Meaning of the Torches in the Persian Tarot

As the very first figure card of this tarot, that of the Torches is among the most beneficial to the querent, so strongly does it express the materialisation and success of the projects so dear to their heart. And this, by clearing from their path everything that might have created obstacles and other hindrances to their achievement. It is therefore, once again, a very positive card, one that inspires a certain drive possessed by all those described as go-getters. Within this tarot founded on Hindu spirituality, this card stands as a conquest through willpower and extreme determination. Moreover, the Torches are those brands of flame evoking light and warmth, which were among the very first conquests of mankind several millennia ago.

These are also those famous Torches passed from hand to hand at every opening of the Olympic Games. The Torches therefore represent the spiritual force of divine thought, which, when it accompanies us, drives us towards the realisation of our wishes thanks to a mental and physical support hitherto unknown, one that can make us move mountains. Moreover, the violet background of the card on which the Torches are depicted embodies lust and royalty, which are quite obviously not within reach of many people.

During a divinatory reading, the Torches card is therefore synonymous with an assured future victory for the querent. Whether during an exam, a job interview or the important signing of contracts, it guarantees you an assured success that will be hailed by those around you.
