I've been reading his things on the Major Arcana - has anyone else read those? What did you think? There's "The key to great mysteries" online for free, absolutely mind-blowing. And does anyone know which of his works should be sought out to learn about the Minor? I've lit upon something, but didn't understand a single thing, just the symbolism on Ace through Ten and some bits on the court cards. Would love to read something by him on the exact symbolism of the Suits - anything at all on this? IP: Logged |

I've learned about him, but I don't recall reading anything by him so I can't make any recommendations. But for those wondering who he is this is a good intro (and note the external links):

Do you know about the Four Worlds? Do you understand the significance of the Name? Do you realize the descending order of progressive density in the becoming manifestation from Spirit to physical being? Look at the Wheel of Fortune. Start at the Centre. Really Look.

LIBRA 25
THE SIGHT OF AN AUTUMN LEAF BRINGS TO A PILGRIM THE SUDDEN REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY OF LIFE AND DEATHYou may feel that you've learnt much and grown tired of seeking information for life's understanding through conventional channels. A sudden insight can lead to a whole new understanding of life and its processes. Look for the answer to your problem in simple, everyday solutions. They are fleeting, but they are around you - look for the signs, they can have profound effects. Seasonal adjustments. Fleeting inspiration. Seeing things in their own time. Pilgrims and their journeys. Photographs. Snapshots in time. The Caution: Focusing on things which have no lasting value or are no longer relevant.
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see.
