The Princess Tarot — As You Wish, the Cards Will Guide You
"As you wish."
Two words. Three syllables. And somehow, the most complete declaration of love in cinema history. If you know, you know. And if you know, you already understand why The Princess Bride and the tarot were always meant to find each other.
The Princess Tarot — Major Arcana is a 22-card deck that brings the magic, romance, and swashbuckling wisdom of Rob Reiner's beloved cult classic into the framework of the Major Arcana. Every card is a scene, a character, a moment from the film — and every card carries the timeless symbolism that has made tarot one of the world's great tools for self-understanding.
Inconceivable? Not at All.
The Princess Bride has always been more than a fairy tale. It is a story about love that endures, courage that surprises, and the kind of wisdom that only comes dressed in absurdity. Westley, Buttercup, Inigo Montoya, Fezzik, Vizzini — these are not just characters. They are archetypes.
- Westley, the farm boy who becomes the Dread Pirate Roberts, is The Fool and The Hero in one — stepping into the unknown for love, transformed by the journey.
- Inigo Montoya, driven by a lifelong quest for justice, carries the energy of Justice and Strength — purpose, patience, and the moment it all finally pays off.
- Buttercup, navigating a world that keeps trying to define her fate, embodies The High Priestess — inner knowing, waiting, and the quiet power of one who trusts.
- Vizzini, so certain of his own intelligence, is The Tower — brilliant, overconfident, and undone in an instant.
