This was wonderful, Chris. I am impressed with your explanation of the cards. You must have done some homework for this video, cause I don't see a LWB with the deck. I like the grey and white imagery. Thanks for another tarot inspiration. I'll go broke watching your videos! Anne
Jupiter in the mandorla, reminds the representation of Christ with the four animals in medieval cathedrals. I wonder why it becomes a woman in the world card. Maybe a embodiment of the new Jerusalem, the bride of Christ? Or another mythical figure?
I always thought of her as Sophia, the Shekinah or the Anima Mundi - the World-Soul. But maybe Christ just became more and more female over the years, especially with the woodcuts from the Marseille tradition. (In the Noblet there *is* a male representation in the Mandorla!)
Well done!
Thanks a lot ☺️🙏
👍😃absolutely stunning🤩🙂
Just discovered this deck in a book this past weekend and am excited to study and learn more!
I love the way you present the cards, thank you so much!
You’re very welcome. Glad you liked it!

Also glad to discover your channel!
Thank you very much 😊
I have read somewhere that the papesse could be also an embodiment of the Church. It is a representation seen in Italy, in some churches.
Yes, I’ve read this too. 👌
Which MPC version did you get? The one with mirrored backs or the jumbo ones with sort of a colorful swirl back?
The ones with the marbled backs in shades of green, Anne.
