Deck of The Week: Sign-up Thread: Week 248 : April 9 - April 15

A little more geeking on the Splendor Solis.  Thinking about this kept me awake last night, so I'm glad to report the results!

 

Splendor Solis Tarot matching the minors to the majors

 

We know the minors numbered 3 through 9 are matched to the flask/planetary majors.  But other frames of other majors are also borrowed for the minors.  How do they match up? 

 

When I started sorting, I noticed that most minors have two frames, inner and outer.  The flask/planetary majors are all inner frames.

Amazing work @Rachelcat.  Going to be cool to see some of that diligence applied to spreads in the future. What a multi-faceted deck you have there.

 

The Rackham Oracle card I drew last night felt fitting to the question.  I deemed it helpful and not as heavy as the pulls prior.

I must accept with this pack, however, that a full half of the cards are quite challenging and "negative" in a traditional sense of the word.

I think being selective about when I use it is key.

 

Last nights draw, I like this one:

I think you're in exactly the right place to geek out. Sometimes it's so fun to deep dive on these kinds of things. Glad to see you enjoying it so much.

Fantastic week of sharing everyone!

@Wyrdkiss, that Courage card makes me think of the Shakespeare quote from Midsummer's Dream: "Though she be but little she is fierce." 😊

 

@Rachelcat, the Splendor Solis is lovely!
