Today, I am enjoying using a new copy of the:
Voyager Tarot, Intuition Cards for the 21st Century.
By James Wanless, Ph.D.. Artist Ken Knutson.
78 full color collage art Tarot cards. 117 page mini booklet.
Fair Winds: ISBN 978-1-59233-322-6, 2017. First edition 1984.
Has anyone seen a chart or list correlating the 78 cards in the Voyager Tarot (or other Tarot decks) with the 64 Hexagrams of the I Ching???
For examples:
I Ching Number = Tarot Card Name
#1 Creative, Initiating = Magician, 1
#4, Childhood, Youthful Folly, Impermanence = Fool, 0
#52 Mountain = Hermit, 9
During a morning Voyager Tarot card reading, I usually select one card as the most significant for the day. I would like to write on each Tarot card the corresponding, related, correlated, comparable, similar themed, or relevant I Ching Hexagram Number.
Also, this is a different way for selecting an I Ching Hexagram other than yarrow sticks or coin tossing.
A Repost from 2018:
I first purchased and used Tarot decks in 1979. I studied numerous books on the subject of the Tarot. I purchased numerous decks over the decades. First, I enjoyed the variety of artwork and symbolism in the 78 cards in the different decks from different centuries. Second, the creator of each deck brings some new insights into the overall structure and meanings for the cards in the deck. Third, I enjoyed "reading" and creatively interpreting the symbols and images in these small art objects in the context of my own life and questions.
I even made, in 2011, some very incomplete notes in hypertext documents on the Tarot.
My method over the years is to ask a question or reflect on my current consciousness and situation in my life. Then, I randomly pull from 3 to 5 cards from the deck. I try to interpret, reflect upon, and consider the meaning of each card. I may use The Voyager Tarot book to refresh or expand my understanding or memories. Then, I arrange the cards in some order to "tell a story." I do this once a day, at night; then, in the morning, reconsider the meanings and relevance of that 3-5 card reading in my life. I only look at cards right side up; although, I do sometimes reverse the meaning of the cards depending upon the story I create.
I enjoy using the 1991 Voyager Tarot deck the most.
This photomontage deck was designed by James Wanless, Ph.D. The photographic collage artwork was created by Ken Knutson. It was first published in 1984, and then in 1991 and 2008.
