Tarot naturally - reflection
I have nearly finished my journey into the natural tarot. I will not be publishing any more pictures on this blog for the time being.
My 'range statement' is almost complete.
I was interesting to simply come across items in my daily life that jumped out at me as typical tarot cards. A reading using them worked well so there's proof enough for me.
I started with the Empress and this was the creative inspiration for them. Why did I pick that stone up all those years ago? - must have been for this project. Interestingly and totally unplanned, the cups suit started with a rose bud and ended with a rose bush in full bloom.
Many of my pictures were taken at home, in the local parks and area. Some at friends homes and others on trips to London and occasions in the south east....and several pubs! The Sun was taken by a family member - a beautiful photo. I may replace it though as all the rest are by my own hand. I did little to the photos: cropping and blotting out anything (people/cars etc) that was identifiable. I would not like ot compromise anyone's privacy.
The major suits were easiest to find but then they are all emcompassing. The court cards took some thought into what elements make when they are put together. The fun part was the cards appearing unexpectedly here and there - like the bellows (King Wands), the Model plane in a mirror (Knight Swords) and the milestone (6 coins). There are a few more pip cards to do but that can be later. Some cards seem to develop their meaning. The empty house 5 of coins when printed has a golden glow on the shutters... akin the Rider Waites and again the 7 of swords, the Magpie is in the shaddows. The ace of coins was chained...hmm a hint from the devil about materialism.

It didn't take as long as I had thought.
Now I have concluded with the 6 of coins and going to put my feet up for a while.
In the meantime...chill with Gill
