Those who have the Menghello, do you see the little scottie dog on the Chariot card? It's just the head, squinched between the horses at shoulder height.

Something sensual in that swaggering pose, don't you think?Bernice said:The Devil looks a nice chap, but see his hands they point up and down. He's one to be wary of I think dispite his good looks.

Yes! I noticed that too, those courts with their backs to us. I wondered if it could mean that they were 'moving away - leaving' as opposed to 'coming - arriving'. Or.... as you say, maybe the artist liked mens backs...........Moonbow* said:Happy to see that you're enjoying this deck Bee. I'm not very familiar with it even though I've had it a while, and its one of those decks that I keep meaning to get around to doing some research on. I'm fascinated by the Valets and Cavaliers that have their backs to the reader and have often wondered why that is. Maybe the artist didn't like drawing faces (or preferred drawing men from the back) . Cerulean started a thread about knights/Cavaliers where this cropped up.
I'd thought about this. It's very odd. It must mean something, but I can't imagine what...Moonbow* said:I'm fascinated by the Valets and Cavaliers that have their backs to the reader and have often wondered why that is.
Is that it between the two horses? How very odd. I've never noticed it before but then I really haven't spent much time with this deck at all.Bernice said:Do you see the little scottie dog head on the Chariot? .......weird...
