To start off, I chose to use tarot cards with their multiple meanings as my vocab. It's easy on me, easy to relate to and keep track of, and fun for some other people who might be interested in the subject. The other thing about my vocab blog that will differ from the others is that each card contains four words with the exception of the 4 knights(8 for the knights). That's 328 words for those doing the math. So an extra word wouldn't hurt now would it.
BEGINNINGS
Source sentence:
Context:
To begin is to start so beginnings are multiple start points.
Definition:
n. the point of time or space at which anything begins
Original sentence:
What beginnings we make for ourselves in our life will come around again when they come to an end.
Notes:
It is important to plan and pave the road ahead, but when the the task is completed it is important to start something new. The other reason why I chose this word is that it is most commonly misspelled. BegiNNings.
FAITH:
Source Sente nce:
"He is a fool because only a simple soul has the innocent faith to undertake such a journey with all its hazards and pain."
Context:
In this sentence it is described a being blind to the things around you, but believing in the outcome. So I would have to say belief is a big part of it from looking at the picture as the dog follows the fool as he goes near the cliff.
Definition:
n-confidence or trust in a person or thing.
Original Sentence:
It was not the years of martial arts that the drove fighter to win the competition, but his faith in his training and teachings that led him to victory.
SPONTANEOUS:
Source Sentence:
At the start of his trip, the Fool is a newborn - fresh, open and spontaneous.
Context:
To be open to something new is what comes to mind when I put fresh and open together but that seems like only half of it.
Definition:
adj- proceeding from natural feeling or native tendency without external constraint.
Original Sentence:
FOLLY:
Source Sentence:
He is strangely empty (as is zero), but imbued with a desire to go forth and learn. This undertaking would seem to be folly, but is it?
Context:
I always thought of folly as a act of stupidity but for a goal or a reason that drove it, so stupid would probably be a suitable substitute for folly in this case.
Definition:
n- lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight.
Original Sentence:
The reporter said it was "folly" that drove the skyscraper climber caught in his quest to reach the top. But the climber, who remains anonymous, adamantly argued that he "...was well equipped, fully aware of the surroundings, and set to do what no one else has done before." He was pulled halfway in his assent to the top by local police and fire crew.
All cards will be taken from the Rider-Waite deck and mostly all of the original sentences will come from "The Fool's Journey" and will be lucky to get through the major arcana(first 22 of the 78 cards of the deck), so I may jump around how I feel like which cards have unfamiliar vocabulary. If there is enough response to tarot I'll make a post about it when that time comes.
My favorite card is the first card 0(the number) the fool.
Source sentence:
"We begin with the Fool (0), a card of beginnings."
Context:
To begin is to start so beginnings are multiple start points.

What beginnings we make for ourselves in our life will come around again when they come to an end.
