Kinda about the book/about Tarot: I learned all the basic meanings of the cards a long time ago, but you need to read more than one or two books to get competent at it in my experience; you need to read enough to be able to think creatively about it, which is a lot harder to do with only bare-bones minimalist glosses in your mind for the cards. One of the things I liked about this book was the detailed description of the literal images, and not ~just~ more abstract treatments, you know, as looking closely at the cards can inspire a specialized meaning for that specific instance of your reading. (I read that somewhere else too, but it’s kinda an obviously influential idea here, really.) Like, as I draft this, I just did a reading an hour ago, and one of the cards was the Hermit reversed—and so it’s like: the light is shining down on me, right. That’s why I thought that there was light.

…. I hesitate to call it a ‘witchy’ book, because it’s so old-fashioned (not just ancient: old-fashioned), although I suppose maybe it is, in the sense that it’s the old-fashioned village psychic type, first coming into the light of the documented past, where before there were only those old men, those fancy old occultists….
…. Incidentally, the book is reflective of the time it was written, the late ‘60s/early ‘70s (1970)—an almost familiar period. For example, the clients—the hippie; the intellectual; the housewife—are typical of the period. Also, while she’s not really a witch—perhaps ‘witchy’ by a sort of extension, around the edges, ie witch-y, you know—but she is a believer in the coming of the Aquarian Age, but does not seem to know what this would signify, even as much as we do now, believing that it would still follow what I guess you could call the ‘One Savior Model’, even if there were just one savior and billions of dependent sinners, the one savior would basically have the only life worth having, and institute a world where only one mode of life was permissible. Some have tried to foist this on people in the sectarian religions, but it has never worked, because it cannot. There is perhaps one other old-fashion-alism, if you will, in the book, but people would react too strongly, too emotionally, if I pointed it out. (And not just the left of my party, you know.) I guess you could say she was a woman of good will, who came from a time and section or whatever, possessing a certain amount of good will, but also still very, very early in time into the regeneration of the world.
I feel like I learned a certain amount about Tarot and numerology, the Kabbalah, and astrology, but also that each of those topics deserves at least one complete, separate book, of course. I also liked the Tree of Life (Kabbalah) spread, and even the general card meanings refresher. It was a good witch-y classic-era-psychic general tarot guide, you know.… (altro)
