i got the ananda and margarete peterson deck today! i'm simply estatic over these decks. they make me feel so warm and fuzzy. :D now my world would be complete if i could get a little help w/ a few german translations. i think i'll be able to read the ananda but if i knew for sure what a few words meant that task would be easier. for the most part i can guess by the pictures. from the margarete peterson: mutter-mother munzen?earth vater-father tochter-daughter sohn-son flammen-flame? kelche-?cup federn? swords ananda: der narr-the fool der liebenden-the lovers das schicksalsrad-wheel of fortune die kraft-strength die umkehr-the hanged man der tod-death der ausgleich-temperance die zeitenwende-judgement das universum-the universe or the world? kugeln-pentacles? konig-king ritter konigin-queen prinzessin-princess thanks! i really appreciate any help.

I found a German to English dictionary online (Cups come up as tasse). You can plug in a word & see what comes up--but pick the D to E or E to D choice for whether or not you're using the German word first. http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/

Kelche is cups, and I think Ritter is page, or prince.

Hi tarotlady, Thanks for stepping in, if there are further questions concerning these decks, pl do not hesitate to contact me. Liliana, your Ananada is on the way together with 5 US$ for getting the High John incence for me. German mail is yucki, I already complaint several times there but until now in vain.

die umkehr - the reversal der ausgleich - adjustment, or balance die zeitenwende - hm... that's difficult; I guess it's along the lines of Crowley's Aeon or Tolkien's Third Age, Fourth Age, etc. - the end of one period of time and the begin of another. Kugeln - spheres Ritter - Knight Münzen - Coins

I know its on the way caitlin, I just ordered in the High John incense last night (a big pack Im going to have to split hehe) Im not in a big hurry I just got my replacement Rohrig And I thought US post sucked lol :THP

Hi Truthsayer! How are you doing? Good translations. :) If you need anything else translated, simply send it to me. Those Internet translators can be very tricky at times - I tried several... I would be glad to help you if I can. BTW, "Zeitenwende" can also be translated with turn of the tide, I think. It can be interpreted in some ways, even in German, it depends on what you refer to. And just to let you know what mail REALLY sucks: US Army mail! Boy, you would wait AGES to get anything that is being send with this mail... in general German mail is good and fast, I guess it is the "international" that makes it slow... ;) BB, Helruna

Liliana	19 Jul 2002
Well first gosh darn German mail has to get it to me, and I had told Caitlin she could keep the book if she wanted so I dont know if the book will be with it hehe :THP

Helruna	19 Jul 2002
lol - oh well, just let me know whenever you know if the book is coming with it or not... although I always prefer to have the book with a "new" deck...! ;) Request for copy noted down, mam. :) BB, Helruna
