Toronto Graffiti Tarot (Version 1)

November 17th, 2010 § 7 comments § permalink

Every now and then I get the urge to grab my camera and walk around the city looking for a Tarot deck. The magical symbols can be found all over the place.

This time round, I focused on Graffiti. There are so many great paintings in our alleyways it seems a shame how fast they’re replaced. Sometimes by other amazing images. And sometimes with ugly scrawls of nothing. But I think that’s part of what makes Graffiti Art a good match for the Tarot.

Tarot cards represent change, or the transformations we face in our daily lives. Through it’s temporary nature, Graffiti Art does the same. It quickly reflects the world around us, then changes up just as fast to mirror new pictures as they arise.

For now this is a Majors Only deck, but it might grow into a full 78 cards with time. Most of the images are from a long alley just south of Queen Street West. A few of them are from along Spadina Avenue.

9 of Cups

It’s back again so soon! We just had this card last Friday. But I’m not complaining – what a wonderful day.  You feel open and loving and willing to let the world know – at least if they ask.  You might not feel like running out and embracing everyone you see, but there’s a sense of contentment and well-being that’s impossible to ignore. This is an excellent time to enjoy and share.  Be generous with your feelings. There’s really nothing to fear in letting people know you care.

There’s a good chance that you’ve just gotten through some murky emotions and aren’t quite ready to be completely open yet.  That’s okay, you don’t have to be. Give as you can and laugh out loud as much as possible, even when you’re alone. It may have been some time since you’ve felt this good.  Enjoy. You deserve it.
