Do you know anything about the intrerpretation of the modern playing card deck in a tarot sense? Someone told me that I am the King of Hearts, which I know corresponds to the King of Cups, but I was wondering about the rest of the symbolism. It's considered the "Suicide King" and I was wondering why. Any ideas?
Your list of women you admire is similar to the one I would make. You admier Luisah Teish! Do you know her? I've read Jambalaya, and I admire her greatly. But my list always starts with Mae West and Harriet Tubman. Has since I was 10 or so.
Hope you're doing well!
PS: You inspire me. Maybe I'll pull a card tomorrow. I haven't done that in a while. Been too scared or something.
