High Priestess from The Gilded Tarot
I am not actually into tarot as a divinatory art. However I have some limited experience with using Tarot as ‘archetypes’ in active meditations. So far it’s been ass-kickingly powerful. So I am feeling more fond of the subject than I used to be.
I found this link today that I think those of you who like the subject might like:

Everything from ancient stuff to modern artists, although not quite as many pictures online (though there are many) as I was hoping for.
Another link of interest is: http://www.tarot.com/tarot/decks/index.php I do notice that their scans are so poorly colored it makes the cards I know look completely different.
I found this link that has lots of pics of beautiful and unique decks.

The Universe, Thoth Tarot
My favorite Tarot is the Thoth deck by Crowley and Harris (see ‘The Universe’ at left).
Archeon Tarot High Priestess
I also thought this tarot was interesting, the Archeon Tarot with the second lovely High Priestess at right.
I think there’s a lot to be said for tarot that is both ‘meaningful’ and ‘beautiful’.
On the subject of remote viewing, I once did a session in a TKR Mission that was on a Tarot card. It was on this tarot by Dali, specifically the MOON card.
Dali Tarot The Moon
Now the irony is that as far as describing the surface of the card I didn’t. However, I have a long history of “anomalous experiences” — somewhat in the “interdimensional-alien-anomaly” category — which in my perception do tie into the moon in odd ways. And sometimes very dark ways. If looked at it like an archetype — from genetics, blood and ‘overlords’ and more — the session was what I would have expected from myself. If looked at like a surface task, well, it sucked. So objectively it was a miss but subjectively, weirdly enough, it all kind of made sense to me. Which is more than I can say for some of my sessions on far more ordinary things, come to think of it.
Some of the folks in TKR use Tarot for the base of their sessions. Not too many, 1.173% according to the stats. You’ll need to be logged in first before this link will work: http://www.dojopsi.com/tkr/rv/gallery/methodsessions.cfm?p=comp&themethod=Tarot
It’s been interesting to see that as I’d never really seen Tarot done in a double-blind remote viewing protocol before. It had always been mixed in with the woo-woo in-person stuff that psychic readings are often done within, and being a bit skeptical I hadn’t taken it very seriously as a result. Aside from which, I guess it IS ‘free response’ but being based on a prop seems less-so than ordinary viewing.
In any case, seeing some good sessions done using tarot as a “Witness” (term used in the dowsing sense) is interesting and demonstrates that this approach can work in RV as well. Who knew.
