NPOV[edit]

Parsa and myself have been have been placing the NPOV tags on the cards. See the talk page at Talk:The World (Tarot card) Since tarot cards were not designed for the occult, the placement of "occult" stub tags does constitute POV and ignores tarot's gaming heritage. These individual card pages offer nothing more than occult speculations and perhaps should be deletedSmiloid 00:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tarot did indeed originate as a playing-card game, but the number of tarot packs produced for game play is dwarfed by the enormous number and variety of packs created for occult use or fortunetelling. Regardless of how one feels about this state of affairs, it is as a divinatory oracle that the tarot pack is best known today. 74.83.14.59 (talk) 07:25, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to[edit]

I am suggesting that the information on the individual card pages for the cups suit would be better placed in Suit of cups pageTetron76 (talk) 17:05, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Art & Interpretation[edit]

This page concerns itself solely with the imagery created by artist Pamela Colman Smith to represent her vision of the card. This 1909 deck, while certainly the best known and most influential of modern tarots, is a stark departure from the traditional format of the suit cards from their origins in Renaissance Italy forward, where the suits simply showed a certain number of their particular denominator arranged in a geometric pattern, much in the manner of contemporary playing cards. Likewise, the interpretation is that given by Smith's patron, A.E. Waite, rather than the more astrologically based occult interpretation of the card (Venus in the Third Decan of Scorpio). To fix this page, however, would necessitate fixing all – a daunting task! 74.83.14.59 (talk) 07:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
