Well, Robert,
it's near to winter solstice. Lothar said, that I should thank you for your email early in the year about search-engines. Thank you.
I'm not really a card reader, but I'll announce a surprizing goal in the last
minute or so.
Really good Tarot history is not written by card readers, or at least not by persons, which look too often in the cards. Perhaps ... cause the persons, which made the cards, where interested in different aspects.
Milan will win. This time. But only in matters of Marseille Tarot ..
Actually - from the historical view the order of Marseille is not more interesting than understanding the Boiardo deck, the Ferrarese order or others in their intention. And the whole matter is nothing against a solid enlightment about the relationship between I-Ching and Sepher Yetzirah. Or the rich world of Greek mythology. A much bigger world.
Actually Milan had lost the war around Tarot. Once. And probably that's the reason, why nobody understood this ... socalled "stolen" Marseille Tarot.
What will happen, if the mystery is gone ... ... people will search "their" mystery .... ok, there are many others ... for instance, how we'll save world with it's raising problems against all these idiots, who wish to win money and other goal's by making wars.
Well, there is an interesting, not really often observed feature in astrology ... after 499-500 years occasionally it happens, that the planets are near to the position, where they was, 499-500 years ago. As quick planets run quick, this rule is not always true ... but, very rarely it happens.
What happened 499/500 years ago?
We've documents, that in the same year 1505 the name Tarot appeared the first time (at least in our eyes or that what we know) in France and Ferrara.
Unlucky Milan was occupied by French troops and the prospects were bad, more than 20 years of war followed.
