Hi @Nikki-Phoenix, I second Georgia about listening to the bias - trust your intuition and go with your gut! 😊 At the same time, I also know it can be helpful to get some second eyes on a reading, as sometimes it can unlock new interpretations that we missed on our own. In hopes of helping, here are my thoughts as an outsider to the reading. > [@Nikki-Phoenix](#): > > Card 1 King of Swords > Card 2 8 of Cups reversed > Card 3 Page of Cups > Card 4 9 of Cups > Card 5 10 of Cups > Card 6 King of Wands > Card 7 Wheel of Fortune reversed From a tarot perspective, there’s a clear majority of Cups in the reading. Because of this, I’d say it’s a **Water-aligned deity** , and, as there are absolutely no Pentacles, it may be one with very slight ties to the Earth element. The suit of Cups carries the strongest divine feminine energy of the four suits, however, you have two King court cards here - and one of them is Card number 1: The Deity. There’s also one Wand and one Sword, so I’m not too confident if the cards themselves are giving a hint as to the energy of the deity. **They may have traits of both the divine masculine and the divine feminine** , though I’m leaning slightly toward the divine masculine. The strongest card in the reading is the major arcana The Wheel of Fortune - it’s reversed, but it’s also the symbolism card. And that card is loaded with symbolism in the artwork and its meaning. It’s card of cycles, ups and downs, and depicts various mythological creatures. The [tarot course on Spells8](https://spells8.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-tarot/) breaks down some of the symbols on this card, so I’ll link it here: > - The **serpent** that descends on the left side of the wheel is the Egyptian god of evil Typhon. The serpent also represents the life force and the descent into the material world. > - A kind of **Anubis** rises on the right side of the wheel: This is Hermes, a symbol of intelligence, ascending wisdom and communication. > - The **Sphinx** above the wheel represents the enigmas of life. > - The wheel also contains the **alchemical symbols** (🜁🜂🜃🜄) of: mercury, sulfur, water and salt — the building blocks of life and the four elements. There sure is a lot of Egyptian symbolism there! Paired with the King of Wands for the second symbolism card, I’m getting a push toward the [Egyptian pantheon](https://spells8.com/magic/pagan-devotionals/egyptian-deities/) - perhaps the [Creator God Nun](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Nun-Egyptian-god) or a related deity. [Hermes](https://spells8.com/lessons/hermes-messenger-of-the-gods/) is listed by name for The Wheel of Fortune, so He could be worth looking into. For some reason, the [Norse God Loki](https://forum.spells8.com/t/loki-norse-god-of-mischief/37617) comes to mind too. Just a few more thoughts on the table for you to consider! Whoever it is, good luck and I hope you enjoy connecting with Them 😊 Blessed be! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.spells8.com/t/decipher-the-deity-anyone-up-for-it/58712)._
