There seems no innocence in Carmilla. If it had been Laura, that might have been a different question :)Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-46856566735027305962014-10-02T06:43:10.699+01:002014-10-02T06:43:10.699+01:00Yes, I agree that some elements of the story could...Yes, I agree that some elements of the story could lend themselves to Page of Cups qualities, though personally I associate that sort of blinkered lovesickness to the Knight of Cups. Thanks for your thoughts! Much appreciated. :) Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494373028041693775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-57933042375126209842014-10-01T08:50:24.700+01:002014-10-01T08:50:24.700+01:00I remember reading Carmilla years ago as part of a...I remember reading Carmilla years ago as part of a collection of short stories. I learned a great word from reading it: "phantasmagoria", which is defined as a "sequence of real or imaginary images like those seen in a dream." And vampires are known for the amorous, alluring qualities.<br /><br />Perhaps we see Carmilla as the Page of Cups in that she is seemingly a young, passionate lover. She could represent the dreamy-eyed state of new romance, and how one may not see someone for what he or she really is due to being caught up in the energy of this card.<br /><br />Although, it would seem like that the character of Laura could also inhabit some qualities of the Page of Cups, as she is young, naive, and somewhat wrapped up in her emotions with Carmilla. So ultimately, maybe its the themes explored in the story itself that are analogous to the Page, rather than the individual characters.<br /><br />But all this is just speculation on my part. Really, who knows? Either way, this was a fun, little post, and I now I'm thinking I may have to check out this deck. Thanks for sharing. n_nChani@tarotmorehttp://www.tarotmore.comnoreply@blogger.com
