Alright, let’s talk about these here… uh… Deca-something Tarot cards. My grandkid showed ’em to me, all fancy and whatnot. Said I should “learn” about ’em. Learn what? Life’s hard enough without lookin’ at pictures all day, I tell ya. But she said it’s like, tellin’ fortunes or somethin’. Hmph. Used to just look at the chickens for that.
So, these Decameron Tarot Deck Cards, they ain’t your regular playin’ cards, that’s for sure. No Kings and Queens, well, maybe some Queens, but not the kind you play poker with. These got all sorts of pictures on ’em. People doin’ stuff, lookin’ sad, lookin’ happy, sometimes lookin’ like they ate somethin’ bad. And lemme tell ya, some of them pictures…well, they ain’t for church, that’s for sure. My grandkid blushed when I asked her about one with a bunch of naked folks. Said it was “art.” Art, my foot! Looks like a wild party to me.
- First off, there’s a whole bunch of these cards. Like, a whole lot. My grandkid said somethin’ about 78? Who needs that many cards? Back in my day, we had a deck and that was that.
- And they got these fancy names, too. “The Magician,” “The Lovers,” “The Tower”… sounds like somethin’ outta a book, not somethin’ you’d use to figure out if your crops gonna grow.
- Then there’s these suits. Not hearts and diamonds, no sir. We got Cups, Wands, Swords, and… uh…Pentacles? Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a dusty old toolbox.
Now, from what I gather, each card means somethin’ different. Like, the “Sun” card is supposed to be good, happy times, sunshine and all that. The “Moon” card is more… mysterious, maybe a little spooky. And then there’s the “Death” card. Don’t go gettin’ all worked up, it don’t mean you’re gonna keel over tomorrow. It just means somethin’s endin’, somethin’s changin’. Like when the old mule finally gave up the ghost. Sad, but that’s life.
My grandkid, she’s all into spreadin’ these cards out in different ways. Says it helps her “read” them better. She calls it a “tarot spread.” Looks like a mess to me, but she takes it real serious. Asks a question, shuffles the cards, lays ’em out all fancy, and then starts jabberin’ about what they mean. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it sounds like hogwash. But she seems to like it, so I just nod and pretend I understand. It’s better than arguing, believe you me. Grandkids these days, they got their own ways.
So, where do you get these Decameron Tarot Deck Cards? Well, my grandkid, she got hers online, I think. Said somethin’ about “E-bay” or somethin’. Sounded like a big ol’ store, but you don’t have to go there, mind you. There are other places, she said. Specialty stores, bookshops, maybe even some of them new-agey places downtown. Just gotta look around, I guess. Or ask your grandkid, they probably know more about this stuff than us old folks.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ I believe in all this tarot card hocus pocus. But, I ain’t sayin’ I don’t neither. Life’s a funny thing, full of surprises. Maybe these cards can give you a little peek into what’s comin’. Or maybe they’re just pretty pictures. Either way, they sure are somethin’ to talk about. And if it makes my grandkid happy, well, that’s good enough for me. Besides it keeps her off them darn phones for a while, and that’s a blessing in itself.
At the end of the day, whether you’re lookin’ at chickens or cards, it’s all about tryin’ to make sense of this crazy world. And maybe, just maybe, these here Decameron Tarot Deck Cards can help with that. Or at least give you somethin’ to ponder while you’re waitin’ for the kettle to boil.
