These cards are based on the classic tarot deck. A special feature of this game is - besides the pug illustrations - two additional cards which are "The Loyalty" and "The Unicorn". In addition, special laying techniques can be used for interpretation, which we developed especially for the Mops Tarot. You can ask the Mops Tarot cards by using the formation of the Bowl or the Paw or - even with more detail - the decision of the Unicorn. The cards can be asked in many ways, for example using the very classic oracle type according to tendencies. "The Paw" is very well suited for this, or for in between "the little bone", also to describe a current state or to recognize alternative perspectives. Current thoughts and questions that concern us can be focused well with the decision of the unicorn. This Mops Tarot deck differs in its symbolism from the classic tarot game. This is due to the Mops who of course is involved in all Major and Minor Arcana. The following symbols apply to him: The mandatory pentacles are represented in this deck as Sausages (Würste). Why is that? Because the pentacle (coin) is only valuable to humans, for a dog or even a pug it is worthless. A sausage, however, carries great value for our classic Tarot pug. The swords convert to bones (Knochen) in the Mops Tarot. This is due to the fact that a pug can play, nibble, or fight in play with a bone - not with a sword. Here, cups turn obviously into bowls (Napf). Their meaning is at least as big as the one of the sausages. Of course, it is of great importance, if these bowls are filled - with food or treats - or if they are empty or even knocked over... The wands turn into sticks (Stöckchen). Explaining is unnecessary in this case due to the Tarot Wand being way too long for the pug. But with a little stick he has a lot more options. The Tarot Mops can play with it, show off, threaten, fight, or even nibble on it. 24 cards represent the Major Arcana, which show the wisdom of the Tarot through their symbols. The Minor Mops Arcana cover 56 cards that are divided into four suits. Each of these suits consist of 10 pip cards and 4 court cards. The court cards contain Mops Page, Mops Knight, Mops Queen and Mops King. Character traits are assigned to the cards which are determined and refined by the symbolism of the Mops Tarot elements sausages, bones, bowls, and sticks: All Mops Pages symbolize character traits such as being childlike, immature, playful and carefree. These traits can be interpreted as persons with these characteristics, often however, they also indicate opportunities. Mops Knights symbolize impulsiveness, emotionality and sometimes aggression depending on the context. The young adult or teenager who wants to achieve his goals but acts impulsively and uncontrollably finds its definition in the Mops Knight. As already mentioned, an interpretation can describe people with these characteristics, but often moods and dispositions can be referred to. The Mops Queens represent femininity, emotion, and intuition. Depending on the element that is related, the characteristic of this card is refined. Therefore, the Mops Queen of bones is much braver and bolder than the Mops Queen of bowls, who due to the element of water acts more reserved, emotional, and intuitive. During an interpretation the Mops Queens may symbolize persons that surround us with these features, and sometimes even us. Strength, power, authority are the characteristics of the Mops Kings. Just as mentioned for the Mops Queens, the interpretation of a Mops King card depends on the particular element that joins the Mops King for his attribute. Therefore, the Mops King of bones will be dominant and self-conscious, while the Mops King of bowls is more empathic, vulnerable, and sensitive. During an interpretation the Mops Kings may symbolize persons that surround us with these features, and sometimes even us.
