berrieh always comes through!
thanks for the analogies. Already I liked the very clear thinking of "the cost" idea and the spread that went with it.
I too find that I largely look at tarot as a sort of non-discursive language as well.
I had been extremely curious about the concept of "reading between the cards" and it finally came together for me as "syntax". I feel I have a fair vocabulary (like a foreign language exam when you read a passage without the dictionary and make a summary of it, or have to translate) but maybe stumbling syntax. I speak pidgin tarot.
I do reversals, but will probably have to learn dignities at anyrate anyway. Aargh. (I'm still scared of the Star thread but if I can get my thoughts togeher on that will post again there)
Thanks for the encouragement.
I would really love to hear from others how their early questionless tarot experiences (blush) fared.
It'd really help me not to feel like a fraud
