Would greatly appreciate an explanation for this little "squiggle" that appears on Pamela Coleman Smith's Tarot illustrations. Is it a signature or a particular symbol? Just curious. #tarot#symbolism#RWStarot

@naturemusicart.bsky.social Thanks so much for the likes and shares. I hope your health concerns are much improved and you are feeling better. Take special care!
Awww. I sometimes dream of my dad - who later in life was a double amputee. He's walking and dancing.
It's likely I will always prefer Waite Smith #Tarot exclusively because the contemporary cards, although beautiful, just don't resonate with me. Too much symbolism is missing and I tend to waste too much time analyzing and criticizing newer interpretations.
Attn @caroleeena.bsky.social Life savers !! (Sure wish bluesky would let us dm images.)
Too distracted to read just yet. Doing some "3-card connect" exercises to warm up the cards. #Tarot#Jungtheory .
Saturday am. I left my clothes pin bag hanging outside on the line for around 45 minutes. When I went back outside, a Momma wren was already building a nest in it! Told her, "Sorry, baby. I love my bag." Hope she will relocate easily.
Got a little rain again last pm. Drought isn't over, but it's looking a bit greener outside.
My 7h great grandfather was a slave owner and trader. His son, Moses Roper, was also his slave property. Moses, after many attempts, escaped to England. I knew nothing of him until I found him via ancestry.com and National Archives Slave Narratives.
I use the Aquarian deck when I need a strong response. The colors are primarily red and black. The Azure Arcana deck is visually awesome, but has almost none of the Waite Smith original symbolism. Maybe I should leave the pretty art work for the wall and original Waite Smith for actual reading.🤔☺️
I know of the Mucha deck and love the art work. I have a couple of beautiful Waite Smith inspired decks but still rely on the original for the familiar images and symbolism.
@conorvoice.com Morning, young 'un! (Southern speak for "hi") Hope your day is sublime.
