Today's card drawn is: The King.The spread to the right shows a couple of my favorite cards, "The Attack" (praying mantis) and "The King" (horse with crown), which is what was drawn for today.
"The King" represents paternal and masculine influences. It refers to strength drawn from having a solid foundation and hard-won life experience. This card shows that you or someone around you (a father figure, perhaps?) might have a strong sense of rules and regulations. It also indicates that you might be in store for landing a leadership role if you aren't in that role already.
The appearance of this card shows that your masculine side might be strongly at work in your life. It can either represent an actual male influence, or your own masculinity. We are often telling men to get in touch with their feminine side, but rarely are women told to get in touch with their masculine side. So, what does the masculine represent? In this case, a strong and solid foundation, having a strong sense of rules and regulations, and being a good leader. Is it time for you to step up and lead? Are you in charge of a project? Are you the person who needs to be stable in your relationship or family? That might be why this card is appearing today. While staying in touch with your intuitive, feminine side, also be sure your feet are firmly planted on the ground and that you are making wise, well thought out decisions, adhering to the rules which apply to your situation.
Perhaps there is a man in your life who needs some encouragement and support to take on a leadership role. Be on the lookout for this and be sure to support this person when he is being a good leader. When one shows strong leadership skills, then more leadership opportunities will arise in the future.
And now, just a couple words about the cards themselves. The "Super Awesome" fortune telling deck features artwork by Archie McPhee. McPhee is the artist who makes those really big rubber masks. Some of the more common masks are the horse and unicorn. These two characters are featured throughout the deck. The artwork is strange, big, and wonderful. The cards are slightly over sized so that you can see the artwork better. There are only 36 cards, so the oracle is similar to a "Lenormand" style deck, although not exactly the same.
So far, I am enjoying them. They are a nice change from the regular tarot and Lenormand cards when I'm in the mood to switch things up. I'm getting to know the meanings of the cards, which are fairly easy to interpret from the picture and the title of each card.
Step up and be a leader today and the rest of the week. Enjoy your terrific tarot Tuesday and check back tomorrow to see what I will feature for Witchy Wednesday!
