I've been kicking around the notion of getting a TdM deck, but frankly, I feel intimidated. I've had one in the past and generally just used the RWS meanings for the pips. I have the Celtic Tarot and I've gotten comfortable with the unillustrated pips, but the Celtic is based on the RWS tradition, and the actual designs of the cards also give some indication of the meanings as well. I believe the TdM is traditionally interpreted using the Ettiella system. I don't recall Paul Huson's Mystical Origins of the Tarot, which functions as a companion book to Dame Fortune's wheel, or the LWB saying what system is used, but the resemblence of the artwork to the TdM gives me a feeling that Dame Fortune's Wheel is based on the Etiella system as well.
Would doing a side-by-side with Dame Fortune be a good way to learn to use TdM? I imagine it would be useful to learn numerology, but that's a lot for my brain to absorb.
Um, I seem to be malfunctioning. I meant to start that as a separate thread. Moderator?
