Comparative Tarot

Comparative Tarot Study Group This is a general thread for chat, ideas and questions. I'll post a thread for each card, and anyone can grab a deck you're working with and comment on similarities and differences in how different decks present the same card. What new understanding of that card does your deck give you? Why do you prefer one version of (for example) The Fool over another? Or however you want to compare two or more decks. Post 1 will show the TdM, RWS, and Thoth for a given card, but you don't have to compare your deck's card to all (or any) of those. If there's another deck you'd rather compare it to, that's good too! You can come at it from what…

I went with majority rule based on the 3 decks I've been posting: TdM and Thoth have Strength/Lust at 11, while RWS has it at 8. Feel free to discuss it. There's also some discussion about order in the Justice post.) Please see the discussion thread if you'd like some background about the study group.
