it's just a hobby! I got into numerology years ago and played around with it a long time, then fell out of the habit, and just decided to pick it back up and add tarot into the mix last year. For no particular reason, really, I just think the cards are beautiful and I love things like that. :D
Alec Guinness used to throw out all his Star Wars fanmail without reading it. Also, in one of his books he talks about meeting a woman who toldd him her son loved the Star Wars movies so much he watched them every day. He asked her to promise him one thing--that she'd never let the kid watch them again.
Hmmm - my take on the above comment would be that the clue is in the description - gullible people, I'm afraid, lose huge amounts of money to everyone. Why should the rest of us protect them from themselves? Also, going anonymous for negative comments dilutes the impact of your comment to such a degree that you as well not have bothered.
Alec Guiness is one of my husband's favourite actors; he made me watch a film called Tunes of Glory the other day, made in the 1960's and featuring a fiery red-haired Sir Alec. He was magnificent in the role. After such a varied and lauded career, on stage and screen, I can see why being remembered for (admittedly classic) pop sci-fi probably got his goat a bit :D
I have to agree. He was such a brilliant comedic actor; I think I've seen all his movies. I think my favorite may have been the 1951 political satire, where he's a scientist who invents a fabric that won't stain and everyone tries to stop him from destroying the economy... The Man in the White Suit. Absolutely hilarious! Then there are all the light comedies, like the Agatha Christie thingie where he played EVERYONE in the family, even the women.
Which was the one where he was a vacuum salesman who accidentally got involved in spying? I shall have to re-watch a lot of these, now!
I'm glad you're being creative and inventive and most of all, having FUN, in making your own personal set of Tarot. Your art is improving! Very nice work.
I think, to each his or her own thing, and gullible people will be gullible whatever I do about it.
There was a time when friends and I used the I Ching a lot; it could be rather impressively accurate at times. I also used the Waite tarot a lot at that time. (We were living in a commune up on a mountain, with no electricity, so aside from milking goats and gardening and doing laundry and cooking, we had time to kill. We read a lot of strange stuff, too... ever hear of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky? Oh, and Crowley, whose name was borrowed for Good Omens! *random squee for Crowley and Aziraphale*)
I now think that many tools help us touch our own intuition, and perhaps, if you think it exists, something of what Jung called the "collective unconscious." But whatever... Enjoy!
