The Tarot of the Traveller is a project by Veeno. She has deepened her understanding of reading Tarot cards through many years. Regularly, she shares her insights into one card of a deck with traditional playing cards, as it was allegedly used by the Romani. In this process, she lets her creativity fly, using contemporary Mandala creations and stories. Be part of this wonderful process!

Today, we look at:

The 8 of Clubs

The 7 of Spades

Bitterness, Anger, Disappointment, Guilt:

as burning embers in the heart in the face of adversity

as grief at the death of a loved one

as a desire for revenge upon humiliation

The embers hurt…
they bring sleepless nights…
inside it rumbles and rages like in a devil’s kitchen.

Yes, allow it… it will change …

Out of the blue, there are moments
where the volcano suddenly falls silent,
where friendly coolness radiates calm,
where the heart relaxes,
where you feel trust carrying you.

It is your life!
It sustains you further on your journey.
It is a chameleon.
Constant change is its promise.
You cannot accelerate it — you cannot stop it.
In this it is unwavering.

Bitterness, anger, disappointment, guilt… they come… and go

Enjoy the intervals, rest in the absence of the storm.
That is where you are at home.

The promise of this card is – change.
