happy arthursdeathmas to all who celebrate!!
Hey guys,
I ended up having a very difficult night last night, had a couple nightmares, but one specifically happened after I woke up at 4:25 am
my cat had been chewing on my draw strings so I tried to pry his mouth open (they are plastic and falling apart, I didn’t want him to choke) and he bit down on my finger and it started bleeding a lot so I got up and cleaned the bite
Normally, after waking up early and walking around for 5 minutes and then going back to sleep leads me to having prophetic dreams or lucid dreams, last night was prophetic and unfortunately a terrible nightmare to wake up to
I don’t want to get into it too far, but it had a people from my CR who are currently going through something difficult, and in the dream they were suffering from something/someone else I know
after having prophetic dreams I wake up with intense worry and a pushing feeling to check in on them, I can’t with one since they are in the hospital
I’m going to consult my tarot deck today to get some more information about whether it was prophetic or not, and what I can do to help or stop/lessen whatever is coming
I might post my spread and the meanings behind the cards
I hope you all have blessed days 🫶
Hi cuties!

These observation are based on my 6+ years experience with tarot cards. I need some friends in the witchcraft community and more blog to follow, like this post and I will check your blog! <3

"To draw damage to themselves and away from the rest of the Famiglia, serving as a lightning rod. "
The Hermit :
Welcome to the Novana Famiglia, Ageha Suzuki.
Now we move on to the other half of Viv's Hellverse, Helluva Boss! also I hereby acknowledge that I'm walking into a warzone but whatever
First off is the protagonist of the show, Blitzo. At first fitting the "laughably incompetent main character" archetype we see in many other cartoons, there turn out to be a lot of tragic reasons for that.
His card is the Wheel of Fortune, number ten in the major arcana deck. Its very name and imagery go hand in hand with the show's musings on the respective cycles of life and misery.
The core of Blitzo's character is that he's rather contradictory. First impressions show that he's obnoxious, boorish, and pretty stupid, which would turn people off from him instantly. Yet during his more vulnerable moments, Blitzo reveals that he's afraid of being alone, even more so that he'll die with no one by his side. All of this causes him to take part in a pretty bad cycle of misery: he thinks so lowly of himself that he pushes away people interested in him with his bad behavior, best seen in his relationships with both Verosika and Stolas. And in turn, they form a pretty bad opinion about him--best shown in "Apology Tour", where the former organized a party dedicated to hating him, with many the attendees being people wronged by Blitzo one way or another. In a way, this also serves as a self-fulfilling prophecy; part of why Blitzo has so many enemies is that he was caught up in his own self-loathing and repulsed the people who would come to hate him.
This cycle can be traced back to Blitzo's childhood working at a circus with his family. Back then, his problems weren't quite as bad; despite growing up with a shitty father, he at least had his mother, his sister, and his best friend and co-worker, Fizzarolli, there to comfort him. Even then, however, Blitzo's self-loathing was starting to bubble up with Fizz being much more popular among the circus than him, with even Blitzo's own father outright saying Fizz should've been his son. Making it much worse is that Blitzo was implied to have a crush on Fizz, and was about to give him a flower and a letter for his birthday before seeing his father and Fizz together. And everything goes to Hell from there--literally. Blitzo, in his sadness, accidentally knocked someone with a lit birthday cake down, starting a fire that horribly maimed Fizz and killed Blitzo's own mother. As if that wasn't enough, his piece-of-horseshit dad blocked him from seeing Fizz while he was recovering, and then didn't tell Fizz that Blitzo tried to visit him, causing the friendship between the two to deteriorate for a long while. Combine that with his sister's current hatred towards him for the incident, and you have the biggest reason why Blitzo doesn't think he's worthy of love.
On a more positive note, however, Blitzo has broken the cycle quite a few times, evoking Fortune Reversed. It's most prominent in his forming of his company, IMP, which he calls "family". As a matter of fact, after he met his three employees, their lives started to improve bit-by-bit. He adopted Loona, a Hellhound, when she was living in a downtrodden orphanage that she almost aged out of. Despite the occasional misgiving between the two, she's truly grateful for him bringing her in a much better place than she was in before. He met Moxxie when the two were imprisoned, the latter after being abandoned by his ex boyfriend in a failed robbery. By taking him under his wing, Blitzo opened the opportunity for Moxxie's second, more successful chance at love. Said second chance came in the form of Millie, who was much more morose and caustic when she and Blitzo first met. After a scuffle between the two, she joined him out of respect, and meeting Moxxie led to her becoming much happier with herself.
The biggest triumph for Blitzo comes in "Mastermind" and "Sinsmas", the most recent episodes as of this writing, when he makes amends with Stolas. Blitzo is about to be executed by Satan for his past use of Stolas' grimoire when the latter shows up to save him. When he spins a narrative painting himself as the villain the situation between the two, Blitzo is horrified and scared for Stolas; during the eponymous song, he sings stuff like "Don't give your life to clean my slate" and "You're my heart", affirming that he's genuinely started to care for Stolas. When Stolas successfully convinces Satan and his court with his story, his punishment is a hundred years living among the common people, IMP included. Afterwards, Blitzo is quick to offer him shelter at his own apartment. Sinsmas then shows the two bonding on equal ground, further mending their strained relationship. Not only does Blitzo help him adjust to his new circumstances, but when Stolas' own daughter denounces him for his gambit in the previous episode, Blitzo comforts him again by relating to his situation. He then invites Stolas to dance with him, capping their first moment of romantic intimacy.
To cap it off, Blitzo represents both sides of the Wheel of Fortune, all positive and negative, with the circumstances of his life and how he grows in dealing with them. Starting off contributing to the cycle of misery with his crude behavior, the close calls he's had as of late have made him reflect on that behavior and clean up his act, breaking that cycle quite a few times and gaining the sincere love of many in the process. I make no apologies for diving into this show

I recently got back into digital art and had an idea but not really the talent to execute but this was my try at adam parrish as the magician tarot card
ok so with the new trc art with the tarot cards on the box, i need to share my rant about all of their meanings:
okay so blue is 11, which is two things. in the major arcana, that is “judgement” which is literally the card about being SENSIBLE!! LIKE HELLOO OKAY also in minor arcana, 11s are the page cards, like the page of cups. then is adam and he’s is 1 which is magician obvi. THEN is ganey which is 7 which is the chariot and that’s about like established yourself and the importance of conviction in ur life. then is ronan who is 6 WHICH IS THE FREAKING LOVERS LIKE AHHHHH and it makes so much sense because like yeah obvious he loves so much but ALSO on the card for the lovers is ADAM and eve sooooooooo 🤭 and finally the most heart breaking of all is noah who is the hanged man, which in about the importance of SACRIFICE!!! BUT EVEN MOREEE IS THAT THAT CARD IS OFTEN COMPARED TO THE CHARIOT SAYING THAT THE SACRIFICE OF THE HANGED MAN IS JUST AS POWERFUL AS THE CHARIOT’S WILL
okay thanks for coming to my ted talk

✨ Major Arcana Meanings ✨
Hello!! In this post I’ll explain the meaning of the major arcana (rider Waite). They are the product of many years using the tarot, reading many books, practicing etc. Remember that tarot is an art and like all art it needs time and sacrifice to improve. Don’t get so attached to books and keywords, use your most powerful tool which is intuition. Look at the spread as if it was a movie, observe how the cards influence one another, put yourself in the shoes of the figures, observe the colors, composition, facial expressions, poses and what they say to you. Something that helped me understand the Major Arcana was “The fool’s Journey”. Perhaps you feel that the meanings are somewhat vague or many of them are repeated, keep in mind that many cards can mean different things depending on the other cards that accompany them.

Thank you very much!! Please let me know if it was helpful, also let me know if you want me to post the meaning of minor arcana and some other stuff related to tarot, like some combination of cards, meaning more in depth, spreads, tips.....
Note to self and any who wish to note it:
Sometimes it's best to not have a predetermined tarot spread and instead while shuffling your deck ask the question out loud, including details, emotions and even what you're hoping the answer will help with and allow your intuition to tell you what cards to draw, what formation/order you should flip them in and how many cards you will need.
Selections from “The Somnia Tarot” - Nicolas Bruno
Tarot girlies and bros! Please help?
I have a deck that i shuffle as a stim and occasionally try to channel from, and lately ive been getting the same (absurd amount of) cards over and over even when just absently shuffling. Im so bad at interpreting meanings, ive tried googling it and i just cannot understand. Any input would be apreciated!!
Of the major arcana, in order of frequency, i keep getting: wheel of fortune, death, heirophant, magician, justice, empress, and high preistess
Of the minor arcana, in order of frequency, i keep getting: ace of cups, swords, and pentacles, knight of cups, swords, and pentacles, page of cups, and seven of cups
That seems like far too many for a message, but each have jumped out at least three times and some every single time i pull out the deck! Is it something stupidly simple, like those cards are ever so slightly bent or something? It feels so ominous, like this thing is speaking to me loudly and frantically in a language im not fluent in.
I feel like the amount of repitition (aces, knights, cups) is important but i dont know what it means. Same with the major arcana, it feels like its speaking in all caps but i cannot read it.
I really don't draw their beach outfits enough and this shall change 😋

I really don't draw their beach outfits enough and this shall change 😋
okay so i've been trying out tarot lately (past 2 days) and was wondering if anyone knows if its some kind of sign if a card literally falls off the top of the pile and the one at the bottom also comes loose (they were sun and moon)
This card has Aerith since her character fits the symbolism of the card
