thoth study or intuition?
Alobar,I appreciate your question, and your quote from Paul Case: "Tarot is a system of enlightenment ." But this system does essentially involve moving through symbols towards insights and revelations,so that it's meditative with visual patterns.True,study can see the symbols as an end, not as a means towards an end. And the esoteric direction can be lost in the forest of endless symbol-trees.It's all in the balance between the extremes of interpretation and meditation.No one approach tells the whole tale, at least as I see it . (No one deck carries all perspectives of truth, either.)
