Re: Naming the CoT Deck

Maybe 'Ethnic Mosaic Tarot' will fit?

Etnic Mosaic: "Cultural mosaic" (French: "la mosaïque culturelle") is the mix of ethnic groups, languages, and cultures that coexist within society.

Re: Meanings and interpretations Sola Busca Tarot

One of my favourites: d. XVII. Ipeo: An old man evokes a spirit: “support of an occult power.” Surreptitious advertising. Ambiguous charm. Embarrassing friendship. This one is just loaded, isn't it? It s my favorite for the majors. :-) Beautifull meaning evokes spirit for support : i like it!

Re: Postumio, the Skull and the Tree of Knowledge.

I know that in Neoplatonism the soul has three levels: the rational Soul, the imaginative Soul, and the sensory Soul or soul of sensation. The Soul is in between the invisible Spirit above, often associated with pure light, and the material realm below, often associated with shadow. The Soul can ov...

Re: Postumio, the Skull and the Tree of Knowledge.

Regarding Postumio : I appreciate your bringing attention to the symbols on the shield. It seems to me to be a three part design: the star above, the tree, the platform below. This could refer to the Spirit above, shining out, the Soul between, in a process of unfolding, and the platform below, as ...

Postumio, number II is very rich in symbolism, The shield with eight spoked star above shows the name of the card, a palmtree on a grave with the visible word FATIS echoing the motto "TRAHOR FATIS. Also a golden skull, a bow and arrows with leaves appear on this Trumph. Postumio's face is not v...

I think you're correct there, Lucifall. The earlier LoS might have been redrawn, and couldn't have been the original art. I'll get back to you in a bit. That redrawn really is a different world.

That's strange. Check out the Albideuter page on the Sola Busca . That's from Lo Scarabeo's 1995 version named I Tarocchi Illuminati or the Illuminating Ancient Tarots in the English release. In that deck, VI Sesto, XI Tulio, and XIIII Bocho don't have double numberings, but X Venturio aand XV Mete...

Re: Sola Busca - Panfilio, is there a key in the No-eyes of this outlaw?

There is a second meaning possible. Filio also means offspring or Child so Panfilio also means: Son of Pan. I like this. Remember our discussion on Mato, where one of his possible identities is Pan Silenus? With this interpretation, Mato (as Pan) is the father of Panfilio, i.e. the Fool begets and ...
