I was reading 'Tarot Tells the Tale' by James Ricklef when I came upon a passage he wrote involving travel/journey cards. Below are the cards he says that are traditionally associated with travel/journeys - to which I have added too.

Trump #0 (22) - The Fool
Trump #7 - The Chariot
8 of Wands
8 of Cups
6 of Swords
Knight of Wands [any knight]

1.) Would you agree with these cards as far as indicating possible travel/journey scenario's?
2.) Do you have other cards you'd add to the travel/journey list?

-------------------------------------------------------------

How about The Wheel of Fortune,the Knight of Wands and the Knight of Swords?

Don I have often seen the Knights representing travel, especially the Knight of Wands, which seems to be suggestive of the excitement of going on a trip. Sometimes the Knight of Swords appears when the querent is grumpy about going on the trip.

For those twenty-somethings like myself who make the big trip to Europe/Asia (most common destinations) for a long backpacking experience, or working holiday, The World turns up all the time. I suppose because we all expect to have our minds broadened, or some have the desire to 'find themselves'.

Rieklef calls the 8 of Cups a lonely vision quest - but I'm thinking more along the lines of 'On the Road Again - by Willie Nelson'. Or a physical moving away/journey.

6 of Swords - a slow, introspective boat ride. [Bridge Over Troubled Water S&G]. Often indicates moving away from a violent situation.

8 of Wands - a journey of great power, speed, and energy. [Rock You Like A Hurricane - ??? Forget the name of the band right this minute - but they were European.]

The 8 of Wands [Rx] was the card he was talking about as the final card in a three card reading asked by Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) about if she and her dog Toto would ever get away from her aunt and find a little excitement.

He was relating the 8 of Wands [Rx] to the tornado that zips Dorothy off to Oz.

I was thinking an actual physical journey but they could fit introspective journey's as well.

The Chariot - 'Baby You Can Drive My Car - The Beatles' LOL

The Fool - wandering around aimlessly with no particular destination in mind and soaking up the joy's of nature and living. Just living in the moment. [Groovin - The Young Rascals]
