We seldom take art as a collection of works. At best the habit is to observe one painting at a time. The mind has the ability to make generalizations with limited information. This is due to the gifts of creation. If one looks closer at a collection of works the views and conclusions can change. Take for example the examples of art known as the labors of the months. A collection of 12 images depicting activities of what appears at glance as the life style of an agrarian society. This is deceptive. The media for this art has been executed in stone, glass, and paper. What may seem a quaint diversion into the past until history repeats itself no doubt and replays into the future for cycles of events can divulge into some interesting predictions. No one would based on clairvoyance could reach into the future and discern that the labors of love duplicated by artists are the very source of knowledge to understand what the tarot images are in fact pointed towards. The art in a tarot is as elusive as how many uses have been found for the book. The very origins provide a stumbling block by writers both expert and novice who attempt to find an origin. Everything has a past. Therefore to find the beginning requires to look in the proper place. The stars. The stellar home of the tarot is yet to be told by some ambitious writers. Until then we can best hope to pursue the matter of stars by learning how the tarot functions . This is achieved by looking at a temple door. Once such door would at the cathedral of Chartres. The concept of the vine and the product produced the grape is symbolic. From the grape a wine is created that can be used to produce an effect. Why is the meaning of this process and why is it kept a secret. To the external world the use of alcohol in ritual is not explained. It is of course up to the individual to seek out this kind of knowledge. At first glance the labors may not seem much but they are important as to assist the searcher for finding out what the arcana are for the grape leaves arranged upon the head of this statue. The rites of Dionysus (Bacchus).
