Hidden messages in cards?
I asked the spirits to give me the answers to a bunch of questions by giving me a combination of cards that I could use some kind of complex cipher on. The cards I got were 9 of wands, knight of wands, rev. Magician, rev. Seven of pentacles, and Rev. Ace of swords. I would greatly appreciate it of someone could help me come up with some kind of complex cipher to pull large amounts of information out of this

Okay, but first, you should give it a try and tell us what you come up with and maybe people could collaborate with you.

I read your post and given it much thought.
I do not know how much tarot knowledge you have, or how experienced you are.
Regarding the tarot itself.
Each card depending on what system you use has it own system applied to it. Like numerology, astrology, qabbala,
Qabbalaha numerology.
The colours, symbolism also add to it.
For non illustrated minors called pips. The pattern if done correctly adds to it.
So for an actual cipher itself.
I am going to assume you be a sort of code breaker enthusiast, so i would work with spirit to come up with your own system.
It could be that tarot cannot be ciphered for as i understand it it would have to developed with the code already in it.
So i refer you to the first parts of the tarot which requires more study on your end.
For me i need a kind of context

Hi DaneClark!
First off, welcome to this forum but that's a big request without a lot to go on.
I'm personally one of those metaphysical humanists who believes that spirits are usually personal egregores aka thoughtforms.
Depending on what type of tarot deck you are using- a Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS), Thoth, Tarot de Marseille, there are probably going to be alphabetic (especially Hebrew) and astrological correspondences attributed by the deck's author/artist to the cards. I'm personally studying what I call "the language of colors" and what different shades of ink probably meant to people playing card games or doing divination in the 1700s, which isn't a cipher but it is going to help me pull large amounts of information out of cards that were printed before machines took over and decks became a lot more limited for a while.
I'm not sure what complex cipher means to you; to me? I start thinking about fictional novels and conspiracy theories even though there's so much more to it than that. But if you are talking about classical algorithms? Cryptology isn't something I know anything at all about or how to apply it whatsoever to tarot, lol.
