal assessment of who you are, where you are and where you want to be and then take action to get there.
This card also confirms VII Chariot (Shadow Card) in that it is us who control our own fate(s). Our destiny is in our own two hands so take the reins and start steering in the direction you want to go. Do you really want to continue to be enslaved or be free?
The numerical value of this reading is a 4: Manifestation; organization and planning
