Tarot isn’t about telling you what will happen in life, it’s about figuring out what to do after life happens. The cards are not all rainbows and unicorns because life isn’t that way.
That’s the genius of Pamela Smith’s minor arcana artwork. From agony to ecstacy, the images touch on the widest possible array of human experiences. Some iteration, some interpretaion, some combination of cards can offer insight to almost any situation.
Yet sometimes things happen that are so heartbreaking that they leave us all speechless.
And somethimes one card can speak for us all.
Black lives matter.
