I was out last week looking for more pictures to complete my Graffiti Tarot when I came across some amazing light poles outside of St. Mary’s Church.
They had four symbols painted on their base – a cup, cross, anchor, and a hammer with nails. On top was a candle in a circle.
I believe they were part of a Portuguese Corpus Christi festival, a Catholic celebration of the body and blood of Christ.
But through my Tarot eyes I couldn’t help but see the four symbols from the Minor Arcana topped with one for the Majors.
Take a look …
•cups = cups
•cross = wands
•anchor = pentacles
•hammer with nails = swords
•encircled candle = dancing figure in the World card
