I live in North Kolkata. I want to buy Tarot Deck urgently. Can anyone please tell me from where to buy Rider Waite Tarot Deck in Kolkata?

TarotTrumps answers:

If you have New Age or Metaphysical book stores in India, they would have them. Otherwise, it is best to do an online google search. FIrst do a search using a close location. If you don’t find them there, do a general search. I know there are tons of sites that would sell them

TarotTrumps answers:

I read from the Thoth deck so the images may vary slightly.

You are represented by the Works card, it is in reference to alchemical work and a time of transition. You are being crossed by the prince of cups he is the Air of Emotion. He is a very focused young man and while he is doing many things at once he is not doing all of them well. He is very close to the water and has not even noticed. The foundation is Adjustment (Justice in your deck) this the Zodical Trump of Libra. It is about balancing Venus earthly and airy natures. Above you is Happiness, it is emotion in abundence. It is Jupiters expansion in Pisces watery nature and they are very happy together. Behind you is the Death card. This is a letting go of old ideas or bad habits. This is Scorpios watery nature and an indicator of change. Since you are being represented by the Work card those two are related. In front of you in the Knight of Wands. This is a card of new beginnings and he is the Fire of Fire. In his hand is the Ace of Wands. He is the creative spark generator. He is focused movement.

The hidden influences are Indolence (8 of Cups). This is also related to the Death card and speaks of mispent or wasted emotional efforts. This is in Saturns restrictive nature and Pisces sense of expansion is just crushed here. Your hidden influence is the Queen of Pents. She is the emotional side of material security. She has a goat representing Capricorn and is surveying the landscape for options. She is representing your drive to make a better material existence for yourself in an emotionally responsible way. Hopes and fears is Sorrow. You are worried that your choices will have left you in a restricted place too far inside your own head. You are concerned about being emotionally lonely due to your thoughts as opposed to actions. The final outcome is the 6 of Disks ( Success). This is a balanced card of material sucess. Whatever your choices are they will end in very materially successful sort of way.

Good luck and enjoy!

Wands Court Cards in a Tarot Deck

Ace of Wands from the Rider-Waite deck

Author: Victor Epand

Tarot card decks are divided into the Major and Minor Arcane. The Minor Arcane, which deals with everyday or common occurrences, is made up of fifty six cards divided into four elemental suits: Wands (fire), Cups (water), Swords (air) and Coins (earth).

Each suit contains ten cards that start with Ace, followed by two then proceeding on to ten. Then there are four court cards: the Page, Knight, Queen and King.

The Ace of the suit sums up the overall theme. The numbered cards in the center clarify what has or will happen and what can be done. The personifications of the court cards represent ways we can exist in the world and how that tactic could benefit or harm us. In certain Tarot patterns, they represent real people- either ourselves or someone we interact with.

The suit of Wands carries overall themes of action, creativity and movement. Fire is the associated element and its presence indicates passion, energy and being tested. The court cards of Wands introduce characters that can be recognized externally or internally.

They are more concerned with attributes than occurrences. Occurrences can be gleamed from other cards and approached with the knowledge of what court card personality will be available to take on the situation.

Page of Wands from the Rider-Waite deck

The Page of any suit is spontaneous and pleasure oriented like a young child. The Page of Wands is all about passion for life.

Internal energy can provide the fuel for conquering fears, habits and achieving freedom. This card is assertive and carries confidence and action.

The card will normally not come up in relation to an event—usually referring to either yourself or another person.

Knight of Wands from the Rider-Waite deck

The Knight of Wands is warm, generous, energetic, humorous, optimistic and enthusiastic. There is also a morality to this knight in shining armor including a desire to protect the vulnerable.

Dragons can be slain, doubts torn to bits and obstacles put behind you if this card comes up in your Tarot reading.

He does have a tendency to swing from one extreme to another, and balance can be a key to make sure his energy doesn’t become a runaway train.

Queen of Wands from the Rider-Waite deck

Determination and ambition mark the Queen of Wands. This card normally comes up in a Tarot reading after significant traumas have taught valuable lessons.

Loyal, honest, proud and forceful The Queen makes a good friend but strong foe. Her presence can signify to do absolutely anything if the will is great enough.

She is as capable as the King but has the quiet force of feminine energy.

King of Wands from the Rider-Waite deck

The King of Wands carries some of the same morality and nobility as the Knight. The King is connected with nature, mature, faithful and realistic. He has the strength to move through the obstacles of life while picking up the weak and carrying them on his back.

There can be a delay of action associated with this Tarot card stemming from an inability to wisely pick battles and overanalyzing.

Overall, the King is masculine strength and capability personified.
