Does anyone know what's up with the dolphin on the Three of Batons in the Sheridan-Douglas? It seems like an unusual choice for this suit. I have Douglas' book The Tarot,but it doesn't give an explanation.
Antonius said:Here is my interpretation of the Sheridan three of batons.
First of all we see the three batons (or wands) represented by the three masts supporting the sails of the ship,the ship at sea is the launching of a great venture,the sighting of the dolphin is a great omen in this venture,as the dolphin does indeed symbolize great intelligence,communication,kindness,and co-operation.
Maybe the dolphin is offering help and guidence to the sailing ship?and will guide the ship to safety and success.?
So if we put this together we can see the divinatory meaning of great successful launching of plans and new ideas,also success with the help and guidence and co-operation of others (the Dolphin).
Well thats how i have always read this card.But we should all adopt our own meanings based on the feelings we get from this card,they will be all slightly different but correct for you.
There's no time like the present! The quality is sterling,Abrac said:I would like to get the Sheridan-Douglas reprint too at some point. Still thinking about it.
