"The Rider-Waite deck is beautifully illustrated but the focus on Christian symbolism erases so much of both Tarot’s history and the world’s." Sooooo true. I learned on the deck and used it for almost 20 years. Finally, it was just too much. I went to Motherpeace deck in 1999. Still, I like that you use it in your essays and appreciate the perspective of heavy and Christan when I need it. Hope we get to see some of your new deck and benefit from your new learning. You are my fav!
My views on the tarot symbolism has also been heavily influenced recently by Stav Appel whose project Torah in the Tarot has uncovered so much amazing information about Judaic symbolism found in original the Tarot de Marseilles decks - highly rec getting into him: https://www.torahtarot.com/historysr
