Visiting Musée Français de la Carte à Jouer, The French Playing Card Museum

10/11/2021

PictureFront & oldest part of the museum was formerly the Château d'Issy of the Princes of Conti.
While it's been a few years since I went to the Musée Français de la Carte à Jouer, it is about time I shared some photos of the tarot and Lenormand cards that I viewed during my visit.

In my opinion, much of the struggle the USA seems to be facing during its Pluto Return is the deepest divisiveness and polarization, which seems to have been fomented by the FB algorithm's preference for negative posts since they get the most engagement.

Tristan Harris, Founder of the Center for Humane Technology, recently stated after Frances Haugen's testimony that:​
