Say It With Tarot
Everything you want to know about Tarot--especially for contemplation, self-empowerment, personal growth and creativity--from Tarot expert, author and deck co-creator Janet Boyer.
The "Selfish" Cards in Tarot
When I was trying to learn Tarot, one of the most frustrating aspects were cards that looked alike or seemed to convey the same type of energy.
Some similarities I struggled with included:
What's the difference between the 2 of Wands and 3 Wands? They're so similar!
A Tarot deck creator listed "fear" as a keyword for TWO cards. Whaaa?
Both the 3 of Swords and 5 of Cups look like sadness to me...
The Lovers and the 2 of Cups. OK, two people...in love? And the 10 of Cups, too!
10 of Swords and Death. People are DEAD. So which one is...death?
As if learning Tarot wasn't aggravating enough, right?
Years ago, after I finally became comfortable with the Tarot, I thought of writing a book called Tarot Look-a-Likes. It would compare and contrast dozens of groupings of cards that had similar themes. For example, BEGINNINGS would cover the Aces, Fool, Death and the World. ABUNDANCE would discuss the Empress, 9 of Pentacles, 10 of Pentacles and the Queen of Pentacles.
After I started the book, I realized just how time consuming it would be...so I put it on the back burner.
Until now.
But, I've decided to resurrect the concept in video form. It's faster this way and, hopefully, more fun and engaging.
Below is a 7 minutes video on the 4 of Coins and 5 of Swords, two Tarot cards often ascribed the keyword SELFISHNESS.
