Sis, the new Fox card is so perfect--it just could not be any better!!!
Thank you my sis! HOWEVER...
Regarding my new 14. The Fox card: but i just cannot take all the credit for it...
i was so frustrated by my first attempt (yeah...the fox is WORK...
)
...so i actually contacted the Other Side Spirits, and said...(Quoting myself):
'Hello, look i made a mess out of the fox card and i REALLY NEED you guys to help me out a little bit here!!! PLEASE?
...can you PLEASE help me with this one?"
Let's just say, that within '2 hrs' ...of searching for a new fox photo, doing the card over
'completely' from scratch...the new card was born...which everyone loves...it wasn't me!
So, i want to take time to thank the
Spirits
for having my back.
i can talk to them like that because they know me as i am...and love me as i am...thank goodness!
i am so happy you love it sis!
Ahhh yes; a good fox card.
And I also like the idea of a cat card.
*S*
Yay! Skydancer! thank you...and it is so good to hear that you want the cat card! YES!
IMO, 2 separate decks would be a better idea; personally I would have no use for the gay version; but it would be a good option for gay people if they would have difficulties to identify with the typical Gentleman and Lady.
Now, for the cat....
Ah Lyn, I do
the idea!!! ...but I would like it better if it could be an "additional card" like a #37...Like for the Mystical Lenormand they created 4 additional cards, that do not replace any other that is already in the deck. Personally, I would not want to have to choose between the Dog and the Cat. I would like both!
I've always regretted that only the Dog was among the cards because the Cat symbolism can be very interesting too! Now, of course some people think a "cat" card would be too similar to the Snake card that we already have...because they view the symbolism of cat like the one of the Snake??? that's a puzzle to me...I really do not see the Cat as the Snake. I lived with cats all my life and there is a lot more to them then the usual archetype "you can't trust them and independence" and for me they have nothing to do with the Snake card!
I surely could use a "Cat card" in the Lenormand
, and I have already all the interpretation for it. I wish I could create cards like you do Lyn, because I would have made one for my decks! And it would not be just to do a reading about my cats, it would work for any reading...there would be so much that a "Cat Card" could reveal in a reading...
Well, that's my opinion and dream...
Well, now, LadyZelda, i didn't see your post before i replied to Alta's post regarding
the numbering of the extra cards. i think it would just be easier to use same numbers, and
that way you can just toss out the cards you don't want...right? i would put that in my
meanings pages write up that the person will get when the purchase the deck.
If i 'add' an additional 'number' (37 for the cat) to the 36 card deck...i will have all my
'traditionalist friends' down my throat!!!
...i know i am somewhat out the box right now...but if i go too far the limb might break off! LOL
So for the cat and dog cards, i would just have 'alternative' meanings in my meanings pages.
Like the cat is representative of a person that you already know, but then i guess
i would have to add in the attributes of the cat. i guess that could be a little tricky since
the dog represents 'protection'...or protecting people, whereas the cat is more independent...
...someone help me out here please?... what am i trying to say? ...Cats do not actually us protect
since cats are not as aggressive as dogs. i do think that they protect us by chasing away
or eating the mice that would damage our property like our food and books, etc.
Of course i have heard of exceptions where cats have actually protected their owners in emergencies.
But maybe those instances are kind of rare as cats are more independent thinking and dogs
are more a 'pack' minded and usually make their human owner one of its 'pack.'
...anyway...i will still have to think about the numbering of '37' for the cat or just keep the
same number '18' for both cat and dog cards?
Oh, BTW, LadyZelda, i do not think that the cat is like the snake! YIKES...if anything the
cat would be more like the fox...in sneaking up on the mice...LOL
Thanks for like my new Fox card...it was 'work' to get there! LOL (14. The Fox = work...for sure!
)
i may not have to have a second deck for Gays and Lesbians, IF, i follow Debra's thinking...
...which is now making sense to me...(as long as i add their representative 'symbols' on the man
and the woman card somewhere)
I never identified the Man and Woman card with their sexual orientation. Gay people don't look any different from other people so I'm not understanding I guess.
Debra, right, then maybe on the cards i can put the basic symbols for Gay or Lesbian...
such as one of the Lesbian heart symbols, and i am still researching the symbol for Gays...
put that somewhere on the woman and man card then...say next to my playing card symbol
on the bottom left.
@everyone
Re: a new cat card:
Anyone else have any thoughts or feelings on the 'numbering' for the cat card i am going to make?
i mean, should i give it a number '37' in the deck or should i use the same number '18' for the
dog?...oh, wait, i just thought about something, some families have BOTH dogs and cats!!!
Ah ha...so then it might be confusing if i use the same number for both cards? Or...in the
meanings page i could designate the difference between the animals...even though they
had the same number in the deck? So any other thoughts on this?
HUGS
