Ten of Swords: Star Death
Drift into clouds
show us
the worst
you are about to
Break.
Text from Butler, Chris and Stopforth, Kay. Quantum Tarot version 2.0. Lo Scarabeo, 2010. Page 47.
Queen of Wands: Venus
She’s unhospitable / acid hot enough to melt lead
this metaphor at odds with beauty / superheated courage
the boldness of her seething
Text from Butler, Chris and Stopforth, Kay. Quantum Tarot version 2.0. Lo Scarabeo, 2010. Page 37.
Ace of Wands: Photon Mixed with Two of Wands: Planet Formation
demands (to be)
energy
pure
upsurge
electromagnetic
upsurge
pure
energy
demands (to be)
manifested
a vision coalesces
not the light bulb moment you planned
Text from Butler, Chris and Stopforth, Kay. Quantum Tarot version 2.0. Lo Scarabeo, 2010. Page 33.
Three of Wands : Cluster Fuck
mind bogglingly huge
This is effort
galaxies
dream
a thousand
explode
Text from Butler, Chris and Stopforth, Kay. Quantum Tarot version 2.0. Lo Scarabeo, 2010. Page 33.
Seven of Wands: Galaxy Collision
car crash slow
draw out your long stars
cosmic dust from each other
irredeemably altered
you have stopped
knowing what you want
now battle yourself
Text from Butler, Chris and Stopforth, Kay. Quantum Tarot version 2.0. Lo Scarabeo, 2010. Page 35.
Notes: Quantum Tarot Guide printed by CT Printing.
The Suit of Wands is rooted in passion and a spiritual component. There is no in between.
The Suit of Swords is rooted in opposition.
