another look
When I looked at the bar codes I saw that there was an ISBN number. I tried and tried to make out the numbers so that I could look them up and see if there was a hit on a book. I think that more than any other deck I have this deck has confronted me with the questions about how I obtain the meanings But to no avail.
A couple of things I have been considering this week about these cards is what other think of the cards.
The classic deck image on each card tells me that each card can and does mean now what it has always meant. The cards are inconic images that everyone who studies tarot have a similar idea of what the meaning is.
The background of the pips tell me that they are also part of a greater story and relate to the other cards. Each card is in itself a snapshot of a greater story. Each day in our life is also a single image of the greater picture of our lives. I have to look and see what some cards say about other cards.
The stamp on them might be a symbol for who we each while working with a deck of cards personalize the meaning through our intuitive sense, our study and our reading about other's understanding of the cards. Tarot is one of those great sciences where opinions are not wrong simply different. In my study I find that the key importance for a working tarot system is that it is a consistent system. Whatever works for someone else is great but I know what works for me.
In my next post I think I am going to take a look at the disconnect I have between the major and the minor suits.
