The Major Arcana
Hey, hey, hey. Look at you, all ready to jump in.
Well, cool.
Here’s what you do.
Start from the top and pick an archetype. Pick “The Fool becomes Joyful.” Notice how the description is loosely broken down into “old book” and “new book?”
Read the description.
Think about it.
Understand the archetype as represented in the old book (in the case of The Fool it’s basically that you’re some kind of spiritual or evolutionary training recruit). Find out where your thinking reflects the ideas of the old book archetype, reject those elements, and replace them with the elements of the new book archetypes provided in my commentary and in the deck images.
Smile.
Sit with that for a while (i.e., don’t jump onto the next card too quickly).
Let it percolate in your head as as you do that, be sure to pay attention to what you are thinking.
Catch old world thought patterns as they come up and scrub them out.
Don’t compromise.
Keep scrubbing until all (or most) traces of old world thinking are gone for a particular card and then move on to the next card. Move through the deck at a pace you feel comfortable with.
Be patient.
Take your time.
Don’t rush.
As long as your intent remains to move forward, you’ll be fine.
And of course, take this seriously, because it is serious. Conditions on this planet are deteriorating fast and you need to do something about it now.
