Well, hey there. Let’s talk about this… this “black tarot,” whatever that is. Sounds kinda spooky, don’t it? Folks always makin’ up new things. But, I guess if you’re into it, you’re into it. My old bones don’t understand much of this newfangled stuff, but I’ll tell you what I know, or what I’ve heard tell, anyway.
What is this Black Tarot Anyway?
Now, from what I gather, this “tarot” thing is a bunch of cards. Like, a deck of playin’ cards, but with all sorts of pictures on ‘em. Pictures of folks, and things, and I don’t know what all. And this “black tarot” must be a special kind, maybe with darker pictures or somethin’. They say there’s 78 of these cards in a whole deck. That’s a whole lot of pictures if you ask me. And each one of them pictures, they say it means somethin’. Like, if you pick a card with a picture of a sun, that means happy times are comin’. Or if you pick one with a skull, well, that probably ain’t so good.
Big Cards and Little Cards
They got these big cards, called the “Major Arcana.” Sounds fancy, huh? These are like the important ones, they say. They talk about big life stuff, like love, and death, and changes comin’ your way. Then there’s the little cards, the “Minor Arcana.” These are more about everyday things, like work, and money, and chit-chat with your neighbors. At least that’s what the young folks told me down at the market last week.
Upside Down and Right Side Up
And get this, it matters which way the card is facing! If it’s right side up, that means one thing. But if it’s upside down, well, that means somethin’ else entirely. Like, if the sun card is upside down, maybe that means your sunshine’s gonna get clouded over a bit. It’s all a bit confusing, to be honest.
- Right side up: Good stuff, happy things, smooth sailing.
- Upside down: Troubles a-brewin’, watch your step, things ain’t gonna be easy.
Don’t Be Messin’ with Cards When You’re Mad
Now, I heard tell that you can’t just go around flippin’ these cards whenever you feel like it. Especially if you’re in a bad mood. You know, angry, or jealous, or feelin’ spiteful. If you’re all riled up, them cards ain’t gonna give you good answers. And don’t you go doin’ it when you’ve had too much of that giggle water, neither. You need a clear head for this kinda stuff, or so they say.
That Death Card Ain’t Always What You Think
And speaking of scary pictures, there’s this one card with a skeleton on it. They call it the “Death” card. Now, don’t go gettin’ your britches in a twist! It don’t always mean someone’s gonna kick the bucket. Sometimes it just means things are gonna change. Like, maybe you’ll quit your job, or move to a new town, or finally get rid of that old clunker car that’s always givin’ you trouble. It’s about endings and new beginnings, not always about dyin’. Though, I reckon it could mean that too, if you ain’t careful crossin’ the road.
Learning All Them Meanings
Now, if you really want to get into this black tarot thing, you gotta learn what all them cards mean. Both right side up and upside down. That’s a lot of learnin’, let me tell ya. They got books and stuff that can help you, but it still sounds like a whole lotta work to me. I’d rather be out in the garden, pullin’ weeds. At least then I know what I’m lookin’ at.
So, What’s It All Mean?
Well, I reckon this black tarot is just another way folks try to figure out what’s gonna happen in their lives. Some folks read the stars, some folks read tea leaves, and some folks read these here cards. Me? I just get up every mornin’ and see what the day brings. That’s always been enough for me. But, if you’re lookin’ for answers, and you ain’t afraid of a few spooky pictures, maybe this black tarot is worth a look. Just remember what I told ya, don’t be messin’ with it when you’re feelin’ sour. And don’t go blamin’ the cards if things don’t go your way. Life’s a gamble, whether you got cards in your hand or not.
It’s All About Believin’ I Guess
In the end, I think it all comes down to what you believe. If you believe these black tarot cards can tell you somethin’, then maybe they will. And if you don’t, well, then they’re just pretty pictures on pieces of cardboard. It’s up to you, I reckon. Me, I’m gonna stick to my garden and my chickens. They don’t need no fancy cards to tell ‘em what to do.
