Hmmmm... ok.Lurea_aure said:Perhaps Vincent should start a thread on the Golden Dawn symbolism in the RW?
The topic you mention is rather broad. What particular facet of the subject did you have in mind?
Did you disagree with anything that was being said, or are you are simply arguing that you dislike argument?Lurea_aure said:I was hoping to find a thread about the aces, instead of a somewhat argumentative thread about the Golden Dawn
I found a lot of what Kwaw had to say was interesting, particularly about the phallic symbolism of the Ace of Swords. I found out something that I wasn't really aware of. I'm sorry you didn't find it enlightening, but I am encouraged by the fact that you felt stongly enough to post a reply regarding your lack of enlightenment.Lurea_aure said:Not enlightening
Lurea_aure said:And I do not agree that the meaning of the cards are set in stone.
An observation that, even though I do not disagree with, might be worth commenting on;
Is there any meaning [for any of the cards] that could be considered wrong?
Is it possible for you, or me, to make a mistake in Tarot?
Well, it really was a technical argument as to what Waite may, or may not, have intended by the inclusion, or maybe exclusion, of a particular symbol.Lurea_aure said:That has not been my personal experience.
And, at the risk of being considered rude, what does your personal experience have to do with what Waite may, or may not, have intended with the symbolism he employed, in his deck of cards?
