Tarot of the Saints Study

I am not Catholic, but nonetheless remain devoted to Church history and the Saints. Author Anneli Rufus wrote a wonderful book called Magnificent Corpses about reliquaries in Europe and her life-long fascination with Saints, even though she is Jewish. Her book piqued my curiosity and I bought some card decks and books for my collection dealing with this subject.

I have just uploaded the eleven studies I did in December 2006 and January 2007 with this card deck. I will be continuing this study in daily draws as the spirit moves me, so to speak. Instead of a daily draw, I’ll be continuing numerically with the study of these cards.

I have two other decks dealing with Saints: Voices of Saints, and The Saint Deck, as well as two French playing card decks with statuary of Saints found in French churches. I mix visual images of these for comparison with the Tarot of the Saints.

Here is a snap of my card and book collection about Saints, church history, illuminated manuscripts, and biographies of religious figures in history. I ran out of room on the table, so they aren’t all there!
