    The Hats We Wear in Tarot
    The Hats We Wear in Tarot
    Posted by: Copperwoman on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 05:00 PM
    Tarot, Astrology & Divination Looking through a typical tarot deck, you find that human characters in the cards are distinguished by many different kinds of headwear. Tarot artists are limited by how much detail they can fit into such small illustrations, but by drawing people with different hats, crowns, helmets, and other head coverings, they concisely convey information about the individual portrayed. Tied in with the symbolic conflation of hat, head, and mind, headgear says something about different states of consciousness or ego states. Because we use hats metonymically to describe the roles we play, (as when we speak of a person who “is wearing many hats”), if you are doing a tarot spread for yourself, cards portraying a variety of hats can indicate different personas that you’ve been trying on, or your need to be many things to many people.

    As head coverings also signal social status, the headgear in tarot illustrations can also say something about an individual’s linking to the larger society. In addition, headwear can take on special meaning in certain contexts in a layout. For example, the “crowns you” position in the Celtic Cross layout reveals conscious directions, so a crowned figure is likely to be auspicious in this position. However, in this position, the Tower card, (which often portrays the crown of a tower being struck by lightning and/or crowned figures plunging to doom), could warn of a mindset that leads to danger.
