New Tarot Writing Project- Major Arcana Series

Hi everyone,

I am previously announced that I am currently working on a tarot project as a freelance tarot blogger. My assignment was to write tarot card interpretations of the Major Arcana cards for a tarot automated card readings site. However, I turned down the contract because according to the site guidelines/ contract the moment I received payment I would lose the credit as an author. The pay was not in line with the amount of work I put into the project.
Any comments  on the Major Arcana series will be gladly appreciated.

All the Major Arcana interpretations are on this blog to read for free. For the rest of the cards I might be starting a private class if there is enough interest. Please contact me in private by email, Facebook or Twitter for more information.

The Fool
 

General overview of the situation:

The situation you are in is involving risks. Just like the Fool you may need to take important decisions in order not to fall off the cliff. The reason for the situation you are in may be that you recently lacked focus and direction and your head was in the clouds. In other words, you may have overlooked things or there are things you may have not noticed. Pay attention to all signs and search for more clarity.

Problems:

Some of the challenges you will face are disruption, something unconventional, ups and downs, pros and cons and changeability. In short, you will need to change your attitudes towards life. You can also encounter: lack of clarity, uncertainty and unpredictability. You need to keep an open-mind and to be eager to learn everything new. There are lessons to be learned before you can see the good, positive results and collect profits.

Advice:

Get ready for something new and exciting, a new beginning! Let go of the past and plan your ideas and strategy for a fresh start. Remember, it is never too late to start a new journey. In order to succeed you need to identify with the Fool’s attributes: open-mind, innocence, eagerness to learn, naivety, spirit of adventure. You must remain true to yourself to find loyal friends. If you are to receive an offer, chances are is a good opportunity and you should accept it.

In the image above I picked the Fool card for 4 different tarot decks: #1Tarot of Jane Austen, #2Tarot of the Celtic Faeries,#3 Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot and #4 the Dark Grimoire Tarot. I wanted to give a variety of different meanings for the Fool card and choosing these four decks served my purpose.

My personal favorite deck is the Tarot of Jane Austen because I read all the six Jane Austen books used in the deck and I have seen all the movies.
The other 3 decks I use less, but I will give their individual explanations below.

The Fool card in the first deck is represented by Elizabeth Bennett of Pride and Prejudice.
She is on her way to Netherfield, the manor house is shown in the background, where her sister Jane is hosted for several days by the Bingleys as a result of an "unexpected", but  carefully planned flu. Elizabeth walks to Netherfield accompanied by a dog, a faithful friend to the outrage of Bingley sisters  who think of her as "almost wild".
The Fool here suggests here independent thought and being your own person regardless of what others may think. Do not be afraid like Lizzy to walk into the unknown and follow your path.

The second deck is the Tarot of the Celtic Fairies. The Fool here is  pictured as a child that encounters the fairies for the first time in her life. It is the starting point of travel into the "enchanted world of Faeries". The fairies around the child may be real or imaginary, the author leaves that to our imagination. One interpretation of this card can be that there are new opportunities and possibilities out there that need to be tried out, even if they are just in our minds.

In the third deck of Nicoletta Ceccoli we have a toy marching at the beat of its own drum, meaning you know yourself best so  just follow your heart.

And then last we have the Dark Grimoire Tarot. This deck is created with pictures inspired from the stories of the Providence, Rhode Island horror 20th century writer, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. (sorry, I previously wrote that the picture may depict Lovecraft himself, but he was never institutionalized. I was thinking of Edgar Allen Poe).
I am not very familiar with his work and the white book does not explain who is the man in this card.  This is a dark deck and I am not surprised to see a negative interpretation of the Fool card which is sometimes connected with madness. The white booklet points to the fact that imaginary creatures are born out of chaos in mad man's mind and they stay in an "external universe"  where time and space have no meaning.
