The Deck
The Rider–Waite–Smith deck, an iconic 78-card set fundamental to modern tarot practice, is richly imbued with symbolic imagery deeply rooted in ancient mysticism and esoteric traditions that have transcended time and culture. This exquisite deck is thoughtfully divided into two main parts: the 22 Major Arcana cards, which vividly portray profound spiritual themes, archetypal journeys, and powerful transformations that echo the cycles of life and death, and the 56 Minor Arcana cards, which are organized into four elemental suits—Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles—each reflecting varied dimensions of everyday life, emotions, intellect, and material concerns. Within each suit, there are numbered cards from Ace through Ten, accompanied by court cards representing distinct personality archetypes, lending depth and complexity to readings. Our intimate three-card readings draw inspiration from this evocative deck to explore the intricate layers of past, present, and future, or alternatively to illuminate the interconnected realms of mind, body, and spirit, thereby unlocking the deep-seated Appalachian-Gothic mysteries artfully woven throughout The Fifth Card universe.
