There's so much "wut" with this picture.

Why would you carry an Axe over the should opposite the hand you're holding it with?

What is up with his pants. Dude looks like the has two dicks.

This is the tarot Trump card “the fool”. The fact that he is using the axe incorrectly is part of the point. He just bumbles forwards blindly, driven along by the cat who swipes at his balls, unburdened by any intention whatsoever.

The fool is an incredibly important card in that it is the genesis of all action. As card 0, he sort of stands outside the path of the major arcana and can be seen as the beginning of any line of progression. Without the fool, nothing would or could ever begin.

Hey, I'm looking for a woo woo individual! I don't know anything about Tarot but its always seemed interesting. Are there any good resources you could recommend for learning more about it?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

As a matter of fact, yes.

My biggest recommendation is the book 78 Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack. She compares the imagery off of the most popular symbolic systems for tarot, and really dives in to the esoteric meaning of each symbol. If you can absorb her book, you will be able to read nearly any deck you come across on sight alone.

For the Thoth tarot specifically, I would recommend Understanding Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot by Lon Milo DuQuette. The Thoth deck is a slightly more advanced deck in my opinion, but it ties tarot philosophy to Kabbalah, Jungian psychology, and a whole lot more.

I started as a Rider Waite deck reader (which is the most common symbol set in tarot), and Rachel Pollack’s book is perfect for understanding that, but then I moved into the Thoth deck as I got more advanced and understood what a genius Crowley was with this kind of stuff. There is no right or wrong answer—use the deck that speaks to you—but I’d recommend starting off with a standard Rider Waite and seeing where the journey takes you.
