At first glance at the Tarot deck Magic of Delight, it may seem that the drawings on the cards are too frank. But the images are more attractive than vulgar. The artists Mauro De Luca and Laura Tuan conveyed all the power of sexual energy and tried to reflect in their images the concept of the union of masculine and feminine principles.
Based on the concept, a man appears before a fortuneteller as the personification of power, unshakable will and strength. A woman is a wise, caring guardian of comfort in the house. It is she who fills the man with energy that allows him to accomplish great things.
Fortune telling on the Tarot of Pleasures is considered one of the most powerful, as it is addressed to sexual energy, which magicians and esotericists have always recognized as one of the main driving forces in the human being.
Card interpretation
In any tarot deck there are 78 cards, which are divided into Major and Minor Arcana. The 22 Major Arcana can be imagined as a cycle along which the tarologist moves - from the uncertainty of the situation and problems to harmony and the completion of the next cycle of life.
The meaning of the Minor Arcana
When divining, the Younger arcana complements the alignment and direct the interpretation in the right direction. Only relying on the values \u200b\u200bof cards of different suits, combining their answers and drawing parallels between them and the Major Arcana, can you get a working layout.
Each Tarot suit corresponds to one of the four elements: Air, Earth, Water and Fire.
- Swords draw their energy from Air. The suit of swords is aimed at disclosing the questions about the actions necessary to achieve the set goals. Like the wind blowing away everything in its path, the Swords are filled with will, sometimes bordering on cruelty. The abundance of Swords in the layout means the need to act and defend one's innocence.
- Pentacles are associated with the element of the Earth and personify material values. In the layout, Pentacles can provide answers to questions about promotion at work, inheritance. In the Tarot deck of Sexual Magic, Pentacles symbolize the strength of the relationship and the ability to choose between potential partners.
- Cups - emotions and feelings. Turning to the water element, cards of this suit are guides to the world of secret desires, fantasies and sensual pleasures. The abundance of Cups in an upright position in the layout predicts joyful events and the peak of emotional uplift. Cups indicate that a person is ready to create and create.
- Wands in the world of Tarot are associated with the element of Fire and symbolize the willingness to fight. The cards of the suit of Wands indicate walls and barricades that the fortuneteller needs to crush in order to achieve what he wants. In some cases, the predicted problems do not depend on the aspirations of a person, but are a given: an enemy, a partner hiding the truth, or a disease.
The meaning of the Major Arcana
If the Minor Arcana only complement and correct the alignment, then the Major Arcana give a complete, detailed answer to the question posed. It is they who set the vector of interpretation and point the person to a specific problem or event.
Jester is a very controversial card in the layout. The staff of the jester depicted in the picture means reclusion and travel, as well as the abandonment of material attachments and generally accepted judgments.
The main meanings of the Jester arcana are the desire to leave the past, burn bridges, and go on a journey for new love. The Jester believes in his purpose. He will find an illusory love that will bring him new emotions and sensual pleasures, free from annoying routine.
The image on the map is mesmerizing. The man depicted here, with all his appearance, speaks of the knowledge that he acquired along the way through Cups, Pentacles, Swords and Wands. The magician warns that the fortuneteller will soon face a manipulator and a tempter who pursues only his own benefit.
The main value of the card: an experienced lover, a willingness to lead people, a flaring passion, the ability to give pleasure and charm.
The High Priestess (2)
The priestess denies impulsiveness and hysterical love. She is wise, able to forgive and personifies the ideal lover who is always ready to accept and, if necessary, to let go. This card in the Tarot of Sexual Magic shows a woman the image she needs to strive for in order to achieve her goals.
The High Priestess teaches patience, indicates the need to acquire the ability to feel and listen to a partner. Perhaps it warns of the lack of passion in love and sex.
Empress (3)
The complete opposite of the Priestess. Fiery hair and an inviting pose speak of a desire to possess and seduce.
This card helps a woman to know herself and learn to manage her feelings and the feelings of other people. Cunning, fertility, femininity, creation of something new (including conceiving a child) - these are the main meanings of the 3rd Major Arcana.
Emperor (4)
The abundance of red colors on the card expresses rather belligerence and will than passion. A sculpture of a woman pouring water can be seen behind the Emperor. This is a sign that the desires of a woman are hidden behind the actions of a majestic man.
The Hierophant (5)
The card depicts a man surrounded by two girls. One of them, with blond hair, personifies humility, uncomplaining love, purity and humility. A girl with dark hair - impure thoughts, deceit and selfishness.
The hierophant carries the following meanings: the choice between good and evil, harmony through submission or unhappiness through resistance.
Lovers (6)
Like the Hierophant, Lovers also talk about choice. But here the choice before a person is put by fate, not people. Cupid can shoot anyone at any time, and the fortuneteller will have to choose: sacrifice the goal for the sake of momentary pleasure or resist temptation.
Meanings: temptations, a test of willpower and perseverance, the ability to find out your true goals, faith or betrayal.
Chariot (7)
The card depicts a man, his pose shows that he does not want to part with his beloved, but this must be done. The chariot symbolizes a fateful trip or event. But fate requires the questioner to give up for a while what is so dear to his heart.
Meaning: business trip, moving, abstinence to achieve the goal, support, loyalty.
Justice (8)
A girl in a blue dress holds the sword of Justice in her hands. Blue on the card is a symbol of purity of thoughts and rational thinking. The snake on the sword says that punishment will overtake liars and unscrupulous people.
The meaning of the card: harmony, finding the truth and exposing a lie, winning in an argument or in court.
Hermit (9)
The candle shown on the card is a symbol of the human soul. The hermit looks at the stub and does not understand what to do next. He is lost, and his soul is about to die out.
Warning: the need to leave the material world for a while in order to sort out your feelings and build a new vector of actions. Finding new meaning.
Wheel of Fortune (10)
It is believed that the girl who first caught the eye of the questioner reflects his condition. The Wheel of Fortune teaches a person the truth that everything in the world flows and changes: today you are unlucky, tomorrow someone else.
The meaning of the card: unexpected news, luck, surprise from a partner, mutual feeling.
The name of this card speaks for itself. Strength calls for parting with chilling prejudices, fears and resentments in order to achieve the goal. Strength warns a person that if he wants to achieve love or recognition, he needs to be strong. In addition, the card hints at unbridled and passionate sex.
The Hanged Man (12)
The woman on the map has completely withdrawn into herself, she does not see the man crawling towards her. The card says that the questioner has gone deep into his problems, built walls around and does not want to notice others.
The Hanged Man warns of a possible victim. Most likely, you will have to make a choice: a desirable man or a career.
Death (13)
This map is laconic. She predicts freedom through giving up something. Death indicates the need to part with past ideas about yourself and your partner. However, do not be intimidated by the name, Death rarely predicts physical death.
Moderation (14)
The woman is trying to mix the liquids in two vessels correctly in order to get some kind of drink. She is focused and understands that in order to achieve the goal, she must take her time and pour the liquid in a thin stream.
Moderation is about the need to measure your ambitions and act gradually to achieve harmony.
Devil (15)
Satyr on the map is the embodiment of lust, greed, anger and envy. The card personifies all the basest in a person and warns of manipulation both by another person and by the fortuneteller himself. Don't fall into the trap of temptation.
Usually this card appears in the layout when a person ignored the advice of Death or the Devil. The tower says that painful events are approaching and they cannot be turned away. Perhaps the questioner will be caught in treason.
Star (17)
The girl on the card radiates serenity, she is ready to accept and forgive. The star follows the destruction suffered in the Tower and the Devil, and symbolizes the newfound patronage and the free path to success.
Wine in the hands of one girl is a veil before her eyes, preventing her from seeing the real picture of what is happening. A mirror in the hands of another speaks of possible magic, love spells or curses. The moon warns of the inability of the fortuneteller to see the truth and calls for giving up sweet dreams.
Sun (19)
The sun, even in an inverted position, is a positive card. The fortuneteller is waiting for happiness, joyful events and harmony in love and feelings.
Judgment or Renaissance (20)
Judgment in the Tarot Magic of Pleasure means not just the end of the black streak in life, but a great and joyful meeting with your happiness. It is noteworthy that the card speaks not of the acquisition of something, but of the moment of enlightenment. The man finally realizes that he already has everything he was looking for.
Universal love and boundless happiness. This is a map about how people are reconciled, how their souls are united and never separated again. The world closes the Tarot circle and predicts a reward for the path traveled. The fortuneteller will be happy.
Conclusion
Perhaps someone will be skeptical about the advice of the Tarot, and some predicted events will not come true. It is important to understand one thing, the true meaning of each symbol can only be understood by the questioner himself, allowing his consciousness to interpret the images on the cards.
As Sigmund Freud said: "We choose each other not by chance and we meet only those who already exist in our subconscious."
That is why you should not go to a fortune teller or a magician, who may turn out to be charlatans, but cast aside doubts and look deep into your personality. Tarot Cards Magic of Delight will not let you get lost.

Comments
And I'll probably start with one of my favorites. And then I will go as they fall out.
HERMIT
he has been sitting in this cave for a long time (the image of refuge, shelter, and also in psychoanalysis - regressive desires and the contents of the subconscious). Look what stubble has grown. The light falls outside and he blew out the candle (and it burned for a long time, the wax stains are large) so that they would not notice him. He is covered and hunched over, his hands are far from the genitals, which means he is holding back. The couple took shelter here recently, just the very beginning, the woman is not yet open - she is lying on her stomach and her arms are crossed, and the man is timid, touching his back with his fingers, not with his palm and not with his chest or buttocks - a long foreplay is planned. But their relationship is not spontaneous - they still captured the cover and spread it neatly. The hermit does not look at them, all tensed. The only thing that confuses me is the sunbeam at his left heel. Either he is still ready to move somewhere, or by the power of thought he reached the sexual peak "without hands."
And his candle is red-brown (fire-earth, passion and suppression) - suppression of sexual energy.
1. General meaning (feeling from the card) - patience, secrecy. Not showing feelings, continuing to do things that cause pain and discomfort (restraining sexual tension, hot wax, hard cold stone). An attempt to ignore the obvious things, but not accept them (arms and neck are tense, veins are swollen).
2. Work, career, finances (social contacts) - a person does a long and permanently boring job, does it only because it is necessary, but does it in good faith. Plus he took on some of the work of frolicking partners.
3. Relationships (love, loved ones, family, intimate relationships) - loneliness. Moreover, it was chosen of its own free will. Moreover, cherished, suffered.
4. Consciousness (personal issues, psychology, motives of actions) - a person who does not respect himself, punishing for fictional misconduct. There is no proud loneliness, it is painful.
5. Advice (the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe card in a few words) - look at yourself from the outside, feel every cell of your body. Perhaps there is a sunny meadow next to you, and you are sitting on a cold hard stone? Maybe you should think about why you are punishing yourself?
6. Warning (shadow aspects) - someone "held a candle" to your relationship - someone knows about hidden relationships.
QUEEN OF CUP
A woman sits on the marble parapet. The parapet is like a border, limiting beliefs and it is above them. Her hair is loose, she is free in her desires and actions. A richly decorated crown speaks of wealth, power and status. The yellow leaves around are the gold of experience. She is not young, but experienced. The magic of yellow leaves is the magic of sophistication. A little greenness in gold speaks of still sufficient strength and juiciness. Summer has just passed away, autumn has not yet fully come into its own.
The man is young, strong. Lower in status, position and wealth. He knelt down in front of the woman and pushed her apart to his chest. He is consumed by her. Captivated by her experience and passion. Fascinated by the freedom that maturity gives. He is ready to submit to experience all that this woman can give.
She is gentle, caring, knows what she wants, is ready to pay for his strength and energy, ready to teach, to elevate, if he has the strength and respect to prove his loyalty to her.
1. General meaning (feeling from the card) - power, experience and sophistication, as well as awareness, give satisfaction to many desires. Limitations are overcome by the power of desire. Tenderness, pliability and softness can have no less strength than pressure and passion. The power of water, the power of spreading desire.
2. Relationships (love, loved ones, family, intimate relationships) - unequal, but mutually beneficial relationship. Adults, conscious, everyone knows what he wants. Inequality only fuels more, gives unique bonuses to this relationship.
3. Consciousness (personal issues, psychology, motives of actions) - take what is necessary and what you lack at the moment. It is beneficial to supplement your strength with the strength of your partner. Something is lost, something has not come yet - this can be found elsewhere.
4. Advice (the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe card in a few words) - Unequal can be mutually beneficial if consciously.
6. Warning (shadow aspects) - Different worlds, different views of the world and the surrounding reality - outside of passion there may be misunderstanding.
EIGHT OF WANDS
Under an old sycamore tree that grows against a high wall of sandstone, a couple nestled comfortably. A basket with fruits at their feet speaks of marriage and children. There are no restrictions either on hands, or in hair, or in clothes - they are absolutely free in desires, in actions.
The staircase against the wall indicates an open relationship, no dependency and oppression. A burning torch makes it clear that the passion has not died out. Two swallows drinking from the same bowl symbolize conscious entry into a relationship, loyalty and support.
The relationship itself, although passionate, is quite chaste - the man is dressed, and the woman has only her chest and stomach. They are in no hurry, they enjoy each other to the fullest. At the moment, the woman's pleasure is paramount and she does not try to answer - she accepts.
1. General meaning (sensations from the card) - leisurely pleasure, prolonged pleasure. A breath of freshness in a relationship.
2. Relationships (love, loved ones, family, intimate relationships) - long-term, lasting relationships. Mutual respect and understanding.
3. Consciousness (personal issues, psychology, motives of actions) - to break out of the routine only in order to enjoy yourself, each other. And do it slowly, completely dissolving in the here and now.
4. Advice (the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe card in a few words) - Find, organize yourself small "picnics" to enjoy.
6. Warning (shadow aspects) - Do not forget to return, do not prolong the rest - otherwise it threatens to develop into satiety.

Tarot Cards Magic of Delight is a deck that is considered a guide to the world of sensual love. She reveals all the secrets of the relationship between a man and a woman. With the help of fortune telling on the Tarot cards of Pleasures, you can get those concerning a person's personal life. This deck is almost ideal for dealing with relationships, as it opens them up both emotionally and physically.
The Tarot of Delights, like other decks, allows you to consider the events of the past, present and future. However, when using it, this analysis is carried out through the prism of erotic images. At its core, this deck of Tarot cards can be used in any standard and ritual divination. However, in layouts for love, it shows itself to be the most effective and convenient in terms of the interpretation of cards.
The meaning of the minor arcana in divination with the Tarot cards of Pleasures
I propose to consider the deck Magic of Delights Tarot, analyzing the meaning of some cards. First, let's take a look at the Minor Arcana.
- The King of Pentacles symbolizes the fear that can be caused by sad past experiences. In addition, he speaks of a persistent and influential fan who is used to getting his way.
- The Lady of Pentacles personifies a cold and arrogant woman who relies on logic and conservatism in her relationships. She portends a calm and safe union. In contrast to her, Lady of Cups and naivety. This card also indicates a fairly calm, comfortable and positive relationship.
- The Knight of Pentacles in the Tarot of Delight has a meaning somewhat different from the traditional one. He symbolizes a bold, reckless and slightly cocky person who is not very good at relationships. In addition, this card warns people against hasty decisions in love relationships. As for the Knight of Cups, he can speak of excessive modesty. This symbol, if it falls out in a personal scenario, should reveal itself and begin to interact with others.
The meaning of some Major Arcana from the Tarot of Delights
Now we will consider the most interesting Major Arcana from the Magic of Delight Tarot deck and the meaning of these cards. Death always has a traditional meaning. It indicates a relationship that is disappointing and needs to be completed. This card symbolizes the gap, the end of one phase and the beginning of something new.
The symbol of the Court, which is often called the Renaissance, has a very positive meaning. This card represents love at first sight, an insight, or a situation that will change a person's life for the better. Another good sign is the symbol of Peace. He personifies magical closeness, happiness, satisfaction, universal love. Completely different meaning\u003e in the Tarot of Delight has a Hanged Man card. She indicates a sacrifice for the sake of a loved one. For the stronger sex, this card can portend male health problems. No less unpleasant is the symbol of the Devil. He talks about self-destruction, selfishness, shamelessness and insatiability.

KEY MESSAGES
“The Magic of Delight Tarot is the Tarot of“ Sexual Magic ”. Most people consider sex only a quenching of passion, while for those Initiated into magical and esoteric knowledge, it represents a source of tremendous energy, which, when used under the control of the mind, can change and transform the world around. In the context of this Tarot, the body is the key that opens the gates to the space of the spirit "(MBK)
The deck assumes three options for using (depending on the degree of magical and esoteric readiness of the tarologist):
- As an instrument of divination (fortune telling in the traditional way).
- As an instrument of cognition (Major Arcana contain symbols-keys to Initiations).
- As an instrument of mysticism, combining magic and sexual acts (each Arcanum is the key to the energy of a spell or magical ritual).
Our unconscious, when working with Tarot cards, interacts with the images and symbols of the Arcana, creating an individual atmosphere for the perception of a new emotional experience of the soul. It is the symbols that are the main keys to the meaning of images. In the Tarot "Magic of Delight" the main symbolic load falls on the color palette of the Arcana. And this is not surprising: it is the color that has the most serious influence on the emotional perception of any person (suffice it to say that I myself fell in love with this deck precisely because of its color solutions). The color in this deck is like "living water": under its influence, all levels of perception (individual, archetypal, magical) come to life, it, like a magic key, opens all possible interpretations of the Arcana and collects, like a wonderful mosaic, all levels of meanings into a coherent picture. Therefore, in the description of the Arcana, so much space is given to color, color symbolism is considered both in the context of psychology, and in the context of magic and the mystical aspect.
The images of the Arcana in "The Magic of Pleasure" are like snapshots of emotional states, by which it is possible to present the "background" of the plot. You will not find repeating faces in this deck, because the plot of the Tarot is the love relationship of a Man and a Woman, and not a romance of specific heroes. Initiation into the secrets of Eros is an archetypal plot, and, looking at the cards, we find the messages left to us, like secret notes hidden here and there in the details of dress or furnishings, gesture or object. The main task of the book is to give the reader the keys to the symbolic series of this deck, so that they can be used to successfully work with the Tarot in all three stated aspects.
The structure of the description of the Arcana in the book I proposed the following. Each Arcanum is considered on the psychological, symbolic, magical and eventual planes. At the beginning of each article is given image description Arcana, possible plot for the Minor Arcana card and image symbolism for the card of the Major Arcana. The different approach here is explained by the fact that SAT are symbolic "nodal points" of the ritual mysteries of the erotic Path, they are archetypal. And the MAT cards depict ordinary men and women with their individual stories of meetings and partings (this is the Garden of Earthly Desires), and knowledge of the plot can be useful here. Next come color symbols Arcana, key concepts (classic interpretations of the Arcana, taking into account the specifics of the deck), personality characteristics, characteristics of relationships, characteristics of sexual relations, magic (description of the symbolism of the magic ritual of the card), Enjoyment (the emotional energy of the Arcana), immersion (meditative state corresponding to the image of the Arcana), advice and warning.
In the last part of the book, layouts are given, including the author's, and examples of their interpretation.
I hope this book will become a reliable guide in the world of Tarot symbols "Magic of Delight" and a good advisor to Readers.
Arcanum XVII - Stars
“Love is a beacon raised over the storm,
Not fading in darkness and fog.
Love is the star by which the sailor
Determines the place in the ocean ... "
Shakespeare. Sonnet 116
“Only that pearl can be compared with her,
Whose delicate color is worthy of admiration.
She's an example to be compared
In her beauty is the limit of natural forces,
In her eyes - the radiance of the luminaries,
They give birth to invisible spirits,
The spirits amaze human eyes,
And their face kindled all their hearts.
And her love turns red on her face
But no one dares to stare. "
Dante Alighieri
Picture
In the foreground of the painting, a naked man lies in the grass with his eyes closed. To his right, a half-naked girl in a purple bodice decorated with intricate embroidery sits sideways. From a golden teapot, she pours milk onto the man's chest. In the background, a calm water surface merges with purple skies. Against the background of the sky, 8 stars stand out brightly: 7 - white and one large yellow. An atmosphere of gentle peace.
The symbolic meaning of the Arcana
“If the Tower is perceived as an extreme situation that reveals some suppressed painful tendencies in the world or in ourselves, then after it comes peace, a feeling of purification, liberation, dumping of ballast. Thinking now about this wonderful map, I am trying to understand if hope is our most precious gift, more precious even than love? After all, if we love, but at the same time do not hope, we truly live in a very gloomy world "(R. Pollack," The Wisdom of the Tarot ")
The sixteenth "nodal point" of the erotic Path was Betrayal (Arkan Tower). Now in the XVII Arcanum, through purification, it is time to realize your strength and the ability to find the path to happiness. Virgo pours white milk from the spout of a golden teapot onto her chest, into the projection area of \u200b\u200bthe heart chakra. Milk, being the food of the gods and the elixir of life, symbolizes rebirth and fertility. It was often associated with the forces of the moon and was credited with the ability to extinguish fire from lightning (here the association with the classic image of the 16th Arcanum is interesting). Milk sacrifices in ancient cultures were considered as rites of purification. Milk and water together symbolize spirit and matter. For alchemists, gold meant transmutation - the transformation of matter into spirit. In the erotic context of interpretation, we can say that milk (a symbol of matter - sperm), pouring out of the nose (phallic symbol) of a golden teapot on a man's chest, undergoes purification by spirituality.
“Looking into the depths of subconscious memory, one can find answers to the riddles of love” (K. Daniels, V. Daniels, “The Tarot of Love”). The "Nodal Point" of the Path in the XVII Arcana is Attraction. To create the necessary harmony of balance in the perception of love, we must create a connection between the body, which is "tied" to the earth, and the spirit that seeks for the Guiding Star. And if “The Tower brings liberation, a revelation of the true state of affairs”, then “The Star returns ourselves to us” (R. Pollack, “The Wisdom of the Tarot”). The restoration of this harmony is embodied in the fusion of water and sky, as well as in the symbolic meeting on the "milky way" of heavenly (stars) and earthly (grass).
Arcanum color symbolism
Lilac(the main color of the sky and water in the picture). The color of dreams and communication at a telepathic level. This is the color of spiritualism, immersion in the inner world.
Purple (the color of the bodice on the girl). Symbolizes spiritual love. A mystical color, like any shade of purple. Purple is the color of royalty and supreme beauty. Homer's heroes and gods wear this color. In Christianity, purple is the color of Christmas and Great Lent, the waiting time for the great holidays.
White (color of milk and stars). In alchemy, white was associated with mercury, and on the path of spiritual ascent meant enlightenment, revelation and enlightenment. White is the color of clarity, vitality.
Gold(teapot color). Since ancient times, it has been perceived as “frozen sunlight”. Gold is the color of masculine strength and fertility, as it relates to the sun.
Green (grass color). Traditionally, the color of hope. Green leaves are shaded with a yellow background, which means latent energy is released.
Yellow (star color). Golden yellow - a symbol of spirit, wisdom and divine illumination.

Key concepts : Healing and rebirth; wisdom and understanding of the highest relationship of everything; hope, auspicious signs; inspiration, sensuality; esoterics and astrology.
Human characteristic : A person who believes in himself and his dream; idealist, confident and optimistic. “A star can mean a person who feels great in his own body” (R. Pollack, “The Wisdom of the Tarot”).
Characteristics of relationships : Gentle, trusting relationship; love-friendship or idealized feeling, platonic feelings. On this map, relationships often pass at a distance, when people, for some reason, are far from each other.
Sexual relationship : When sensuality is in love with tenderness, the most delightful touches are born ... “Be guided by love - for yourself and your partner, if you feel tenderness for him; sex without love is doomed to disappointment and is poisoned in advance ”(K. Daniels, V. Daniels,“ Tarot of Love ”).

Advice : "Steer towards the star." Realize the connection between what is "above" and what is "below." One should acquire a broader view of things in order to see in them the manifestation of cosmic harmony. Believe in yourself and look to the future with hope.
Warning:
Do not lose contact with the source of inspiration, but still remember that "gazing at the stars and thinking inspire sentimental feelings, but emotions must be closer to the earth in order to create balance in the perception of love" (K. Daniels, W. Daniels, "The Tarot of Love" ).
QUEEN OF SWORDS
"A man absorbed in the thought of vengeance,
does not allow his wounds to heal "
Francis Bacon
Picture
A woman in a purple peignoir with a green fan in her left hand froze in front of a portrait of a stately military man. The head of the Queen of Swords is crowned with a wreath of ivy leaves. In the foreground is a table with a burning black candle, a red cloth heart studded with needles and a bell for calling the servants. The background is a heavy dark green canopy.
Possible plot
It seems that the Queen of Swords received bad news at the wrong time. The fingers of the right hand are clenched convulsively (a note in the fist?). With this hand, the Queen seems to be trying to lean on the nonexistent armrest of the throne (the lady, meanwhile, is sitting on a low pouf draped with green fabric). The green canopy behind the back forms the missing back of the imaginary throne. The lilac high collar of the dress accentuates the Queen's proud bearing. The Queen's crown is a wreath of ivy leaves, symbolizing determination and resilience. The proud gaze of cold eyes is directed into the distance, but she seems to be looking into the depths of herself; the woman sits sideways to the portrait and does not look at the man, although she has something to say to him (a green fan in her left hand in the language of symbols means a message hidden from prying eyes). With an effort of will, she forces herself not to cry (we see only one traitorous tear that escaped "through an oversight"). There is disorder in the appearance of the lady, which is unusual for the suit of Swords and serves as further proof that the Queen of Swords is experiencing some kind of shock. It seems that the lady was preparing for a social event, maybe a trip to the theater or receiving guests (classical sources claim that the Queen of Swords loves dancing and entertainment). She is wearing the finest smoky stockings, the lady is not wearing shoes, and the peignoir is hastily put on over her naked body, treacherously exposing her defenseless belly; a lock of light brown hair came out from under the wreath. What incident disrupted her evening preparations? The answer lies in the portrait. The haughty look of the confident eyes of a man from the portrait characterizes him to us as a person who takes little regard with the feelings of other people. A man in gray trousers and a white uniform merges with the blurred gray background of the portrait and looks more like a vision or a ghost that emerged from dense fog (pastel colors are associated with the element of air). Or does the Queen so vaguely distinguish him through the veil of tears and rage? The focus of the picture is on the cold steel of the sword, which is gripped by a man with a confident hand (as a symbol of his strength and power). The Queen of Swords has only a fan. But the enemies have crossed their weapons! (In this case, the fan, as it were, symbolically "castrates" the man.) Together, the fan and the sword form a cross: in this case, it is a symbol of the union of contradictions (horizontal line - female energies, vertical - male). A portrait placed on the floor, magical objects on the table, half-dressed appearance - everything speaks of a spontaneous magical ritual of calling in order to take revenge on the offender. The queen demands an explanation!
Arcanum color symbolism.
In the image of this Arcana, two colors dominate: dark green and purple.
The most common meaning green colors are hope. The hope for an explanation is indicated by the green fan in the Queen's left hand, but half-open and slightly lowered down, it shows that the Queen of Swords realizes the futility of her hopes. Green, like any other complex color, has diverse symbolism. So, for example, many peoples associate it with misfortune and sadness. Dark green represents brutality and heaviness and creates a sense of isolation. Color psychology correlates green with hardness and stability. The preference for green in other colors in the interior suggests that the Queen of Swords makes too strict demands on herself, raising her views to the rank of laws and demanding that they be observed with irreconcilable consistency. The darker the green, psychologists say, the more withdrawn a person is. Also, green neutralizes the effect of other colors, helps dispel negative emotions, promotes concentration and decision-making.
Purple is a mixture of red and blue and very well conveys the internal struggle of the fire of passions and the cold of reason. As a complex color, it has multi-layered symbolism. In the context of this plot, it means royal power, and sadness, and mystery, and an eclipse (an eclipse of feelings and reason that befell the Queen). Occultists use purple to develop abilities such as telepathy and materialization. Color psychology also correlates violet with the desire for magical-erotic actions, since sensual identification with a partner is manifested in it. The lilac lining of the peignoir speaks of the Queen's need for tenderness and affection, a strong feeling of loneliness and inner defenselessness. But the top, purple, color of the robe symbolizes her desire to influence others herself due to her conservatism and desire to follow the norms.

Deck structure
The structure of the deck is exactly the same as that of any classic Tarot deck - 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. Minor arcana, as usual, have four suits: Cups, Pentacles, Wands and Swords. Major arcana have standard meanings (Mage, Emperor), but along with the standard name, each card has its own specific name, which describes the main essence of the image on the card. For example, the lasso Mag, has an "underground" name - Courtship. Magical Intention. Do not forget that the deck is specific not only in terms of its belonging to eroticism - here we are also talking about Magic. Certainly, not in its pure form, not in conjuring oneself with some kind of ritual of a narrowed one, but about natural, natural, natural magic. But everything would be very simple if it was only about the natural - for experienced tarologists, connoisseurs of symbolism and other esotericists, in the deck you can find many tips with a deeper and more mysterious meaning. But for the average user, these values \u200b\u200bof the Magic of Delight Tarot most likely will not be useful.How to work with a deck
have their own unique specifics, but at the same time, they do not differ from the theoretical, classical interpretation of the arcana. This, by the way, is very valuable when working with a deck. Because we can use it both as a normal tool for viewing, for example, work and business, and - look very, very deeply into the soul of a person and into interpersonal relationships. With the help of the Magic of Delight Tarot deck, you can reveal those hidden factors of relationships that cannot be revealed by any other Tarot deck. The meanings of the pictures on the lasso are intuitive, for example, take the lasso Tower. A very interesting map. In the classical interpretation, it will show us destruction, a fall from the very top, but, of course, not fatal, because, having destroyed one, we will build a new, another. In the Magic of Delight Tarot, this lasso is drawn with three people: a woman who is in an act of love with a man, and another man who, in the background, brandishes an ax - either at the man, or at both of them. One thing is clear: this picture is a love triangle. What is not destruction, what is not the construction of a new one? Do you get the meaning? So what do we have? The classic extended interpretation that can be applied not only to personal relationships, but also to any other situations. It is in this manner that all the cards are drawn: intuitively, understandably, colorfully and with meaning. Therefore, this deck wins over many others. In modern decks, you don't often find such a combination of theory, logic and uniqueness of drawing.
