The Beatles were right when they sang, "Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends." Everything in life is easier when you have a strong support system surrounding you.

You may also see minor color saturation variations between the first print run and this second print run. The Philosophers, the scholars of reason and illuminated knowledge, who achieve mastery over numbers, forms, and cosmology, of rhetoric and sciencia, the ones who are the thought leaders of our times, keepers of the Classics, Please note though, that these meanings are meant as a guideline. Tarot meanings are not set in stone; not even ours! They are meant to make you think and guide you in the right direction. For most cards you will probably (hopefully!) feel that our meanings are right, but if a particular card calls to you in a different way then don't be afraid to go with your intuition. Time will tell if you're right or not.Although the cards are going to remain substantially the same, there may be a few minor revisions. The above is an example of a minor revision in the Ten of Chalices between the first print run (left) and this forthcoming second print run (right).

What is really going on here? You may have asked yourself that question a few (dozen) times when thinking about your current state of affairs. The Situation card shows the forces that are currently at play in your life. This card helps you understand what exactly is contributing to the problem at hand, and how it is impacting you. It's all very well saying the Ace of Cups means this, that, or the other, but how do you use that definition for a love reading? Or a work reading? Our definitions are split into introduction, general, work, love, finances, health and spirituality, which we hope you will find a lot more useful and a lot more meaningful in your quest to understand all the Tarot meanings. Whether you're new to divination or an experienced professional, working with reversed Tarot cards is always a challenge. After all, the image is upside-down and everything appears, well, reversed. How can you possibly work with such inverted symbols?Revelations Tarot is the ultimate solution to reading reversed cards! Like the royalty in playing cards, the cards in Revelations have two images on each card, joined in the middle. The two views have divergent symbolism, highlighting the contrast between the upright and reversed card meaning. Wong, who has studied mythology, and works in illustration and graphic design, drew each Major Arcana "character" wearing a mask. He believes that this acts as a representation of a human relationship as when mythical gods stand in human form "to ease our comprehension of the messages they deliver." It doesn't work for me, and, instead, some of my usually favorite cards simply come across as grotesque or uninteresting. The faces of the major arcana have ‘masks’, or lines breaking them up into sections: “The mask is merely representation of a ‘human’ relation, similar to that of the mythical gods who stand in human form amongst us to ease our comprehension of the messages they deliver.” I liked the Lovers -the upright end is a spiritual-appearing pair of lovers touching hands, overseen by a white-winged angel. The reversed end has a more sexual couple in an embrace with a red-clad, more reptilian looking angel overhead. And Death, with the multi-armed Hindu goddess Kali at the top, and a baby ‘amongst the bloody tendrils’ representing rebirth at the base.
