Tarot of Sexual Magic

Instructions for the deck.

Since time immemorial, man has known about the magical and creative power of sexuality.

In addition, if magic is recognized as one of the facets of the existing reality, it is not surprising that sexuality, which is important not only in the life of one person, but for all mankind as a whole, plays a significant role in magic as well. The power of magic that derives from sexual need can be developed through continence, virginity, or controlled ejaculation so that the magician can channel the energies that accumulate within him or her in a mystical direction. In ancient times, one of the aspects of sexual magic was embodied in the priestly persons at the sanctuaries - for example, the virgin priestesses at the Delphic Oracle or the vestals of ancient Rome.

However, more often, sexual magic is expressed by people through action or sexual desire, going hand in hand and without denying the postulates that guide a person's life path.

Man and woman

To understand the essence of sexual magic, it is necessary to recognize that there are two opposites, separated and complementary to each other - male and female. The male represents part of the reality associated with creation and the ability to fertilize. In the Tarot, in particular, the male is associated with the suit of Swords and Wands (both typically phallic symbols), and some of the Major Arcana, like the Emperor, the Priest, and the Sun.

A woman represents a part of reality associated with receptivity and abundance. In the Tarot, these aspects are associated with the suit of Cups and Pentacles, and of the major Arcana, the High Priestess, the Empress, and the Moon.

The sexual act - on a mystical level - is a unique moment in which a man and a woman come together and coexist. This aspect is a source of great power. Most people refer to this as "passion"; however, for esoteric people, sex represents a much greater power that can be used and controlled to change and transform existing circumstances.

The Sexual Magic Tarot can be used for many occasions.

First of all, this deck can be used as a traditional deck, but given its strong erotic focus. The deck can be used for personal divination and meditation, but before that, the images and symbols must be studied in order to be interpreted in sync with the erotic, passionate, and secret aspects of each person's soul. For this Tarot deck, the body is the key to understanding the spirit.

Secondly, the Tarot of Sexual Magick can be seen as a ritual blueprint for an erotic journey, or as stops along the way to a person's or couple's sexual understanding. In this sense, the path begins with the Magician, who represents erotic intent, and progresses through invitation and rejection, rejection and doubt, to fusion, to reward and sensual freedom (symbolized by the final Jester).

The third and most difficult aspect of this deck is the use of the deck as a magical tool in the context of magical and/or sexual intercourse. In fact, each Arcana is a symbolic and graphic representation of a part of a rite or ritual from a large book of sexual magic. In this sense, it is important to remember that the magic of sex is born from energy and understanding, instincts and beliefs that are much higher than the material world. For those who plan to use these means to dominate other people or satisfy their own desires, there is a warning - their plans are doomed to failure.

We all once dreamed of knowing our future, looking into the unknown, forbidden and magical. Often we want to see what we want most, which is to know who we really are. And here the bewitching, magical and at the same time erotic power of Tarot cards Magic of Pleasures comes to our aid.

The authors of these maps did an excellent job of design, decoration and artistic content. Anyone who ever takes these cards in their hands will be able to see their sexuality, their uniqueness and unscrupulousness in terms of sex.

deck structure

The Magic of Pleasure Tarot cards were designed by artists Laura Tuan and Mauro De Luca and have exactly the same structure as any other tarot deck - 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. To work with them, you need to have some experience in tarology, or read several ways to work with them. These same Tarot cards are not intended to search for your betrothed, but rather to discover what is hidden somewhere deep inside you, to reveal your naturalness, individuality, inner self.

Principles of working with a deck

As already mentioned, the Magic of Delights Tarot cards are not a way to stun or bewitch someone, it is rather created to help a person look into the depths of the human soul, or to understand internecine relationships at work and at home.

If you have previously worked with a classic deck of Tarot cards, then here the principle of operation is the same, only with some nuances. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they can help solve problems in your personal life, understand the essence of relationships at work or at home, whether it is worth communicating with certain people, etc.

It is also interesting that each of these cards does not have a direct interpretation, but, as it were, there is still a deep meaning. For example, let's take the Tower lasso. In the classical interpretation, this card will tell us about an imminent fall from the top, but not fatal, since after each fall you can always start building anew, and it all depends on the person who has this difficult path ahead. But if we look at this card from the side of the Magic of Pleasure, then the Tower is drawn there with three people: in the foreground is a woman who is in a love relationship with a man, and in the back is a man who swings an ax. And here we cannot give a hundred percent answer to whom exactly our "woe lover" is aiming at, but one thing is for sure - we are dealing with a love triangle. This is a turn, you think, and immediately discard the version of falling from the top or building a new one, as in the classic version, but ... Let's look at this situation from the other side - a love triangle - why not destroy a family idyll or build new relationships ? This is what these cards fascinate with, because everything here is so well thought out and worked out that even the most inveterate skeptic will be able to find his own deep meaning and his own interpretation of everything that happens.

Definitely Tarot cards Magic of Delight wins against the background of others, because there is a mixture of logic, uniqueness, knowledge of theory and excellent drawing, for which special thanks to the authors.

Well, we are left with one unanswered question: how exactly does this deck work and what layouts can be done with it? I’ll answer right away: Tarot cards Magic of Delights can answer any of your questions and you can do any layouts with it. I would just like to clarify: they all work better precisely on understanding the relationship between people and understanding their purpose. It is also possible to understand and find your sexual core and your sexual partner. This is what underlies the creation of these cards, and not money, work, study. Although it is also not so simple here. It all depends on what hands this deck ends up in, and since magic is involved here, then be sure that you will find what you are looking for, the main thing is to believe.

MAIN POINTS

“The Tarot “Magic of Pleasures” 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 is a source of tremendous energy, which, when used under mind control, is able to change and transform the world around. In the context of this Tarot, the body is the key that opens the gate to the space of the spirit.” (MBK)

The deck involves three options for use (depending on the degree of magical and esoteric preparedness of the tarologist):

As an instrument of divination (fortune-telling in the traditional way).
As a tool of cognition (the Major Arcana contains the symbols-keys to the Initiations).
As an instrument of mysticism, connecting magic and sexual act (each Arcana is the key to the energy of a spell or magic ritual).

Our unconscious, when working with Tarot cards, interacts with the images and symbols of the Arcana, creating an individual atmosphere for perceiving a new emotional experience of the soul. Symbols are the main keys to the meaning of images. In the Tarot "Magic of Pleasures", 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 impact 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 schemes). 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 complete 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 Pleasures" are, as it were, snapshots of emotional states, according to which it is possible to present the "prehistory" of the plot. You will not find repetitive 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 characters. Initiation into the mysteries of Eros is an archetypal plot, and when we look at the cards, we find messages left for us, like secret notes hidden here and there in the details of an outfit or setting, a gesture or an object. The main task of the book is to give the reader the keys to the symbolic row of this deck, so that with their help one can successfully work with the Tarot in all three stated aspects.

The structure of the description of the Arcana in the book I have proposed the following. Each Arcana is considered on the psychological, symbolic, magical and event planes. At the beginning of each article, image description arcana, possible plot for the Minor Arcana card and image symbolism for the Major Arcana card. 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 here can be useful. Next come color symbolism arcana, key concepts(classic interpretations of the Arcana, taking into account the specifics of the deck), characterization of personality, characterization of relationships, characterization of sexual relations, magic(description of the symbolism of the magic ritual of the card), Pleasure (emotional energy of Arcana), dive (meditative state corresponding to the image of Arkan), advice And a 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 Delights" and a good adviser to Readers.

Arcana XVII - Stars

“Love is a beacon raised above the storm,
Not fading in darkness and fog.

Love is the star that sailor
Determines a place in the ocean ... "

Shakespeare. Sonnet 116

“Only one pearl can be compared with it,

Whose delicate color is admirable.

She is an example for any comparison,

In her beauty - the limit of natural forces,

In her eyes - the radiance of the stars,

They give birth to invisible spirits,

Human eyes spirits amaze,

And all their hearts were kindled by their face.

And love is on her face,

But no one dares to stare."

Dante Alighieri

Image

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, the calm water surface merges with purple skies. 8 stars stand out brightly against the background of the sky: 7 are white and one big yellow. Atmosphere of gentle tranquility.

The symbolic meaning of the Arcana

“If we perceive the Tower as an extreme situation that reveals some kind of suppressed painful tendencies in the world or in ourselves, then after it comes peace, a feeling of purification, liberation, shedding of ballast. Thinking about this wonderful card now, I am trying to understand if hope is not our most precious gift, even more precious than love? After all, if we love, but do not hope at the same time, we truly live in a very gloomy world ”(R. Pollack,“ Wisdom of the Tarot ”)

The sixteenth "nodal point" of the erotic Path was Betrayal (Arkan Tower). Now in the XVII Arcana, through purification, it is time to realize your strength and the ability to find the path to happiness. The Virgin pours white milk from the spout of a golden teapot onto her chest, into the projection area of the heart chakra. Milk, being the food of the gods and the elixir of life, symbolizes rebirth and fertility. He was often associated with the forces of the moon and was credited with the ability to extinguish fire from lightning (an association with the classic image of the XVI Arcana is interesting here). Milk sacrifices in ancient cultures were seen 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 spout (phallic symbol) of a golden teapot onto a man’s chest, undergoes purification by spirituality.

“Looking into the depths of subconscious memory, you can find answers to the riddles of love” (K. Daniels, V. Daniels, “Tarot of Love”). The "nodal point" of the Path in the XVII Arcana - Attraction. In order 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, which strives for the Guiding Star. And if "The Tower brings liberation, a revelation of the true state of affairs", then "The Star returns us to ourselves" (R. Pollak, "The Wisdom of Tarot"). The restoration of this harmony is captured in the merger of water and sky, as well as in the symbolic meeting on the Milky Way of heaven (stars) and earth (grass).

Color symbolism of the Arcana

purple(the main color of the sky and water in the picture). The color of dreams and communication on 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. Mystical color, like any shade of purple. Purple is the color of royalty and supreme beauty. In Homer, this color is worn by heroes and gods. In Christianity, purple is the color of Christmas and Lent, the time of waiting for great holidays.

White(color of milk and stars). In alchemy, the white color correlated with mercury and on the path of spiritual ascent meant enlightenment, revelation and insight. 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 male strength and fertility, as it correlates with the sun.

Green(grass color). Traditionally the color of hope. Green leaves are tinted with a yellow background, which means that hidden energy is being released.

Yellow(star color). Golden yellow is a symbol of spirit, wisdom and divine illumination.

The meanings of the Arcana in the layouts

Key Concepts : Healing and rebirth; wisdom and understanding of the highest interconnection of everything; hope, auspicious omens; inspiration, sensuality; esotericism and astrology.

Characteristics of a person : A person who believes in himself and his dream; idealist, self-confident and optimistic. “A star can mean a person who feels great in his own body” (R. Pollack, “Tarot Wisdom”).

Relationship characteristics : Gentle, trusting relationship; love-friendship or idealized feeling, platonic feelings. Long-distance relationships often go through this card, when for some reason people are far from each other.

sexual relations : 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 poisoned in advance ”(K. Daniels, V. Daniels, “Tarot of Love”).

Magic : Union magic. In this lasso, magic is carried out through a ritual of transition to a qualitatively new state of consciousness and relationships. The transition is accompanied by a ritual of purification, as a preparation for the subsequent initiation.

purple in magic is used to establish contacts on the border of the worlds, to communicate with guardian angels and other spirits.

White color absorbs lunar and solar energy simultaneously. In magic white useful when a new source or a sudden surge of energy and enthusiasm is needed. Used to communicate with your inner self, mentors, guardian angels. Good for rituals of passage, as well as rituals centered on the Goddess.

Pleasure : Enjoyment of Silence.

Dive: “All you have to do is become a little calmer, a little quieter. When you become effortless, calm and peaceful, all the virtues, talents and abilities manifest in your life, all float to the surface.(Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)

A possible external object of concentration is purple, stars, a golden teapot and white milk.

Advice : "Keep heading for the star." Be aware of the connection between what is "above" and what is "below". One should acquire a broader view of things in order to see in them a manifestation of cosmic harmony. Believe in yourself and look to the future with hope.

A warning:

Do not lose contact with the source of inspiration, but still remember that “stargazing and reflection inspire sentimental feelings, but emotions must be closer to the ground in order to create a balance in the perception of love” (K. Daniels, V. Daniels, “Tarot of Love” ).

QUEEN OF SWORDS

"A man absorbed in the thought of vengeance,

won't let your wounds heal."

Francis Bacon

Image

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 on which there is a burning black candle, a red cloth heart studded with needles and a bell to call the servants. The background is a heavy dark green canopy.

Possible plot

It seems that the Queen of Swords received bad news at the most inopportune time. The fingers of the right hand are convulsively clenched (there is a note in the fist?). With this hand, the Queen seems to be trying to lean on the non-existent armrest of the throne (the lady, meanwhile, is sitting on a low pouffe draped with green fabric). The green canopy behind the back forms the missing back of an imaginary throne. The lilac high collar of the dress emphasizes the proud posture of the Queen. The crown of the Queen is a wreath of ivy leaves, symbolizing determination and stamina. The proud gaze of cold eyes is directed into the distance, but she seems to look 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). By an effort of will, she forces herself not to cry (we see only one treacherous tear that escaped "through an oversight"). In the appearance of the lady, there is a mess, which is unusual for the suit of the Swords and serves as another proof that the Queen of Swords is experiencing some kind of shock. It looks like the lady was preparing for a social event, maybe a trip to the theater or a reception (classical sources say that the Queen of Swords loves dancing and entertainment). She is wearing the thinnest smoky stockings, the lady is not shod, and the peignoir hastily put on her naked body, treacherously exposing her defenseless stomach; a strand of blond hair slipped out from under the wreath. What incident disrupted her preparations for the evening? The answer lies in the portrait. The haughty gaze of the confident eyes of a man from the portrait characterizes him as a person who takes little into account the feelings of other people. A man in gray trousers and a white uniform merges with the blurry gray background of the portrait and looks more like a vision or a ghost that has arisen from dense fog (pastel colors are associated with the element of air). Or is the Queen so dimly distinguishing him through a veil of tears and rage? The focus of the picture falls on the cold steel of the sword, which is clasped 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 crossed their weapons! (At the same time, 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 unification of contradictions (the horizontal line is female energies, the vertical line is male). The portrait placed on the floor, the magic objects on the table, the half-dressed appearance - everything speaks of a spontaneous magical summoning ritual in order to take revenge on the offender. The queen demands an explanation!

Color symbolism of Arcana.

The image of this Arcana is dominated by two colors: dark green and purple.

The most common meaning green colors are hope. The green fan in the left hand of the Queen speaks of the hope for an explanation, but half-open and slightly lowered, it shows that the Queen of Swords is aware of the futility of her hopes. Green, like any other complex color, has diverse symbolism. For example, in many nations it is associated with misfortune and sadness. Dark green represents cruelty and heaviness and creates a sense of isolation. Color psychology correlates green with hardness and stability. The preference for green over other colors in the interior suggests that the Queen of Swords makes too strict demands on herself, elevating her views to the rank of laws and demanding their observance with irreconcilable consistency. The darker the green, psychologists say, the more closed the person. Green also neutralizes the effect of other colors, helps to 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 coldness of reason. Being a complex color, it has multi-layered symbolism. In the context of this plot, it means royalty, and sadness, and mystery, and an eclipse (an eclipse of feelings and reason that befell the Queen). Occultists use purple to develop abilities, in particular, telepathy and materialization. Color psychology also correlates purple with the desire for magical-erotic actions, since it manifests sensual identification with a partner. The lilac lining of the peignoir speaks of the Queen's need for tenderness and affection, a strong sense of loneliness and inner defenselessness. But the upper, purple, color of the robe symbolizes her desire to influence others herself due to conservatism and the desire to follow the norms.

The meanings of the Arcana in the layouts

Key concepts : sadness; absence, separation; loneliness. The balance of emotions and intellect allows you to solve any dilemma. Goals are achievable.

Characteristics of a person : A person focused on the power of the intellect, capable of self-control, able to make difficult decisions and ready to go to the end; open and independent. Cold. Firmness of character, turning under adverse circumstances into cruelty and vindictiveness.

Relationship characteristics : Conflict. A hopeless attempt to salvage a relationship through frank conversation. The situation calls for a final decision. Possible treason on the part of a man. For a lonely person - the need to rethink their own suffering.

sexual relations : The Queen of Swords “actually needs more than a physical connection, so she is unlikely to agree to a fleeting adventure. She is looking for a lover who is potentially capable of a long and deep relationship, and only having met such a person will she allow herself to condescend to him ”(K. Daniels, V. Daniels,“ Tarot of Love ”).

Magic : "Magic of the Black Candle". Black candles are traditionally used in harmful magic to fight the enemy. The bell is used in calling rituals. A heart pierced with needles can also be used in a summoning ritual and to harm the target. The Queen of Swords wants to make the one who made her suffer suffer.

black in magic used for parting rituals, it is the color of ending.

Purple in magic used in rituals of investigation, uncovering secrets, as well as healing the spirit and liberation from a bad past, especially from memories of rejected love.

Green in magic used to attract good luck and enhance magical abilities.

Pleasure : The pleasure of revenge.

Dive: “This world is like water, and the mind of any person is also like water. There are no steady waves, unlike water. Waves rise in the water and calm down again. Yesterday's wave is no more today, and today's wave will not be tomorrow. (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)

Immersion in purple, a possible external object of concentration - a sword that goes beyond the gray-pastel background.

Advice : Use your mind to free yourself from the power of negative emotions that create chaos. Separate truth from lies. Remember: “Loneliness is not fatal. An unwanted partner must be driven away, even at the cost of breaking one's own heart." In anticipation of a new love, remember that trust will heal the wounds of memory - open up to frank communication.

A warning : Fear the revenge of the Queen of Swords! In anger, she is dangerous and will stop at nothing. Crossroads - the place where the roads of the living and the dead cross: the crosshairs of the fan and the sword give rise to the energy of conflict, which will spread in all directions. This should be remembered, "don't throw the baby out with the water." Hate is a bad adviser.

Comments

And I'll start with one of my favorites. And then I will go, as they fall out.
HERMIT
has been sitting in this cave for a long time (the image of a refuge, shelter, and also in psychoanalysis - regressive desires and the contents of the subconscious). Wow, what a stubble has grown. The light falls outside and he blew out the candle (and it burned for a long time, there were large smudges of wax) so that he would not be noticed. He is covered and hunched over, his hands far from his genitals, which means he is holding back. The couple took shelter here recently, it’s only the very beginning, the woman is not yet open - she lies on her stomach and her arms are crossed, and the man is timid, touches his back with his fingers, not with his palm and not his chest or buttocks - a long prelude is planned. But their relationship is not spontaneous - they still captured the veil and spread it neatly. The hermit does not look at them, he is all tense. 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."
Yes, and his candle is red-brown (fire-earth, passion and suppression) - the suppression of sexual energy.

1. General meaning (feelings from the card) - patience, secrecy. Do not show feelings, continue to do what causes pain and discomfort (containment of sexual tension, hot wax, hard cold stone). An attempt to ignore obvious things, but not accepting them (arms and neck tense, veins swollen).
2. Work, career, finances (social contacts) - a person does long and firmly boring work, 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. What is chosen of their own free will. Yes, and cherished, suffered.
4. Consciousness (personal issues, psychology, motives of actions) - a person who does not respect himself, punishing for fictitious misconduct. There is no proud loneliness here, it is painful.
5. Advice (the main idea of the 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 what you are punishing yourself for?
6. Warning (shadow aspects) - someone "held a candle" on your relationship - someone knows about the hidden relationship.

QUEEN OF BOWLS
A woman sits on a marble parapet. The parapet is like a border, limiting beliefs and she 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 bit of greenery in gold speaks of sufficient strength and juiciness. Summer has just passed, autumn has not yet fully come into its own.

The man is young and strong. Below in status, position and wealth. He knelt down in front of the woman and, spreading her, fell to his chest. He is consumed by her. Captivated by her experience and passion. Captivated by the freedom that comes with maturity. He is ready to submit in order to experience everything that this woman can give.

She is gentle, caring, knows what she wants, is ready to pay for his strength and energy, is ready to teach, elevate, if he has the strength and deference to prove his devotion to her.

1. General meaning (feelings 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, suppleness and softness can have no less power 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 relationships. Adults, conscious, everyone knows what they want. Inequality only inflames more, gives unique bonuses to these relationships.
3. Consciousness (personal issues, psychology, motives of actions) - take what is necessary and what is lacking for you at the moment. It is advantageous to supplement your strength with the strength of your partner. Something is lost, something has not yet come - it can be found in another.
4. Tip (the main idea of the card in a few words) - Unequal can be mutually beneficial if consciously.
6. Warning (shadow aspects) - Different worlds, different views on the world and the surrounding reality - beyond passion there can be misunderstanding.

EIGHT OF WANDS
Under an old plane tree that grows against a high sandstone wall, a couple settled comfortably. The fruit basket 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.

Stairs against the wall indicate an open relationship, no dependence and oppression. A burning torch makes it clear that the passion has not died out. Two swallows drinking from the same cup symbolize a conscious entry into a relationship, loyalty and support.

The relationship itself, although passionate, is quite chaste - the man is dressed, while the woman has only her chest and stomach bare. They are not in a 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 (feelings from the card) - unhurried 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 for actions) - to break out of the routine just to enjoy yourself, each other. And do it slowly, completely dissolving in the here and now.
4. Tip (the main idea of the card in a few words) - Find, organize small "picnics" for yourself to enjoy.
6. Warning (shadow aspects) - Do not forget to come back, do not delay the rest - otherwise it threatens to develop into satiety.

The authors of this deck are the artists Laura Tuan and Mauro De Luca. The idea of the artists was that every person who takes the deck in their hands would recognize the fact of their sexuality. The authors believed that this is the only way we can understand and accept ourselves as we really are.

deck structure

The structure of the deck is exactly the same as any classic Tarot deck - 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The minor arcana, as usual, have four suits: Cups, Pentacles, Wands and Swords. The major arcana have standard meanings (Magician, 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 Mage has an "underground" name - Courtship. Magic Intention. Do not forget that the deck is specific not only in terms of its belonging to erotica - here we are also talking about Magic. Of course, not in its pure form, not in conjuring yourself with some kind of ritual narrowed, but about the magic of natural, natural, natural. But everything would be very simple if it were only about natural things - for experienced tarologists, connoisseurs of symbolism and other esotericists, in the deck you can find many clues with a deeper and more mysterious meaning. But for the average user, these Magic of Pleasure Tarot values will most likely not be useful.

Principles of working with a deck

have their own unique specifics, but at the same time they do not diverge 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 an ordinary tool for viewing, for example, work and business, and - to look very, very deep into the soul of a person and into interpersonal relationships. With the help of the Magic of Delights 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, let's take the Tower lasso. A very interesting map. In the classical interpretation, it will point us to destruction, to a fall from the very top, but, of course, not fatal, because, having destroyed one, we will build a new one, another. In Tarot Magic of Delights, this lasso is drawn with three people: a woman who is in an act of love with a man, and another man who swings an ax in the background - either at a 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 point? So what do we have? A 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, clearly, colorfully and with meaning. Therefore, this deck wins over many others. In modern decks, you don’t often see such a combination of theory, logic, and unique drawing.

At first glance at the Magic of Delights Tarot deck, it may seem that the drawings on the cards are too frank. But the images are more attractive than vulgar. Artists Mauro De Luca and Laura Tuan conveyed all the power of sexual energy and tried to reflect in the images the concept of the union of male and female 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 keeper of comfort in the house. It is she who fills a man with energy that allows him to accomplish great things.

Fortune telling on the Tarot of Delights is considered one of the most powerful, as it refers to sexual energy, which magicians and esotericists have always recognized as one of the main driving forces in a human being.

Card interpretation

There are 78 cards in any Tarot deck, which are divided into Major and Minor Arcana. 22 Major Arcana can be imagined as a cycle in which the tarologist moves - from the uncertainty of the situation and problems to harmony and the completion of the next cycle of life.

Meaning of the Minor Arcana

When fortune-telling, the Minor Arcana complement the alignment and direct the interpretation in the right direction. Only relying on the values of cards of different suits, combining their answers and drawing parallels between them and the Major Arcana, you can 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 revealing questions about the actions necessary to achieve the goals. Like the wind that blows 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 your case.
Pentacles are associated with the elements of the Earth and represent material values. In the layout, Pentacles can give answers to questions about promotion at work, receiving an inheritance. In the Sexual Magic Tarot deck, Pentacles symbolize the strength of relationships and the ability to choose between potential partners.
Cups - emotions and feelings. Facing the water element, cards of this suit are guides to the world of hidden desires, fantasies and sensual pleasures. The abundance of Cups in a direct position in the layout predicts joyful events and the peak of emotional upsurge. 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 readiness 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.

Meaning of the Major Arcana

If the Minor Arcana only supplement 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 a person to a specific problem or event.

The jester is a very controversial card in the layout. The jester's staff depicted in the figure means hermitage and travel, as well as the rejection of material attachments and generally accepted judgments.

The main meanings of the lasso Jester are the desire to get away from the past, burn bridges, go on a journey for new love. The jester believes in his goal. He will find an illusory love that will bring him new, free from the boring routine, emotions and sensual pleasures.

The image on the map is mesmerizing. The man depicted here speaks with all his appearance about the knowledge that he acquired on the way through Cups, Pentacles, Swords and Wands. The magician warns that the fortuneteller will soon encounter a manipulator and tempter who pursues only his own benefit.

The main meaning of the card: an experienced lover, a willingness to lead people, a flaring passion, the ability to please and charm.

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, let go. This card in the Tarot of Sexual Magic shows a woman the image that she must strive for in order to achieve her goals.

The high priestess teaches patience, points out 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 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, the creation of something new (including the conception of a child) - these are the main meanings of the 3rd Major Arcana.

Emperor (4)

The abundance of red flowers on the map expresses militancy and will rather than passion. Behind the Emperor, you can see a sculpture of a woman pouring water. This is a sign that the desires of a woman are hidden behind the actions of a majestic man.

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, the Lovers also speak of choice. But here the choice is put before a person by fate, not by people. Cupid can shoot anyone at any time, and the fortuneteller will have to choose: to sacrifice the target for the sake of momentary pleasure or to resist the temptation.

Meanings: temptations, a test of willpower and perseverance, the opportunity to find out your true goals, faith or betrayal.

Chariot (7)

A man is depicted on the card, his posture shows that he does not want to part with his beloved, but this must be done. The chariot symbolizes a fateful journey or event. But fate requires the questioner to give up for a while what is so dear to the heart.

Meaning: business trip, moving, abstinence for the sake of achieving a goal, support, loyalty.

Justice (8)

A girl in a blue dress holds the sword of Justice in her hands. Blue on the map is a symbol of purity of thoughts and rational thinking. The snake on the sword says that liars and unscrupulous people will be punished.

The meaning of the card: harmony, finding the truth and exposing lies, winning in a dispute or in court.

Hermit (9)

The candle depicted on the card is a symbol of the human soul. The hermit looks at the stump and does not understand what to do next. He is lost, and his soul is about to go 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 action. Finding new meaning.

Wheel of Fortune (10)

It is believed that the girl who first attracted the gaze 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 to part with fettering 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.

Hanged Man (12)

The woman on the map has completely withdrawn into herself, she does not see a 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: the desired man or a career.

Death (13)

This map is concise. She predicts freedom through renunciation of something. Death indicates the need to part with past ideas about yourself and your partner. However, do not be afraid of the name, Death rarely predicts physical death.

Temperance (14)

A woman is trying to properly mix liquids in two vessels in order to get some kind of drink. She is focused and understands that in order to achieve the goal, you need to take your 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)

The satyr on the map is the embodiment of lust, greed, anger and envy. The card personifies all the basest things in a person and warns of manipulation both on the part of another person and on the part of the fortuneteller himself. Don't fall into the trap of temptation.

Usually this card appears in a spread when a person has ignored the advice of Death or the Devil. The tower says that painful events are coming and cannot be averted. Perhaps the questioner will be convicted of treason.

Star (17)

The girl on the card radiates peace, she is ready to accept and forgive. The star follows the destruction suffered in the Tower and the Devil, and symbolizes newfound patronage and a clear path to success.

Wine in the hands of one girl is a veil before her eyes, which does not allow to see the real picture of what is happening. A mirror in the hands of another speaks of possible magic, love spells or a curse. The moon warns of the inability of the fortuneteller to see the truth and calls for abandoning 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 Rebirth (20)

Judgment in the Tarot Magic of Delights means not just the end of a black streak in life, but a great and joyful meeting with your happiness. It is noteworthy that the card does not speak of acquiring anything, but of a moment of insight. The man finally realizes that he already has everything he was looking for.

Universal love and boundless happiness. This is a card about how people reconcile, how their souls are united together 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 of 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 mind to interpret the images on the cards.

As Sigmund Freud said: “We do not choose each other by chance and meet only those who already exist in our subconscious.”

That is why you should not go to a fortuneteller or magician, who may turn out to be charlatans, but cast aside doubts and look deep into your personality. Tarot cards The Magic of Pleasure will not let you get lost.

Arcana XVII - Stars

“Love is a beacon raised above the storm,
Not fading in darkness and fog.

Love is the star that sailor
Determines a place in the ocean ... "

Shakespeare. Sonnet 116

“Only one pearl can be compared with it,

Whose delicate color is admirable.

She is an example for any comparison,

In her beauty - the limit of natural forces,

In her eyes - the radiance of the stars,

They give birth to invisible spirits,

Human eyes spirits amaze,

And all their hearts were kindled by their face.

And love is on her face,

But no one dares to stare."

Dante Alighieri

The Ace of Swords Tarot Magic of Pleasure is a very active, energetic and at the same time sensual card. On the map, we see a woman in a rather aggressively sexy outfit, who, in the course of a love game, ties a man to a bed. He looks relaxed, his eyes are turned away from the partner and covered, and his head lies freely. Everything in him suggests that his consciousness is far away at the moment, he completely trusts the one that binds his hands. It is interesting that the entire space in which the action of the lasso unfolds is made in delicate green tones, not at all associated with love and passion. In this case, the green color reflects the state of consciousness of a man, peaceful and passive, enjoying his inaction and the very impossibility of acting.

The woman of the Ace of Swords Tarot Magic of Pleasure, in turn, acts energetically, her posture indicates that she is probably not doing this for the first time. The expression on her face and the look fixed on the hand of the man she is about to tie to the bed indicate that she is doing this completely consciously, her attention is focused precisely on what she is doing at this moment.

On the lasso of the Ace of Swords of the Tarot Magic of Pleasure, we see how one of the archetypal situations unfolds: a man is in oblivion, immersed in his voluptuous dreams, and a woman at this time not only acts as a passionate lover, but also tries to seize certain power, think over a strategy behavior and, ultimately, "tie the hands" of your partner in such a way that he even enjoys it!

Now let's pay attention to the table in the foreground of the lasso. A small square table, covered with a white cloth, looks somewhat like a traditional magical altar. On it are magical attributes: a red thread for knot magic, scissors, a dagger and a heart pierced by a needle that could be used as a volt. The sword pointed across the table to the bed indicates that what is happening on it was the embodiment of someone's will, executed with the help of magic. When diagnosing a magical effect, the Ace of Swords of the Tarot of Sexual Magic says a definite “yes”. In certain situations, this can also be interpreted not only as a direct magical effect, but also as a female deceit that helped the heroine of this lasso to take her position.

Relations:

Boundless trust;

Total control of one partner over another,

The egocentrism of one of the partners reduced the initiative of the other to zero,

Partner manipulation.

Advice:

Open your eyes and see if you are being manipulated, if your hands are tied?

Pay attention to whether you are sacrificing the interests and desires of your partner for the sake of your whims?

If your partner has become too passive and lack of initiative, perhaps you should “loosen your grip” and let him act on his own?

Magic:

love spell,

sexy binding,

Strong frostbite.

Two of Cups

The Two of Cups Tarot of Sexual Magic is a very gentle and romantic card. On this lasso we see a man and a woman making love in the bosom of nature. The map is made in muted colors, in the background we see a landscape covered with a light haze. The lovers are naked, but covered with a light veil: they want to hide from prying eyes the secret of their unity, intercourse, full of spiritual intimacy and tenderness. A man and a woman are deeply attached to each other: even at the moment of bodily intimacy, the man does not let go of the hands of his beloved. He leans towards his beloved to kiss her, the lovers are not in a hurry, they enjoy every moment spent together.

The woman - the heroine of the Two of Cups of the Tarot Magic of Pleasure - is passionate and sexy, she openly calls her man, not hiding her sensuality, she strives to meet him with all her being. The man, despite his active position, is more restrained. This may indicate a relationship in which a seductive woman plays a leading role, imperceptibly guiding her partner.

In the foreground we see a stone on which lies a box with petals and a goblet with a wonderful drink, on the surface of which a flower floats. All this symbolizes the heyday of the relationship, when two lovers are at the peak of emotions, when love is born in their reunion, which will be with them even when the first passions subside. Next to the goblet we see a beetle crawling towards the lovers. The beetle symbolizes the ability of a person to survive difficult periods in a relationship, betrayal, betrayal and, having been reborn again, be open to the gift of love.

Page of Cups

The Page of Cups of the Tarot Magic of Pleasure is impulsive, it contains both confusion of thoughts and a storm of emotions breaking out. The Page of Cups is represented by a man who is in the prime of life, he is full of energy and thirst to love and be loved. But at the moment, a real drama is unfolding in his personal life. We see how his emotions and conflicting desires overwhelm him: his shirt is unbuttoned on his chest - where his warm heart beats, and his hand angrily clutches a letter, perhaps not the first one written this evening. A bowl with a marvelous dessert is pushed aside - now the hero of the Two of Cups is not this, his mind is overwhelmed with thoughts of betrayal and terrible suspicions. On the table of the hero, as well as in his soul, there is chaos: the inkwell is overturned, pieces of dessert from the goblet are carelessly scattered nearby.

In the background of the Two of Cups Tarot of Sexual Magic, we see a man and a woman kissing under a full moon. It is difficult to say whether they exist in reality or whether it is a figment of the imagination of a jealous person. Perhaps all this is just the machinations of the full moon and bad superstitions, which are symbolized by the black cat, which turned crumpled letters - the fruits of the hero's mental suffering - into their toys. Probably, the hero will still send a letter to his beloved, but what will happen next? The Two of Cups of the Tarot Magic of Pleasure often portends a call or letter from a loved one, however, most likely it will be filled with strong and ambiguous emotions.

deck structure

Principles of working with a deck

have their own unique specifics, but at the same time they do not diverge 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 as an ordinary tool for viewing, for example, work and business, and look very, very deep into a person’s soul and into interpersonal relationships. With the help of the Magic of Delights 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, let's take the Tower lasso. A very interesting map. In the classical interpretation, it will point us to destruction, to a fall from the very top, but, of course, not fatal, because, having destroyed one, we will build a new one, another. In Tarot Magic of Delights, this lasso is drawn with three people: a woman who is in an act of love with a man, and another man who swings an ax in the background - either at a 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 point? So what do we have? A 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, clearly, colorfully and with meaning. Therefore, this deck wins over many others. In modern decks, you don’t often see such a combination of theory, logic, and unique drawing.

And the last. As usual, you will ask: what questions does the deck answer and what layouts can be done on it? I will answer: any questions and any layouts. But, since the deck is thematic, it will, of course, best show the relationship between people, be able to give a chic analysis of the personality and its secret desires, reveal all the sexual aspects of relationships, and analyze psychological and mental problems. I would not use this deck to find out how the trip will go, how to get a promotion at work, I would not look at health issues. In general, it is important in which hands the deck falls! If skillful and professional, it will work 100%!
