0 - The Fool
KEYWORD: New Beginnings
The Fool appears as a carefree dog setting off on a journey, a small nap sack slung over his shoulder, pausing to smell a white rose beneath a glowing sun. He is present, curious, and unburdened by what lies ahead. The white rose speaks to innocence and openness of heart, while the nap sack reminds us that we already carry what we need. Above him, the sun watches with a worried expression, aware of the unseen cliff ahead—but the Fool is not afraid.
This card invites you to step forward with trust and wonder, even when the path is unclear. The Fool does not ignore risk; he simply chooses faith over fear. He reminds us that every great adventure begins before we feel ready, and that growth often comes from following curiosity rather than certainty.
When The Fool appears, it signals a new beginning, a leap of faith, or an invitation to embrace the unknown. Let yourself move forward with lightness, trusting that the universe will catch you—even if the sun looks a little concerned.

1 - The Magician
KEYWORD : The Spellcaster
The Magician appears as a wise owl, perched over a tree stump that serves as both altar and workspace. Before him lie the four tools: the sword of thought, the cup of feeling, the pentacle in the form of an acorn, and the wand of action. Each rests within reach, balanced and ready. The owl’s steady gaze reminds us that magic is not chaos or chance—it is awareness, intention, and skill applied with care.
This card speaks to your ability to shape reality through focus and alignment. The owl sees what others miss, understanding how ideas, emotions, resources, and energy work together. The acorn promises growth from small beginnings, while the stump grounds the Magician in the natural world—creation begins where insight meets action.
When The Magician appears, it is a sign that you already possess the tools you need. The moment calls for clarity of intention and confidence in your own capabilities. Speak your truth, choose your direction, and act deliberately. This is the magic of conscious creation.

2 - The High Priestess
KEYWORD : The Inner Guide
The High Priestess appears as a wolf draped in a flowing veil, standing calmly between two ancient columns. She is the guardian of thresholds, keeper of what is hidden and what is yet to be revealed. The veil softens the world behind her, reminding us that not all truth is meant to be seen at once. The columns mark a sacred pause—between light and shadow, knowing and not knowing.
This card speaks to inner wisdom, intuition, and the deep intelligence of listening. Like the wolf, the High Priestess trusts her instincts and moves with quiet certainty. She does not chase answers; she waits for them to surface in their own time. Her power lies in restraint, discernment, and trust in the unseen.
When The High Priestess appears, you are being asked to turn inward. Pay attention to subtle signals, dreams, and gut feelings. Silence may be more instructive than action. Between the columns, there is no need to choose just yet—only to notice, honor what you sense, and allow the truth to unfold.

3 - The Empress
KEYWORD : The Creator
The Empress appears as a regal cat, draped in a flowing dress patterned with ripe pomegranates. She sits within a lush landscape overflowing with fruit and golden wheat, a living testament to abundance and care. Everything around her grows because she is present. Creation here is not rushed—it unfolds through patience, nourishment, and attention.
This card speaks to the power of bringing something into being through love and stewardship. The pomegranates echo cycles of fertility, pleasure, and return, while the fields of wheat remind us that true abundance comes from tending what we value. The cat embodies self-possession and grace, creating not from obligation, but from desire and instinct.
When The Empress appears, you are being invited to nurture—an idea, a relationship, a body, or yourself. This is a time to allow growth, to receive as much as you give, and to trust in the natural rhythms of creation. What you care for now will flourish.
