Today’s cards: The World – XXI, Queen of Wands, & 10 of Swords.

If you try to be all things to all people, you will wind up being nothing useful to yourself and nothing worth keeping by anyone else. You are not a spare set of hands to be worked and discarded. You are not a set of reference books to be ransacked and abused. You are a whole person who deserves to be treated as a whole person with your own likes, dislikes, and idiosyncrasies. Here is your first lesson as a whole person: There will be those who will not like it that you are setting boundaries for yourself. Discard their opinions and walk away.


The Bosch Tarot is a series of collages based on the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. Using a unique set of meanings that doesn’t always aligns with Waite, it will sometimes read direct, and sometimes read like a koan. It is a good deck for introspection and examination of internal motives. The Bosch Tarot is presented by Atanas A. Atanassov and ©Lo Scarabeo.
