Major arcana

0 Hot Dog

 
 

This dude is a hot dog: Ready to jump first and figure it out later. A free spirit who trusts themselves and the adventure. Take a chance.


1 magic masala

You know who can summon things up and make stuff happen? This Magic Masala, that’s who. When this card shows up, it means you are ready to manifest and take action towards a goal. Unless it is in a blockage position. Then it just means you are being a narcissist.


2 Mystery taste

 
 

That feeling in your gut, that intuition . . . that’s what the card asks you to embrace. All that witchy, internal, arcane knowledge needs expression NOW! Unless it is upside down. Then maybe you are afraid of finding out how you really feel.


3 truffle

Living harmoniously, luxuriously, sensually, surrounded by beauty, creativity, and abundance. Isn’t that what a truffle is all about? This card asks you to embrace feminine vitality and a nurturing spirit. But you have to work for it. Watch out if this card is in a blockage position: some outside female influence may be trying to disrupt your good vibes.


4 steak

The steak is on the plate. Bossy, in charge, powerful, and making sure those potatoes stay in line. This meat is good at taking the lead, but sometimes can be a little stuck in its ways. The steak could be you, or you just maybe need a little authority in your life. Then again, watch out that someone else isn’t trying to overcook you or push you off the plate.


5 Burt

Burt is mature. He is as traditional as cheddar and onion chips (which are the number one selling flavor of crisps in the UK). So, status quo. He might also be a little bit stuck in his ways, so be careful if this comes up in a blockage position in you layout. He may also signify a sort of guide or guru. Let the cheddar lead the way . . . but only if you don’t mind following all the rules. Or maybe you just ditch the boring old cheese?


6 the lovers

What is love? This card invites you to think about it. Feeling whole? Sexual attraction? Romantic ideal? Craving partnership? Just like shrimp and green sauce make a great pair (at least in Thailand) you may find this card in a layout when you are seeking answers to your love questions. Should you commit? Dip your tail into the sauce? It all depends on your goals of love, wholeness, and happiness.


7 chariot

Take the wheel! You can be in control of this situation. You can also look around and see if someone else has grabbed the reins and is trying to impose their will on you. If you want to drive off into the night in search of adventure or success, what is stopping you? In order to find it, though, keep the car on the road and follow the traffic signs. And stock up on road snacks.


8 Strong

What is strength, really? Maybe it is courage, compassion, or tolerance? Self awareness is a really powerful attribute which comes in handy when trying to figure out whether you are giving too much of yourself and not getting any emotional payoff. If you want the spice in the end, you will have to be tolerant and forgiving of the burn you get from biting into the pepper. Be compassionate to yourself and others.


9 hermit crab

The crab featured on this bag is not a hermit. It isn’t hunkered down and secluding itself inside a conveniently available shell. But maybe you should think about doing that. Protect your soft parts from the outside world. Go inside and figure out what you want. Maybe the answer will come to you if you look within and stay out of the waves crashing all around you. Alternatively, if you are worried that you are burrowing way too deep into the sand, you probably are.


10 wheel

Spinning the wheel of fortune, you never know where it will land. It’s all luck and chance. Like would you have ever thought that such a thing as a “Cola Sour” potato chip would exist? No. You didn’t. But you have to admit that it’s pretty special. Whether you think “Cola Sour” is unfortunate—or the best thing ever—is pretty much up to chance. Get used to it. Stay open and flexible and everything will be ok.


11 voodoo

If someone messes with you, how do you respond? Do you build and effigy and stick pins in it for revenge? That’s justice, right? Probably not, but the intent is solid: You want equality, fairness, and harmony. You want the scales of justice in balance. For that to happen you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Own up to your role in any situation and examine whether you truly deserve what you are getting.


12 lobster

Think of your question from the Lobster’s perspective. It is hanging there, with its claws clamped down on a fishing line or some seaweed. The waves are splashing it all around in different directions, but it is floating. Every time the tide comes in or out, the Lobster is pulled to face a new direction. Those weird, black eyes spin around on their stalks and the Lobster can see something from an angle it maybe never considered before. Try it.
