Hi Bernice!
Well people will strongly disagree with your thought- it is thought that the Christian storyline is there and obvious.
As you know, views here are not the only views on Tarot. There are seriously held views that Tarot is Astrological (The 22). I find that not surprising. It could have been that the images were only assigned numbers to make the card playing clearer. If you relate Tarot ideas to the story I told about your clog and fish card, the story is true but the timing and place of the cards origins is out of whack with the story- but it is possible if I tried really hard to make the connection plausible. After all- in the 18th Century a new idea about cards became plausible- it did not stand up to close scrutiny according to some.
The cards are ambiguous. If they were not- then research would not be needed.
We would know. Fun looking though ain't it?
