Tarot & Alchemy

The Vessels suit and Splendor Solis
10

In this divination I utilize the tarot deck Terra Volatile1 to explore inquires submitted from readers. I draw exclusively from a fifth suit unique to this deck, the Vessels, an alchemy inspired set of cards that focus on the elemental quintessence. In the readings, I reference alchemical symbolism from the manuscript Splendor Solis alongside traditional tarot interpretations for insight and guidance.

Reading #1

  • Question: Where should I place more of my attention and focus as I prepare to enter my crone phase of life?

  • Card drawn: X of Vessels

X of Vessels and plate 16 from Splendor Solis

Reading #2

  • Question: What is important for me to understand about this period of stagnancy in my life?

  • Card drawn: IV of Vessels

IV of Vessels and plate 7 and 8 from Splendor Solis

Reading #3

  • Question: How can I get clearer on where to put my energies? To know what’s signal and what’s noise?

  • Card drawn: IX of Vessels

IX of Vessels and plate 15 from Splendor Solis

Join the conversation:

  • What do you think of the vessels suit in this deck?

  • Do alchemical themes pair well with tarot?

  • Have any thoughts, inspirations or insights you’d like to share about the cards drawn?
