Tarot Terror Trivia Quiz

Answer: Cups

Cards in the "cups" suit always indicate that the effects of the card will occur spiritually, emotionally, or psychologically. They are considered feminine in the yin/yang sense of feminine, not that they have anything to do with women.

Answer: Pentacles

Pentacle cards always indicate practical, material, common-sense kinds of energies. You can think of them as "hobbit cards". The pentacle is used as a symbol of hardworking, practical energies because of the relationship of the pentacle to the earth in some forms of occult practice.

Answer: Knights

Knights mean action. Simple as that. Every suit means a different kind of action. The Knight of Wands means aggressive/sexual action; Swords means an action requiring analysis or intellect, for example a court case; Cups imply an action requiring emotional analysis or empathy; Pentacles represent an action in the everyday, or suggests that the action should be approached from a common sense view.

Answer: Court Cards

They are called court cards. They work a bit differently from other cards, often times implying events external to the person. Face cards are what you call them in a normal deck of cards; baccarat is a game, and the "Pecto regalis" I just made up. Sorry.

Answer: Minor Arcana

The answer is Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana are the "named cards" you are probably more familier with such as Death, Moon, and the Hanged Man. Optimus Prime is the leader of the Transformers.

Answer: Ten of Swords

The Ten of Swords is sometimes expressed with the hyperbole, "living death". It exemplifies self-defeat and over-rationalization. Not positive! In case you're wondering about the rest, the Six of Pentacles is sometimes called a "card of fortune", it sometimes refers to wealth and material power.

The Hanged Man card refers to introspection and Death, despite what you may think if you saw "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors", doesn't mean death at all. It simply means a big change.

Answer: The King of Swords

The ruling spirit of a card has to do with it's suit, not really with what kind of card it is. Sylph is an air elemental and rules the Sword suit. Pentacles are ruled by Gnome; Wands are ruled by Salamander; and Cups (though not appearing in the question) are ruled by Undine. Not all tarot decks or practitioners use elementals in their readings.

Answer: The Angel

The Fool is actually a card, it symbolizes the beginning of something. The Wheel of Fortune is good luck. The Devil is also a card, which symbolizes bondage (something holding you back), ignorance, or evil materialism. The Angel is the odd one out.

Answer: A rest.

The Four of Swords often depicts a soldier at rest after battle, dead, or meditating (depending on your deck). This card represents an absence of battle, a time to regain your strength and prepare for what is ahead.

Answer: Position 3 (directly below the center cards)

In a Celtic cross, two cards are in the center, four cards are at each cardinal position around the two, and four others are on the right hand side. The four cards on the outside work in a clockwise pattern starting at the bottom, with the card furthest down being the distant past and the card at the right being the farthest in the future.

The answer is Position 3, directly below the cards.
