Deck: BRuT Tarot, by UUSI
So you got Tarot-ed... What does this card mean?
The Fool: Represents madness and liberty. Stupidity, poverty, impulsivity, out of place scenarios, anything that strays away from the status quo. Clowns, beggars, backpackers, idiots, free-spirits, inmigrats, stranger in an unfamiliar land. The Juggler (Magician): Represents cunning and ability. The card of artists, street performers, minimum wage workers, tricksters, conmen, smooth-talking politicians. Clever salesman. For when you can (or have no other choice but) cheat you way in life. The Popess (Hight Priestess): Represents knowledge, secrecy, mystery, science, the occult, silence, mysticism. If the Pope is the pulpit, she's the library. From psychology to shyness, everything that hides behind veils waiting to be revealed. The Pope (Hierophant): Represents morality, codes, teachings and lessons, instruction, spirituality. If the Popess is the library, he's the pulpit. From the institution of religion, dogma, and faith to cooking tutorials. Shepherd of the flock. Love (Lovers): Represents love, commitment, devotion and passion. Blind is the angel Cupid, shooting his arrows as he flies. Not only romantic love, but everything the heart elevates and decided to follow above reason. The Chariot: Represents success and triumph, usually in battle or competition. Fame, recognition, grandiose parades and medals. Here are the conquerors, pride, progress and momuments. Sometimes travel, as well. Justice: Cardinal virtue of discernment and pure reason. Decisions and choices made using critical thinking and rigorous analysis. No bullshit attitude. From the legal system to cold head solving. Fortitude (Strenght): Cardinal virtue of courage and perseverance against difficulties. For those who never give up and keep going. Overcoming fear, unwavering constancy, willpower. From cancer survivors to dandelions in concrete. Temperance: Cardinal virtue of moderation and equilibrium. Tempering wine with water, knowing when enough is enough, selfcontrol, patience, just the right measure. From medicine to diluted alcohol and responsible consumption. Time (Hermit): Mistakenly identified as a Franciscan monk. Represents the slow but unstoppable pass of time. Aging, oblivion, decay. Wisdom that comes with age, prudence, slowness, the past. From wrinkles to ruined temples and forgotten monuments, maturity and eld. Wheel of Fortune: Represents changes, cycles and the unstable movement of luck. Sometimes up, sometimes down, all what triumphs its predecessor just to be triumphed itself. Revolutions, chance and risk. Repetition, fate. The pursuit and naive trust of earthly power. The Traitor (Hanged Man): Represents treason, crime, punishment, shame, guilt and torture. Allegory of Judas Iscariot. From betrayal and cancel culture to paralysis, vulnerability and imprisonment. It was a common form of public humiliation during the Renaissance. Death: To continue...
