The Major Arcana
In this category of pages I will outline and describe the “lock and key” system of the tarot, the old archetype being the locks which keep you away from your power, and the new archetypes the “keys” which you can use to rocket your consciousness forward into the light and begin the process of transforming and uplifting this world.
As I describe each of the archetypes in the book of tarot, I will begin by providing a few comments on the core meaning of the old world archetype (the lock) and then discuss how the new world archetype differs from/replaces the old archetype. The practical goal here is to identify the whisps and tendrils of old world archetypes in your consciousness and thinking about the world, and replace those stinky versions with the new purified and one hundred percent gauranteed accurate, safe, powerful, and uplifting archetypes provided in the Halo/Sharp tarot deck. Be mindful of your own thought process. Pay attention to what you are thinking and try to identify thought patterns that are anchored in old world archetypes as they come up. Whenever you start thinking in terms of the old “fool” archetype (i.e., life’s a school or testing ground), scrub that out of your mind and think about the revised archetype Joyful. I recommend you study a card per day, or per week, or however long it takes for you to get the old ideas out, and the new ideas in. The goal here is to scrub all traces of old world thinking out of your consciousness. Depending on past indoctrination, any fears associated with the old archetypes, and any resulting resistances, this can take anywhere from a few days to a few months.
Be patient with yourself. This is a process that will only get easier with time.
As you engage in the practical work, I recommend you have a copy of the Book of the Triumph of Spirit by your side as you study these archetypes as it provides the “energetic reference” for the materials provided here.
