Backwards Tarot Prompts
Forum rules
Inspired by this post on Llewellyn's blog by Susan Chang, here's a quick exercise where the situation comes first, and then we choose a card to represent it.
For the prompt, you can use the one the person before you used or add your own, whichever you prefer. One option is to use a prompt generator like this one.
Then choose the card that best represents that prompt in whatever tarot deck you're considering. You can explain why you chose that card, or you can just quickly tell us the card and deck.
(It's not about picking a "correct" card. Decks vary, and as the post linked above says, one person might choose The Chariot (their car) for "running errands" while another might choose the Knight of Wands (on a mission))

Re: Backwards Tarot Prompts
prompt from The Interpretation of Dreams, Chapter 3.
Dream analysis of Freud's daughter:
'mama came into the room and threw a handful of big bars of
chocolate, wrapped in blue and green paper, under our beds.'
Thelema tarot
Why the bars of chocolate were thrown under the bed
could not, of course, be explained without questioning the child.

Re: Backwards Tarot Prompts
Prompt from generator: "organizing a bookshelf"
This is line art for a card in progress from a new deck by M.M. Meleen, creator of the Tabula Mundi, Rosetta, and Pharos. You can follow its progress at the link below.
8 of Swords
My comment on Meleen's site:
I was just doing a backwards tarot prompt on cultoftarot forum for “organizing a bookshelf,” and Hod 8s and Swords both came to mind. But putting those two together, the art for Interference/Shortened Force usually gives the impression that I’d definitely be buried in toppled stacks on the floor and give up for the day. I suddenly wondered if you’d added this decan and headed over here. And lo and behold, this 8 of Swords is a comfortable fit for the prompt, regardless of whether my many choices still lead me to a muddle or to well organized books.
