Today’s cards: The Emperor – IV, 5 of Chalices, & Knight of Pentacles.

You have been told so often that the mark of success can be measured by how many people follow your command, that you have stopped looking at what is needed before you can command others: Commanding yourself. Anyone can be the master of their domain while they are seated comfortably in the chair made to bear them. Are you able to carry yourself with the same level of dignity when you are far away from the comforts and expectations you have settled into? Prove that you do not need the marks and trophies of your station to perform as your station, and you will find yourself recognized.


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.
