Quote: There are lots of fairy tales. I remember the professor telling me once how people need to be storied to get over their fears. We were talking about the elements of fairy tales and their relevance to the World As It Is, the here and now in which we all live. It was just the three of us—Christy, the professor, and me—sitting in that old-fashioned drawing room of the professor’s that he uses as a study. People who’ve never read fairy tales, the professor said, have a harder time coping in life than the people who have. They don’t have access to all the lessons that can be learned from the journeys through the dark woods and the kindness of strangers treated decently, the knowledge that can be gained from the company and example of Donkeyskins and cats wearing boots and steadfast tin soldiers. I’m not talking about in-your-face lessons, but more subtle ones. The kind that seep up from your unconscious and give you moral and humane structures for your life. That teach you how to prevail, and trust. And maybe even love.

The High Priestess?

maria42airam	07 Sep 2004
It's not the High Priestess, although I can see where it would fit... hidden mysteries and all. Good try, but that isn't the card I am looking for. Maria

Kittaine	08 Sep 2004
The Moon?

maria42airam	08 Sep 2004
Nope, not The Moon either. Maria

telcontar	08 Sep 2004
Maybe the Seven of Cups?

anubis	08 Sep 2004
Strength

maria42airam	08 Sep 2004
So far the High Priestess is the closest guess. Maria

littlehermit	08 Sep 2004
Queen of Cups?

telcontar	08 Sep 2004
Page of Cups

anubis	08 Sep 2004
ace of cups

arcanalefait	08 Sep 2004
The fool? It strikes me as such a journey. Arcana

maria42airam	08 Sep 2004
not yet! How about a clue? --> Perspective Oakdragon is still the closest I think. Maria

telcontar	08 Sep 2004
The Hierophant!? Probably to far-fetched :confused:

Kittaine	08 Sep 2004
2 of Wands?

maria42airam	08 Sep 2004
It's not the Hierophant or the 2 of wands. I'll have to think of another clue that won't give it away. The first guess, Oakdragon's, is still the closest! Maria

OakDragon	08 Sep 2004
5 of cups?

kryztyna	08 Sep 2004
queen of swords?

maria42airam	08 Sep 2004
hmm... no, not the 5 of cups or the queen of swords. I will give a second clue --> Patterns Maria

telcontar	09 Sep 2004
I can see the ten of cups in it, too. But that's not all too much like the High Priestess...

arcanalefait	09 Sep 2004
temperance

maria42airam	09 Sep 2004
Not yet. It's not the 10 of cups or Temperance. Here is another clue --> personal vision Maria

Eco74	09 Sep 2004
Wheel of Fortune...

maria42airam	09 Sep 2004
WOOO!!!!! Correct Eco74. I was going by the keywords/actions on www.learntarot.com (since I'm truly a newbie at Tarot) Quote: Wheel of Fortune – having a personal vision seeing how everything connects becoming more aware uncovering patterns and cycles expanding your outlook gaining greater perspective discovering your role and purpose The Wheel of Fortune can indicate a vision or realization that strikes with great force. If you've been struggling with a problem or tough situation, this card can signal that you will find the answer if you stand back and view everything from a larger perspective. Congrats and it's all yours. Maria
