The record
I am particularly fond of this deck, because it was the first I ever received. A favorite aunt gave me the cards as a gift, and set me on a path of mystery, magic and joy that I hope to continue throughout the rest of my life. The aunt and I are both mystically-minded individuals, and she knew I would love to learn about the Tarot. I therefore have a particularly emotional connection with the Elemental Tarot, which goes beyond my fondness for image or meaning. The Elemental Tarot is so named for its use of the four elements, earth, air, fire, water, and then the fifth, holistic Universe element represented by the Major Arcana. For the Minor Arcana, the element earth refers to pentacles, air to swords, fire to wands, and water to cups. The symbols for the elements are at the very bottom of every card. The holistic Element for the Major Arcana is represented by an oval, Water by a half moon turned on its side to take the form of a cup or bowl, Earth by a square, Air by a circle and Fire by a triangle. The cards are also color coded according to each element. The deck itself is unusual in several ways. Ms. Smith for example includes symbolic references as reminders of each cards mean
