This thread may be mundane to andvanced readers but anyone else may read away. I've been stuck on the images of the Magician and fool for several weeks. Until i figured they contrasted each other then i decided to use this method on other cards Ex. The fool is a sign of free will, openess, and foolishness. The magician on the other hand symbolises responsibility, a more closed personality, and wisdom. I tried contrasts similar to this with big results ever since then my readings have become so much better. Pretty good idea for a 13 year old huh? i just wanted to share this with all of you. P.S. If it seems i've been popping in and out my mom has been sick lately and my sister was going to oklohoma with my stepdad for his school so i havent had much free time lately but my moms better now and my stepdads back so i can relax. Tarots one of the few things thats kept me sane during this time.

Yami: Glad to see you've stuck around. There are lots of other contrasts that are food for thought. The one you named is a good one. There's the Pope and the Emperor (church and state)-- Popesse and Empress (virgin goddess and mother goddess)-- Lovers and Chariot (love and war)-- Pope and Hermit (formal religion and spiritualism)-- Wheel and Judgment (the chance occurrence of random events and God's plan) (not coincidentally numbered X and XX)-- Justice and the Hanged Man (law and punishment)-- Tower and Star (suffering and hope)-- Sun and Moon (illumination and reflection)-- and those just scratch the surface. The potential list isn't endless, but it's very large. Tarot will probably help you with your schooling because among other things, it exercises a person's capacity for both analytical thinking and systems of classification.

Yeah your right i've been playing this one video game named golden sun2 and i've been whizzing through the puzzles and they're the same difficulty as the first game in the first game it took me hours of constant thinking just to solve one. But i've been whizzing through puzzles at rates like at 10 minutes.

Yami Yugi: It looks like ye have hit on a great way to not only learn the possible meanings, but to enhance the insight! Perhaps ye can keep us updated as to the results. Catboxer's list of contrasts offer much food for thought (thanks, Catboxer)!
