I personally never really paid much attention to symbology of the tarot or to anything else. I know the very basic on dreams, and every site that I visit to help with trying to depuzzle something leaves me feeling as if my head is going to explode. I do understand that one thing can mean several different things, generally within a sublte range...apparently not so with some of the dream interpreting sites. So I'm looking for a GOOD book that gives you a firm idea of what certain common symbols mean.
Technically I would like a book on solely tarot symbology, both for the Waite-Smith and Thoth.* Anything would be fine as long as it is a decent amount of information without making me feel as if I'm completely stupid for not figuring it out on my own. Or not crazy enough to have thought to putting those two things together.
I do like BOOKS over anything else, I like having a hard copy of things. What I am looking for is something that would help get into the details of why there is an Arch-Angel in the Lovers card (as an example) or why the Six of Swords always shown with water. (kinda figured that one out but you're seeing what I'm looking for)
Thanks in advance for an insight or help that you can give me.

*I do have the Understanding Alesiter Crowley's THOTH Tarot by Lon Milo DuQuette, I use it all of the time but it doesn't go into detail of some of the symbols due to lack of space probably.
