You guys talk about cults and baby killing like those are bad things. As far as cults go, one imaginary friend is pretty much as good as another. The only difference between a cult and a religion is public acceptance. Baby killing...there has to be a jillion babies...I think 80% of fertilized eggs abort on their own. Killing babies is kind of a hobby for God. Besides, babies are stinky, noisy, and expensive...my gassy cat smells better than some babies.
But on to other thoughts that occur at 4AM. I am fascinated by the range of responses here. They certainly reflect a wide range of tastes. Personally, I like the New Orleans Voodoo Tarot.
The one that gives me the creeps...the RWS. Please let me explain...
The artwork for this deck was done in England in the early 1900's. One night while looking at strange things on the internet I came across a web page that talked about the state of dental health in England during this time. Since then I noticed that all the people in the RWS have their mouths shut.
I then started wondering what they would look like if they opened their mouths. I got this picture in my mind of picket-fence rows of teeth, black and green and festering with some odd bubbling coming from a few.
I have never looked at that deck the same way since. Every time I see a person in the card I wonder what their teeth would look like if they opened their mouth.
My current love, on someone's creep list in this thread, is the second edition of the Victorian Romantic. It just seems beautiful to me but at the same time creeps someone else out.
That's just how life is.
