On her tumblr post, Cassie also explains the concept of this new tarot card:

So Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … seventy-something days I’ll be posting a card a day (okay, maybe not every day — I tend to get distracted!)  in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have. 

We’ve moved on from the Major Arcana to the minor Arcana — the first suit is the suit of Rings, which takes the place of the suit of Pentacles. The Five of Rings is the Blackthorn ring. It shows the Blackthorn family, TDA-era, in all their glory. Tiberius looking crabby as usual, Julian messing around, Mark being serious. 

The Five of Pentacles  (Rings here) can often represent going forward after suffering a loss.

I wonder what loss the Blackthorn family is suffering from. I guess we will have to wait until March 2015 when the first novel of the series is released! 

What do you guys think of the new tarot card? And any guesses of the loss the Blackthorns are suffering from?

Will, Jem and Tessa Shadowhunter Tarots!

Cassandra Clare has shared more of Cassandra Jean's tarot cards with is. Below are the Will, Jem and Tessa Shadowhunter Tarot cards.

So Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … seventy-something days I’ll be posting a card a day in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have.

I was going to post a card a day but I am several days behind, so these three cards go up together since they fit together thematically.

Will gets the Hanged Man which symbolizes someone caught in a bad situation between impossible choices.

Jem gets Temperance, which means balance, and can mean the blending of opposites.

And Tessa gets the Star, which is an otherworldly card, symbolizing magic. It also symbolizes love, vulnerability and hope.

These cards have been posted before but it’s interesting to reevaluate them again in the light of Clockwork Princess, thank you Cassandra Jean!

Charlotte Branwell Shadowhunter Tarot!

Cassandra Clare has share another shadowhunter tarot card by Cassandra Jean with us and it is of the beloved Charlotte Branwell.

Check out what Cassie said about the tarot card:

Today’s Cassandra Jean tarot card! Charlotte gets the card of Justice, here The Leader. Interestingly: “Justice mediates the various claims of right, of morality, of duty. In a world of scarcity, not every claim can be met. Justice, in theory, sets forth a system to judge between the claims. The tarot card is therefore typically closer to the notion of Jurisprudence than to the abstract concept of Justice.” - Wiki

This works well for Charlotte because she, being the leader of the Institute, works within the laws of the Clave to bring about moral change. She also has a lot of personal charisma and smarts, all leadership qualities — recognized, I think, in Clockwork Princess!

Shadowhunter Tarot Cards by Cassandra Jean: Magnus and Alec and Jace and Clary!

Cassandra Clare has decided to share 1 shadowhunter tarot card with us a day until the whole deck has been shown.

So Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … seventy-something days I’ll be posting a card a day in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have. 

The Lovers card! Its meaning is pretty self-explanatory. I thought I’d attach the first version we did, which was just Jace and Clary. For whatever reason it wasn’t working for us. Maybe because Jace looks slightly evil? :) Also I felt like there are so many characters whose relationships could represent unity and love. So we decided to make it a flippable card, which worked either way up, and have Magnus and Alec represent love as well.

Shadowhunter Tarot Card Day 2: Magnus Bane

Cassandra Clare has been sharing Shadowhunter Tarot cards with us for a few months now. She will now be sharing one Shadowhunter Tarot a day for 84 days. On Wednesday she shared the card of Magnus Bane.

Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … eighty-four? days I’ll be posting a card a day in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have. Today is day 2.

 



 This card corresponds to the Magician card. Magnus is the Magician, well — for obvious reasons! Many have asked why Magnus has a halo. He doesn’t: the sign over his head is the infinity sign. It is meant to signify the infinite nature of magic and comes from the original Rider-Waite Tarot. I like to think it symbolizes here that Magnus’ life is infinite as well.

Look closely for Chairman Meow, the Book of the White, and Woolsey’s snuffbox!

What is your favorite thing about the card featuring the High Warlock of Brooklyn?

New Blackthorn Shadowhuter Tarot card by Cassandra Jean!

Cassandra Clare has posted yet another Shadowhunter Tarot card by Cassandra Jean. This one is of Drusilla and Octavian Blackthorn. Cassie also discusses the future of the Shadowhunter Tarots. We will be getting one Shadowhunter Tarot card a day for 84 days.

Check out the card and what Cassie had to say below:

 

Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … eighty-four? days I’ll be posting a card a day in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have.

This card corresponds to the Fool, which can be either 0 or 22 in the Tarot. We decided to do one 0 and one 22. 0 is Drusilla and Octavian Blackthorn who we picked because they symbolize uncorrupted innocence which is an aspect of the Fool card.

Are you excited to see the rest of the Shadowhunter Tarot cards by Cassandra Jean?
 

New Luke Garroway and Hodge Starkweather Shadowhunter Tarot cards by Cassandra Jean!

Cassandra Clare has shared two more Shadowhunter Tarot cards by the oh so very talented Cassandra Jean. These two new cards feature Luke Garroway and Hodge Starkweather.

The other cards that were featured were of the rest of the members of Valentine's circle, Jocelyn Fairchild, Amatis and Stephen Herondale, Valentine Morgenstern, Robert Lightwood and Maryse Lightwood.

Here is what Cassie had to say:

The members of Valentine’s Circle, as depicted in Cassandra Jean’s Shadowhunter Tarot. HELLO, young Luke. I asked her why she drew him so hot and she said he was her favorite character. Hidden depths, man.

She also spoke about selling the Shadowhunter Tarot cards:

(I know lots of people have been asking if they can buy these someday — I’m waiting on word from the movie studio. They have the right to merchandise Shadowhunter things, and I don’t, actually. So it depends if they let me. :)

Do you love the new Shaodwhunter Tarots? Would you buy the Shadowhunter Tarots of they were sold? I know I would.

Jem and Tessa Shadowhunter Tarot card by Cassandra Jean!

Cassandra Clare has shared yet another Shadowhunter Tarot card on her Tumblr by Cassandra Jean.

WARNING: THE PICTURES BELOW CONTAINS CLOCKWORK PRINCESS SPOILERS!

Okay, I don’t know if I missed it, but I have not seen a Jem and Tessa tarot card. If there is one and you just aren’t showing it to us yet, I AM NOT ABOVE BEGGING. So, pretty please with a Benedict Cumberbatch on top will you showit to us? What if I bring you cookies? — team62forever

Hey Cassie! I was just wondering if there were any Jem and Tessa drawings or with them on a tarot card? I’ve been loving all the Will and Tessa ones but I kind of wanted more of Jessa. Thanks for reading (and answering if you do..) — consulfairchilds

I was saving the Jem and Tessa one because it is VERY SPOILERY. It doesn’t ONLY spoil events in Clockwork Princess, it spoils events in future as yet unwritten books.
Are you really sure you want to look?

 



By Cassandra Jean of course. Ten of runes: the wedded union rune. (No runes on Tessa, as Tessa’s skin does not bear runes. When she married Will, she wore the runes on a bracelet. On their thirtieth anniversary he had the bracelet redesigned with pearls to commemorate the years.)
As for this scene, I can’t tell you when it takes place. Just that it does. Could be during CoHF, or TDA, or between the two. It could be a written scene, or just something that happens. They are surrounded by daisies here, which symbolize loyal love and patience, and as you can see, Tessa is wearing Will’s bracelet still.
As for all the people who’ve written to ask if Jem and Tessa have kids, or if Tessa decides to be mortal — they could have kids. Jem is mortal. The kids would be mortal. This is a world where becoming mortal if you are not, or immortal if you are not, is nearly impossible and carries a huge price. It makes life not easy, but as Logan Echolls said, they don’t write songs about the ones that come easy. :)

Do you like the new Shadowhunter Tarot?

New Simon and Isabelle Shadowhunter Tarot card!

Here is a brand new Shadowhunter Tarot by the so very talented Cassandra Jean. You guys asked and she gave it to you. Here is the Isabelle and Simon Shadowhunter Tarot card.

From Cassandra Jean’s Shadowhunter Tarot — there were just so many requests for Simon/Izzy it had to be done. They take the Ace of Swords/Blades which can mean unity and breakthroughs. Also Simon is holding Glorious which is definitely worthy of being the Ace of Blades.

What do you think of the Sizzy tarot card?

Jace and Will in the Shadowhunter Tarot

Oh, Herondale boys, how we adore you. Here's the newest in the Shadowhunter Tarot by Cassandra Jean.

How do you like seeing these two favorites together on one card? Would you buy this set if it came out? Share your thoughts!

New Sebastian and Maia and Jordan Shadowhunter Tarot cards!

You guys asked for them and Cassandra Clare has given them. We have just received two more Shadowhunter Tarot cards from Cassandra Clare by the very talented Cassandra Jean. The first one is Sebastian and the second one is features Maia and Jordan. Check them out below:

“Hey Cassie. I’m keeping a very close eye on the tarot. I’m really looking forward to ones with Jonathan (Sebastian) and Maureen. Can’t wait for the deck to grow. — tsvetuschayaroza”
Sebastian:

“Hi Cassie. I really love the Shadowhunter Tarot deck! Do you/Cassandra Jean have Maia in the tarot card deck too? — mind-fangs”
Yep! Not all the cards are drawn, but Maia is in the deck more than once. Here’s one. The moon card. (I’m not sure this one is final. A lot of me just wants to give the whole card to Maia and give Jordan a different card.)

 

What are your thoughts on teh Shadowhunter Tarot cards?

Jace and Clary Shadowhunter Tarot card!

Here is yet another Shadowhunter Tarot card from Cassandra Jean! Jace and Clary in Eight of Steles.

“will there be a jace and clary shadowhunter tarot? just the two of them? :) — jacefrayed”

Well, I can’t always say “ask and ye shall receive” because some cards from CJ’s Shadowhunter Tarot don’t exist. This one does, though! Clary and Jace in the scene from City of Glass where they sleep in the same bed but don’t touch except for their hands. The Eight of Wands/Steles, which can mean headlong progression. I liked it because I felt like this was the moment in which they fell in love, that there was no going back from.

New Lightwood Shadowhunter Tarot Cards

Thought some people might have been waiting for this one. :) Magnus and Alec take the Fearless rune in the Suit of Runes in the Shadowhunter Tarot. After all, it was first tested out on Alec!

 

We were definitely waiting for this card! How doyou guys like it? Let us know in the comments down below.



New Shadowhunter Tarot

After a question from a Tumblr user, Cassie posted two new Shadowhunter Tarot cards!  I certainly look forward to the opportunity to own these!

From Cassie's Tumblr:

“Hi Cassie! Are you going to post more of Cassandra JP’s shadowhunter cards soon? I think they are so awesome. I check your blog everyday to see if you have posted anymore. I am also super excited for Clockwork Princess. — wordsearchesaremything”
They are lovely! Cassandra is very talented. Here is the rune suit (taking the place of Cups) — Will and Tessa take the Two of Cups/Recall-Menomosyne rune and Camille, Woolsey and Magnus take the three card and the rune Ludus which means “love played as a game.” (From the suite of Love runes by Valerie Freire.)

Lightwoods featured in Shadowhunter Tarot

Lightwoods, Lightwoods, all around! Robert, Maryse, Alec and Isabelle take the Court cards for the steles/wands suit in Cassandra Jean’s Shadowhunter Tarot.

ICYMI: Shadowhunter Tarot

I like to call this In Case You Missed It: Shadowhunter Tarot edition.  With so many of these posting, here are some of the ones we, and you, may have missed.

Tessa Gray The Masked

Tessa, The Masked, was snuck in as what appeared as a duplicate post a few weeks ago.

Legends

Cassie had this to say about this featured group.

More of Cassandra Jean’s Shadowhunter Tarot! There are a lot more Major Arcana, but I thought it would be cool to look at one of the suits. The suit of Swords is replaced by the suit of Seraph Blades,or just Blades — Jonathan being King since he’s the father of all seraph blades, Jocelyn as Queen, Young Valentine as the Knight, and Young Hodge (looking rather endearing) as the Page (a card that can turn up meaning spying or betrayal.)

The Infernal Devices

Cassie had this to say:
In honor of Clockwork Princess being ONLY ONE MONTH AWAY, two very different married couples from the Infernal Devices as depicted in Cassandra Jean’s Shadowhunter Tarot. Henry, The Scientist, takes the Fool Card, Charlotte the Justice card, Nate the seven of swords and Jessamine the eight of swords (often shown as a prisoner.)
Cassandra Jean and I are trying to figure out if there’s a way to have the Tarot printed and sold/distributed. I don’t want it to be expensive, or only available in one country, and since this wasn’t conceived of as something to sell, I’m not sure how to work it. But if people want to own it, I want them to be able to. So we’re working on it!

The Dark Artificies

Cassie had this to say:

Hi! I’m a huge fan of your books. Can you say more things about The Dark Artifices (it hasn’t came out yet but I already love it).

— 1amy2

That is both extremely flattering and makes me feel like eek! The pressure! Okay, well, here are the twins. Livia and Tiberius — Livvy and Ty as part of Cassandra Jean’s Shadowhunter Tarot.
Almost all the Blackthorns have the same brown hair and blue-green eyes, but Ty doesn’t look like the rest of him. them has black hair and gray eyes. He’s fifteen and skinny and wants to be a detective. Specifically he wants to be Sherlock Holmes, though nobody else in the Shadowhunter world understand why. :) He’s brilliant and odd, and a few minutes younger than Livvy, who believes it’s her job to protect him, and in fact, protect her whole family, since she thinks they’re all a bit on the hapless dreamer/starry-eyed artist side. Livvy’s very practical. :)

Alec & Izzy

Cassie had this to say:

More of Cassandra Jean’s Shadowhunter Tarot!   Here Alec and Isabelle take the place of the Tower Card, only with the Institute as the Tower in the background.
