(I searched and couldn't find a thread that already posed this question.)
I was wondering if you have a favorite card or two, and why its your favorite.

One of my favorite cards is the King of Diamonds from the Universal Dali tarot.

I like this card so much when I noticed Dali's fingerprints on the card. 5 distinct fingers; I can imagine him dipping his fingers in the mixed brown and black paint that he used to paint the bull in the dream, and carefully pressing the finger tip of his left pinky, followed by each fingertip in succession onto the card, until he ended with his thumb.
This symbol made me understand about the word manifestation, "mani-" is latin for hand, and how our bodies are fractals. How we filter inspiration through our head and throat to our heart where we then can choose to branch out into the material world and turn our ideas into physical reality.
The five fingertips is the perfect symbol for physical manifestation, man as both created by god in god's own image, and almost like gods in our ablity to manifest physical realities from mere ideas, figments of our imagination and dreams.
