Tarot cards have been used for centuries as a means of divination and self-reflection. The art of reading tarot cards dates back to the 14th century, but in recent years, there has been a resurgence in interest in this ancient practice. One particular branch of tarot that has gained popularity is contemporary witchcraft tarot. Contemporary witchcraft tarot is a modern interpretation of the traditional tarot deck that incorporates elements of witchcraft, paganism, and the occult. This unique approach to tarot draws on a wide range of influences, from ancient mythology to modern-day witchcraft practices. The cards in a contemporary witchcraft tarot deck often have illustrations that depict witches, fairies, and other magical beings, along with symbolic imagery that relates to the spiritual and mystical aspects of witchcraft.
Carnival Magic completes dry-dock, debuting all-new Carnival Cruise Line livery
Carnival Magic has left dry-dock at the shipyard in Marseilles, France, revealing the new Carnival Cruise Line livery that is being rolled out across the fleet.
Carnival Magic is the first ship in the Carnival Cruise Line fleet to get the new livery, which is based on the hull colour scheme that was first introduced aboard the new Mardi Gras.

The Dream-class Carnival Magic completed her dry dock on May 24th, and has now been replaced in the shipyard by Carnival Glory, which will also receive the new livery, in addition to other upgrades during the refit.
Carnival Magic’s refit and refurbishment was fairly light, with some cosmetic changes made to the ship’s public rooms, such as new carpets and soft furnishing, while the casino was also expanded to include more slot machines.
The WaterWorks aqua park and pool areas also got some updates. This was the first refit and refubishment of Carnival Magic since 2016.
She is the first cruise ship (after Mardi Gras) to sail with Carnival’s shiny new red, white and blue livery, which is both a nod to the iconic carnival colors and the traditional navy-blue colours of officer uniforms, while also channeling the colour palette of the American flag.
The new livery is based on that of Mardi Gras, the line’s new flagship
The new livery was announced just after Carnival Cruise Line dismissed rumours that it might move homeports from the US to the Caribbean due to the ongoing (at that time) suspension of US cruises by the CDC.
During an interview, Christine Duffy, President & CEO of Carnival Cruise Line, said that the company was “America’s cruise line” and would always sail from US ports.
The line’s patience paid off, as it was recently given permission to resume US cruises this July, and the livery appears to be a clear statement about Carnival Cruise Line’s roots.
With the situation on resuming cruises from the US remaining fluid and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) making ongoing updates to its Conditional Sailing Order, Carnival Magic’s return is not yet decided.
For now, Carnival plans on resuming cruises with just four ships in July. In the following months, even more vessels will begin to restart cruises.

Carnival Ships By Age: Newest to Oldest (2024)
Carnival Cruise Line has been around since 1972, with the first cruise setting sail on March 11, 1972. Since then, the cruising industry has changed dramatically. In fact, the original Mardi Gras was advertised as being 27,000 gross tons, while her namesake which was launched in 2021 is a little over 180,000 gross registered tons.
Today's newest ships tend to have the most onboard amenities, whether it is an increased number of dining venues and bars or one-of-a-kind attractions at sea like the roller coaster BOLT. Some cruisers, however, prefer older ships due to their smaller size, as they have a more intimate feel and often visit destinations that are unable to accommodate the larger mega-ships.
Whether you are a fan of newer or older ships, Carnival's fleet of 24 has a ship that will satisfy every type of traveler. Here is a list of Carnival's ships by age as of 2024.
The cards in a contemporary witchcraft tarot deck often have illustrations that depict witches, fairies, and other magical beings, along with symbolic imagery that relates to the spiritual and mystical aspects of witchcraft. One of the key features of contemporary witchcraft tarot is its emphasis on personal empowerment and self-discovery. Unlike traditional tarot decks, which can be seen as more deterministic in nature, contemporary witchcraft tarot encourages individuals to tap into their inner wisdom and intuition to guide their interpretation of the cards.
Carnival Sunshine (1996)
ImageThe oldest ship in Carnival's fleet is Carnival Sunshine. When she began sailing in 1996, however, she was Carnival Destiny and was the first cruise ship to ever exceed 100,000 gross tons. In 2013, she underwent a major refurbishment and was renamed Carnival Sunshine.
This approach opens up a world of possibilities for self-reflection and personal growth, as individuals can use the cards to explore their own desires, fears, strengths, and weaknesses. Another important aspect of contemporary witchcraft tarot is its connection to the natural world. Many of the cards in a witchcraft tarot deck are inspired by the cycles of nature, incorporating symbolism related to the seasons, elements, and celestial bodies. This connection to nature helps individuals deepen their understanding of the interconnectedness of all things and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world. In addition to its spiritual and self-reflective aspects, contemporary witchcraft tarot can also be seen as a tool for spellwork and rituals. The cards can be used to guide individuals in creating personal rituals or to gain insights into the potential outcomes of specific actions or intentions. This practical aspect of witchcraft tarot makes it a versatile tool for those interested in incorporating witchcraft into their daily lives. Overall, contemporary witchcraft tarot offers a fresh and modern approach to the ancient practice of tarot reading. It combines elements of witchcraft, paganism, and the occult to create a unique and empowering experience. Whether used for self-reflection, spellwork, or simply for the enjoyment of connecting with the mystical, contemporary witchcraft tarot can be a valuable tool for those seeking guidance, empowerment, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them..
