Tarokka Thursday

Question: What's in store for Chateau Malchance?

7 of Wands (Thoth: Valour)
The Chariot
Knight of Pentacles (Thoth: Prince of Pentacles)


There are two approaches to a Three Card Spread: Context, Focus, Outcome or the more stereotypical Past, Present, Future.


Elements: Fire-Water-Earth. This is a particularly balanced reading since we have Fire/M, Water/F, Earth/F-M (Knight).
A knight/prince in a reading often signifies a particular person; who could it be?

PPF: What a hilarious reading. It basically says on the surface, "GO, HEROES!" So it's looking pretty good for a Ravenloft group! We're all heroes under destiny facing "up forces stronger than [ourselves], situations that at first sight seem hopeless, yet we'll have to use all that we've learned and fight" (1), charging forward (2), to slowly grow and work through our problem.
But wait, what about the dark side of this reading?
Watch words: Even when not reversed, The Chariot is a powerful and contradictory card. It means "at its best, victory and success" but at worst "overestimation and recklessness." Don't mix your armor with your soul, either. Now, the Prince of Pentacles can be stubborn. To the point of stagnation.
What does this mean for Ravenloft? You're blindly charging down the wrong path, idiots. Be careful.
