To all of you bloggers and web hosts out there, be sure not to let your domain name expire unless you are really really sure you’re ready to give it up.
In June, I let go of tarot-table-talk.com. I had signed off in November and let the domain expire. Yesterday I tried to get it back but it was snatched up by one of those domain-snatching agencies, and I’m told by an agent that I probably wouldn’t be able to get it back for less than $500.00. Well, I’d rather add $500.00 in tarot decks to my collection, thank you very much! Tarot-table-talk.net will do just fine—lucky for me they hadn’t snatched that up!
So what inspired me to come back to TTT? New York City. I’m vacationing in the big apple, and have just spent two days wandering through the Met. Tarot was everywhere:
There were knights…
and the Nine of Cups…
and The Chariot…
and Lorenzo di Credi’s Portrait of a Young Woman…
which immediately brought to mind Kat Black’s Two of Swords in The Golden Tarot. Or was it the Two of Swords in Kat Black’s Touchstone Tarot? Hmm. Let me consult my Touchstone Tarot iPhone app…
Nope. It was the Golden Tarot after all…
There were, of course, lovers everywhere…
Even on the streets…
I started thinking how fun it would be for a group of tarot enthusiasts to get together and do a scavenger hunt through a museum in search of tarot images. They could snap photos and make a slide show to share, and then I thought, a blog would be a good way to do something like that! Hey, I had one of those!
So, dear readers, feel free to send photos and captions to me at: susan (at) magicians-table (dot) com. No need to limit yourself to museums. Street shots are welcome, grocery stores, wherever you find them.
