A pack of card

 I am listening a documentary on the history of playing cards:

It is informative. I learned more on the playing cards.  I knew a bit about tarot cards.  I was thinking that the tarot was older than playing cards.  It seems not being the case.  There are a few books that I didn't knew about.  I may look at them, I think.  I feel I need to know more on that subject, that I didn't knew as mush as I thought.

I don't work hard on my personal tarot deck but this documentary already gives me inspiration.  I don't know exactly how but I have a few new ideas that I want to explore.  I don't know where it will go.  For sure, it is the process that is the most important.  For now, I don't think I will make it public (by selling it).  At the start, I was thinking to put a lot of nature.  By that, I was thinking of trees mainly on the minor cards.  I haven't thought much of the major arcana.   I have a few ideas on the major but nothing more.  It is probably where I will put my seed of inspiration to work.

I will have to get out for a few more photos.  Or takes a few pictures in my personal photo.  Maybe it is time to be more serious in taking notes.  I have to make a full tarot deck.  I don't want to forget cards.  No repeat either.  I do have a folder on what I had already done.  So, I don't start from nothing.  Time to get more structure, I think...
