Mah Jongg Tile Set Description
Tile Set Name: TAROT.TIL
Subject: Tarot Cards
Created by: Maureen Mason
Description:
This tile set is based on the Rider-Waite Tarot, one of the simplest
and most traditional of the tarot decks. The Rider deck contains 22
Major Arcana cards (archetypal figures generally representing large
forces in the life of the person whose tarot is being read) and nine
of these appear in my tile set as "painted" figures:
0 - The Fool 6 - The Lovers
1 - The Magician 8 - Strength
2 - The High Priestess 9 - The Hermit
3 - The Empress 10 - The Wheel of Fortune
4 - The Emperor
I've also included a portion of three of the four suits, or Minor
Arcana, from the Rider Tarot. In general terms, the Minor Arcana
represent different aspects of creativity (wands), thought and
communication (swords), and feeling (cups). The Rider deck's fourth
suit, pentacles, which represents aspects of physical or financial
well-being, is omitted from the tile set, along with the aces and
court cards of each suit. As I continue to experiment with the
TileMaker program, I hope to make another set using the remaining,
higher Major Arcana and to find the best balance between figure and
suit cards. Your feedback is welcome!
