When I started this series, it was supposed to be a joke: twenty-two cards of tired everyday things dressed up as tarot. Somewhere around card five, I noticed the joke was doing a lot more heavy lifting than I’d intended.

This idea came to me during a long season of waiting (one I'm still in). I’ve exhausted every option and I’m just watching the days go by. The classical Major Arcana is full of massive, capital-letter ideas like Strength and Justice, which are beautiful, but they don’t fit the scale of my Tuesdays. A bathrobe or a burnt-out candle does. The humor isn’t a way of avoiding the big stuff, but how I get close enough to look at it.

If you’ve been in your own slow stretch of waiting lately, I hope these cards felt familiar, or at least made you feel a little less lonely. The Major Arcana isn't reserved for sacred spaces. Sometimes it’s standing in front of your fridge at midnight, asking what you need. Thanks for spending the month with me, the goldfish, and the long CVS receipt of being alive.

Tarot for People Who Are Over It is a watercolor Major Arcana for the exhausted. See the complete collection here.
