you could make a tarot of glass bottles, each filled with an appropriate mead. I myself make a mean Mead of the Sun (has herbs astrologically ruled by the Sun in it) and formulated recipes for other planets too. Why not expand it to Tarot?<grin> I can see why they did it. I'm currently painting myself a set of Tarot glass bottles. Shuffling has already been pointed out to me as a potential problem, but I'm enjoying the project. I think I'll just scatter them around the house, and "read" whichever one or ones grabs my attention at the time. A tarot of shells could work the same way. Have them grouped on shelves, in pot-plants, in bowls ... drill tiny holes in them and make mobiles or shell-curtains ... It could be a lot of fun.
