Whether as pictographs or basic elements of language, Tarot cards
form distinct units of meaning. One card may indeed establish a
word, two cards may construct a compound word or phrase, and three
or more cards may constitute a sentence or sentences. While any one
card is easy enough to "translate" in isolation, the challenge is
to make sense of the "deep structure" that organizes the several
cards of the spread. A secondary system of icons can provide vital
clues as to how individual cards relate. That system is our
treasury of punctuation marks. Punctuation marks help us to
pinpoint the precise structure of the sentences that constitute our
life story. Punctuation helps to organize and emphasize the themes
at play. It assists us to comprehend the relationships that exist
between nouns (the people, places, and things in our lives) and
verbs (actions and occurrences). Punctuation can connect, isolate,
confirm, limit, regulate, contrast, motivate and animate the flow
of information-our intelligence. In other words, punctuation offers
cues on how to understand the course of our experiences. A
punctuation icon may be drawn randomly from the deck and placed
between any two Tarot cards whose relationship is in question.
Alternately, one or more punctuation icons may be placed between
cards according to the reader's intuition. With the placement of
punctuation, the cards may be read as whole sentences rather than
fragments. This book oulines a method for placing punctuation in a
Tarot spread, describes the meaning of punctuation (in both the
upright and reversed cases), presents a Punctuated Tarot system
blending punctuation icons with tarot archetypes, and provides six
other techniques of Divination by Punctuation.
