Tarot is a wonderful tool. Like any other tool, it has a language that develops naturally all on its own. In this episode, Rose Red and Jaymi demystify the acronyms and insider knowledge around the language of tarot. We discuss some of our favorite people, structure, and three-letter acronyms, including the famous LWB! Thanks again to Michael Charboneau for producing this week’s cast.
A list of words we chat about include:
LWB-- little white book, the booklet or the book that comes with a deck
RWS-- Rider Waite Smith deck
PCS-- Pamela Colman Smith
Major’s only-- decks, or exercises, using only the 22 major arcana of a full tarot deck
Tarot PDA-- jaymi’s definition for a tarot journal
TSW-- This Stuff Works
YMMV-- Your Mileage May Vary
Waite-- AE Waite
Crowley-- Aleister Crowley
Lady Freida Harris-- Artist of the Thoth deck
MLP-- My Little Pony (not really mentioned, thought we'd see if you were still with us)
3cd-- three-card draw
CoTD-- card of the day
HM-- Hidden Message (card pulled from the bottom of the deck)
