Greenwood Handbook
cspacediva replied to ilweran's topic in Tarot DecksI hope it’s ok to revive this old thread. Years ago, I came into the possession of a PDF version of ‘A Guide to the Greenwood Tarot’. I no longer recall when or where I got it, but it has a now defunct web address superimposed as headers and footers on each page, so maybe I got it there. Judging by the text quality, it was a photocopy of a printed booklet that someone scanned and uploaded. There is currently an auction listing for the original set that also includes the booklet by Chesca Potter (I wish her well). The listing has pictures of the front and back of the booklet, the inside covers, and the first page of text. That first page of text is identical to the one in my PDF, and nearly identical to what is on Mi-Shell’s Voice within the Cards, beginning with, “This book compliments the information,” (with complements misspelled), and ending with, “there is no need to steal imagery from other cultures.” From there, Mi-Shell’s blog goes into the individual cards, starting with The Fool, but the PDF has several pages describing the Wheel of the Year, along with three different diagrams of the Wheel. These are labeled as Figures 2, 3, and 4, so hopefully the image of the World Tree on the front cover counts as Figure 1, otherwise there’s more to it, and I am missing that. In addition to the placement of the cards, seasonal festival days, suits, and elements, the first diagram depicts the intertwined red and white serpents (or dragons or horses) that are shown on the drum on the cards backs, Balance, Three of Wands, and more. This illustrates which cards are noted as having red or white polarities, and in the text she explains what those represent. The second diagram depicts a tree inside the wheel. The third has an outline of the Fool’s human figure (no wings), and places the chakras around the wheel with the Crown chakra at Imbolc and moving around to the Base chakra at Samhain and Womb chakra at Midwinter. The Fool’s navel is at the exact center of the Wheel. Additional text explains the diagrams and the colors associated with the suits and the festival days. The card descriptions appear to be the same, though I have not done a side-by-side, word-for-word comparison. The one difference I have noticed is the that booklet introduces the Justice card as being inspired by Herne the Hunter from the Robin of Sherwood series, where that paragraph does not appear on the blog. ~~ I printed some of the individual cards from the Greenwood Tarot for use on my altar space a number years ago, but only recently I have had the entire deck printed and read both books to try to understand the system as a whole. I have to admit it has taken hold of me. I think this is a magical, revolutionary deck that was ahead of its time and I would love to have someone to ask questions and share discoveries with. I think it’s a shame that it has gotten bogged down in so much mess.
