A Neko Reads the Tarot part 1

A few months ago I purchased a tarot deck. It isn't a traditional tarot deck. It's "The Druid Craft Tarot". The art is amazing. But I hadn't had a chance to do anything with it. Today I decided to play with them. My focus of course on my totally messed up personal life. I choose a layout made mostly of intuition. Okay it was made totally out of intuition. I place the cards and named them based on what sounded right.

     It's a basic cross type layout. I placed the card representing me in the middle. On my left I placed Matt. This seemed right. He is closest to my heart on this side. The left side is traditionally where an honored guest would sit. It was the side of Jesus that Judas sat at the last supper. It shows my great affection and love for him. It is also the hand of the betrayer.

     Jack I placed opposite Matt. In my head they are opposites. They both have things in common with me but those things are on either side of my personality. Jack states communication is important to him and then does not communicate. Matt states he's not good an communication but works hard to make sure I understand him. So opposite Matt seems the best place for Jack.

     Joel I placed above me. I don't have a specific reason for this. It seemed important to me that he be there. It seemed the right place for him to go. But I have no reason for this.

     And below me an unknown factor. Because in life there is always an unknown factor. The unknown is always below. Under the bed waiting to jump out.

This is the layout. I placed a court card in each of these spots representing each of us. I then placed a pip card representing the connection between us. The pip card on me represents my state of mind regarding my personal life. And finally, a major arcana on each of the boys represeting a possible solution or step forward.

The card layout was as follows:

    Me: Court card - King of Wands.
        Pip card - Five of Pentacles (reversed)

    Matt: Court card - Prince of Swords
          Pip card - Two of Wands (reversed)
          Major Arcana - The Hanged Man

    Jack: Court card - King of Swords (reversed)
          Pip card - Eight of Cups (reversed)
          Major Arcana - The Lady

    Joel: Court card - Prince of Pentacles
          Pip card - Seven of Cups (reversed)
          Major Arcana - Justice

    Unknown: Court card - Princess of cups
             Pip card - Six of cups(reversed)
             Major Arcana - The Wheel

     For anyone who reads this and knows something about the tarot The Princess cards are more commonly known as the Paige and the Prince cards the Knight.

     Coming soon to a Neko blog near you ... The reading as read by me. It's late and I am messaging with an unknown factor. I'm having some concentration issues.
