Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about these here… uh… “erotic tarot” cards. Folks these days, always lookin’ for somethin’ new and… spicy, I guess you could say.
What are these things anyway? Now, I ain’t no fancy city slicker, but from what I gather, it ain’t a whole different deck like you might think. It’s more like… lookin’ at the regular cards, the ones with the pictures and all, but thinkin’ about ’em in a, well, a sexy way. Each card, they say, got a different meanin’ when you look at it through that kinda lens. Like, that Empress card, she’s all about bein’ a woman and all that, but they say she’s got some, how you say… “sexual undertones” too. And that Tower card, which always looked like a big ol’ mess to me, well, they say it can mean somethin’ about problems in the bedroom, if you catch my drift.
Now, some folks, they do have special decks just for this kinda thing. Pictures on ’em, well, they ain’t for the faint of heart, let me tell ya. But even if you ain’t got one of them fancy decks, you can still do it. You just gotta use your imagination, and maybe read up a bit. There’s books and stuff, tellin’ ya what each card means when you’re thinkin’ about love and… you know… the other stuff.
- The Magician: Now, this fella, he’s usually about gettin’ things done, makin’ things happen. But in this… erotic way, he could be about, uh, bein’ good with his hands, if you know what I mean. Or maybe about makin’ fantasies come true. One fella even said somethin’ about six fingers on his hand in one picture, meanin’ he can, uh, “manipulate reality.” Sounds kinda fancy, don’t it?
- Seven of Swords: This one’s a bit tricky. They call it the “Thieves’ Card.” Usually means cheatin’ or lyin’. So, in this lovey-dovey stuff, it could mean someone’s not bein’ honest about their feelin’s, or maybe sneakin’ around doin’ things they shouldn’t be. Gotta watch out for them sneaky types.
It’s all about readin’ the signs, see? Like, you got the Major Arcana cards, the big shots of the deck. They got big meanin’s, whether you’re lookin’ at ’em for love or money or whatever. And then you got the other cards, tellin’ ya the little details. It’s like puttin’ together a puzzle, tryin’ to figure out what it all means.
Some folks use these cards to, how you say… “heat up their love life.” They say it can help you figure out what your lover wants, or maybe what you want yourself. They say it can “awaken your sensuality,” whatever that means. Sounds like a bunch of fancy talk to me, but hey, if it works for them, who am I to judge?
And there’s all sorts of different decks out there too. Some are real old-fashioned lookin’, like somethin’ you’d find in a dusty attic. Others are modern, with all sorts of fancy art. There’s even one deck made by some queer and trans artists, celebratin’ all different kinds of love. That’s nice, ain’t it? Love is love, no matter who you are.
There’s this one deck, they call it Manara: The Erotic Tarot. Folks say it’s more than just a bunch of sexy pictures. They say it’s got real meanin’ and can tell you a lot about yourself and your relationships. And it comes with a little book to help you understand it all. That’s good, ’cause some of them pictures, they can be a bit… confusin’, let’s just say.
And another one, called Thoth Tarot, somethin’ an old lady named Frieda painted up, guided by some fella named Aleister Crowley. He called it “The Book of Thoth,” like it was some kinda important secret or somethin’.
And there’s decks that come with little booklets, teachin’ you how to read the cards for this kinda stuff. They tell you what different cards mean when you’re thinkin’ about “intimate possibilities” as they call it. It’s all based on the regular card meanings, but with a little twist, you see. It’s about lookin’ at things through a different lens, thinkin’ about what they mean for your love life, your desires, and all that.
So, there you have it. A little bit about these erotic tarot cards. Whether you think it’s all a bunch of hooey or somethin’ real, it’s up to you. But it sure is somethin’ folks are talkin’ about these days, always lookin’ for ways to spice things up, I guess. And who knows, maybe there’s somethin’ to it. Maybe these cards can help you understand yourself and your desires a little better. Or maybe they’re just pretty pictures to look at. Either way, it’s somethin’ to think about, ain’t it?
