DECK OF THE MONTH -MAY 2013 sign up thread

Aivli

Hi group! Yes, I'm still here.

Didn't mean to seem as if I quit or disappeared.

I've been journaling quite a bit, but its just all so personal to be sharing.

I would like to put this out there for anyone else who is working with Shadowscapes still, and any one who wants to add any thoughts...

I'm becoming completely obsessed with the Red Ribbons theme running throughout this deck!! What does it mean???! They are everywhere!! In the majors, in the minors, in every suit... on people, animals, creatures, and things!! So, I have been researching the symbolism of red ribbons, beginning with Chinese culture since the deck is imbued mainly with blend of Asian and Celtic symbols.

Anyone???

Not sure if these are anything but I found this on wikipedia about something called the Red String of Fate, Destiny in Eastern mythology:

Also this about the Red String(Kabbalah) used to ward off evil:

I had trouble finding the meaning of RED ribbon in Celtic folklore.

Thank you!! Both of these are really quite interesting! I was only searching for Red Ribbon, so I had not come across either of these!

Clearly, in certain cards, it IS a red string or thread!!

No, I have not found anything relating it to Celtic culture, either.

Interesting!
