Poor Wandering One
Yes, Case writes far more clearly than Waite. The book is just on the Major Arcana and goes deeply into all the symbols on each card. There's minimal information on divination as it focuses on the wisdom teachings of each card.
That might be just the ticket then. At this point in my tarot journey, I'm primarily interested in the wisdom teachings for study and meditation, rather than divination. Whether I'll resonate with what Case has to say--well, I won't know that until I actually read him. So thanks again for the tip.
