Added to round out the Major Arcana in pool #43348. I noticed that Chariot/Fool/Judgement/World were not uploaded in spite of featuring nonhuman characters (in particular, World is also symbolically linked to the Wheel of Fortune); the remaining cards (Magician, Priestess, Empress, Emperor, Hierophant, Hermit, Justice, Hanged Man, Tower, Star) do not depict nonhuman characters, but they do form a chronological image series: the Fool's Journey.

The Minor Arcana do not make up a chronological series, so this human-only exception does not apply to those.

    why are these being uploaded to e6?

    I specifically went out of my way to explain this in the post descriptions because I knew somebody would ask. I am completing a set that somebody else uploaded because half of the Major Arcana already have nonhuman characters (particularly horses, sphinxes, angels, lions, birds), and the remainder make up a self-referential chronological series (including the Devil being related to the Lovers, and the World being related to the Wheel of Fortune.)

    These properties are not true of the Minor Arcana (the knights have horses, but no story is being told by the image sequence), so the remaining 52 cards are not being uploaded.
