Hello all,
I posted this issue in the "Talking Tarot" section, got answers back from Apocalipstik (Thank you! You have indeed helped. ), and she suggested that I post here for more information, et cetera. So, here it is:
Any and all feedback is (as usual) very welcome.

StellarMyst said:OK, here's the situation:
I stumbled upon a website (It might have been referred, but I have so many things going at once I just plain don't remember! lol) that says there are associations to the Tarot that correspond with various "land areas" (for lack of a better term...long nights are strange things...! lol). This is under, "Elemental Attributes of Various Decks" (at the Link below):

I was wondering if any of you had ever heard of this before? Notice that some of the places listed are Continents (such as Europe...), and some are much smaller land areas (such as Hungary, Egypt etc. ...). Have you ever questioned whether or not the Tarot, while reflecting our subconscious, as well as our conscious mind, could in turn, reflect our national origins through cultural associations etc.?
The basis for my last question in the above paragraph, is this:
We know (to some extent..), that nations differ in culture and basic national 'identity'. With this comes such things as caste-systems, social ideals of 'higher classes', and so forth. I should add, that (obviously..) different countries have different national issues and histories. If the tarot can reflect the things going on around us, why not the evolving, rich cultural trappings around us? Wouldn't the tarot reflect this somewhat?
If you can help me investigate this further, or perhaps point me in the direction of an individual who might be able to help, I would absolutely love it!
Thank you in advance.
Yours,
