The vegetation is composed of maritime pines, domestic pines, cork trees, elm, oaks, sea lilies, junipers and shrubs of the Mediterranean maquis. The flora is instead composed of many fallow deers, some wild boars, foxes, badgers, weasels and other rodents; finally, the avifauna counts numerous species that can also be observed from close up through special wooden huts. The afternoon will be dedicated to visiting the famous Tarot Garden, near Capalbio, a large park containing the cyclopean statues of the artist Niki de Saint Phalle. The works, between 12 and 15 meters high, are dedicated to the symbols of the tarot, a world between dream and reality in which the 22 major arcana of the tarot cards are depicted. The garden is a real open-air museum, perfectly inserted in the hilly landscape of the Maremma, a park of exceptional charm, unique in the world, one of the most important examples of environmental art in Italy.

The 5 Coin Oracle
Printed and produced by Old Yellow Moon Publishing February 2019 Copyright Cara Lyn Hamilton © See other products on: www.carahamilton.co.uk www.secret-tarot-garden.com Origins There are numerous coin oracles available. Geomancy based methods are the rule and as reading systems they are excellent and carry a wonderful history if historic methods interest you. This oracle comes from my experience in Tea Cup, Rune and Tarot Reading. As at the time of writing I have over 20 years professional reading experience I hope this speaks well of the thought and process invested in this system. My aim was to create a Zen reading system that would be simple, easy to read and perform. As a reader or performer you can add this into your current work without difficulty. Since I created it a few years ago, I have used it on numerous occasions to add something different into a reading. This oracle pdf gives you a reading framework, and interpretation guide, my additional thoughts on interpretation and how to relate it to a Tarot Reading with my Zairja Tarot Reading. Note: This system is aimed at both the Fortune Teller and the Magician. I believe my system to be of great value to both communities and those who work in both fields. Contents: Requirements How to think about the system Landscape Reading The General Reading Breaking the rules Health Issues With Palmistry The Cartomancy Square The Seven Planets Reading The Zairja Reading Requirements 5 coins, that is it. Personally I use either Victorian pennies or bronze coins of Chinese style and carry interesting Chinese calligraphy markings on one side and sun, moon and monkeys on the other.

In the Tarot Garden, a Creation by Niki De Saint Phalle
18 DECEMBER 2014 CATERINA POMINI 9067 IN THE TAROT GARDEN, A CREATION BY NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE The Giardino dei Tarocchi (Tarot Garden) lies on the southern slope of the Garavicchio hill, approximately 8 km from Capalbio, province of Grosseto; the French-American sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle (born Catherine Marie-Agnès Fal de Saint Phalle) began to build it in 1979, after personally visiting Antoni Gaudí's Parco Güell in Barcelona and the Parco dei Mostri (Park of the Monsters) in Bomarzo, province of Viterbo. It looks like a town out of time, a triumph of colours, mirrors, glasses, ceramics and Venetian murrine in the heart of Southern Tuscany's Maremma countryside; the 22 monumental sculptures representing the greater Mysteries of the tarot seem to rule over the cobblestone paths, the oaks and the olive trees, over the cobalt blue sea extending to the horizon. To make this magical and spiritual dream come true, Niki spent about seventeen years working and living in the Garden, assisted by her husband Jean Tinguely, a team of renowned contemporary artists and a group of specialized workers; the Swiss architect Mario Botta constructed a wall and entrance for it: a thick wall with one large circular opening, which clearly separates the Garden from the outside world. During construction works, Niki moved into The Empress-Sphinx and patiently waited for her sculptures to take shape (or maybe to come to life?)... She died four years after the opening of her spellbinding Creation, which is now maintained by the Fondazione Il Giardino dei Tarocchi. Beyond the wall, the dusty gravel path goes up to a large square occupied by the Magician and the High Priestess, the first two Major Arcana: the masculine power of creation and the feminine inner intuition form a single, massive statue, which supplies water to the Wheel of Fortune's fountain.

NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE: a Psychological Approach to Her Artwork and the Symbolic Significance of the Tarot Garden by Paul Brutsche
ARAS Connections Issue 1, 2012 NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE: a Psychological Approach to Her Artwork and the Symbolic Significance of the Tarot Garden By Paul Brutsche The images in this paper are strictly for educational use and are protected by United States copyright laws. 1 Unauthorized use will result in criminal and civil penalties. ARAS Connections Issue 1, 2012 Niki de Saint Phalle died in 2002 in San Diego. She was already a famous artist during her lifetime, and since her death she continues to be a presence in the media and in her big and colorful sculptures. She has left behind her, important work, which seems easy of access and yet at the same time is enigmatic and unusual in its style and therefore difficult to understand. This paper tries to contribute to an understanding of her work through symbolical interpretation along Jungian lines. This psychological approach is not meant to give a reductive explanation of Niki de Saint Phalle’s personality, but on the contrary, to open an additional perspective and to honor her creative effort by discovering a symbolical depth beyond and in addition to the aesthetic and artistic value of her work. I will first introduce Niki de Saint Phalle with a biographical overview of her life. Then we will take a look at several aspects of her creative work: first, her critical examination of the conventions and the spirit of the patriarchy, and secondly, a later phase in which she created her well known “Nana Figures,” in which she found her own corresponding feminine self.

The Different Types of Tarot - Purposes and Intentions
Adam McLean’s Study Course on the artwork and symbolism of modern tarot Lesson 3 : The different types of tarot - purposes and intentions When the human mind is presented with a thousand and more related things each different from the other in various ways, it cannot help wanting to classify them, and put them into different categories, hoping that this might throw some light on the subject. So now we inevitably find ourselves drawn to categorise our tarots. It would be a very complex task of almost forensic scholarly analysis to see the various influences on each tarot and draw up a kind of family tree of imagery, with so many branches and interconnections. Such an approach though interesting will be better left to some student to undertake in their Ph.D. thesis, as it would be a bit tedious, breaking the momentum of our journey in our course of exploring tarot art. So though we will not be looking at a scholarly categorization of tarot designs, there are a number of easier and more immediately meaningful approaches we can take which will help us see different types of tarots. We can, for example, look at the intention of the designer in making the images. What was the purpose they intended in creating their individual set of designs. Now such an approach is fraught with danger as, unless we have discussed this with the artist or designer, what right do we have to say what their intentions were? (Artists in any case usually duck questions about their motivations, or at least give all sorts of obscure answers, so we might not get very far by asking them directly.) We will not get our Ph.D’s with this approach of guessing or estimating the artists’ intentions, but we should get some understanding and insight, flawed though this method may be.
