For those of us who study the Tarot, it is just that, an ongoing study where we are constantly learning and finding new ways to interpret the cards. For myself, I have learned that part of the fun of studying and using Tarot cards in my practice is how much fun it is to collect different decks. Each deck brings with it a new perspective, and often a meaning that I had not thought of before. When you think about it, it really is amazing to see how far Tarot cards have come, from the traditional Rider-Waite Smith deck to cards that depict modern people from all walks of life. Seeing ourselves in the cards definitely adds to the study and interpretation. But what happens when the author, illustrator, or both, have injected their political views into a deck that you were drawn to the minute you saw the amazing illustrations?
