Tarot Cards: Volume 1, Part 1
×
While I worked on finishing up my Daily Zodiac Series, I started up an "almost" daily Tarot Card Series. In anticipation of being a vendor at my first ever fair, Bitchcraft (Pittsburgh), I knew I had to get to work on another series I had wanted to do for a long time, Tarot. I knew that this series would be perfect to help me practice a bit more on full body illustration, and other areas that I hadn't dabbled too much in recently.
For Bitchcraft, I printed out small cards in color and black & white, as well as tall "rack cards" with the tarot descriptions. I was able to complete 10 of 21 in the main deck in time for printing/shipping for the fair, and am planning on finishing up the rest of the deck to sell on it's own! Can't wait to finish 'em up!
Check out the full-size cards and black & white versions on my Instagram!
Coming soon to my shop!

O: The Fool –– From Tarot.com: "The Fool is the first card in a Tarot deck because he is the most vulnerable of all the Tarot's archetypes. He has not yet experienced the ups and downs of life, leaving him unaware of the magnitude of life's challenges, and the strength and potential he holds. When The Fool comes up in a Tarot reading, you are encouraged to take on his open, willing energy and embrace all that lies ahead of you without worry.”
I: The Magician –– From Tarot.com: "The Magician card is a reminder that you are a unique being, and have many gifts that others do not hold. These skills set you apart from the crowd and can help you begin new projects or overcome adversity. When The Magician comes up in your Tarot reading, it's a reminder that you needn't wait -- you already hold everything you need to move forward and accomplish what you've set out to do.”
II: The High Priestess –– From Tarot.com: "The most intuitive, connected card in the whole Tarot deck, The High Priestess is a card of awareness and subconsciousness. This card urges you to listen to your inner voice and to follow your instincts. Your mind knows far, far more than you think it does, and The High Priestess embodies this concept. When she arises in your Tarot reading, stop looking for answers in the outside world and instead, turn within for the guidance you seek.”
V: The Hierophant –– From Tarot.com: "The Hierophant is like a messenger from the heavens. He is experienced in spirituality and guidance, and his job is to bring these lessons down to us here in the real world. When The Hierophant comes up in your Tarot reading, you're encouraged to follow the rules, and to find a spiritual perspective on your current situation.”
VIII: Strength –– From Tarot.com: "One of the most obviously named cards in a Tarot deck, Strength is most definitely a card about strength -- but not physical strength. The Strength card represents the fortitude of your heart, your level of courage, and your ability to withstand anything life hands you. If this card arises in your Tarot reading, you are reminded that you are strong enough to handle whatever you are facing -- and will come out of it with even more power than you had before."
IX: The Hermit –– From Tarot.com: "The Hermit yearns to be alone. He knows that the only way to process what is happening in life is to withdraw from the noise of the world and create a quiet space of solitude. When The Hermit comes up in your reading, the answers you need will come from within. Be very still, and listen…”
XI: Justice –– From Tarot.com: "Justice is your firm-but-fair reminder that karma is real, and there is a consequence for every action. Whatever life is handing you at this moment comes from decisions you've made in the past, and whether it's a punishment or a reward, it is exactly what you deserve. When this card comes up in your Tarot reading, make sure you are acting fairly in all your interactions with others."
XII: The Hanged Man –– From Tarot.com: "The Hanged Man is a card that comes up when you are in limbo. He tells you that sometimes small sacrifices must be made in order to benefit the bigger picture. When The Hanged Man arises in your reading, you likely want to make a move, but don't even know where to begin. Begin by letting go. Lightening your grip on something that's no longer working for you or detaching from the outcome of your situation can help you release yourself. ”
XIV: Temperance –– From Tarot.com: "The Temperance card is a master of moderation. She encourages peace and patience, and reminds you to go with the flow of your life instead of trying to force its pace or direction. When Temperance turns up in your Tarot reading, it is a message to take things as they come, and remain flexible enough to change with the changes."
XVI: The Tower –– From Tarot.com: "Perhaps the most dreaded card in a Tarot deck, The Tower is a representation of destruction. The Tower often comes up when everything in your life feels like its crumbling, and you have no way of stopping it. The message of this card is to just let it fall. The weakest parts of your life must be torn down in order to build something strong and sturdy in their place -- something that can last a lifetime."
