My first tarot experience was thirty years ago...a RWS deck and a tiny pamphlet listing meanings. I could never memorize them all because they didn't seem to match the cards.
Looking back, I thought perhaps I was too naive and impatient to understand what I was seeing, but now, having just looked at another list of Arthur's meanings, I STILL can't make sense of them.
Since I have been reading quite nicely for myself these past few months, and just the past few days discovering I can do a respectable "blind" reading, I am thinking that it's not me, it's him!
I understand that he attempted to squeeze as much symbolism into each card as was comfortably possible to illustrate on such a small canvas, but why do his interpretations seem not in line with the images? What was he thinking?
