Alright, let’s talk about them tarot cards, the suits and all that stuff. You know, like, what comes first and what comes after. Folks always gettin’ it mixed up, but it ain’t that hard, really.

So, first off, we got them Wands. Yeah, like sticks, fire sticks, I reckon. They’s about gettin’ things done, passion, you know, that fire in your belly. Like when you really wanna bake a pie, that’s Wand energy, I guess. Always burnin’ bright, them Wands.
Then comes the Cups. Think about water, you know? Flowin’ rivers, the rain, that kinda thing. Cups is all about feelings, love, and all that mushy stuff. Like when you’re feelin’ all warm and fuzzy inside, that’s Cups talkin’. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, just like the weather, Cups are.
- Wands – Fire, gettin’ things done
- Cups – Water, feelin’s and emotions
After Cups, we got them sharp Swords. Ooh, them Swords, they can be tricky. They’re about thinkin’, talkin’, and sometimes, fightin’ too, I reckon. Like when you’re arguin’ with someone, or when you gotta make a tough decision, that’s Swords territory. Sharp and quick, they are.
And last but not least, we got the Pentacles. You know, them coins, money, stuff you can hold in your hand. Pentacles are about the earth, about bein’ practical, and about havin’ enough to get by. Like when you’re workin’ hard in the garden, or when you’re savin’ up for a new chicken coop, that’s Pentacles at work. Good, solid earth energy.
- Swords – Air, thinkin’ and talkin’
- Pentacles – Earth, money and stuff
So, there you have it. Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles. That’s the order. Just like the seasons, kinda. Fire comes first, then water, then air, and then the earth. Makes sense, don’t it?
Now, some folks get all fancy with their tarot readin’. They talk about trees of life and all sorts of complicated stuff. But honestly, if you just remember the basics, you’ll do just fine. Like, if you pull a Wand, you know it’s about takin’ action. If you pull a Cup, it’s about listenin’ to your heart. You get the picture.
And don’t worry if you don’t know all the card meanings right away. It takes time, like learnin’ to bake a good biscuit. You just gotta practice and pay attention to what them cards are tellin’ you. They got stories to tell, them cards, if you just listen.
Tarot for beginners ain’t so scary. Start simple. Pull one card, see what it means. Then pull another, and another. Pretty soon, you’ll be readin’ them cards like a book. And remember, it’s all about intuition too. You gotta trust your gut, you know? Like when you know a storm’s comin’ just by the way the wind feels.
So, go on, get yourself a deck of tarot cards and give it a try. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, everyone does at first. Just have fun with it and see what happens. You might be surprised what them cards can tell ya. And always remember the order: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. That’s the key, I tell ya, the key to unlockin’ the mysteries.
And one more thing, don’t go spendin’ all your money on fancy decks. A simple deck will do just fine. It’s not about the pictures, it’s about the feelin’s, the energy, the message. You know, like when you can tell a good apple just by lookin’ at it, not because it’s got a fancy sticker on it.

Anyways, that’s all I got to say about them tarot suits. Just remember the order, trust your gut, and have fun. And who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to tell me my fortune someday!
