John Morton as The Hierophant—faith, tradition, and sharp political instincts.
A man who blended spiritual authority with real-world power, Morton guided the crown through chaos and into stability. #Tarot #History

The Emperor – Henry VII
Order. Legacy. Control.
The man who seized a kingdom and built a dynasty.
He may not have been flashy, but he was shrewd, stable, and ruthlessly effective.

The High Priestess – Jacquetta of Luxembourg
Water goddess blood. Accused witch. Survivor.
Jacquetta claimed descent from Melusine, the water spirit. Twice accused of witchcraft, she walked away both times.

Hopefully I’m not the only one who thinks this. He deserves way more hype than Henry VIII. @mattlewishistory.bsky.social @goingmedieval.bsky.social #henryvii #warsoftheroses #underrated #tudors #warsoftherosestarot #kingofengland #tarotdeck

Up next in the wars of the roses tarot deck is my girl Maggie B. Aka Margaret Beaufort. This lady had power and knew how to use it. Qualities which are perfect for the magician card. Shoutout to @queenspodcast.bsky.social for inspiration. #prayhardschemeharder #tarot #margaretbeaufort #history

Margaret Beaufort tarot card. The magician.

The first card in my Wars of the Roses Tarot Deck!
HENRY VII 🌹
Before he was king, he was just a boy in exile, burdened with a dangerous bloodline.
Inspired by @mattlewishistory sharing the real stories behind medieval power and politics.

I’m so excited to share my first card in my Wars of the Roses Tarot Deck!
THE FOOL – HENRY VII 🌹
Before he was king, he was just a boy in exile, burdened with a dangerous bloodline and nothing certain ahead — except the weight of a legacy.
In this card, Henry steps onto the path not with naïveté, but quiet determination. His red rose is not yet a banner — it’s a question.
The Fool marks new beginnings, risk, and trust in the unknown. Just like Henry. Just like anyone who dares to start.
Inspired by countless hours of @mattlewishistory and @EleanorJanega sharing the real stories behind medieval power and politics.

Coming up next we have the magician. A powerful Tudor Lady… Any guesses?
