Okay, here’s my take on sharing my “destiny 2 tarot cards” practice and journey, blog style.
Diving into Destiny 2 Tarot Cards: My Experience
Alright, folks, let’s talk about something I’ve been messing around with lately: Destiny 2 tarot cards. Yeah, you heard right. I know it sounds kinda out there, mixing a space shooter with ancient mysticism, but trust me, it’s been a trip.
So, where did I even get this crazy idea? Well, I was grinding through yet another Gambit match (Lord, give me strength), and I started thinking about the symbolism in Destiny 2. All those Light vs. Dark themes, the Traveler, the Pyramids… it felt like there was something deeper going on. Then it hit me: Tarot.
First thing I did was jump online and start digging. I searched around for some fan-made tarot decks, lists of card meanings that related to Destiny 2. There were a few cool concepts out there, but nothing that really clicked with me. So, naturally, I decided to make my own.
I started by brainstorming. I grabbed a notebook and just started writing down characters, locations, and events from Destiny 2 that felt like they fit the archetypes of the Major Arcana. The Traveler as The Sun, the Witness as The Devil, Eris Morn as the Hermit – stuff like that.
Next, I sketched some thumbnails. I’m no artist, mind you. We’re talking stick figures and rough shapes here. But it helped me visualize each card and figure out how to represent the character. I decided to use key events and story beats from Destiny 2’s narrative to further support my card imagery.
Then came the actual card creation. I am using a digital art program and went to town. I tried to stay true to the classic Rider-Waite tarot imagery while injecting my own Destiny 2 flair. For example, The Tower card features the Red War and the Traveler’s cage, emphasizing upheaval and sudden change.
Once I had a decent number of cards designed, I started doing some readings. And here’s where things got interesting. I tried various spreads like the three-card spread and the Celtic Cross. At first, it was all just for fun, but I started to see some real connections between the cards I was drawing and what was going on in my life (and in my Destiny 2 gameplay, haha).
Like, I was struggling with a particularly difficult raid boss, and I pulled the Five of Swords, which represents conflict and defeat. It was a harsh reminder that I needed to change my approach and work better with my team.
And when I was feeling lost and unsure about a career decision, I pulled the Hermit card. It told me I needed to take some time for introspection and look inward for answers. Creepy, right?
- Brainstormed: Wrote down characters/locations that resonated.
- Sketched: Created thumbnails for card visuals.
- Designed: Used a digital program to make the cards.
- Readings: Started interpreting card meanings in relation to my game and life.
Now, I’m not saying that Destiny 2 tarot cards are going to predict your future or anything. But it’s been a cool way for me to engage with the game on a deeper level, to think about its themes and characters in a new way, and to gain some new perspectives on my own life.
It’s just a fun project that’s helped me think outside the box and get a little creative. Maybe you can give it a try sometime! Who knows, you might unlock a new understanding of the game and yourself.
