Hooked on TdM
Yes I know there are piles of threads on this. I have read them. I've also read books, online sites and done my own studies.. I'm curious as to how others see this.
Since I just received my full Dodal, I am going through each card. I write down my physical description of each card. Any observations or feelings about it. Then possible meanings for each.. I'm now starting on the pips.
Pips I use the same method but also have associations or aspects. Elemental associations are very loose for me but help me to remember intellect, emotion, spirit, and physical. I've looked at these six ways to Sunday and find that no matter what I am firm in seeing this relationship.
Cups: emotional (water), heart level, church love higher learning (occupations)
Swords: intellect (fire), brow level, warriors nobility authority
Wands: physical (earth), groin level, peasants servants labour
Coins: spiritual (air), belly level, merchants commerce achievement
Wands and coins were giving me grief. I can see how that can be reversed but wands just scream physical to me. Coins were really the issue. Then I seen how the shape (circular) is repeated in the world and wheel. The highest achievement, to me, is spiritual ascension. Everything is cyclic. Etc...
I am wondering how others have come to the conclusions of what suit is associated with what. Does this change from deck to deck for you or remain stable?
