I'm really enjoying writing about these cards. I've never been very interested in the Major Arcana -- I've found the Minor Arcana, which refers more to "day to day" life, to be much more interesting. So it's (also) interesting to be picking so many Major Arcana cards and be more or less forced to research them in order to write about them.

I thought this process would be as much about me learning about the cards as "teaching" others, and I'm glad that has turned out to be the case.

One other thing I'm being reminded of is that full size decks, and especially ones that are larger than full size (such as the Victoria Regina), are almost impossible for me to shuffle. I tend to drop them a lot. I'm much happier with the so-called "miniature" decks. My favorite deck is the Universal De Angelis Mini; the new Secret Tarot deck that I recently bought is the miniature version as well, and I also have the Fairy Tarot Mini. They seem to fit my hands better, and feel more natural to me.
