Tranquil Night Wisdom Tarot Cards

Mythology, born at the dawn of chaos, resembles the brilliant prologue of human imagination's dream, serving as the spark of hope that illuminates human civilization.

Looking back to when Pangu separated heaven and earth, as the world first took shape, immortals and spirits emerged, each displaying their unique abilities; birds and beasts showed their prowess too, pioneering and cultivating, jointly creating all worldly phenomena. Pangu stood between heaven and earth, supporting the Nine Heavens, which became the dwelling place of immortals and divine beasts - the Divine Realm. This realm corresponds to the Wands suit in tarot, representing the fire element, symbolizing divine authority, infinite power, orderly structure, great creation, and steadfast protection. Within the Divine Realm, the Fire God raises his torch, breaking through darkness; immortals ride divine birds, freely roaming the starry skies; outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, divine soldiers stand magnificent and imposing; the three-headed six-armed Nezha dominates wind and clouds, unstoppable; the Thunder God soars with wings spread, resounding through the heavens; in the Crystal Palace, the Jade Emperor sits solemn and sacred, inviolable; while the Sudhana child remains innocent and full of vitality.

Where Pangu's feet touched the ground, below lies the eighteen levels of hell, dark and terrifying, where ghosts and spirits dwell - the Ghost Realm. This realm corresponds to the Swords suit, representing the wind element, symbolizing death's silence, the mysteries of reincarnation, shadows of fear, attachments of obsession, steepness of challenges, and the relief of liberation. Black and White Impermanence travel between the realms of yin and yang, guiding departed souls; fierce ghosts wail in graveyards; wronged spirits weep endlessly by the River of Forgetfulness; the Ten Kings of Hell judge impartially, enforcing laws strictly; Ox-Head and Horse-Face appear terrifying, inspiring fear in all who see them; while the soup of Lady Meng helps release worldly attachments.

Pangu's breath transformed into spirits and demons, who concealed themselves in mysterious corners beyond the human world - the Demon Realm. This realm corresponds to the Cups suit, representing the water element, symbolizing mysterious charm, magical spells, alluring poses, powerful strength, burning desires, and wondrous transformations. The demons are known for their clear-cut emotions, each possessing unique magical abilities. The White Snake descends to the mortal world, filled with tender love; the Nine-Tailed Fox moves with grace, embodying both danger and seduction; the Bone Demon's beauty is cold as frost, chilling to the bone; the Flower Spirit and Butterfly Spirit appear dreamlike, full of fantastic colors; while the Candle Dragon controls time's order, radiating wisdom's light.

Pangu's flesh became the earth and rivers, where Nüwa used clay to create humans, who have since multiplied and prospered on this land through changing dynasties and passing ages - the Human Realm. This realm corresponds to the Pentacles suit, representing the earth element, symbolizing mortal life, human diversity, rich emotions, material substance, persistent struggle, and eternal hope. Here we find the wealthy merchant Fan Li, the philanthropist Shen Wansan, Tao Yuanming who found joy in picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, the master craftsman Lu Ban, the brilliant strategist Zhuge Liang, the patriotic general Yue Fei, and the first emperor Qin Shi Huang... Their stories together weave the magnificent tapestry of the human realm.
