Two Minoan Tarot cards for you

Today’s Minoan Tarot cards are all about the qualities we embody and how those qualities affect our relationships with others.

Though my Minoan Tarot deck is based on a standard Tarot style, some of the card meanings are a little different from what you might be used to. For instance, the pairs of court cards (which are based on the Cary-Yale Visconti Sforza Tarocchi deck) reflect two ways of being with the energy of the suit: internalizing and externalizing those energies.

In other words, the cards with masculine characters (Youth, Lord, Priest) reflect the ways in which we act on the energies of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth in our outer lives. The cards with feminine characters (Maid, Lady, Priestess) in contrast reflect the ways we embody those energies within ourselves.

Of course, everyone of every gender contains all these different aspects within themselves. The appearances of the cards are simply ways to express these ideas - they don’t refer only to female-presenting or male-presenting people. We are all multifaceted beings!

The companion book that accompanies the Minoan Tarot explains all these ideas in detail. But I wanted to share here to give you some context for these readings.

So, on to today’s cards:

Priestess of Rhytons: The Water aspects within you that allow you to nurture your fellow human beings and support them in their relationships with themselves. Your empathy and intuition are valuable traits that allow you to help others and to find your own way in life. Your inner steadiness and warm acceptance of all aspects of human nature create a safe environment for those around you. Treasure these aspects of yourself. They are far more valuable than our materialist society wants to admit.

Priestess of Daggers: Priestess of Daggers. The Fire in you that supports and nourishes your own and other people's passion and creativity. Your Fire is honest, steady, and stable, creating an open, welcoming environment in which others can flourish. Your own creativity and passion inspire others to trust their inner Fire, so don't hide yours or diminish it simply because modern society tells you it's less valuable than more material concerns.

I hope you all have a lovely day!
