@Ferrea and all: The Lubanko is the deck I bought because one card, The Hierophant, caught my eye. The rest of the deck is good, too, Totally readable and comes with a few unique views of the cards. I like it and definitely think you would, too.

I quite like this card. Unlike some Hierophant cards, there is no element of worship in this depiction. The man is an ordinary teacher, teaching his room full of pupils about religions and ways of thinking in general. I presume, as a teacher, he is teaching the standard for 'the done thing' in each of these religions and philosophies. Some Hierophants get my back hair up a bit, as I am NOT religious and would resent being stifled by religion or overly smothered by rules and regulations. But this teacher is offering pure learning. He is not preaching, but probably the lessons he's teaching can be sensibly applied to life as it is. It's good to have a wide view, in my opinion.

I've not seen many Tarot cloths with varied spreads printed on them... And they didn't exist when I started out... As an oldie - I learned 1st with the Celtic Cross 🙃 - and how I learned was to memorise this poem to remember what each position meant: "1 finds you, 2 crosses you, 3 is below you, 4 is behind you, 5 crowns you, 6 is before you, 7 is for your house and home, 8 for what you least expect, 9 for your hopes and fears, 10 for what is sure to be. 11 for a little advice (also 1st house in Western Astrology), and 12 is for your shadow's kiss" (also 2nd house in Western Astrology). When I took classes on Tarot at The College of Psychic Studies, Kensington, London (I decided to take a class after struggling to learn on my own from books for a while) - I made myself a Little White Book (LWB) and added what we learned as we went along. So - I'd just open my book at the page and have my little Celtic Cross map to refer to. I have since added to it and begun a new LWB, which is as yet incomplete (as I lost steam half-way and didn't complete it. LOL). My teacher extended her Celtic Cross to include the 12 Astrological houses - but I wasn't that interested in Astrology at the time (too much information for my restless brain) so I never pursued that: I like the picture that I found in a magazine to decorate the front of my LWB 🫠: I should really study my LWB more often - it has a lot of interesting stuff in it!
