As I looked into the Fool card I saw someone who was happy without a care in the world,nothing distracting him  but careless as cant see the cliff in front of him

Hi Frances

if you are wanting to join our learning group Gem gives us homework to do on each card.  Homework sound syucky but its very ingteresting and enlightening to hear others interpretations of how they see the different cards.
From Gem:

This course is designed to start with a brief overview of the whole 22 Major Arcana and then work through them one by one. The beginning of our work starts  with the thread linked here.... http://mysticboard.org/vi ... hp?t=24578  

and there is a special thread for the answers linked here.... http://mysticboard.org/vi ... hp?t=24415

Hope you enjoy the learnign experience

Hi Miss Em
Yes I would like to join your study group not sure how it works but given homework is something I am used to As spent lots of hours with my head in my books when I was doing my degree

[MissEm]

Hi Frances

Just go to the Tarot Homework URL and find each of the cards listed in the various threads.  Gem will initially pose the question about a particular card, you look at yr card in yr own deck and post yr reply and let us all know what you think and feel from the card.  it's easy!!

For a very newbie like me...the experience is amazing and a huge learning curve for me.  I thoroughly enjoy the challenge and find it exciting learning something new and different.  I've only ever had a basic interest in tarot like a lot of people and recently decided to take it a bit further and learn for myself.

Don't worry about yr interpretations as many of us are using different decks and gem has asked us to post a pic of yr card when you make yr reply so we all know where yr coming from.  Yr thoughts are yr own about the cards and no one is right or wrong.

Enough of my rambling...go take a look.  Enjoy the adventure.

I look forward to reading yr first thoughts and impressions about the csards - we've been doing the Major Arcana first.

"OI YOU AT THE BACK!!  "WAKE-UP!!!"

Thanks MissEm for helping Francesca out.

We are working on the layout trying to get it much easier to follow, its hard when everyone is working at their own pace as posts seem to get jumbled up, but I also think this is part of the real pleaseure of this course, new people can join in at any time and work at your own pace ?

I'm always here on the end of a PM or post,

[MissEm]

No problem at all Gem.

I hope I didn't make you out to be the school marm type person wielding a big stick for those that don't do their homework!  :smt046

Whooooo me???  Where's my apple? lol

[MissEm]

Sorry Gem...I posted my feedback on the other thread.

Basically, I have found this to be truly enlightening and an eye opener.  Not just to the many different images or decks around, but to the meanings of the cards and how they can be interpreted differently or speak differently to people.

For a new beginner like me, it is a truly wonderful gift you all have.

Bless you!

Thanks again for your guidance Gem!
