by zero
I 've wanted to wrap my head around this for a while:
What happens, what is the mental or whatever process, when a card gets a certain meaning to you or, in other words (i.e. pompous nouns):
the exploration of the formation of meaning.
Symbols and their meaning are, I guess, researched by semiotics and when I wikipedia it, I have the three bullets
When I do a tarot reading, I find it most intriguing to watch my thoughts crystallize around the nebulous base meanings of the cards,
and I just like to explore this in a more formal way.
Mr Google offered me some pointers to threads in the AT and also to Dr. Inna Semetsky which should prove helpful.
This will be a make-up-our-plans-as-we-go study, since I don't know enough yet to propose a path. I will start with hopping along the links.
ETA:
It seems to be straight forward: starting with Memories of the Past, Memories of the Future: Semiotics and the Tarot by Inna Semetsky...
