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

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="" />
