Hello :) kilts knave! Could you please elaborate on "etc."
This is a sincere question and I think it may help here to
define the focus: numerology, symbology, history, etc.
Right there, you've cast a wide net, ranging and varied.
Any specific areas you wish to exclude from discussion?

I will preview the post as soon as I can - but thought of 'color' as a subject topic as well?
The deck has a what I feel is a distinctive palate of colors used on all the cards - one of thie things I see that bind the cards together as a deck - will we be discussing this aspect possibly?

Just a thought..

Yes, some "etcs.:" Coloring, background, compare & contrast (artwork, that is), and other things that it is too early for me to think of at the moment...

I just wanted to make sure people didn't wander off into (what LittleBuddha calls) an interpration of an interpretation of an interpretation...

Hi KK

As you may have read in another thread, I am using this deck at the moment.

Thank you for the hard work put in with this refresher course. It is most interesting.
