Thank you Em and Baba. The discussion on what tarot is has had it's effect. What you said, Baba, about feeling that with 22 cards, you are waiting for the rest to come - that there is a sense of incompleteness, I have come to agree with.
So thanks Tom, also, for starting the "What is Tarot" thread. It is fascinating how such a discussion can really get into your blood and make you think. And ... my Papesse is looking down at her book .... but I am unsure about the eyes. Maybe have them opened a little more so that this is more obvious. The old problem of shrinking a large image to a small has hidden the slightly opened eyes methinks. And yes it is wonderful that she is actually speaking to me. the others have all chattered away, but she (naturally) has been rather reluctant to open her mouth.
Oh, and I just had a dream about you Tom ... you look very good in bathers on the beach at Phillip Island .... Tom blushes .... it is okay, you were looking for shells
