Thanks for the support for such an old idea Gregs!!!
One of the reasons I would like a seperate twilight sub forum- is that in the main Tarot Historians are not readers. I know that is a wide sweeping statement....
I look at the card from two angles one as a reader, one as a person who is interested in reading the card and one who is interested in the History of the card or deck itself. Knowing some History of a deck enriches it's use, and meaning. The Thoth deck investigations are a clear example.
For example I believe that it is entirely possible that along with playing the game Bianca Visconti could well have played a fortune telling game...does he Love me? Will he return from War? Will my children do well? In the renaissance having your stars read was commonplace. So if I want to discuss this subject... where on earth would I place the Thread?
Not in Historical Tarot, not in Visconti or Older decks? Not in Talking Tarot? where?
So if I want to digress into a fanciful area there is no place to post.
I have had some supposedly mad ideas that I speculated on come to fact through discussion and sharing. So have others and I have learned from them. I hope Solandia will grant this request.
