Witchy Tarot Ace of Broomsticks - Help!

Ignigena

First, apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place...

I've been eyeing this deck for a while as one I'd like to add to my collection. Saw the mini ed. in Borders and couldn't resist. Well, unfortunately for some reason it came not with its own LWB but with the LWB for the Fairy Tarots instead. This is rather distressing considering it's not quite what you'd call an intuitive deck. Anyhow, as I was perusing it I came across the Ace of Broomsticks and I was at a loss. The card shows a witch sitting over a white rabbit that's busily bathing itself. The witch holds in her right hand an apple, in her left hand she holds a dagger that could poised above the bunny, but could also be in line with the apple (blade is pointing up). So what's supposed to be going on in this card? And what's the significance of it? Can anyone who has the booklet (or who has experience working with these cards) tell me what's being depicted? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Case Closed...sort of...

Ah, I just read the Aeclectic Review... (Silly me, that's probably where I should have started...) And now I've seen that this card also carries the title "The Witch and her Lunch." That clears things up a bit as far as what is being depicted, however I'm still not sure how it fits into the Ace of Broomsticks (I believe Broomsticks are Swords?) Or what the general significance is, so some thoughts on that would still help if anyone has any. But at any rate it gives me something to work with. I think I'll have to set this aside until I get ahold of the book. This deck is proving to be a bit of a headache without it (imagine, pining after the LWB! lol). ^_^

Hi Ignigena,

Welcome to the forums.

I don't have the Witchy Tarot myself so I'm afraid I can't help you with the Ace of Broomsticks, sorry.

As far as getting the wrong little white book goes though, I think you should either e-mail Lo Scarabeo or write to them and tell them of your predicament. I'm sure they'd very happily send you the correct little white book for your deck.

I found another few reviews for you to take a look at:

Thanks for the info, Sulis. I'll definitely take a look at those other reviews! And I can't wait to get the right book.
