The person that introduced me to the cards said forget the books and go with intuition. And you are right a lot of decks are shallow imitations.Carolyn Tindorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021732104470702542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381019337816177372.post-39861847397174316062017-05-16T12:34:11.975-07:002017-05-16T12:34:11.975-07:00the deck you are using was the first to show figur...the deck you are using was the first to show figures and actions, prior to that they were basically pip cards, showing 8 coins, 6 swords etc. When Waite designed his deck for a Golden Dawn project, he put a lot of thought into the colors. They all mean something, helping to work out the deep symbology of the card. The Thoth was printed several decades later but was also created for that same exercise. <br />I get impatient with many artists of today who create their decks with no symbology at all, it is just ooo I'm going to put four swords in this painting and think they've said it all...<br />and they've said nothing except to show their shallow understanding of the cards.Sharyn Mallow Woerzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776056375534578046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381019337816177372.post-5803869092796345282017-05-16T08:41:53.462-07:002017-05-16T08:41:53.462-07:00Ah what a lovely thought, giving the mind a rest. ...Ah what a lovely thought, giving the mind a rest.
