The fourth card is important, according to the reader. This is the environment and it represents the impact of the outside world as it pertains to answering my question. This card is friends, coworkers, and family. She flips it. “The Queen of Cups” is my first non-Major Arcana. This queen is a soft, nurturing mother figure that is overly protective and kind. She possesses insight, love, and gentleness. This card immediately reminds me of Ezili Danto – the strong mother figure. The image is of a beautiful queen resting in a seat shaped as a shell. Her dress is a vibrant, almost mirror, color with a border that has pictures representing life (babies, fish, and other animals all depicted in waves). She is holding a chalice with light bursting out and a thin handkerchief draped over. The entire card has a very light, barely noticeable, seal stamped on it. She tells me that this card says that someone it out to get me – probably out to get my love. There are also signs that many people are trying to feed off of my love and respect as the flowing from the cup signifies. She says that her feeling is that specifically there is a female that I work with and she is after my love. Overall, the card signifies that I have great strength in the face of turbulence.
The fifth card is the answer to my question. The interpretation of this card will tell me the appropriate action to take. The flipped card is the “Seven of Wands.” She looks excited instantly as she tells me “this is good.” The image is of a man on top of a hill holding a wand that spans the length of both hands spread out. There are 6 other wands leaned against the hill, seemingly pointing at or attacking the man on the hill while he is in an attack position. This card tells her tha...

...ears tuning her trade, in the case of tarot this means that she has been building her interpretation of each card with every reading and with ever study performed on the deck. She first learned how to read cards by studying essays and books written by well-known tarot readers as well as studying from a practicing tarot reader. When inquiring about attaining her services, I gave special instructions to my friend that they were not allowed to talk about me in any way except to say that I was a student and I was interested in a reading in order to complete an assignment. I sent the details of my assignment ahead of time to get consent from the reader but I avoided personal conversation and I did not give her my name until the time of the reading. Due to the precautions taken, I am fairly confident that my faint relationship with the reader had no effect on my reading.

    The lady seems to be poor “suffering along in her broke shows” tells us that she has nothing and is worthless. Emotive language has been used to visually describe how she looks. “with a sack of bones on her back and a song in her brain” this expresses that she in a free, happy minded lady and doesn’t really take note of what she doesn’t have. " to feed the outlaws prowling about the Domain” This tell us that she most likely does this act of kindness very often, not having much at all and simple giving the outlaws something to feed on. “proudly they step up to meet her” Giving this visual effect makes us understand the power this lady has for these feral cats and to also see how much this lady means to this cats. “with love and power” - juxtaposition, again shows us the emotive language between the two this also means that she has a sense of power which she doesn’t have with the outer world. This perception of the lady is very different as to what how we see her. She is to be seen as a person who you wouldn’t want so associate with. Throughout the poem she has been moved from a princess to a queen with the development of metaphors. But to the cats she is the queen and this really depicts the distinctively visual. Douglas Stewart is seeing her as this queen who is celebrated and appreciated by the cats but this is not how she feels with society.

  • A look a "Pratical Magic"

    1809 Words  | 4 Pages

    Practical Magic was released October 16, 1998. The story is about two sisters who break a curse that had been placed on their family for over 200 years, by their ancestor Maria. Throughout the movie the theme is magic. Practical Magic helps to break the false images placed on witches and magic throughout time, but at times, the movie, still upholds some of the negative views of witches. There are many stereotypes that are set upon modern witchcraft and magic in today’s society that Hollywood has helped to maintain. In society there are people that are the selected voice of the general public in critiquing movies. I will be looking at Practical Magic’s use of magic to see how they break or perpetuate the following stereotypes: physical appearance of a witch, the witch as an outcast, and the types of magic and how they were shown throughout the movie.

  • Literary Analysis of The Water Was Dark and It Went Forever Down

    The unveiling of a piece of artwork symbolises the gradual revelation of the girl’s feelings. At the beginning of the text she seems to have no emotions, “Live. Survive. They’re the same thing” and “she thought the thoughts of a machine.” She is portrayed as robot-like and is not in possession of feelings or vulnerability. However, over the course of the story, she progressively gives in to her overwhelming, pressing emotions. “She took off her watch and bikini and lay in the sun” and “She ran naked down to the water.” This can be perceived as the beginning of the exposing of her emotion; her nakedness introduces a sense of vulnerability, a quality not associated with machines. In addition, the leaving behind of her watch reinforces the idea of the deterioration of her ‘robotness’. The watch is a symbol of time and regulation, the girl choosing to abandon it, represents her no longer needing to rely on regulation and control. By the end of the story, her true emotions had surfaced, “No, you old bitch” and “She cut through the water and filled up cold with anger”. She is no longer machine–like and automatic. This final display of emotion is represented through the uncovering of the artwork. The man whom is uncovering the piece symbolises the mother. It essentially was the girl’s mother who filled her daughter’s head with her “stupid, recurring statements” and as a result, emotion. Furthermore, the exposure of her emotions coinciding with her death implies that, although emotions are stereotyped as something beautiful to share, her emotions were engulfing and devastating. In conclusion, the disintegrating of her ‘robot-like’ armor is represented through the uncovering of a piece of artwork.

Today’s trick playing games are also derived from the methods that were developed for the original Tarot cards with games such as Bridge and Setback and many more mirroring the gameplay of a typical Tarot game. There is even evidence that the Joker card included in every set is a remnant from the Tarot’s Fool card. Finally, the images for each of the face cards are very old links to the original Tarot cards in Italy. While the images have changed drastically and are no longer very similar to the original images, Tarot cards provided a very strong basis for the typical modern card deck. Tarot birthed and developed many different forms of entertainment which have more than served their purpose through the years.
