Hi!

It comes from a general interest in symbology. Most specifically, symbolic anthropology through the study of heraldry, vexillology, numismatics... and tarotology.

But what really made me realize that the Tarot cards could seriously be used as tools inside a complex system of interpretation was the two following books:

• Tarot of the Magicians by Oswald Wirth (PDF file)
• The Way of Tarot: The Spiritual Teacher in the Cards by Alejandro Jodorowsky (on Amazon.com)

As for my motivations, It would probably take much more than a single post to fit in how my life's path converged on this hobby of mine. ;-)
