Super Bowl Tarot, Pt. 2

For those that saw my post of a few weeks ago, you will notice that the 2 teams the tarot reading clearly "picked" for the Super Bowl are not in the Super Bowl.
I did that reading when there were 8 teams in the running. Tonight I did another reading picking the winner between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Obviously this is just for fun. I used the Llewellyn Tarot for this reading.

I drew three cards for each team: Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. For the Offense on the Patriots side is the Queen of Pentacles. They get what they want, they are self-made, so they are relying on there own ability and are very steady under pressure. I can see a good number of points from them. The Giants card isn't as great; the 5 of Pentacles. They are going to need a lot of help, from the coaching staff, "mess ups" from the other team, etc. Also maybe an injury of an offensive player might happen. I see the Patriots winning on the Offensive front.
Let's look at the defense card for the Patriots next. I drew the 9 of Wands. They are prepared to guard. The have really studied for this game. I think they have a definite plan they will be able to execute. The Giants got the 6 of Cups. The defense will have good teamwork, and will try to rely on plays that have worked in the past, but may not be able to think outside the box very well. I think this is a more of a toss up, but I'm giving the edge to the Patriots.
I did a card draw for the Special Teams as well. The Patriots card is the 4 of Wands. I think they might have some things to celebrate. I also think they night not get as much field time as the Giants. The Giants card is the 5 of Swords. This card can be about loss, sorrow but also can be about a victory at a price. The Giants may have a Special Teams player suffer an injury. I'm giving this one to the Patriots as well.
So all in all, I see the Patriots as the winners on all fronts... GO PATS!!

Super Bowl Tarot

Every year it seems some of the Tarot groups and sites I belong to like to have folks predict the winner of the Super Bowl. I never do, it seems silly to me. This year though, I thought what's wrong with silly and just doing it for fun? Nothing! I even started one of the threads this year. Tarot doesn't have to be serious all the time. This is a great exercise to gain more meaning and understanding from the cards. Plus if it turns out I'm good at this, maybe gain a little extra income!

Yesterday, before the games started I drew a card for each team still left in the playoffs. Based on the meanings of the cards I picked a winner for the American League and the National League. My prediction is the Green Bay Packers will take on the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl. I then reshuffled and drew a card for each of those teams.

Green Bay = The Hanged Man... this card is about sacrifice, letting go, pausing, stalling and waiting, can be about self-sabotage.
Baltimore = The Chariot... this card speaks of pushing forward, perseverance, self-confidence, focusing, and last, but certainly not least, winning.

So my pick for the winner is the Baltimore Ravens.

Guess we will see how it turns out through the playoffs and on the Super Bowl February 5th. GO RAVENS!!
