Thank you guys so much for your advice! After I posted, I did end up putting them all back in order. I chatted in yahoo for a while, sliding them back and forth between my hands. Have mercy on me, I even set them on my bed while I slept!
I'm sitting here now taking a break from my days work, looking through them again. ( I'm using a rws deck. ) I'll write out what I notice new, so that maybe the others that are trying to reconnect can gain insight and inspiration from me. Maybe all of you will look again, to see if there is anything new for you.
I see the fool here, so carefree... ignoring the warnings of the little white dog. I look at cards 1 through 7, and notice a few new things. Somehow, in all the years, I never actually seen the wand on the table. I also noticed symbols on the front of his table. I never noticed the water before in the Empress and Emperor. Never noticed that the lovers aren't looking at each other. And there is water behind the Chariot, too.
The next set, cards 8 through 14 have some new things in them now, too. All the animals on the Wheel have books. Justice is sitting in front of a curtain with a shoe sticking out. There is a ship and what seems to be a city in Death. What I thought was a sunset in Temperance isn't really a sunset.
Cards 15 through 21 seem the same, except there are some questions for me to find out. Why is the top of the Tower a crown? Rather then sitting there, the bird in the Star seems to have just landed. The Sun and the Horse seem to be looking right at you when the child isn't. The creatures in the World are the same ones as on the Wheel.
The wands all look the same to me. The cups has some new things. There is a house in the 2. It looks like there is a guard in the 6. Who is behind the cloak in the 7? There are a handful of fish in the courts... why all the fish? I look at the swords, and notice there is a small posse in the distance in the 7. All the courts have birds in them. I go back the the wands to see what fire symbol is in all the courts, and I find they are all in the desert. Forward to the pentacles, I notice that the child in the 10 seems interested in the man. In the courts, they all have cultivated vegitation. Holy cow! A snail just jumped out right in front of my eyes on the 9!
I will have quite the interesting time visiting iconography section of AT to look deeper into all the things I mentioned. I know that I will learn new things, and it's likely that I'll find more new things as I work my way through there.
I invite all of you to pull out your workhorse deck and look through it again. If you enjoy using a RWS deck, look through it at well. What do you see new?
Perhaps we should ALL take a look again, and deepen our bond with our 78 friends we thought we knew like the back of our hand!
