Sure. The Tarot is simply esoteric symbols put on cards, and there is a huge variety of symbols people put on them. The varying uses of them in no wise is indicative of their only and true function nor even what they were originally were created for. A lot of meaning and uses have been added to them, and that includes how I work with them when I do so. Mine is far more the intellectual/esoteric attempt at giving the symbols more depths. And, of course, it is all still just interpretation, not reality. Symbols are designed to get us to look past the literal understanding. There is no end to the amount of crack-pottery that can occur with them, whether on buildings, in books, or cards. And heck, that's sorta what makes em fun to explore.Lem wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 3:53 pmThanks for the added detail Kerry!

After you mentioned it the first time, I looked up a couple of the sites and artists, the artwork is really insightful and quite beautiful!Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 4:37 pmSure.

Absolutely. One of my siblings is an artist and does a lot of illustrations, he is very big into adding meaning through symbolism and I love it. I can look at his illustrations repeatedly and always come up with something new. I am lucky enough to have half a dozen or so of his works hanging on my walls, and they continue to give me great pleasure even after many years, so I understand and appreciate your enthusiasm greatly.Symbols are designed to get us to look past the literal understanding.
Have you ever tried a few cards? Your caricatures from last year that you posted here were awesome, I bet you'd have a very interesting viewpoint to add.

Re: Kerry Shirts Rocks Sunstone!
Unless I am reading things incorrectly, the Whova app, which served as the portal for the online Sunstone, shows that Kerry’s session was one of the most attended sessions at Sunstone! Wow!

Re: Kerry Shirts Rocks Sunstone!
You cannot possibly be reading it right, I doubt more than 2 attended besides our presenters....
Re: Kerry Shirts Rocks Sunstone!
Most likely the session was being monitored by the security forces of The Strengthening the Membership Committee, FAIR, The Interpreter Foundation, Polizia di Sicurezza Mormone di Roma, and a few interested scholars from the Maxwell Institute to see if Kerry would spill the beans. All, except for the Maxwell, immediately went to Defcon 3 following the presentations.

Re: Kerry Shirts Rocks Sunstone!
Will you create a new thread to let us know when the presentation is available on video? I guess you could bury the announcement here but it'd be nice to see a stand alone announcement so folks could offer feedback and impressions.
