Your Chosen Card – Ten of Wands Upright Thoth Deck
When upright, the Ten of Wands suggests that you have worked hard and have achieved a great deal, but now your success is weighing you down. Your sense of duty and your willingness to shoulder obligations have been assets along the way, but the time has come to delegate and share the load. Make sure that the burden you carry is not the result of deceit or falsehood.

Book Details
Creative Tarot: Calvinos interest in the tarot resulted in the 1973 novel The Castle of Crossed Destinies. There a group of travelers have been mysteriously robbed of voice. But they are able to reconstruct the story of what happened to them using the images on the tarot cards.
Complete Book of Tarot: Fortune-telling cards differ from oracle cards in that they are designed specifically to reveal the future. Reading fortune-telling cards requires a different mindset than reading the tarot. Fortune-telling card interpretations are suggestive of the stereotypical Hollywood scenes in which a mysterious reader looks at the cards and utters in a knowing tone of voice: ‘You will meet a tall dark stranger on a cruise this summer but he will be mainly interested in your money, so be careful.’ Currently the most popular fortune-telling deck is the thirty-six-card Petit Lenormand.

Tarot Triumphs: I have given these more as brief portraits of the images and what they represent as archetypes; it is important to make a connection with the kind of living presence of each card rather than with just a string of attributes. But I’ve also shown how archetype and attribute can connectan important bridge to cross in Tarot practice. Becoming fluent in seeing how archetypal qualities may manifest in everyday human concerns is the essential skill that a Tarot reader needs to develop.
