[Part 2] Grand Lenormand (…in rough translation, continued)

[Part 1] – [Part 2] – [Part 3] This is a continuation of my (rough) translation of a French book concerning the Astro Mythological Lenormand, AKA “Grand Jeu de Mlle. Lenormand.” I’m posting this directly from MS Word, so it may not look terribly pretty, but hopefully it’s at least functional. Once the project is complete (in the far distant future, lol), I hope to post it as a singular PDF file. This posting covers the Ace-Four of Clubs. Interpretation of the cards: Ace – 4 of Clubs Ace of … Continue reading

I’ve also been acquiring … Continue reading

Musical Tarot – Makin’ Vids

A while back (2009) I wrote an entry associating Tarot Cards to pop-songs – actually I’ve done two entries on this topic.  I’ve decided to go ahead and try to actually make several YouTube “Video Collages” using the song-list I created earlier and images of various tarot decks in my collection.  Usually the images of the card are in alpha order for the decks I’m using.  Here is that list of decks: 1JJ Tarot of the 78 Doors Adflatus / Revelations Tarot Ancient Italian (aka the Serravalle Sesia Tarot) Aquarian Aqurius’ Era Arcus Arcanum … Continue reading
