Tarot Cards For Dummies

The first card gets the reaction that Andy had thought, her sister’s initial thought of it being cool is quickly soured by the rest of the imagery and the written description. However, the next card seems to have more positive images on it and she looks to Kite, silently asking if she wants to continue. Her sister’s words pull a grin to the purple pup’s lips as she smooths out the piece of parchment and clears her throat before reading aloud, “The Lovers. The man and woman stand beneath a winged wolf which represents both physical and emotional healing.”

Eyebrows lift slightly as she darts a glance to her sister before continuing on, “The winged wolf offers his blessing to the man and woman and reminds them of their connection to the world. Keywords: love, harmony, relationships, values alignment, choices.” Shrugging her purple shoulders, Andy looks to Kite saying, “You know, love comes in many forms. Not just between two wolves but like, a mother for her… daughters…” Her voice catches and falters as she reaches the end of her thought and the girl drops her gaze down to the last remaining card in an effort to hide the tears that prickle painfully in the corners of her eyes.

A lavender paw reaches out, turning the last card over to reveal a beautiful female wolf sitting on a thorn that is decorated with lions facing in opposite directions. Her front paws are held upward and, in her left paw, on her crown, and behind the throne are sunflowers. In her right paw is wooden wand with a small sunflower sprouting into life. At the foot of the throne there is a black cat sitting peacefully. Eyebrows lift and she immediately consulates the paper, finding the meaning and reading out, “The Queen of Wands.”

A smile slowly spreads as Andy continues to read, “This wolf is here to remind you that you are upbeat, courageous, and determined. She asks you to be bold in your undertaking and action and not to be afraid of your true power. You have much to offer as a natural-born, intelligent leader who actively inspires others. Keywords: courage, confidence, independence, social butterfly, determination.”

As she finishes, the pup looks to her sister with excitement, purple tail wagging as she says, “That’s you Kite! Man, you are going to be a leader! Wonder if we should Azure his days are numbered.” A laugh bubbles out as Andy moves to put all the card back into their holder and carefully rolls the parchment back up before slipping it in the cloth holder as well.
