Some people really connect with them. But what I find a lot of depth in is the guidebook that comes with it and the reasoning behind the images.Tierney Sadlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508037058967261204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627357967936193401.post-22872669074742469102012-02-29T17:07:17.958-05:002012-02-29T17:07:17.958-05:00Slightly off topic, but can I say what a crime and...Slightly off topic, but can I say what a crime and a half it is that this deck isn't in print, let alone widely available?

I think there's a lot to be said for the correlation between what a person does for a living and the amount of tradition. You being an architect and that other dude being an engineer, makes sense. You have standards you have to adhere to. Everything is precise. Whereas I get paid to color outside the lines. It's not fair to say "the creative mind" vs "the analytical mind", because we both are strong in both. But perhaps it's which mind the heart lies in? My whole job is about finding new ways to see things. That's part of your job, but structure and adherence is a bigger part.Tierney Sadlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508037058967261204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627357967936193401.post-84301929446781626122012-02-28T12:02:51.940-05:002012-02-28T12:02:51.940-05:00I like following "the way" as well, espe...I like following "the way" as well, especially when it is a serendipitous one. Like, The High Priestess sits at or outside the portal with windbreak-quieting veil looking IN at us AS the center of The Temple of Self, inducing Initiation. And, The Hierophant sits inside, and from a perimeter edge (though a circle has no sides) directs us outside FROM our Temple of Self? <br /><br />I respect your 20-25% traditional. Personally, as soon as I put a number on "traditional", it goes up a little to about 98%. As soon as I began using that new number, traditional drops back to around 95% for me. 95% for me is a dance floor. Living on it is 5%. <br /><br />My perspective pretty much stems from my resonance with architectural design consisting of an ounce of inspiration, and many tons of logical argument. Drawing pretty pictures is the smallest part of my job, and often the only part most anyone else sees.<br /><br />I feel it works like that with Tarot and tradition and most anything. Each reading takes my whole life up to that point. Today I would say I live in that "5%." Though, ask me again tomorrow so to speak, I may be learning something new whether from myself or another.<br /><br />Thanks for the last question, Tierney. Really begs some sandbox work to chew on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
