The Visconti Magician's peculiar hat

Post by A-M »

All of a sudden I saw what the peculiar hat of the Visconti-Sforza Magician refers to: the caduceus, the staff of Hermes! :-)

On my blog I elaborate on this subject and discuss the symbolism of more historical decks:

I have in the past... but I have not met a lot of enthusiasm for my views... which is fine, of course, but therefore I do not post regularly anymore.

This insight was worth mentioning, I thought. :-)
