Nostalgia is a double-edged sword. Rousing the ghosts of the past can easily guide the undecided person to a particular action even as it can easily undermine the most resolute of actors. Nostalgia is propaganda, and like any weapon, its value is determined by those who would wield it and by those it is wielded upon. The present you is created from the amalgam of many hundred nostalgic memories. Don’t allow the identity you have created for yourself to be used as a tool against you. You know who you are and what you went through that shaped your present you. Use the present to create new memories to be nostalgic about later.


The Bosch Tarot is a series of collages based on the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. Using a unique set of meanings that doesn’t always aligns with Waite, it will sometimes read direct, and sometimes read like a koan. It is a good deck for introspection and examination of internal motives. The Bosch Tarot is presented by Atanas A. Atanassov and ©Lo Scarabeo.
