• The “Two Hearts” layout is needed only for analyzing existing relationships: partner’s expectations, prospects for intimate and joint life, hidden misunderstandings that can develop into serious problems.
• The “Lado” alignment will provide clarity to the eyes and heart, show the “true face” of the relationship, which is seen only by others, whose opinion is far from reality. It will indicate compatibility with a partner or its absence, talk about measures that should be taken to improve mutual understanding.
• Alignment "Analysis of loneliness" - suitable for devoted and disappointed people who are closed in themselves, who find it difficult to admit that the cause of loneliness lies in the depths of their own hearts. It is important for them to see the event that laid the seed of detachment from love. A secret will be revealed, which at first will bring severe mental pain, which will be replaced by relief and calm.
• The layout of "Compatibility in bed." "Opposites attract"? By no means! The difference in the temperaments of friends can play a cruel joke with him in bed. Intimate life requires balance and full compatibility. Diversify relationships, add new experiences so that the partner feels a new wave of interest.

Establish a connection by holding the deck between the palms of your hands. If you are playing cards for feelings and love in relation to a partner, be open-minded.

SHARE

Today we have a rather delicate topic on our agenda - the erotic deck of Tarot Manara. How much I heard about these cards of opposing opinions! Someone scolds them for vulgarity and does not consider them to be Tarot in principle, someone calls this deck the most sensitive, responsive and amazingly accurate in matters of personal relationships, and someone looks at illustrations on the Internet with interest, but does not dare to make such a purchase . I must say right away: I work with Manara confidently and perfectly understand her message, although at first I also doubted for a long time whether I needed such cards. As it turned out, they are very much needed. But let's talk about everything in order.

History of the deck

Italian artist Milo Manara is known as the author of erotic comic novels. In essence, his Tarot is the fragments of the journey of the heroes he created, most of which are women. The deck cannot be called very young - after all, the first edition was released 18 years ago - in 2000, already quite far from us. Surprisingly, these frank, impartial cards quickly found their fans, so Tarot Manara was reprinted four more times - in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2012. Today, Manara is called the best deck for viewing all the subtleties and nuances of love relationships, although there are still ardent haters of these cards who call them nothing more than vulgarity, debauchery and meaningless pictures. Well, how many people, so many opinions. Personally, I worked well with Manara, but more on that later.

Key features of the deck

Unlike traditional decks, the suits here bear the names of the elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth. Naturally, the meanings of the Tarot Manara cards are also tied to these elements. So, for example, the plots of Fire are full of passion, sexuality, desire, Water - emotions, feelings, Air - dreams, fears, thoughts, Earth - everyday situations, deeds, practical issues. Each card also has its own astrological reference. Astrological correspondences are essentially the same, with the exception of court charts. The numbering of the Major Arcana is similar to Crowley's (Jester - 0, Strength - 11, Justice - 8), but at the same time two Arcana received their own names: this is how Milo Manara's Wheel of Fortune turned into a Mirror, and the Hanged Man - into Punishment. The names of the court cards are also slightly different from the classics: Ladies, Kings, Horsewomen, Servants. The Minor Arcana are plotted and are no less significant than the Major Arcana.

Symbolism of the deck

If you look into the gallery of Tarot Manar, you will see that the main feature of the deck is its focus on the relationship between a man and a woman. Each scene in one way or another shows us a certain behavior of the characters, their experiences, feelings, thoughts, interaction with each other. The pictures of Tarot Manara are very lively, dynamic, but all of them somehow reflect not so much the event plan as the psychological one: we see what the characters feel and think about, and this allows us to significantly expand the symbolic field of each Arcana, bringing out more and more semantic subtleties.

In the poses of the characters, gestures, details of their clothes, environment, background, you can find a lot of amazing clues. Usually, the opponents of this deck do not pay attention to these moments, believing that there is nothing else in it besides sex and erotic scenes. But to think so is a mistake. The closer you get to know this amazing deck, the more interesting and unknown side it opens up to you.

The search for the meaning and interpretation of the Tarot Manara cards is a very exciting journey, because there is another interesting point here. It consists in determining on the cards the role of which character is played by the person in question. This applies to illustrations where we see both a man and a woman. A woman will not always take a female role, and a man a male one, sometimes they can change. On the one hand, this can confuse you, but on the other hand, if you carefully examine the neighboring cards, you will definitely find the answer to your question.

Major Arcana

In the review of the erotic Tarot Manara, I want to move away from my usual scheme and show you several semantic messages of each card at once, so we will consider a smaller number of Arcana, but each one in as much detail as possible. I do this specifically for those who do not see the “forest for the trees” and consider this deck nothing more than a set of candid pictures.

So, from the Major Arcana for analysis, I chose the cards Jester, Lovers and the Chariot.

Jester. On this map, we see a fascinating game of a young girl with a wooden doll that has come to life. We will draw analogies that are more understandable for the inhabitants of our country - we will conditionally call the heroes Malvina and Pinocchio. Pinocchio is nothing more than a toy in the hands of a young girl. He is fascinated by her charm, experience, trustingly settled on her lap and does not even suspect what these adult games can lead to. Malvina is now passionate about her new toy, but she is essentially manipulating her, because it's just a wooden doll. I’ll play around, and if I get bored, I’ll throw it into the fire and find another one, it’s business!

And here we immediately see that the person for whom the alignment is being carried out can be both Pinocchio and Malvina. If our case is the first, then the client is clearly being manipulated, and she perceives everything that happens at face value. She completely and completely trusts her partner, relying on his experience and does not feel the hidden danger of the situation. If we decide that the client is Malvina, then the woman deftly leads someone by the nose, uses them for her own purposes.

But the interpretation of the Arcana Jester Taro Manara does not end there. If we want to describe the psychological state, we can say that in one case the person himself does not know what he needs, he perceives what is happening too lightly and carelessly, in the other he pretends to be a wise person, constantly trying to teach something to his partner. If the card turns out to be a significator of relations, then one partner manipulates, and the other is unconditionally led to it, allows himself to be disposed of. A person who is in the role of Malvina can easily and without regrets part with his “toy”, but what this will turn out for Pinocchio will be prompted by neighboring cards.

Describing feelings, the card can report a certain lightness, carelessness, play, lack of obligations, irresponsibility. If we are talking about the physical state - this is infantilism, the fragility of the connection. If we perceive Arkan as a warning - this is a hint to think about whether you are a toy in someone's hands, if you ask the cards for advice - Manara advises you to let your inner child open up, treat what is happening as an exciting game.

And if we pay attention to the astrological correspondence - Uranus - then we will immediately understand that we are talking about the element of spontaneity, surprise, but at the same time the partners are very different spiritually.

Those in love with Taro Manara are the artist and his Muse, talent and admirer. Who is who of the partners - we look at the surrounding cards or known facts. What can be said about these relationships? People definitely cannot live without each other, but one constantly has to sacrifice himself for the sake of the other. The artist is a narcissistic personality, the main thing for him is creative ecstasy, self-realization, Nature - admires the Master, bows before him.

But who would the Artist be without his faithful admirer and a submissive, patient model, willing to endure any mockery in order for his beloved to create another masterpiece? Please note: the girl's back is all slashed with deep scars. Are these the marks from the whip that the Master gave her to paint a realistic picture, or are the scratches just painted with his brush?

But why does the girl tolerate it? Is it because he really wants to get closer to the image of the ideal that appears on the canvas? The card is very deep, which can speak of the extreme degree of self-sacrifice, and the strongest egoism, and the mystical attraction of partners to each other, when from the outside the relationship seems very strange, but in reality people simply cannot exist separately: she is his Muse, without which life will lose its meaning, he is her ideal, without which her soul will yearn, because there will be no one else to serve, no one to take care of. Sexual ecstasy on this card occurs through creativity: one person in bed is completely subordinate to the fantasies and desires of another.

By the way, my Lovers card often falls on relationships in which a woman lives with a man who drinks or raises his hand to her, but does not go anywhere - “where will I go, will he disappear without me?”.

Chariot. The seventh Arcana of the Tarot Manara differs from the two previous ones in that here we see only one heroine. Pay attention to an important detail that occurs more than once in the plots of this deck - this is a movie camera. This is a kind of symbol of retrospect, immersion in the past, or a hint of a scenario game, the inevitability or repetition of any events or actions. The girl who saddled the movie camera with her thoughts is not really in the present moment, but somewhere there, in the distant past, where she felt very good.

If the classic Chariot usually rushes forward, then in Tarot Manara the opposite is true: as it should be for crustaceans (Cancer is the astrological correspondence of the card), the girl moves back, returns to her past. Most often, this Arcana shows immersion in memories, or a regular repetition of past mistakes. As a significator of relationships, it most often shows either a connection that lasts for many years, or an affair with a person from the past, or a repetition in relation to mistakes that have already been made.

Minor Arcana

Since the review is already too long so as not to tire my readers, I will try to give descriptions of the Minor Arcana more briefly, but so that you can independently think about their possible meanings.

Let's start with the Fire suit. This is the energy of fatal passion, pleasure and pain, sexual desire and games in bed. Most often - this is a creative approach to building relationships, initiative, determination, courage, activity. Let's look at the Three of Fire.

Here we see a man who, without suspecting anything, was resting on a bench in the park. And then, out of nowhere, a passionate beauty appeared, who instantly threw off her clothes and rushed to our hero's knees. What associations does this Tarot Manara card evoke in you? Personally, I see in one partner (woman) a frenzied activity, which does not always manifest itself on time, and secondly, surprise, unpreparedness for such suddenly changed circumstances. The girl does not think at all about whether her partner wants her attention - for her, her own desire comes first. And he, although surprised by such a strong pressure, still put his arm around her waist, and did not try to push her away. In fact, the general meaning of the card is an inadequate manifestation of one's desire, active seduction, a difference in temperaments, different ideas about relationships and sex.

The suit of Water is a journey through the expanses of our sensuality, it is a whirlpool or a calm flow of emotions, sometimes a search for one's inner self. For example, let's look at the Two of this suit.

It seems to me that our heroine ran away from the castle that we see in the background, because it turned out to be too cramped, gloomy, boring for her. She decided to plunge into the refreshing waters of her feminine sensuality, but the former lover caught up with her and does not want to let go of any. According to this card, for me personally, there is always some kind of mutual misunderstanding, an obsessive desire of one partner to escape, and the second one to return him back at any cost through blackmail, manipulation or banal tantrums. How exactly this person behaves - I look at the surrounding cards. The partner, acting as a woman, has a strong desire to renew the relationship, to bring some fresh air into them, but at the same time, something actively suppresses this impulse, does not allow her to go beyond such a boring framework. In general, this is a rather complex and unpredictable relationship, where each of the couple is brewing in a cauldron of their own feelings, where one is terribly afraid of losing the other, and the other demands proof of this love.

The element of Air in Tarot Manara is dreams, dreams, fantasies, illusions, and everything that happens exclusively inside our own head. Look at the heroine of the Air Eight. She, headlong, runs not at all from a man, but from some of her inner fears. Why did I decide that fears are far-fetched and not real? Check out the card's whimsical backdrop, flying crows, and the frame that makes this illustration look like it's from a book.

However, sometimes Arkan can also show real intimidation by one partner of another, but it still does not reach the implementation of the threat. This fear is rather internal, like a premonition of trouble.

The suit of the Earth reflects the desire for constancy, the desire for stability, sometimes practical calculation, pragmatism. In general, the plots here are more domestic, earthly. Let's take a closer look at the Earth Four.

There are no longer two, but several heroes, so in order to figure out who is who, you must definitely pull out additional cards. But in general, the message, I think, is clear to everyone: a married couple in a public place encountered a secret mistress of their spouse. The wife is horrified, the man is in shock, and the mistress humiliates herself, trying to prove that this man belongs to her, pulls her hands to him, persistently tries to hold him back. Love triangles most often go through this card, when the truth about the betrayal comes out, and the partner who went to the left is trying in every possible way to “get rid of” his affair.

court cards

Since I have already significantly exceeded the scope of my review, I propose to go over the court cards of Tarot Manar very briefly. As I said, their names are as follows: Queen, King, Horsewoman and Servant. If you worked according to Crowley's system, then you know that his Knights are the fiery part of the element, Queens are water, Princes are air, Princesses are earth. Those. The Prince of Wands is the Air of Water, the Queen of Swords is the Water of Air, the Knight of Disks is the Fire of the Earth, and so on. Milo Manara presents us with a different vision of the court maps. The fiery part in the court Arcana of Tarot Manara is occupied by the Queens, symbolizing women who take on male roles in modern society, the Kings are the water part, the Horsewomen are the air part, the Servants are the earth part. It is according to this scheme that the corresponding astrological changes were made. But it won't be too hard to figure it out.

If we characterize them briefly, we get the following. Fire Court: The Queen is a young inexperienced woman, the King is a shaman, the Horsewoman is a hussar girl with an independent character, the Servant is a doctor walking along the hospital corridor.

Water Court: The Queen is a sensitive, understanding woman who has withdrawn into herself and is not afraid of loneliness, The King is a demonic hero-lover, The Horsewoman is an Amazon who got off her horse and got bogged down in a swamp, The Servant is a true friend, always ready to help.

Court of Air: The Queen is a playful, incendiary, but somewhat superficial girl, The King is a big child, philosopher and romantic, The Horsewoman is a girl with a flexible mind and fantasies that have a real basis, The Servant is a symbol of creative flight, fireworks of delight and blissful joy.

Court of Earth: The Queen is a cornered woman in a pose of despair, The King is a symbol of secret vices, The Horsewoman is a young business owner of the ranch, The Servant is the archetype of the “ugly duckling”.

Features of the interpretation of cards

When interpreting Tarot Manara cards, you should pay attention to all the details: the behavior, postures, gestures of the characters, their clothes, environment, objects, background. Astrological references also matter. Personally, I can't imagine how you can read these cards upside down. I am not a supporter of “shifters” at all, but even if I used them in my work, this would definitely not be required for Manara. So many nuances of meaning can be found in a straight map that the need to turn them over simply disappears.

What issues is the deck suitable for?

Tarot Manara is not a universal deck. She is still sharpened precisely for viewing personal relationships, psychological problems, sexual component. But, oddly enough, it is quite possible to consider business issues on it, for good reason someone once said that “in business, someone always has someone”.

Who is the card for?

The Manara Tarot deck is an excellent choice for:

• Tarot readers looking for a powerful tool for spreading personal relationships
• Erotic deck collectors
• Fans of creativity Milo Manara

By working with this deck in Russian, you can find only three books: “Erotic Tarot Manara” by Anna Kotelnikova in collaboration with Elena Gerasimova and two books by Dmitry Nevsky - “Tarot Manara. The Magic of Love”, “Taro Manara. All colors of love. Personally, I liked Anna Kotelnikova's book much more. I don’t agree with Nevsky’s many visions of cards, besides, he also describes inverted meanings, which I don’t see at all in this deck. Recently, a new two-volume book “Manara. Business on the verge of sex” by Elsa Khapatnyukovsky and Dmitry Bakhaev, who describes working with the deck in the vein of professional activity, but there is still very little information about the book, so I can’t judge its usefulness.

On my own behalf, I’ll add that the deck in the very first months of its use rose to second place in the ranking of my favorites, and to first in matters of relationships. The only thing I want to recommend: if you decide to buy, do not take the “Russian Series” - give preference to a more expensive edition, since after eight months of active use, the paint on the “Russian Series” cards has already begun to peel off. And, of course, leave your feedback about Taro Manara in the comments.

Tarot Manara is a special deck of cards in every sense. You won't find another one like it anywhere. This is a deck for those who have already become adults. It is not suitable for divination by children or teenagers. Although, it's not a secret for anyone that for the first time some of us picked up cards when they were twelve or fourteen years old. It is at this time that for all mentally healthy people, without exception, the period of the first falling in love begins. Girls like boys, boys like girls. And that's okay. There is nothing reprehensible in this.

At the same time, the first interest appears, the first desire to lay out the cards and find out something more about your sweetheart. Learn something that others don't already know. I want to know absolutely everything about him (her)! And that's okay too. After all, the one (or the one) that makes the heart beat faster seems to be some very special creature, it seems to be an alien from other worlds. Everything in this little man is special, everything is different from others: eyes, hands, movements, speech, habits. Everything is special!

In such cases, you can take any solitaire, any deck of cards, or just some online fortune-telling and hit the road for answers. The answers will come, no doubt! It is a completely different matter when a person becomes an adult. His life was filled with new aspects that were not there before. intimate relationships is one such area. And what then? Other Oracles come to the rescue! And the first one is right in front of you!

Tarot Manara, the meaning of the cards of which we are pleased to offer you, will answer all questions related to the hidden part of the life of an adult. With that part of it that is not customary to put on display. In any case, if we are talking about feelings behind which there are intimate relationships, then no one will definitely shout about it at the corners. This deck of cards will help you understand more about your partner, get to know him better, and as a result, build a more harmonious relationship with him.
