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.

CROSSED-KEYS

Crossed Keys

Access · Shared knowledge

Two keys cross at the Hierophant’s feet, below the seated figure and between the foreground figures. No visible door is being opened by them.

Keys can suggest conditions of entry; crossing makes them a pair. They do not establish possession of truth. Who may enter and how access is obtained remain concrete questions.

The Hierophant

Two keys cross at the Hierophant’s feet, below the seated figure and between the foreground figures. No visible door is being opened by them. Keys join the raised hand, staff, and foreground people in a teaching scene. They are not its whole story and confer no automatic legitimacy on institutional authority. Placement and actual access must be distinguished.

Hotspots come from this published card; never transplanted onto another deck.
