"Alessandro Vezzosi, the director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his Tuscan hometown of Vinci, was skeptical. ".Vinceti said the "S" might refer to a woman in the Sforza dynasty that ruled Milan. Research that if you dont understand what I really mean about the Mona Lisa. Remember, Pixie was an artist, a great artist will put more than meets the eye in a great picture. Pamela Colman Smith - The Untold Story is a fascinating read. Knowing the background of the pictures and the characters being portrayed helps make sense of things. It's a good book to read before jumping to conclusions about the images. The whole thing had me cross checking dates and locations trying to see if one of the Barrymores might have made an appearance, lol. I had as lief be wooed of a snail." PCS had a lot of friends in the theater, and yes, they're in the deck. The lady on the 9 of Pents is Rosalind from As You Like It, and the snail on the ground alludes to the lines "Nay, an you be so tardy, come no more in my sight. The double line going across a lot of the cards indicates the scene was taking place on a stage. (And it was very lazy of me not to open it up!) While I don't normally recommend Katz-Goodwin (due to issues I have with their reading instructions, not so much their historical research), that one does clear up a lot of puzzling things about the images. I have Secrets of the Waite-Smith on my kindle.
The Secrets if the Waite-Smith tarot, and then that newer book that just has her name on it. There are at least two books that go in depth about her and the creation of this deck. So she probably worked on notes and initial sketches while she was in the city and then finished it while in the countryside.
It is also described that she would have had time to research tarot and visit the museum where the Sola Busch was displayed. It is believed that she was psychic and channeled while she pained. It is said that the painted while listening to music and that she was in a highly inspired (possibly even altered) state of mind. She used her friends as models for several cards, especially the Queen of Wands and her cat (that was an actual cat that they had at that cottage). She was in the countryside doing much of the work in a friends cottage. "3 of Cups - draw three maidens in a garden-ground with cups uplifted", or, alternately, "Draw Binah through water, but fudge it a little."įor that reason, I don't read into the tiny details overmuch. The reason I ask is that she had to do 78 scenic images - for cheap money - and a lot of what people are reading into the images might not have been intentional at all. So - off the top of your heads - does anyone recall the timeframe that PCS was given to finish these cards? I probably have the information someplace, but I don't recall it and it would take some time to dig it up. In relationship context this depiction often makes me think of the situation when one woman tells her closest friends that she and her partner are going to try for a baby and the friends say “Wonderful! Let’s celebrate and drink - while you still can!” 😁 It's just three women celebrating a harvest, raising a toast. Waite described the image as "Maidens in a garden-ground with cups uplifted " The reversed meaning can point to excess, but it could just as easily be talking about any physical excess: food, alcohol, etc. This card, in itself, isn't about cheating at all. If it shows up in a cluster of card that talk about someone cheating, it's just saying that they're meeting at parties, bars or festivals, or it could be a timing card indicating a holiday.
It's a happy, festive card and it's good to see in a relationship reading. It can be celebration, as Raggydoll mentioned.
