I have started to study The Star Tarot (http://www.cathymcclelland.com/html/tarot.htm) For me, studying a new tarot is like studying a new dialect. Studying tarot is learning a new big dialect. It seems to be strange but it is how I see it. My mind often work with images, pictures, or having a film-like way. It is how I work. I am sure that other peoples have minds that work in their own way that are different than me. Knowing how our minds works is really good, it help understand ourselves better.
On the theme of image, there is a form of language. There is nuances in images, meaning too, symbolism. dept of untold subconscious understanding. For me, it is all that and more. I see jewelry before making it. I see my stories going on like a movie in my mind'a eye before translating it in words. I see photos of gifts before going to purchase them. Words comes after the pictures. For me, it is normal, it is what comes to me naturaly.
Tarot decks can be an extension of my inner world, to my mind. Every images, each cards have it's structure. Each images have iut's meanings. The images in my minds don't have that kind of structures. I understand the images that comes to my mind. I am my own personal translator. When it comes to tarot, I have to understand the codes that are put into the pictures. It is not my own personal language, it is more a dialect that many people had put together. It assemble those people on a common ground. At the end, it help me better work with images, even if I work with it extensively. I feel comfortable working with images and it feel good to bring dept in that department.
