Do whatever you have to do to come through, but come through. Those in better circumstances will judge you for your temerity to survive. Don’t permit their ignorance to push you back into what you escaped from. Do permit the same determination that brought you this far to continue enabling you to seek something better for yourself. When you do, you do not have to drag those who tried to step on you with you. Set the table with the fruits of your labor and eat well.


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.
