Afloat
From the Tyldwick Tarot, the Three of Staves; from the Antiquarian Lenormand, the Moon:
On top of a chest sits a model of the ship Santa Maria, the flagship of Columbus on his first voyage attempt to discover the New World. People generally don’t build historic models of cars, planes or ships that weren’t of some importance, so this card indicates reaching an important step toward one’s goal. The chest has four drawers, the next number in the staves suit. To reach some lasting stability, more work is going to be required. The Moon card shows a partial lunar eclipse from 1874. The eclipse suggests there are things not seen, which sounds reasonable when beginning a new endeavor. Like the tides the moon affects, there will be an ebb and flow in any venture or project as well. No need to panic, it's just all a part of the process. Patience and persistence can help keep the boat afloat.

At first glance this deck doesn't give me much to work with but when I read your post it always appears to be is chuckfull of symbolism
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed when I realized this deck didn't come with a booklet of any type. But then I started a study group thread on Aeclectic and made a post for each card, going over all the details I could see in each one and what they might mean. So now I do have a guide!
DeleteIs that another mirror behind the ship on the chest?
ReplyDeleteI think it is a glass case for the model ship. :)
DeleteI agree with Ellen. Only when you wax prolific do I get anything out of this deck. I can hardly wait for his Motley deck though.
ReplyDeleteDoing a study on each card in this deck was helpful. :)
DeleteI like this deck - something about faded grandeur and memories of visiting museums and stately homes as a child). Because it isn't on amazon I forget about it. If I had refrained from one click impulse buys I could have bought this several times over...
ReplyDeleteI know many people find it cold and too muted, but I like it. It is mysterious, like stumbling across an estate and finding everyone there has disappeared. So then one must look for clues!
