Clow Card Divination 101

(Image by: desstile)

There’s little out there for divining with Clow Cards, and I find it helpful to write things down, so here’s a post. This is my interpretations so you may want to do things differently; that’s totally up to you! There’s also some inspiration from the book and the episodes.

Speaking of, Clow Cards are from the series Cardcaptor Sakura, and are even used for divination purposes in the show (namely for telling future events). I personally use them how I would any tarot or oracle deck.

Basic System

Though Clow Cards are often compared to Tarot and were initially based on it, there’s…very little in the way of actual similarity. It’d be closer to oracle if anything. Some cards have similar meanings to me, such as The Windy and Justice, The Dark and the Hermit, or Thunder and The Tower, but that’s really it.

Needless to say, Clow Cards have their own hierarchy and system.

At the top are two guardians (which don’t have corresponding cards); the Sun and the Moon. Likewise, each guardian has one attribute (Light or Dark) and two elements (Earthy, Fiery, Watery, and Windy) under their jurisdiction. The rest of the cards are divided between these six “suits”, seven for each attribute and eight for each element. The exceptions to the hierarchy are The Nothing, The Nameless, and The Hope. Some decks now have a Sakura card, which is also out of this hierarchy.

The Sun

To me, the cards under the Sun guardian deal with your interactions with the situations around you; these cards are very physical, so to speak. The three suits of the Sun are The Light, The Earthy, and The Fiery. All of the cards under The Light are very encouraging, a bit of luck, a nudge to keep going forward. The Earthy’s cards are very practical and focus on how situations are handled. Meanwhile, The Fiery’s cards are very action-based and focused on goals.

My basic keywords are:

The Light

The Light - Hope, renewal, positivity

The Shadow - The unknown, transformation, change

The Sweet - Kindness, camaraderie, popularity

The Big - Journey, moving forward, attainment

The Return - Second chances, fixing mistakes

The Create - Individuality, creation, creativity, intuition

The Glow - Good luck, simple pleasures, comfort

The Little - Perseverance, accumulation, baby steps

The Earthy

The Earthy - Practical, structure, foundation

The Flower - Beauty, rewards, optimism

The Shield - Protection, defensive, guarded

The Loop - Perseverance, going in a circle, in a rut 

The Mirror - Reflection, renewal

The Lock - Secrets, knowledge, awareness

The Sand - Shifting, constant, reconciliation

The Maze - Confusion, lost, uncertainty

The Libra - Balance, truth, fairness

The Fiery

The Fiery - Confidence, determination

The Fight - Leader, standing up for oneself

The Shot - Aggressiveness, focused on goal

The Arrow - Energetic, hitting the target

The Twin - Teamwork, contribution

The Power - Fulfillment, new developments

The Thunder - sudden, drastic changes, upheaval

The Sword - Compensation, destructive, double-edged

The Through - Perspective, improvements

The Moon

While the Sun’s cards deal with the outside and physical world around you, the Moon’s are more inner and spiritual. They’re what’s in your mind and focus on thoughts and other non-physical aspects. The three suits are The Dark, The Watery, and The Windy. The cards under The Dark tend towards your inner thoughts and feelings, those under The Watery your attitude going into a situation, and The Windy focuses on communication and relations with others.

My basic keywords are:

The Dark

The Dark - Inner thoughts and feelings, the subconscious

The Illusion - Escapist, reality, deception

The Change - Change of heart, point of view

The Silent - Introspection, observation

The Time - Nostalgia, time passing, existence

The Erase - Stagnation, removing the unneeded

The Sleep - Rest, recuperation

The Dream - Subconscious, dream world, premonition

The Watery

The Watery - Emotion, understanding, intuition

The Mist - Reconsider, uncertainty, lack of direction

The Freeze - Slow and steady, at own pace

The Wood - Growth, nurture, fertility

The Cloud - Carefree, optimistic, unworried

The Rain - Little problems, temporary pessimism

The Bubble - Cleaning up, purification

The Wave - Adaptability, flexibility, compromise

The Snow - Peacefulness, purity, potential

The Windy

The Windy - Truth, honesty, fairness, law

The Storm - Suppressed emotions, lack of communication

The Float - Above problems, objective, liberation

The Song - Expressing self, harmony, shared joy

The Voice - Greetings, communication, misunderstanding

The Jump - Finding new methods, experience, learning

The Dash - Rushing ahead, internal conflict

The Fly - Challenges, chances, overcoming

The Move - Think before speaking, talking too much

Added Cards

These are the cards outside of the above hierarchy; they belong to no suit and therefore completely stand on their own.

My basic keywords are:

The Nothing - Negative, sadness, loneliness

The Nameless - Blank slate, what you make of it, love

The Hope - Serenity, calm, composure, faith

Sakura - Energetic, cheerful, naive, kind

She doesn't want to be your hero. It's worthless for any of us to lionize her if we aren't doing anything concrete to end capitalism or genocide in our own lives.

Her whole intent in being arrested by Israel twice was not for you to focus on her, it's to draw attention, and preferably action, to the causes she's fighting for.

I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD BOB ROSS IS A GIFTED GOD I DREW ALONG TO HIS VIDEO IN MS PAINT AND

HOW

THE

FUCK

THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW PLEASE I ADVISE YOU GUYS TO DRAW ALONG WITH BOB ROSS IN MS PAINT IT IS AN EXPERIENCE I AM SO CONFUSED BUT PLEASED FUCKING DO IT

[zooophagous]

Bob Ross teaches you using layering and color theory, which are principles which work no matter what you paint with. Some materials won’t blend the same as oils obviously, but as Ross himself said, “you can paint with almost anything.”

Paint along with whatever you have, it’s great practice.

One of my partners was talking to me about Big Al and his original box art and I thought it would be really cool to draw him in an anime style
