Ten of Clubs

"The Ten of Clubs takes the form of a youth, inexperienced, with a mind still filled with wonder at the earth's miracles. In this youth will be an admixture of lofty ambitions, uncertainty, an eagerness to experience life and a withdrawal from harsh realities. Because his character and personality are not fully formed, he will appear a mass of contradictions. 

"This youth does not represent the Querent but a person through whom the Querent may experience the fluctuating joys and sorrows of the young. Where the Querent has reached maturity, the youth may be a protege, son or daughter, or even a grandchild. In the youthful Querent, the Ten of Clubs may represent a friend whose life is linked to his. 

"Through this youth, the Querent may enter into a whole new set of experiences, acquire fresh interests and re-awaken dormant ambitions and ideals. His life will be enriched but not all will be clear sailing. Misunderstandings will arise and clashes of personality. The relationship may appear one-sided yet, if this is so, it represents a failure on the part of the Querent. The youth is capable of loyalty, idealism, insight and clear intelligence. His questing spirit may at times lead him into misadventure, rebellion and acts which hurt the Querent or meet with his disapproval. 

"The older Querent should be cautioned not to attempt to remake the youth into his own image but to respect the system of trial and error through which the youth seeks to secure dominion over himself. The older Querent may advise, guide, open new doors for intellectual growth or assessment of values but he should be aware of emotional dependence on the younger person. 

"Because the Ten of Clubs combines the significance of two Tarot cards, it sometimes has an alternate meaning. It may indicate the interests which held the Querent at an earlier date will be, or should be, renewed, The Querent may find pleasure in seeking out friends from the past or he may find that ambitions long forgotten will return. These interests will usually relate to some form of creative activity in the area of the arts, such as writing, painting, music of acting. 

"The Ten of Clubs is symbolized by a figure with one arm reaching back to the past, the other stretching into the future. The indication is of a new life, built upon the foundation of the old, which will form a continuity between youth and the years which lie ahead. 

"In gypsy lore, this card was often spoken of as the card of adoption. Occasionally this may be interpreted in a literal sense, but usually the suggestion is of adopting new ideas, fresh interests and more exciting patterns which will enrich one's life."

Reading #8: P. L.

The deck used was the Cat and Canary pack. They were spread remotely. The spread is as shown above and laid out in the directions given by Wenzell Brown in his book How to Tell Fortunes With Cards .  Center Card : "By and large, the central card (number 1) represents either the Querent (the sitter), his personality and the nature of his problems, or the primary influences which are moving through his life at the present moment." Three of Hearts "The Three of Hearts represents a disappointment in love, a minor setback in one's plans or an error in judgement. The appearance of the Three of Hearts is a warning that the pathway ahead is not straight, that there are pitfalls lying there to trip the unwary.  "The Three of Hearts may also warn of self-delusion. The Querent may have a subconscious knowledge that he is handicapping himself or causing himself unhappiness by his reluctance to make changes. For a variety of reasons he may be loath to face the situation or h...

Reading #9: M. M.

The deck used was the Dun Huang pack. They were spread remotely. The spread is as shown above and laid out in the directions given by Wenzell Brown in his book How to Tell Fortunes With Cards .  I've altered my schema for this reading by only including the pertinent information for each card instead of highlighting it as in past readings. The meanings of each card can be found either in the click through link in the first mention of each in the synopsis or by searching for each card on the blog. Center Card :  "By and large, the central card (number 1) represents either the Querent (the sitter), his personality and the nature of his problems, or the primary influences which are moving through his life at the present moment." Ace of Clubs " The Ace of Clubs is a card of talent. It tells of high hopes and ambitions and denotes strong passions, imagination, energy and the power to communicate with others. Inherent in the card, however, is the suggestion that promises a...

Reading #6: B. S.

The deck used is the The Valet deck. They were spread remotely and recreated on my board at home. As I get further into this exercise I plan to eliminate the laborious details of each card's meaning and instead only include the details pertinent to the spread and any relevant rejoinders while linking to the card at hand. The spread is as shown above and laid out in the directions given by Wenzell Brown in his book How to Tell Fortunes With Cards.  Center Card :  "By and large, the central card (number 1) represents either the Querent (the sitter), his personality and the nature of his problems, or the primary influences which are moving through his life at the present moment." Ace of Clubs "The Ace of Clubs is a card of talent. It tells of high hopes and ambitions and denotes strong passions, imagination, energy and the power to communicate with others. Inherent in the card, however, is the suggestion that promises are unfulfilled, talents unchanneled, and the maximu...
