Re: Court cards in the Tabula Mundi

I will have to take a look. The Book of Thoth has been my go-to for decades for what Crowley terms the "moral characteristics" of the court cards. I'm curious though, since in the Golden Dawn/Thoth system, the Knight and not the Prince is associated with the third decan of Aquarius. The Pr...

Re: #5 January 29 -February 5

the Albano-Waite RWS for me :oho: - WOW! I don't know if I've ever come across anybody who admitted to favoring the Albano! Tell me more, please. Why that one? I'm intrigued. I've always been strangely drawn to it, but have yet to pull the trigger. I first learned about it from Richard, another mem...

Re: It Feels so Nice!

Griz! So happy to see you here. I'm still up to my usual arcane noodling (and still using your excellent randomizing technique, to which I added reversal). Regrading color matching, you can probably guess why so many of my clothes are gray. :icon_e_biggrin:

Thoth, Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus, and the Albano-Waite RWS for me, but the Thoth is far ahead.

Re: Court cards in the Tabula Mundi

I've been having an e-mail conversation with a well-known British tarot writer and historical deck enthusiast who has been out-of-touch for a number of years with more recent developments in the world of tarot. We agreed that there isn't much in the realm of modern esoteric literature that has been ...

Re: Your Myers-Briggs type

I think I posted this somewhere before, but here it is again: I've known for years that I'm an INTJ type (although I didn't need the MBTI to tell me that); we had to do it for work one time quite a while ago. I ran the test again recently and nothing has changed. Introvert(41%) iNtuitive(59%) Thinki...

Re: Sallie Nichols' "Jung and Tarot" - to buy or not to buy?

I've been holding off on it based on some of the luke-warm reviews I've read. It's supposedly long on psychology and short on tarot. There are other options; I think you already mentioned the first one somewhere. Hmm. my links to Amazon didn't work. They are to the tarot and psychology books by Arth...

I could hear a bit of jazz there and they'd put some thought into it. Was it a successful come-back?
Yes, it won a handful of Grammy awards.
