View Full Version : common through the majors
I was just wondering is there a common symbol or something on each card to join the journey of the Fool to each card?
I know that PSW is on each card. Just wondering if there is a sign that I'm missing. I thought a tiny star on each card would be symbolic, but there is no showing of anything that I can tell.

PSW is the artist's signature, but the only deck I know of that has a common thread through it is the Halloween Tarot with the black cat in every card, though it doesn't indicate which card comes in sequence.
Maybe someone else knows?

Where is the PCS on the Fool? I don't see it on that card anywhere, but it is on every other card.
(fixed PSW to PCS)
Thanks mercenary30!
This PSW not on the Fool, which I never noticed before, can drive someone like me insane!
Besides that putting me over the edge I keep putting PSW,where I got that from I don't know.
Sorry, it is PCS.

Isn't it on the bottom in the rockwork, sideways, just under the dog?

buildings (perhaps masonic symbilism) are present behind many of the scenes througout the deck but not on every card. It starts with teh Chariot and appropriatly so since a mans home is his castle, and that's exactly is what behind the charioteer.

I suppose it could be, but it is not very legible.

As to why there is no common symbol for "The Fool's Journey", the answer is probably, that such a concept never occurred to Waite.
Perhaps there is no Fool's Journey, at least not in the way that has been popularised in recent years.
Perhaps that journey is not linear at all.

A good point, Vincent.
Some even feel that it is actually the Magician's journey.

Hmm, I just went to look at my RRWS deck to see for myself, and on this version, I noticed that the signature has been removed from each card!
