Bite-sized lessons for Tarot beginners
Created by Theresa Reed, The Tarot Lady

Welcome to Tarot Bytes – the tarot podcast for people who want to learn tarot…but don’t have all day. Short, bite-sized tarot lessons.

Episode 56: Four of Swords

There are times when I’ll pull out the Four of Swords and the querent will get super uncomfortable. They assume it means death. It is not hard to see how they come to that conclusion. After all, the figure is lying on a casket! But that’s not what the Four of Swords is all about. Instead, it’s a card that symbolizes a time of rest and recuperation after battle. In this little tarot tutorial, we’ll examine some of the symbols behind the Four of Swords and possible interpretations.

One of the books I mention in this is Tarot and the Tree of Life: Finding Everyday Wisdom in the Minor Arcana by Isabel Radow Kliegman. It’s a fabulous book and one worth adding to your tarot library.

Grab your favorite deck, put in your earbuds, and dive in!
