WONDERLAND TAROT

Alice’s journey through the Suit of Wands is a development of her instinct, inspiration, and inner power. She learns to trust her instincts which she comes to understand are deep body-knowing impulses, drawn from her lived experience and the wisdom of life. Her inspirations become a sacred flame within her which she draws on to illuminate her path with creativity and vision. She discovers that adventure calls for action and courage. Along the way, she learns to contain her passion and to respond rather than react. She stands in her strength without needing to prove it. No longer pulled into quarrels or scattered desires, she tames the beasts of doubt and insecurity within. Her fire becomes focused. Her instincts become insight. Her energy becomes owned and embodied.

The Suit of Pentacles is a relationship with earth through which Alice matures in her relationships to her body, craft, and the material world. She learns that caring for her health and well-being is the foundation for all she builds. Her wealth builds through the development of her skills, resourcefulness, and by shaping her talents into a craft. She discovers that wealth is the ability to care for herself, personal sovereignty to choose her own path, and  the capacity to sustain a livelihood through creating something of value. She experiences the challenges of shared resources, the tensions of trade, and the betrayals that money can bring. She learns that success is not just accumulation but wise stewardship and family. Her skills and personal resources become her anchor. Her work becomes her offering. Her life becomes rooted in wealth, health and physical stability that is owned, received and shared.

The Suit of Swords in the Tarot represents the intellect, communication, truth, and the often double-edged nature of thought. It speaks to conflict, clarity, decisions, and the unseen battles of the mind. For Alice, this suit mirrors her journey through Wonderland’s puzzles and paradoxes, navigating logic, cutting through self delusion, and confronting inner turmoil. The Swords challenge her to think critically, question reality, and face uncomfortable truths. They reflect how thoughts shape action, and how actions, in turn, shape our mental landscape. Alice’s path through the Swords is one of discernment, learning that liberation comes not just from knowing, but from understanding and choosing wisely.

Alice's journey through the suit of cups sees her wandering through the terrain of emotion like one moving through mist and moonlight, tender, intuitive, and alert. She learns that her emotions are not obstacles to overcome but rivers to navigate, carrying messages from the deeper self. Rather than resisting or clinging to any feeling, she softens into them, allowing their wisdom to flow through her. In this watery realm, she listens, not literally, but actively, with a presence that honours nuance and subtlety. Her emotions become guides, not rulers, informing her judgments, not distorting them. She learns to trust the quiet tug of intuition, to follow the current of feeling without losing her centre. The universe, she discovers, is a feeling one and her emotions are its sacred language, offering keys, signs, and insight.
