The Fool is at the beginning of his journey. All possibilities and seeming contradictions exist in this moment. The signs of the zodiac that he so carefully juggles indicate both the science of the heavens and the vastness of human imagination. These symbols represent all types of personality traits. Which one will he end up with? Will he make this important choice or will the choice be made for him by chance? Is he playing when he should be serious, or is his play filled with wisdom? Speaking of playing, is that gold hoop at his feet something he should be paying attention to, or is it a possible distraction? The Fool does not know, nor doe he much care. He lives in the moment, filled with wonder and curiosity, not worried about where the journey will end. For those seeking a more comprehensive reading, the “Gilded Tarot Celtic Cross Spread” is an excellent choice. This ten-card spread delves into various aspects of the querent’s life or a specific situation. Each card is assigned a specific position and significance, revealing information about the present circumstances, underlying influences, external forces, hopes and fears, and potential outcomes. The Celtic Cross Spread provides a nuanced exploration of different factors at play, offering a holistic understanding of the situation and guidance for the querent’s journey. Death 13— “It’s an ex parrot.” An important stage of life is ending – career, job, relationship. Retirement. Release, transformation. Death and rebirth. Life cycles.

In symbolism, the Gilded Tarot is fundamentally Rider-Waite but it is not a clone or even a re-drawing of Pamela Colman-Smith’s very familiar art. Rather than simply copying, Ciro has used its imagery as a jumping off point for his imagination and inspiration. The Gilded Tarot isn’t one to use for its comparative historical symbolism or occult and esoteric depth, but the card images are unique and beautiful, feeling more like a beautiful fantasy or the inhabiting of a hyper-real dream-world than the Rider-Waite ever did. Tower 16— “Arghghghgh!” Perceived catastrophe. Clear out. Energetic transformation. Loss, accident, ‘end of the world’. Removal of obstacles. Starting over.

The Ace of Cups shows a large gold Cup, with a blue eye centered over it, pouring down light. Arranged in an arc over the Cup are the six phases of the moon. The Ace of Cups shows a large golden cup with a blue eye in the center. The light is pouring down from above. On the cup is an arc of six symbols representing the cycle of the moon. The Ten of Cups shows the typical family scene - but only the mother and daughter, and family cat, are shown sitting in front of the family home. Instead of a rainbow, ten cups are arched over the house. Marchetti mentions that this would be the view of the head of the household coming home to his wife and child. I find this approach a bit disconcerting - as if part of the family has been left out.

Time to pause and think. Ace of Pentacles– A gift, a new income source or a prize. A renovation, DIY or new build project. A new job, career or business. Prosperity, reward, improving finances. Star 17— “I’m wishing on a star…” Hope, peace, love. Triumph of good over bad. Looking forward; moving on. Blessings, healing. Six of Swords– Mental healing. Progression, moving on. Feeling guidance from within. Assimilating life lessons. The major arcana cards are traditionally named (bar the Hanged Man, who is here the Hanging Man). In most major cards the art has been stripped down to the main human figure, losing some of the familiar symbolism and detaching them somewhat from their environment. (The High Priestess, the Hanging Man, Temperance and the Fool – who looks interestingly but coincidentally like George W. Bush - literally float, weightlessly, in the air.)
