The Encyclopedia of Tarot: A Rave

[Satori]

I have volumes I and II of Stuart Kaplan's Encyclopedia series.
I've had them for a while, but never really read them much.

Well, the other day I sat down with one of the volumes and was going thru page after page of the book, looking at decks and decks...

And I had a small epiphany about a card!

The Tower.

Seeing so many Tower cards, over and over again I began to look at them in a new way, making some new associations.

So while I now see the value in a whole new way of what these Encyclopedias mean, I also feel like a convert to the comparative Tarot method.

Being a fan of the encyclopaedias I can only applaud your growing interest in them
The are great as a learning tool comparing so many decks show us deeper meanings we wood only have found throe many years
I sometimes compare it for me as taking part in a university course but then one where you are taking part with the 3 parts of your being

i too have collected encyclopedias for many years. i just bought the encyclopedia two months back and i was amazed at the content. It's just great! more of you should invest in it to see a variety of stuff!

You are so right, elf.

Each time I sit down with one just to browse through...something catches my eye...

I have all four....The PC Smith article in the beginning of Volume III caught my eye...it was well-done with wonderful graphics of her art work.

You had a Tower experience, elf! About the Tarot! Old paradigms came crashing down, and the foundation that remians to be built from is one based in Truth and Compassion.

How awesome, thank you for sharing that. I don't yet have the encyclopedias for myself, but there's Christmas ideas to think of!!!
