RE: 🚪 "Temperance" and the guardian Angel

in #art • 6 years ago

This is extraordinary!! You should write the text to my Tarot cards. Such profound knowledge presented in an understandable and interesting way. I really would like to edit my post and add your comment as a quote, so people (who might not read the comments) won't miss it. Would that be alright with you?

    That is perfectly fine. You might like to know where my inspiration came from. My sources are diverse, but a recurring one is definitely the (late) yoga teacher (poet-philosopher - in the vein of Saswitha - and conoisseur of Jazz), Hans Wesseling. My way of interpreting the Tarot has been strongly influenced by his interpretation of the Rider-Waite deck (written in bits in 1980, eventually, posthumously complied by his wife and printed privately in a limited publication, 2001).

    He knew how to read the imagery of Tarot like no other and especially how to convey the interpretation of that deck in very accessible, straightforward, yet living language, always drawing from Ur-language and playing with words.
    He had a private collection of over 5000 esoteric books (modern, old, rare, common) but Tarot was his first love, he had around a thousand decks from all around the world. He passed away in 1998. It's not like he needs any mention, for the rest. He always gave of his knowledge freely.
