Feel free to contribute to existing discussions and also to open new threads pertaining to not as yet discussed cards.

Just another small point... it might be helpful if each new card discussion followed the same subject title format as those above. So... for instance... in the subject titled, it would be preferable to state:

LS Secret Tarot - ***Card Name***

eg. LS Secret Tarot - The Sun

As an aside, there is a general study group thread relating to the Secret Tarot, here:

GREAT.....Thanks Centaur!!!

I have recently acquired the Secret deck (FINALLY!) and am anxious to join the discussion threads.

This makes it MUCH easier for me to jump in and have a quick-reference/summary of which cards have been discussed so far...

Just thought I would bump this thread to note that the images of the Secret Tarot are now on the AT deck listings.

Oooo... and it is also the deck of the week.

Cool


I had been following this thread on and off as I admit that this deck is one of my favorites.
Here is an easy access to The cards
I may decide to post a few of my thoughts on the cards soon.

Secret tarot


Is there any interest in reviving this deck for discussion?

I tried to comment on a post from 2004 but I didn't have permission!!!

Yes Sanctum. I just got this deck and am now working with it a bit. Right out of the box it didn't really sing at me, but I'm a newb at tarot so it's likely just my inexperience. I've starting posting a few thoughts in the study group for different cards.

If I wanted to add new threads for other cards, how would I add that to the table of contents at the beginning of this thread?

Here's a general question about this deck: why the varying skin tones? Some are very natural, some are very pale, and some are very greenish. Still other characters are completely hidden--we see no flesh at all. For example, the knight of chalices is covered in armor head to toe. Wait a sec...actually, he might have exposed hands. Hard to tell.

Start a new thread and then send a pm to Sulis who will add it to the index.

I haven't thought about the different skin tones before. Not sure if it's deliberate. It tends to be that the women have very pale skins and the men are more bronzed; it makes the women look more beautiful and the men more experienced!
I find it fascinating that some of the outfits have a distinct twenties feel about them whereas the deck as a whole is quite medieval fairy tale. I think there's even less to read into this observation, though; it probably is just artistic inconsistency.
