Early sermons denouncing cards in general and tarot in particular are known. Tarot seems to have ruffled Church feathers mainly for its depictions of the Pope and Papess and the Devil as well. Since they weren't originally used for divination, the main objection of the Church was card playing and the political commentary evident in the images on the cards which appeared to some Church officials as blasphemous. So yeah, tarot and Christianity have had a strained but enmeshed relationship since the beginning of tarot. Thanks for your link, I read your blog and really enjoyed your thoughts.Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-51775733752236212192006-12-19T02:38:00.000-05:002006-12-19T02:38:00.000-05:00It seems that Tarot is something that Christians d...It seems that Tarot is something that Christians disagree about.

I'm just not content with the idea that, ok, I found the path and now all I have to do is walk it. What about this path? What about that one? Lemme go see! :)Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-1663216623183349032006-11-17T22:06:00.000-05:002006-11-17T22:06:00.000-05:00Some of us are simply bound to love the journey as...Some of us are simply bound to love the journey as much or even more, perhaps, than the destination. It's just how we are put together. {{{{}}}} And it's okay. It's good.<br /><br />Heart, I will try to get over there. Right now we've finally got phone service, but only a dial-up connection. Sometimes the only way I can get a page to load is to pack up my laptop and go to the Internet cafe in town. Next week the satellite arrives. Hurray! Then I should be BACK!!!katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423414579905745934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-69645898374018788492006-11-16T13:28:00.000-05:002006-11-16T13:28:00.000-05:00Heart! Yes! After I posted this I went and read ...Heart! Yes! After I posted this I went and read your brave post and now will link to it within this post, too. It brought up so much drek in me, though, I needed to let it settle. Reading through your links and the stories within your post was agonizing...the dead children, the rapist, the arrogant dickheads (e.g. Farris), the smiling women with fifteen children. Like you, I just yearn for them to "come home." <br /><br />Roswila, it's so important to me to honor a person's own path and respect their soul's journey, which is why I seem to find myself in sticky situations such as I describe in this post. I understand the women of fundamentalism, of any religion, and I understand how scary my own journey might seem to them, so I want to walk gently with them and not alienate anyone. <br /><br />People who have been abused or have endured trauma seem to be less satisfied with packaged faith and predetermined answers. We've already experienced the unanswerable, so maybe we find we're better able to accept that.Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-10397052200550656632006-11-16T13:03:00.000-05:002006-11-16T13:03:00.000-05:00What can I say.

However I deeply believe that doubt (questioning) is an important spiritual tool. So does my Catholic roommate.<br /><br />As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse I have some idea of what certain parts of your struggle have been like. And I admire your forthright and clear sharing of your own history. <br /><br />Blessed Be!Roswilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669275952943509399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-82749264995623960792006-11-16T12:04:00.000-05:002006-11-16T12:04:00.000-05:00Ah Ginny.

I came here to wonder if you'd read my "I Name the Patriarchs," post to find this, which I will link to. <br /><br />Well, Sofar8, you should go read, too. All y'all.
