Halloween Tarot - Six of Imps
By Kipling West; book by Karin Lee
US Games Systems, Inc.

This card is a departure from the Rider Waite in that there are six Imps riding on the horse (and one cat). Their achievement is definitely the result of a group effort. One could almost imagine that their achievement is to get on and ride that horse! He does not look friendly! (Spirited?) None of the Imps is looking forward, and they don't look very triumphant to me. They are just enjoying the ride, supporting each other as well as their little furry friend.

Whereas on the Rider Waite 6W, the horseman could be seen as the victor of the contest in the 5W, in the Halloween Tarot, there's more a sense that the Imps have managed to get their Wands pointing in the same direction, and the victory is that they've come together as a team.

Book says: "This is a card of victory, and six proud imps have all piled on top of one horse to announce their success to the world. The first five Imp cards have revealed the ups and downs of any creative endeavor, but the Six of Imps shows a stronger, more meaningful victory -- that of a much-tested, much-earned success. You don't have to literally get back in the saddle to enjoy the glowing sense of self-worth that comes from a job well done, but it might be fun.

Divinatory Meanings: Success, the pleasure of recognition gained through creative hard work. stability in action, optimism, triumph, advancement
Reversed: creative blocks, apprehension, pessimism, delayed successes and rewards.
