The major difference I see today between old school and new school users of popular tarot is their approach to the content of the cards, and that approach comes down to the hermetics of tarot - whether to learn, dryly and painfully, the now old-fashioned "correspondences" - or, to try to respond to the images as images, without learning, to use them as magic mirrors. It seems to be an issue with people just starting out, because of course they are impatient - they just want to read as quickly as possible."
This is exactly why I am here and calling myself a beginner. Patience is never my strong suit and I have spent four years looking in mirrors and often beating my head against the wall. While I have learned a lot intuitively and perhaps symbolically it has become time for me to put these things aside and learn the facts for the sake of accuracy and truth.
I don't care where you put this, or what you call it but please continue. I have been looking long for discussions like this and am so excited to learn from you all.
