Wooden Tarot Card Deck
Most societies share the archetypal themes found in the Los Indios Filipinos deck, but the subjects represented vary like fickle permutations on roulette. If The Emperor appears upright in one’s reading, for example, does it guarantee tidings of power, dignity or stability? If The Star appears in reverse, does it mean one’s stars fall out of line with luck? In most biological life cycles, things end with certainty—Death facing up. In this major arcana, however, everything starts and ends with The Fool. In this particular zeitgeist, we are all The Fool—in all our innocence and naïveté, courage and brashness, excitement and anxiety—happening simultaneously and not quite at odds, but in a stoic but just duality that makes this particular arcana whole.
