can also reveal aspects of the subconscious mind and human instinct but not conscious mind and reasoning. In a standard deck of playing cards, the ‘heart’ suit owes its origin to the cups.
Wands – This suit is associated with fire and represents growth, glory, enterprise, energy and animation. The greenwood with a few live twigs as seen in the illustration on the cards of this suit, signify growth. ‘Wands’ can be interpreted as staffs to carry the victor’s crown or as clubs used in combat. Wands also represent concepts, creation and agriculture. The ‘club’ suit in today’s playing cards owes its origin to the wands.
Swords – The individual card meanings represented by the ‘swords’ suit are aggression, ambition, courage, misfortune and force. This can be interpreted by the illustrations showing people in combat or with heads bowed down in misfortune. The swords also represent action, both good and bad. This suit is associated with air and is the forerunner of the ‘spade’ suit in today’s playing cards.
Any experienced psychic or user of the tarot medium can easily explain individual card meanings. Among the many techniques used by psychics, Tarot cards are, perhaps, one of the popular ones. Tarot is one harmless way that people can consider to address, or learn about, the day-to-day problems in their lives.
