What is the Essay Collection?
The ComparativeTarot.com
essay collection archives impressions of, insights into, and responses
to Tarot cards from a wide range of decks. The collection facilitates
comparative study, makes it easier to understand how the energy
associated with a specific card is incarnated among many different
decks, and (fortunately for U.S. Games, Llewellyn, and many other
Tarot publishers) feeds the buying frenzy of collectors everywhere.
How Do I use the Essay Collection?
Browsing the collection
couldn't be easier. The menu bar you see on the left runs down the
edge of every page in the collection. To navigate:
1) Click the name of the card you wish
to compare. A list of available essays on that card will appear,
organized alphabetically by deck names.
2) Click the name of the deck to see
the associated essay.
Enjoy! Explore! And look for
opportunities to contribute essays of your own!
Why Do Some Cards Lack
Essays?
The
ComparativeTarot.com essay collection is a work in progress.
In some cases, our comparative journey
hasn't yet reached the card in question.
In other cases, the card essays have
been completed ... but haven't yet been transferred from the mailing
list archives to this site.
And, sadly, in a few cases, we're just
beginning to recover from a catastrophic data loss that occured back
in September of 2001. Many essays were lost, and must now be rewritten
from scratch!
Bear with us ... and, if you would like
to contribute to the cause by submitting an essay of your own, feel
free!
