To: alt.tarot,alt.magick From: taliesin@mail.utexas.edu (George Leake) Subject: Re: non traditional tarot images? Date: 9 Jun 1997 21:15:48 GMT Jeffrey Patrickwrote: I was wondering what is thought of the Salvidor Dali Deck ,do I just own some pretty pictures or are the art significant in there for divination. *there's a book which speaks about the Salvador Dali deck. That author's conclusion is that the the deck is much like the artist himself--a blend of Dali's surrealism and classical tastes. The images are borrowed from others mostly. What else is there to say, as to how this deck is "non traditional" it always depends on how you judge that. Dali's trumps & suits are labelled much like the ones in many other popular ones, such as Marseilles, Waite, Case and Thoth. -- Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets.
