Tarot, How to Read the Future (Fred Gettings) - Page 2

Catti:

I suspect we're all talking about the same book, which has been published under two different titles. You can read more about it in another thread; which oddly enough, links back to the thread we're on now. Small world, huh?

a pseudo- infancy gospel? What does that mean?
and there is more than one image associated with the tower image presented by Gettings supposedly in Reims Cathedral?
can i see this online ? or do i have to travel to France?

The image he gives as coming from Reims is not from there, but rather from another city - and the largest Lumiere/Gothic Cathedral of them all, at Amiens.

Reims is located east of Paris, whereas Amiens is North.

Upon Amiens Cathedral are numerous other stone carvings, some of which may be viewed online at one of the better (amongst numerous) Amiens Cathedral sites.

The pseudo-infancy gospels (part of the apocrypha) are stories about the life and childhood of Jesus, some of which have been included in a wonderful resource called The Other Bible, recently re-printed and still easily available.

Have we decided that the 1973 Hamlyn printing called The Book of Tarot is that same one? If it is (and I have a copy ... borrowed permanently - nice word for stolen - from my father's bookshelf LOL), it often comes up on ebay here in Australia for ridiculously low prices, for anyone who is desperate for a copy!

Edited -- Hated it, but now think it's very useful!!
