Oh, there is probably *some* symbolic significance to the stuff in the VR. It may be that my approach to tarot is more oracular than I want to admit.* I mean, I know the cards have specific meanings, I use them, but how I react to the "story" created by a combination of cards is frankly fairly free-associative. The other stuff--alchemy, astrology, Qabalah--is almost too much data for me to handle in one reading.thorhammer said:Oh, but . . . it's so easy! Soo . . . perfectly natural A picture's just a picture to me these days I struggle to see anything of meaning in it.
Years ago, when I got back into Tarot, I had the Victorian Romantic and was on another forum. I kept driving the other members mad with questions like, "Why is that dove there??" "Why is she facing to her left?" "Is it significant that the such-and-such is red in this card and blue in another? Does that mean the cards are linked?"
Of course, being the VR, these things are aesthetic elements, not symbolic I just needed to find a deck that was jammed with more symbolic esotericism than I could ever hope to chew on and I'd be right. I found it *shrug* and now nothing is the same . . .
