Ahhh, ruin, that makes sense. Thanks Rodney!
Neither my University Press nor my Carol Publishing (who bought out University Press) decks came with LWBs.KariRoad said:Hello Rodney,
The University Press LWB has a truly amazing "typo" in that it also appears in the early (Waddingtons era) Rider Blue Box LWBs. Since the University Press LWB employs English spellings (labour, catalogue, and such) my feeling is, somehow, University Press "borrowed" the text for their RARE little-white-book. Do you have copies to compare? It's a cute little duplicated mistake, in the front part (hint, hint).

In the earliest LWBs for the "Rider" Tarot deck, pre-usgamesystemsinc., on Page 7 one finds:rwcarter said:Neither my University Press nor my Carol Publishing (who bought out University Press) decks came with LWBs.
As for the typo, are you referring to an extra "e" somewhere there shouldn't be one?
Rodney
On the surface, at least, it is an can be only the resurrection of that triad - father, mother, child - whom we have met with already in the eighth card.
Waite 1910: re XV The Devil
"There is a ring in front of the altar, from which two chains are carried to the necks of two figures, male and female. These are analogous with those of the fifth card, as if Adam and Eve after the Fall. Hereof is the chain and fatality of the material life."
The fifth card? Hereof is a doozy of a "misprint" from the pen of Grand Orient.
Welcome to Aeclectic, KariRoad!
There are numerous examples of Waite's descriptions not syncing up with Colman Smith's art. But that is an out and out typo that also appears in my University Press PKT. Unless he was cryptically referring to the two acolytes in the Hierophant.... at the thought....
Rodney
Rodney, I was wondering if you have an earlier version of the PKT now you wouldn't mind checking to see if this is indeed a typo or not? Appreciate it.
Unless Waite or Pixie were hinting at a Yentl-like subterfuge (of course long before Barbara Streisand was even born, much less making the movie ) where one of the figures before the Hierophant is a woman masquerading as a man. at the thought.Ahh, okay. This must have been a misprint from the get-go and should be "sixth." There's no mention of Adam & Eve in the fifth card but there is in the sixth.
