Hmm. But actually, the Victoria Regina Tarot has guns for the Swords suit, not Wands. (Thw Wands suit is fountain pens). VRT is the only deck I know that uses guns, though. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oops, major typo - thanks for pointing out my error - the Question should have said Swords instead of Wands.

I am going to bypass that question since it was worded incorrectly - sorry, I wrote it after writing all night.

Yes, Janet, some of those cards are a real kick. I forgot which one 'The Scream' represented... one of the majors I think.

That was my first deck, if you can believe it. lol It was for my Intro to Creative Writing class-- (WAY back in the day)-- they listed "a tarot deck" as an optional text. We were encouraged to use the tarot for writing exercises. I haven't used it for any actual kind of reading. Almost seems like a joke deck to me. I had some cool writing exercises from it though. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cool. Interesting deck, done with a sense of humor... but I almost wished they had more images closer to the traditional Dia De Los Muertos. (There probably is a deck like that somewhere, I'm sure.) There's some real possibility with that sort of imagery. Cool stuff. Thanks, Fiona.

Yes, Michael,

Kat Black is the correct answer.

No problem about mistakingly calling me Janet. You should see me with my children sometimes - I tend to get their names mixed up at times, especially if stressed. I call Alex, Che and I've called Che, James,...or Jason, Alex,...and so on. They always sneer at me when I do this,....my Mom used to solve it by calling us all six names at once,...bound to get the right one that way....(I had five younger sisters). :rolleyes:

I sometimes mix up the names of my son and husband (or my younger brother and son!) My Mom comes from a family of 13 and you should hear them mess up names. They go through about 4 before they hit the right one. LOL

Michael, I was thinking The Scream had a bunch of guns pointing at him (a Minor card). Hmm. I can't remember now, though!

Because the Queen of Cups symbolized Mature, sensitive feminine energy and the Transit brings in a time of shifting towards those energies over the nest 8 years until 2012 when the next shift occurs.
