Vlad Dracula Tarot
The Fool - The peasant and his wife
Vlad Dracula came upon a peasant farmer wearing clothes that were full of holes and didnât fit. Upon hearing from the farmerâs wife that he brought home plenty of flax, Vlad ordered her to be impaled. The farmer pleaded for his wife to be spared, but Vlad said: âYour wife has been negligent in her duties despite having a husband who works and tills the land. You will be much happier with another wife.â Vlad warned the farmerâs new wife to be more diligent in her household duties. New beginnings, either positive or negative, come from outside forces disrupting your life. Sometimes the universe knows better than you, it's time to move forward to a better place.

The High Priestess - Vladâs Transylvanian princess
Vlad Dracula had two wives and several mistresses. Several historians believe his first wife was an illegitimate daughter of John Hunyadi, a Hungarian nobleman who was Vladâs ally or adversary depending on the current political situation. Vlad most likely married her to help secure his northern frontier against her father, who was partially responsible for Vladâs first exile from Wallachia.
Not only can The High Priestess reveal mysteries, she is also a keeper and guardian of secrets. This card might indicate a close confidant, one who knows your inner thoughts.
