HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD TAROT DECK
塔罗小贴士
(如何选择一副好的塔罗牌)
There are hundreds of
decks to choose from with more
on the
way. So many decks, so little time.
(现金市场上已经有上百副塔罗牌让我们任意挑选,还有更多的牌正准备推出。这么多的牌,这么少的时间做选择。)
At the beginning of your tarot journey, you may
find it
overwhelming to have to learn card
meanings
from so many decks. If you are an old hand at
tarot,
you may be ready to venture into new territory
and
expand your knowledge to include different
traditions.
(在你的塔罗之旅的初期,你也许会觉得要记住这么多副塔罗牌中的所有牌意是一件很吃力的事情。如果你已经是塔罗老手的话,那也许你已经准备好了投身于新的塔罗领域,开阔眼界,扩张自己对于不同塔罗传统和学派的知识。)
Luckily for tarot enthusiasts, there are so
many good
choices! Many decks are reasonably priced but
some can
be quite pricy. So here are some things you may
want to
consider when you are shopping for a
deck.
(对于塔罗爱好者们来说,我们很是幸运的,因为市场上有着玲琅满目的塔罗牌选择!一般的塔罗牌都是价格比较适中的,可是也有个别的牌比较昂贵。所以,以下的一些要点是在你下次购买塔罗牌时需要考虑到的。)
Pick a System
选择一个系统
Beginners might want to choose a traditional
deck like
the Rider-Waite-Smith, which is the one we work
with in
our classes. Many modern tarot
decks are
variations on
this classic deck, and learning the RWS can
provide a
solid foundation for working with the
others.
(初学者也许希望挑选一副稍微传统的牌,比如说经典的韦特牌,这也是我们在课程里专用的牌。有很多现代设计的塔罗牌都是建立在韦特牌的基础上的,与韦特牌有着大同小异的设计和内容。而学习好了韦特牌可以给你一个很坚固的基础,为往后学习其他塔罗牌打好地基。)

普及版韦特塔罗牌
The Tarot de Marseilles and Crowley's Thoth
Tarot
are other seminal decks
which follow
different traditions.
They have also inspired
adaptations.
(马赛和克罗利的托特塔罗牌是其余的“种子牌”,他们都跟随着与韦特牌不同的传统和学派。这些“种子牌”也启发了很多大同小异的改编版本。)

http://s15/bmiddle/7bd45f67tc2532aa3734e&690-
When you are comfortable with one tradition,
you may
want to branch out to a deck that appeals to
your
personal taste in art or themes. You will not
find it
difficult to transfer the meanings you have
already
learned, although there can be many layers of
meaning
for any card.
(当你熟悉了任何一个传统的“种子牌”时,你就可以扩展范围,根据自我对艺术或主题的迎合爱好挑选别的塔罗牌了。同一副“种子牌”发展出来的牌都有很多的相同之处。你会发现把原来“种子牌”里的牌意转到其他同学派的塔罗牌上不是一件难事。尽管每一张牌都有着多层次的牌意。)
Size
Matters
尺寸很重要
Consider the size of the deck. This becomes
important
when you read for others. Many querents are
visual and
will want to see the cards as you interpret. If
the
images are too small or dark they may pick up
the
cards, which means they get handled more. The
size of
your hands and how the cards feel when you
shuffle is
something to think about as well. Large cards
may be
great for teaching but cumbersome when
shuffling.
(你需要考虑到牌的尺寸与大小。这是当你在给他人做塔罗解读时尤其的重要。很多的寻问者们都是需要视觉辅助的,在你给他们解读时,他们也同时需要看清楚牌面的图案。如果你的塔罗牌太小了,或者颜色太暗了,寻问者们可能要求拿起牌看。这也意味着你的牌有更多会被他人触摸或使用的机会。你的手掌大小和塔罗牌的大小也是一个要考虑的要点,当塔罗牌在你的手上洗牌,把玩时给你的感觉要舒适。太大型的塔罗牌在教课时很合适,可是在洗牌,算牌时会变得很累赘,很笨重。)
This brings up another point. In choosing a
reading
deck, you will want to purchase a deck that
feels
durable enough for regular use. If you are
"earth
conscious," consider decks that are printed
using
green methods such as soy-based inks or
recycled card
stock.
(这也说到了另外一个要点了。在选择算牌用的塔罗牌时,你将需要购买一副感觉很耐用的牌,能经得起日常运用的牌为佳。如果你是绿色意识的环保主义者,你可以选择一些用绿色印刷方式的牌。它们用的墨水是
soy-based
的,或者卡片是选用能回收再用的纸张。)
The Art of Tarot
塔罗的艺术/设计
The most important consideration in choosing a
reading
deck is to see how well the images convey what
you want
to express.
(在挑选塔罗牌时最重要的一点是要看牌面的图案能否很好的让你传达你所想表达的东西。)
Get to know the artists and deck creators. Many
of them
attend conferences and have websites, mailing
lists or
blogs that discuss card meanings, new projects,
etc.
(尽量的去多了解这副牌的设计者,或背后策划的塔罗师,原创者。他们大多数都会参加各种研讨会,在自己的网站,邮寄名单,和博客上都会讨论到他们塔罗牌中的牌意,新的项目和活动,等。)
Are you a collector of decks? Even if you
weren't
intending to be, you may find that you came to
own more
decks than you planned. Some of these may even
be rare
or special editions not intended for everyday
use.
These decks can increase in value over time.
Purchasing
decks, like purchasing fine art, can become
an
investment, and well-kept or sealed decks can
be
resold.
(你是塔罗牌收藏家吗?哪怕你现在没有这个打算,你也许会慢慢地发现自己拥有的塔罗牌已经不知不觉中超乎了预计的数量了。有一些收藏也许是很罕见的精品,它们不是每天算牌时用的。这些稀有的精品牌的价值和价格也可以随着时间而曾加。购买塔罗牌就像购买艺术品一样,是一门投资。如果你的牌保存得很好或者简直没有开封过的,以后还可以随时再度出售。)
Regardless of what you
do with it, you'll recognize a
good personal deck if
it feels good in your hands,
pleases your eye, your
mind, and your unconscious.
(无论如何去辨别,一副好的牌,一副适合你的牌:在你的手中感觉良好,让你的眼前一亮,很是喜欢,让你的头脑,意识层面能得到满足感,愉悦感的话
- 就是好牌。)http://www/uc/myshow/blog/misc/gif/E___6743EN00SIGG.gif- 六月份“塔罗小贴士”:如何挑选一副好牌" TITLE="II - 六月份“塔罗小贴士”:如何挑选一副好牌" />
