TAROVERIE / COLORS
Tarot colors
Color is one part of a card’s visual language. Find the color first, then read the object, gesture and surrounding scene.
These nine entries compare colors in the Rider–Waite–Smith deck. Associations vary by deck, tradition and printing; a color alone is not a prediction.

CHAINS
Chains
Attachment · Constraints
Chains in the Devil connect the figures’ necks to a pedestal. Drooping links, people, and the figure above form a scene of attachment.
A connection may involve restriction, benefit, habit, or circumstances. Loose-looking links do not establish that leaving is easy, and must not become grounds for blaming a controlled person.
