Since the foundations of astrology, occultism and alchemy are embedded in the meaning that the card carries, the Tarot has always been considered something magical, a source of secret, hidden knowledge. The magician, who uses these cards in his practice, communicates with the cards, as it were, and receives encrypted answers to the questions posed.

Tarot Ellen Dugan - a deck whose cards are filled with rich meaning

There are many varieties of tarot decks due to their long history of use. They differ in the style in which the images were drawn and in the meaning. In different eras in different countries, artists drew these magical amrakhs (maps), conveying their individual style and idea of ​​what this or that amrakh should be like, what should be depicted on it and how.

There are cards based on famous paintings, there are cards with Egyptian motifs, depicting love positions, or mysterious signs that are difficult to understand for an inexperienced person, each card has a magical meaning. But, although the decks differ very much from each other, each of them has a clear structure: they all have the same number of amrah, in which the junior and senior arcana are divided, the minor arcana are divided into four more suits: wands, swords, cups, denarii.

Dmitry Nevsky

Introduction

Before you plunge into the world of the Tarot of the Witches, into a world that is no different from the present and real, except that it is deeper, thinner and more interesting, read these lines. They are devoted to the philosophy of the witch (if such a concept is acceptable in the female worldview). They describe the essence, principles and main criteria that the witch uses, operating with reality and the forces of the world around her.

Witchcraft is a science and an art at the same time, it is a philosophy and a way of thinking, it is its own view of the world, in which, in addition to real material objects, there are forces that are not subject to the usual laws of physics.

Nature, the surrounding world, the astral plane, the Forces and the gods, the Sun and the Moon - this is only a part of the definitions that are certainly and unequivocally included in the reasoning about what is happening.

Witchcraft is knowledge, witchcraft is the application of that knowledge. These two pillars are decisive for any action, deed, decision that a witch makes. Indeed, it is important not only to know, but to be able to change what is known, what is not to your liking or what you want to do better.

Are the views of a modern witch different from those of a witch who lived a hundred years ago? Yes and no. Yes, since the intellectual baggage of knowledge of the modern witch is growing day by day - this is a natural process of self-learning, studying the nature of man and the world. No, because neither in 100 years, nor in 1000 years, none of the Laws of Nature has been changed. Nature, as it was, remains a mechanism, the existence of which is determined by its Laws.

Tarot cards - one of the main tools of the witch - also did not undergo global changes. So, in the 15th century, cards were focused on entertainment, considering in their essence only the emotional aspect of human life.

But over time, the interests of people using Tarot have changed. Now the person was more interested in the essence of the issue, the subtext, the hidden components of what is happening, rather than the surface aura, which, in its essence, does not contain much information.

And now Tarot cards are both a philosophical and historical tool that helps a person deal with his inner world, see the relationships in the world around him, or simply indulge in reflection using a “silent adviser” - as witches sometimes call Tarot.

You can use one or more aspects of the possibilities that the Tarot provides. You can look into the past or the future, you can get a hint or a third-party assessment of what is happening. You can study yourself through the prism of classical images - the elements that make up absolutely any person.

But at the same time, you need to remember that only you will decide what to do or what not to do, what is right and what is wrong. You are the only element connecting the situation and the Universe.

Here is what you need to remember when using Tarot:

1. You ask a question.

2. You choose a layout - a logical image of reading cards.

3. You focus on your question or situation.

4. You interpret cards based on their position and relationship to neighboring cards.

The question is the first and most important element in predictive practice. The answer you get in the end depends on how accurately and how correctly you ask the question.

For example, a question for the future: What will happen to me on Saturday night?

Question to assess a person or situation: What will I get if I go there on Saturday?

Question about the internal state of a person (with subsequent advice): I want to go there on Saturday, but I am very nervous and worried about this. How justified are my fears?

Tarot cards can also be used to get general advice, an idea, a direction: What is the best thing for me to do on Saturday?

However, the answer and its understanding does not mean at all that you need to do exactly what ...


Every woman is a bit of a witch! Inner freedom, a sense of kinship with nature, the ability to hear the voices of birds, to feel the magical power of stones - all this is in every woman, regardless of what country she lives in and what people she belongs to. With her intuition, her ability to use the forces of the elements - Water, Air, Fire and Earth, a woman achieves everything she wants. Well, isn't she a sorceress, isn't she a pretty witch?
The word "witch" has the Indo-European root "Ved". In the Old Russian language, “after all” means “knowledge”. Therefore, witches are “knowing”, “sorceresses”, “healers”. In ancient times, they were treated with respect, went for advice, help and treatment. In the Middle Ages, with the spread of Christianity, the attitude towards "witches" underwent a significant change. They began to be suspected of multiple sins, deliberate damage to people and animals, werewolf, the ability to fly through the air, revive any object, become invisible, etc. This was facilitated by the Christian idea of ​​a woman as a source of temptation and sin. The so-called "witch hunt" in Europe in the XV-XVII centuries became widespread. Witchcraft, like disbelief in witches, was declared heresy, a betrayal of God, a special crime requiring torture and the death penalty. The most beautiful women were suspected of witchcraft and climbed onto the fire. Thousands of beautiful women were burned by the Inquisition. But in spite of everything, women retained their charm and magical appeal.
Gone are the days, and the epithet "witch" sounds very attractive. No matter how a modern woman looks, but the wisdom, strength, symbols, and attributes of her power remain unchanged. We owe Laura Tuan and Antonella Platano the embodiment of this idea in amazing colorful Tarot illustrations.
In the Tarot of Witches, 22 Major Arcana, along with the symbols of traditional Tarot, include paraphernalia, plants, and animals, which, according to numerous legends and tales, accompany witches.
The suits of the Minor Arcana differ in the pictorial range and color scheme of the cards. Instead of the traditional suit symbols, there are attributes on the cards, which are distributed as follows:
Cauldrons, green gamma - Bowls.
Boulders, ocher gamma - Pentacles.
Torches, red gamma - Maces.
Pomelo, blue gamma - Swords.
In addition, the names of the Court cards, Page, Knight, Queen, and King, have been changed to Mysteries, Moon, Goddess, and Triumph, respectively.
Cards that fall upside down (upside down) are usually interpreted in a negative sense.
