While this is not the direction of study I was looking for when I started the thread asking for all the Fey users to come forward~
I hooked something to work with- it's been something that has popped in now and then and it's sort of a look at the Fey from the 'beginning' in manner of speaking, as well as comparing it to the typical RW images.
There are quite a few cards that the images are parallel to RW and then there are others that differ slightly and some that are totally atypical.
I'd like to look into this deeper. Some might see the parallels that I don't. With the Atypical, what are the symbols that represent the meanings and how do they make that connection.
I don't have a RW deck- what I have are two books with pictures, but only one book is strictly dedicated to RWS and it only covers the suits. The two decks that I have that are as close to RW is a itty bitty teeny tiny Universal {thanks melisssa!} and a stretch with the connolley...
{I also have New Vision- but that does not count)
ALSO-
In another post, it was asked about numerical correspondences.
Something I had NOT thought about- I don't really use number too much, except for when they stand out.
I divided my deck up and realized, these fey have no use for numbers! BUT- some cards have something within the image that connects to the cards number.
For instance- the 3 of Wands, the star-seed has three bulbs...
Of course there are three wands in RW, and in RW we see the figure from the back, in the Fey we have a bit of a side view but still, from behind.
The Fey in the 3 of Wands is connected to the Empress Fey- naturally, by numerical order- and they are both 'blue-skins'
I see the theme of care and nurturing in both cards.
Raising another live entity from a wee-one. Wands being the earthy things they are, it is appropriate that a seed-plant is used. {fey- in 'my book' have slightly different look at the elemental associations}*see below*
Aces- well they don't follow the singular- Swords and Pentacles do, but cups is a strech and wands- well, I see 'two' there.
Swords is the only one that comes close to being simular to RW with it's floating sword, then there is the Pentacles/hand connection but it's imaged out different.....
this is just a touch of what I have noticed-
how about every-one else?
I think what we could do is just throw a bunch of stuff up like I did above- short and sweet surface stuff.
From there, I'll pick the fey that is jumping up & down saying, "pick me! pick me! pick me!"
And I will start a thread where we can discuss it in depth.
sound good?
anything to add?
