Well howdy there young'uns, y'all reckon ya ever heard a' them cards that tell ya your future? They're called tarot, and let me tell ya, they're somethin' else. See back in my day, we didn't have no fancy schmancy technology to tell us what was comin' ahead, we had to rely on good ol' fashioned intuition and maybe a deck of cards if we was lucky. Tarot cards are like that, but with a whole lotta mysticism and symbolism thrown in for good measure. Some folks say they can predict love, loss, wealth, and all kinds of other things, but personally, I take 'em with a grain of salt. They's for entertainment plain an' simple.
Now for these here Wild West Tarot Cards! They's mighty special 'cause they showcase all them good ol' tales of livin' and lovin' out yonder in the west. It's all in the details too, from them dusty ol' saloons to them rough and tumble back-rooms. And let me tell ya, as a hairy and handsome cowboy myself, I know a thing or two 'bout them sexy stories that would leave ya breathless! So, gather 'round my young cowpokes, and let me spin ya a yarn 'bout the wide open prairies of the past while we sit 'round a campfire.
They was five big ol' sections ya see, the major arcana, the suit of wands, the suit of cups, the suit of swords, and the suit of pentacles.
Now, the major arcana was the big kahunas, the ones that packed a real punch. They were the cards like the Devil, the Tower, and Death. Those were the ones that could really send shivers down your spine.
Then there was the suit of wands. These were the cards that were all about action and taking charge. They were the ones for the go-getters, the ones who weren't afraid to take risks and blaze their own trail.
The suit of cups, on the other hand, was all about emotions and relationships. These were the cards for the lovers and the dreamers, the ones who wore their hearts on their sleeves and had a soft spot for a good romance.
Now, the suit of swords, that was the tough guy suit. These cards were all about conflict and strife, the ones for the fighters and the ones who weren't afraid to stand up for what they believed in.
And finally, we come to the suit of pentacles. These were the cards for the money-makers, the ones who knew how to get rich and stay that way. They were the ones for the business owners and the ones who knew how to make a deal.
So there you have it folks, Trusty Rusty's rundown of the wild west tarot. Now who's ready for another round of whiskey and some good ol' fashioned campfire stories?"

The Major Arcana
Now, let's talk about them Tarot cards, and these here Arcana, seein' as how they got us some mighty fine lookin' folks on 'em.
The Fool

Suit of Wands
Now, these here wands represent passion and inspiration, and let me tell ya, I've had plenty of both in my day. I reckon some of y'all might be curious 'bout what I'm talkin' 'bout, so let me paint ya a picture.
Back in my youth, I used to frequent a lot of them saloons and back-rooms, and let me tell ya, I saw some things that would make your head spin. I remember this one time in Dodge City, I was in this saloon and I saw two fellas goin' at it like rabbits in the back room. One of 'em was riding the other like a bronco, and the sounds they was makin'… well, let's just say I had to take a cold shower after watchin' that.
But back to them wands. They represent creativity and energy, and I've had plenty of both on the prairies. I've had some wild times with some cowpokes out on the range, if ya catch my drift. I remember this one young fella, he couldn't have been more than 18, but he had a body like a Greek god. We spent a whole night under the stars, and let's just say he left me breathless.
And let's not forget about them bars and flophouses. I've seen some pretty wild things in my time, and some of 'em involved wands, if ya know what I mean. I remember this one time in Cheyenne, I was in this flophouse and I overheard two fellas goin' at it in the next room. The sounds they was makin'… well, let's just say I had to take a whiskey shot after listenin' to that.
So there ya have it, young'uns. The suit of wands in the Wild West tarot deck represents passion, energy, creativity, and let's just say… some pretty hot and steamy nights. Now, who's up for some s'mores?
Suit of Cups
I've got a tale now to tell ya 'bout them there Cups in the Wild West Tarot Deck.
Now, the Cups represent the suit of emotions and relationships, and I gotta say, they're just as complex and unpredictable as the human heart itself. Take this one time I was ridin' through the prairie, and I met this fella named Jack. He was smooth talkin' and had a body that could make any cowboy's heart race faster than a stallion. We hit it off right away, and before I knew it, we were sittin' by the campfire, sippin' whiskey and talkin' 'bout our deepest hopes and fears.
That's the thing 'bout Cups, ya see. They're all 'bout intimacy and connection. Sometimes they lead ya to the sweetest moments of your life, like when I found myself in a bar in Dodge City and met a fella named Caleb. He was a tender-hearted soul who knew just how to touch me in all the right ways. It was like he could see straight into my soul, and I knew right then and there that I'd never forget him.
Other times, Cups can lead ya right into trouble. Like when I was in El Paso and crossed paths with a fella named Fernando. His eyes were the color of the desert sand, and his touch was like fire on my skin. But he had a temper on him like a rattlesnake, and before I knew it, we was in a brawl that left us both battered and bloody.
But that's the thing 'bout the Cups, y'all. They're all 'bout takin' risks and feelin' your way through the world. They might lead ya to fortune or they might lead ya to ruin, but either way, they'll always lead ya to a place where ya can open up your heart and let yourself be vulnerable.
So the next time you're dealin' with the Cups, just remember this old cowboy's words: hold on tight and enjoy the ride, 'cause it's gonna be one hell of a wild one.
Suit of Swords
Now, these swords ain't just any ordinary swords, no sirree. They're sharp as a knife and deadly as a rattlesnake. But enough about that, let me tell ya 'bout the real juicy stuff.
The sword suit represents the mental and intellectual aspects of our lives. It's all about using your brainpower to overcome adversity in the Wild West. And let me tell ya, I've seen them cowboys out on the prairies usin' their swords to cut through all kinds of challenges. It takes more than brawn to survive out here, you gotta have brains too.
Now, let's talk about the cards themselves. Each one has its own unique story to tell. There's the Ten of Swords, which shows a cowboy layin' on the ground with ten swords in his back. It may seem gruesome, but it's a reminder that sometimes we gotta take a hard hit for the greater good.
Then there's the Page of Swords. She's a spunky little filly, always wanting to learn and explore. She may not have the experience of the older cowpokes, but she's got a sharp mind and a quick wit.
And don't even get me started on the Queen of Swords. She's a fierce woman, with a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. She don't take no crap from nobody, and she ain't afraid to speak her mind. She's the kind of woman that'll have ya beggin' for mercy in the bedroom.
But enough of my ramblin', you boys get to bed now. Just remember, swords may be sharp, but they ain't got nothin' on a cowboy's wit and charm.
Suit of Pentacles
Y'all ready to hear about the suit of Pentacles in the Wild West Tarot deck? Now, this here suit represents wealth, prosperity, and material things. And let me tell ya, I've seen some wealthy cowpokes in my day. winks
Now, when I see the pentacles suit in the cards, I think about all the fancy clothes, jewelry, and gold nuggets that some of them city folk carry around. They think they're so high and mighty with their big ol' mansions and silver coins. But let me tell ya, money can't buy ya everything.
In the saloons and back-rooms of the Wild West, I've seen some cowpokes flauntin' their wealth, buying drinks for everyone and struttin' around like they own the place. But what really gets me going is when they start to show off their fancy clothes. I've seen some fellas wearin' silk vests and shiny top hats that look like they ain't never seen a day's work in their life. But then there's the other side of the pentacles suit.
Sometimes, cowpokes come into town with nothing but the clothes on their back and a rusty old revolver. And let me tell ya, there's something mighty sexy about a man who can survive on the prairie with nothin' but grit and determination. When you see a fella wearin' dusty old boots and patched-up chaps, you know he's a real cowboy.
So, whether you're a wealthy city slicker or a rough and tumble cowboy, the pentacles suit has something for everyone. And who knows, maybe you'll find a special someone who can appreciate both sides of the suit. Ain't nothin' hotter than a fella who can look good in fancy clothes and still know how to ride a horse. grins
