FIRST JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA QUESTION:
Which Tarot Deck combines Eastern philosophy with traditional tarot archetypes? :music:
Yes, Fiona - you are correct! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
That is 1 point for you.
SECOND JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA QUESTION: :music:
Which Tarot Deck sports Guns to represent the Suit of Wands?
The Victoria Regina Tarot. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
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="" />
Also the PoMo Tarot uses guns for swords... that's another deck I have but don't use much. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.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.
CORRECTED TAROT TRIVIA CONTEST QUESTION NUMBER TWO:
Which traditional card is represented by the Chakras in the Buddha tarot?
Yes, Michael!
You are correct.
That is 1 point for you. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
THIRD JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA CONTEST QUESTION:
Which of the four Tarot Suits correlates with the Jungian function of sensation?
Yes, Fiona - it is Coins.
That is 2 points for You.
True, Michael...the Post Modern deck has guns, as well. That "Scream" card is a riot...
FOURTH JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA CONTEST QUESTION:
In the 3 Card Decision-making Spread, what does the Right card represent?
apparently I am impatient and clicked too many times and posted twice.
And I cant spell either and that one should read outcome not outome *rolls eyes at self*
Yes, Fiona - the Outcome is correct. If it was a Timeline reading, the right card would be the Future.
That is 3 points for you! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
FIFTH JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA CONTEST QUESTION:
Who is the creator/author of the Golden Tarot Deck?

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="" />

Morning, Janet. Is it Kat Black?
Er... uh... I mean... Good morning, 'June'. (Time for me to make my morning tea.) <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
I just saw a deck that also has guns... it is based ont he Mexican Dia de las Muertos. The Tarot of the Dead.
Here are some pics
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/tarot-of-the-dead/
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.
That is 2 points for you.
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!
SIXTH JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA CONTEST QUESTION:
Why is the Queen of Cups a good choice to symbolize today's Venus transit?
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.
Yes, Fiona!
Excellent answer, btw.
That is 4 points for you now. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Which Tarot Suit represents communication, intellect and truth-seeking?

EIGHTH JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA CONTEST QUESTION:
Who created the "Healer Within" Tarot Spread?
(Sorry folks, I thought I had posted this early this morning - my kitty had 5 kittens during the night).
Christine Jette
I almost bought her book today
Yes, Fiona - you now have 6 points!!
Christine's book is awesome - great to put on a book "wish list"!
lol I figured I should actually get through the stack I have already!
I got a review copy of Understanding the Tarot Court that I am eager to work through. I will let you know when I post my review <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
NINTH JUNE 2004 TAROT TRIVIA CONTEST QUESTION:
What is the name of the Prince that Robert Place's Buddha deck is focused on?

But Janet beat me anyway!

Your answer is correct. That is 1 point for you!

Yes, Janet - Nina is the author.
That is 3 points for you now!
Sorry, Fiona - I am late posting today. I wrenched one of my shoulders on the weekend so am typing with a clipped wing. Sure makes things interesting but slower..... :rolleyes:
<img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Sorry to hear about your shoulder, June. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
OUCH! Nothing to be sorry for June. Janet is just way faster than me today!
Hope your shoulder gets better soon!

Good guesses, but no, it is not either the Chariot or the Magician.
No, not the Sun. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Wow this one is a stumper!
The Emperor?
No,...not the Emperor.....
Ok this is my last guess on this question!
Strength?
The last and best guess!
Yes, the answer is the Strength Card,...I thought I had given it away with the "Beating the Odds" part. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
