Tarot of Prague ~ Knight of Wands

As a way to ensure I can spend some quality time with each card of my favorite decks, I have finally started drawing a daily card from the Tarot of Prague.  Each card will be removed from the deck as it is drawn and by May 18, 2012, I should be done.  I added an extra day as there are 79 cards in this deck.

I doubt I will post all of those draws, but I may post one if it is exceptionally interesting.  So far, I have drawn 3 cards and I am just reaffirming how much I love this deck.  It is not logical because the first time I saw this deck I was repulsed.  I kept passing it by because it just seemed so, well, un-tarot-y!  But I was wrong.

I mentioned before that this deck was a gift meant to instill hope.  And it has.  In fact, it is the deck I turn to for readings when I need hope and encouragement.  I decided that since this deck is the most soothing that I would start this new project with it. Thus far, the cards I have drawn have been Wheel of Fortune, Death and Knight of Wands.
 
The Knight of Wands was quite a card!  It was like getting slapped upside the head with the obvious stick.  *sigh*  I saw alot of my negative qualities in this card.  My mindless lack of control in the face of conflict.  What really got me was the blank look on the Knight's face.  He seems asleep!  Totally on autopilot and being controlled by those more martial instincts.  After the Wheel, which reflected some changes going on in my life, and Death, which reflected changing of states, this card seemed like a task that needs to be addressed.  I am glad I decided to do this project with random draws rather than going in order.  I do wish I had the book so I could know what the art work is from and what the building in the background is.  Someday!!
