Tarot card alignment and symbols
Posted: 01 Dec 2012, 17:03
You can see the first deck I wish to make at http://texasplayingcards.com It has 16X4 suits for 64 cards. The second deck I want to make has 16x9 for 144 cards. The rank for the 2nd deck goes as followed (K)ing 15, (Q)ueen 14, (B)ishop 13, (C)avalier 12, (J)ack 11, (T)ower 10, (9), (8), (7), (6), (5), (4), (3), (2), (A)ce, (?) Joker.
Just curious, if you had too, what alignment would you put the tarot cards in and what are the old symbols used within them?
