Tea & the Prince of Swords – A New Way to Learn Tarot.

If this your first time visiting my blog please take a moment to subscribe to my blog while you are here either via RSS or email.

There is no questioning that tarot is a visual medium. Yet we spend a lot of time ascribing words to these works of art. The problem is that language by its nature limits and excludes so that it can create a definition. I think we should let the art do the talking. In my deck, Tarot Waiting to Happen, I started a process of using art to question our assumptions about the traditional meanings of the cards. In this weekly series I am going to share images of the cards intended to invoke questions rather than produce answers.

If you accept this challenge please share your interpretation of the artwork I share. Even better would be to come up with a question you think this card is asking us and share that.


Would you sit for tea with the Prince of Swords?

What kind of tea do you think this person drinks? What is the topic of conversation you'd have with them if you were sitting across from them?

    This prince of sword is closed within- defensive, protective within his own rights. No words need be spoken. The protusion and clarity of his eyes through his glasses is his voice- a message to focus, pay attention, stay guarded from other influences. Almost as though stating to avoid restrictions, need to free self and explore in order to have some tea … The table behind him with the cup and tea kettle are blurry, so is the basket of fruit. The goal is to break free- clear path.
