Jewel
Trogon said:Actually Jewel... I had kind of gathered from the book that this was kind of what the excercise was about. Looking downward across these 3 rows of 7 cards to see how each verticle line relates. At least that was how Ms. Pollack had us look at the beginning of each row of 7.
This was a great excercise though in any case and has spawned some very good discussion of the Major Arcana and how they relate to one another. Even though I focused on the verticle lines, while I was studying them, I "got" the horizontal relationships as well.
Hi Torgon! I think you are right in that she wanted us to look at both the vertical and horizontal relationships. I got much more out of the vertical relationships than I did the horizontal ones although they did make sense.
I also agree that when working through 78D great discussions emerge around specific decks and cards. I will probably study any deck I want to explore against this book to get to know its symbolism and understand it. The comparison process is a very effective learning method for me.
I've been in a real crunch for time lately and really miss working on this
