Very nice, nortytiger
Love the "bound up" analogy. It's like a tangled mess that somehow undoes itself

What a wonderful thought! I like that! The urge towards balance and harmony after the asymmetrical, off-set coins and then the Swords streamlined. I think that's incredibly beautiful and it really resonates with me! Thank you!moderndayruth said:While looking at the new draw, i thought of various art movements;
for example 7 Coins can be viewed as primitive art; something drawn in a cave; the four cups remind me for some reason of Baroque and the 3 of Swords of minimalism; so to me this draw would be about evolution, progression and reduction, where all the unnecessary drops out and only the idea (Swords) remain.
Ohh, thank you Le Fanu!Le Fanu said:What a wonderful thought! I like that! The urge towards balance and harmony after the asymmetrical, off-set coins and then the Swords streamlined. I think that's incredibly beautiful and it really resonates with me! Thank you!
I can see this, but I have to remind myself to pull back and remember this is not a reading. I want to look at the formal aspects of these images (I mean, formal as in "related to the form", not formal as in "polite"!) I need this. I need to train myself to just look at how the images relate to each other as if they were a triptych altarpiece.thinbuddha said:YES!
I normally don't even do readings without a subject matter. This is a very different spread if you insert different questions.
"What are my prospects for a promotion?" leads to a very different interpretation than "How is my girlfriend really feeling about our relationship?".
Le Fanu said:for a newbie nortytiger, that was quite impressive. However (and this is not directed at your interpretation, more at mine) the whole vine theme, by its very nature, would inevitably lead to analogies of strangulation, penetration, dividing, growth, enclosing... Might we find that we find these analogies all over again with other coins and cup cards? Let's see...
