We have all read about the obvious Elementals
in the imagery of Pamela Colman Smith's art
regarding the Court Cards which she designed.
Salamanders, Nymphs, Sylphs, and Gnomes,
though we don't actually see any Gnomes!
But what if she had an altogether different "set"
of correspondences in mind for her Tarot deck?
Let's begin by looking at the four II's: Click On
Pentacles float magically in the Air...
Swords so often include Water...
Wands have green leaves, like Earth...
Cups almost emit tongues of Fire...
But what is it that we are seeing, what's really going on?
Could this be possible? That she had her own ideas?
Did she put them right before our eyes ~ in her Tarot?
Now let's get out our Colman Smith cards and try to see...
And Mr. Waite along with Book-T are excused from class.
We have the unique genius of an original artist to consider.
