I'm jumping in here, not having read through the whole thread, so I'm sorry if you have a particular group going for this study. I didn't want to start a whole new thread for something about these cards that occurred to me last night.
I just got this deck. Couldn't resist it, after seeing what everyone was saying about it. The first day I drew the cards, they didn't make sense to me, until I drew the same messages from my Faeries Oracle!! Now, isn't that strange? How cards from a different deck will throw light on the previous one.
Anyway, I can't help comparing TAD with poetry. For me, poetry is encapsulated thought and, therefore, more powerful than prose. This is how I see TAD and its messages. They seem short and sweet, but they are really "dense" and layered with meaning and interpretation, even metaphor.
The two cards I drew today made perfect sense. Perhaps we needed to adjust to each other's company? LOL
Good analogy the Hitchcock one! Filme Noir, of course, but hadn't thought of H.
I would like to join you, once in a while, if that's alright.
