Tart Cards: London's Illicit Advertising Art

Product Information

And here's the thing – you may already consciously know the message or insight you receive in a Tarot reading, in which case, the reading can be a heartening confirmation of what you already know. Or, you might be completely unaware of the message until you see it reflected in the cards, in which case you are now empowered to take action based on your new awareness. How do Tarot Cards Work When Reading for Others?

In the occult tradition, tarot cards are referred to as “arcana”, with the Fool and 21 trumps being termed the Major Arcana and the suit cards the Minor Arcana, [5] terms not used by players of tarot card games. This simple act of envisioning your desired relationship then has a subtle, yet powerful, effect on your ability to find new love, and instead of waiting around for someone to find you, you are empowered to take action and find them. Creating a Connection That being said, we would have liked to see more variety in the game’s Action Cards. As it stands, there are only four different kinds of Action Cards, so this limits the ways you can manipulate the Pop-Tarts Cards on the table (you’ll often have duplicate cards in your hand).

The suits (Wands, Pentacles, Swords, and Cups) correspond to their own unique areas of life and astrological elements. Wands symbolize passion and inspiration (corresponding with the fire element), Pentacles represent money and physical realities (corresponding with the earth element), Swords depict intellectual intrigues (corresponding with the air element), and Cups illustrate emotional matters (corresponding with the water element). These suits reveal which spheres of influence are being activated, offering guidance on how to best manage any circumstances at hand. How can I get started reading the cards?

The Minor Arcana represents the smaller in-the-moment parts of life. It is composed of four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. As mentioned above, each of these suits represent an element and, therefore, one of the four zodiac signs.

You may also stumble across scattered graffiti across Night City. However you come across these artworks, there are 20 tarot card graffiti pieces to be found across Night City. Finding all of them completes the “Fool on the Hill” Side Job.

Abstract

In this day and age, the great appeal of archival material is in its ability to draw specific pieces of history outside of the mainstream. And for some of us, there is another level of appeal: the window it provides into the methods of those who bring the material into our view. That’s what drew us to the work of Rome-based Union Editions publisher Giandomenico Carpentieri, with its latest book Tart Cards – a printed edition of Francesca Bianchi’s collection of sex workers’ cards she found in London between 1990 and 1991.

Well, here is where things might be a little more “out there” and magical. You see, we are all connected to a collective, universal wisdom and our inner wisdom. And when we read the Tarot cards—and connect with our intuition—we can tap into this universal wisdom. It's a little like connecting in with the collective mind, not just the individual mind.
