HELLO and welcome back to the Most Amazing channel on the internet.
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Scariest Tarot
Cards you do not want to see.
Fun fact, my friend Phoebe did my reading for the year and three of the cards on this
list cropped up for me - buttttI will say before we launch into this that with tarots
there are a number of different meanings that could be interpreted from each and every card
so if any of these are pulled for you, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing.
My question for the day is – Do you believe in magic?
Let me know in the comments section down below!
While you are down there – thumbs up – share
Lets just start with the one everyone is most afraid of, shall we….
10 - Death Yeah, okay, the death tarot card is dramatic
and it usually symbolizes something pretty big, but it doesn’t actually necessarily
depict literal death.
Visually the death card is part of the major arcana group and it is both visually and emotionally
very striking and high energy – there are a number of different decks out there but
death is usually a skeleton or a card that features a skeleton.
Usually the skeleton is holding a scythe and there is usually a petaled white rose.
The death card can actually be a really good sign.
It symbolizes a major transition in your life and often letting go of an old habit, situation
or relationship that doesn’t serve you.
For those who have already experienced upheaval, death can be a good card to see as it implies
the end of it… but the death card can also suggest SUDDEN change, too.
It can predict an imminent break up.
It is very much a card of letting go and adjusting to new behaviors.
If you see it reversed it can be a bad sign that you are resisting change.
Some people are, like me, usually pleased when they see death, but others fear the upheaval.
Ladies and gentlemen we are at the first of the swords … get used to them in the list
as they are the suit of DRAMA…
9
9 - Nine of Swords Urgh you don’t want the nine of swords in
your reading, especially not as part of your future.
Just looking at the 9 of swords on most decks is enough to make anyone feel pretty stressed.
It usually depicts a person sitting with their head in their hands on their bed as if they
have just awoken from a truly terrible nightmare.
On my Morgan Greer deck it is bound hands.
The card tends to mean anxiety, negativity, worry, fear and helplessness.
This card can also be a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy too, which is double the bad… worrying
about something bad happening is almost as bad as something bad happening!
The nine of swords can be an isolating card that suggests you need some help to deal with
everything making you anxious.
8 - Five of Wands This is a conflict card – seeing the five
of wands very much suggests competition and chaos as well as stalemate.
The general depiction is of a group of men locking rods in conflict but their no clear
winner or loser.
Reversed, the card means inner conflict and indecision.
This is a stressful card for sure, mainly because it seems to suggest a stalemate.
The good thing with this card is that its basically telling you conflict isn’t the
resolving answer….
It encourages you to give everyone air time and work together.
None the less, seeing this card is a clear sign of deep frustration.
7 - Five of Pentacles Oh dear.
The five of pentacles is very much the card of hard times.
Nobody wants to fall on hard times, but this card is likely suggesting you will….although
the good news is that it is a minor arcana , which means its only temporary.
Still, seeing this card could indicate the loss of a job, or loss of financial security.
The imagery on the card is usually two impoverished people clinging to one another in sadness
and one of them is injured – some people interpret this card as meaning a short sickness.
The five of pentacles is a card of lacking – you just don’t have enough.
Reversed it can man – on the upside – an end to hard times – or it can mean spiritual
poverty – a feeling of dissatisfaction and a negative and empty cycle.
Bad times….
A card of bad times.
6 - Ten of Wands Ah, the card of burden.
The ten of wands is the card of toil and being overwhelmed.
Again it is only temporary but not a card of happy times.
Exhaustion, feeling burned out, being on the brink… these are all emotions associated
with the ten of wands.
In the reverse position in can suggest emotional trauma or carrying a dark secret.
In most decks there is a person carrying the pile of wands – the burden – and they’re
facing away from us, meaning this is a weight they’re carrying alone.
Again, it’s almost over – so like… not great… but not forever.
A scary card to see… but all is not necessarily what it seems…
5 - The Devil I get it, you see the devil and it is worrying,
it’s scary….. it’s my over ruling card of the year apparently!
To look out, the devil is a worry – he looks pretty evil, he is sitting on a throne, he
has horns, claws, wings, he has a man and a woman chained up beneath him… the card
can be worrying to religious people but really what it is a warning card.
The devil card can represent bad habits, bad relationships, addictions, negative thought
patterns.
The devil is a card of short term pleasure but long term suffering… it can also suggest
unhealthy attachment, obsession.
The good thing about seeing the devil card is that it is a reminder that you have control
– it is a reminder to address negative behavior or address indulgence.
It is a big energy but a warning sign.
The devil reversed is asking you to level up and become your best self.
In ancient reads, this card fortold a death at number four…
Knight of Swords In modern interpretations, the upright knight
of swords can be all about perusing goals but a warning not to be too rash.
In older readings and predictive readings the card represented war, ruin and the approach
of death.
There is a lot of mirror symbolism in the Rider Waite Deck between the death card and
the knight of swords card.
In a love reading, the Knight of swords can represent violence, anger and conflict which
is really not what you want, either.
Ooof….. get ready for some heartache at number three
3 - Three of Swords Eeesh.
This is not a great card… looking at it basically says it all, it is very ominous.
The classic depiction is three swords through a heart, but it can also be three ominous
looking figures stabbing a heart or flower.
The card traditionally means grief, sorrow, heartbreak, hurt, emotional and physical wounds.
This is not a good card.
You don’t want to see this card.
The only silver lining is the clouds in the background – a suggestion that the emotional
storm wont last and a reminder that every clouds… and all that.
Storms pass.
This card is a signifier than you or someone very very close to you will get very hurt
very soon.
The card is all about emotional release and a reminder not to get lost in the storm and
focus on the bigger picture.
Worryingly the card can also represent a period of painful mourning.
Reversed the card is warning you not to hurt others or encouraging you to move on.
For me, this is probably the card I fear second to most.
Most you’ll find at number one, but in the mean time… lets talk about this absolute
menagerie of pain at number 2
2 - Ten of Swords This card came up for me a lot last year and
it makes sense….
I had a baaaad one.
Sooo this one of the most visually stressful tarot cards in all the decks!
It tends to show a person being stabbed by ten different swords and either dead on the
ground or screaming in pain….
The card means a painful ending, physical and emotional pain, some very deep wounds,
loss, crisis.
The card can signify a break up, a bad ending, being fired, a friend betraying you.
Nothing good.
I say that, but actually tens signify the completion of a cycle – so…..pain… but
not forever….its a worse case scenario card, but when its done, its done.
The ten of swords invites you to accept it!
Its kind of worse to see it reversed as it suggests you are trying to avoid inevitable
pain… maybe trying ti avoid a breakup.
Reversed its kind of inviting you to rip the band aid off.
Band aid… ahh I’ve lived in North America too long.
Okay, finally at number one, the scariest card of them all….
We have The Tower Major Arcana, major energy….
The Tower is the biggie.
So… pictatorially… lighting is striking the tower….
It is on fire, Kings and Queens are losing their crowns and falling verrrry hard into
choppy tides.
That tower is no longer safe…it is coming DOWN…it is getting destroyed.
So…yeah..tower….stressful.
When this card appears, expect the unexpected…
literally!
It is a card of chaos, destruction, change and upheaval.
Traditionally it can mean divorce, death of someone close to you, an event that shakes
you to your core, something affecting who you are, total destruction… it can even
depict an actual natural disaster like an earth quake…or sometimes it suggests an
accident.
This card suggests that everything you believe to be true or trusted could be turned on its
head.
With an upright tower, change is external.
With a reversed tower… change is internal and reflects you calling into question you
beliefs in a very serious way.
It can also be a sign that you are resisting change and necessary destruction…unlike
the reversed ten of swords, this isn’t a rip the band aid off sign, it’s a take a
wrecking ball to it sign.
Basically….when you see the tower….ohh honey, boi, babe…brace yourself.
The good thing though is that when the worst happens, you can rebuild a fresh.
If that’s any comfort.
SO that was the Top 10 Scariest Tarot Cards You DO NOT want to see… do you believe it?
Do you read cards?
