This step initially looks lengthy, much more so for the Adept Level than for the Apprentice Level -- but, not to worry. I think that we might get much more out of this step than is first apparent.
Page 35 shows us how to lay out our chosen deck as part of familiarization process that Mary Greer set out. Whether you do a companion journal or just choose to make some notes, we are asked to select a keyword for each card in our deck.
Activity 5:2
This step is a book exercise, reviewing the cards shown, then following the text questions. This is to get our minds in the right frame for the work to follow. Mary goes on to talk at length about Keywords and the approach that they can follow to apply continuity to the way we look at and work with our cards.
Activity 5:3
Now, we choose Keywords for the court cards and each set of numbered cards. We then review the Keywords to see how they apply. I would think that we might have to revise our lists a bit. In any case, Mary notes that there is typically a developmental sequence to the story line that can be attached to each card. We can review this as another approach to getting to know our cards.
Activity 5:4
Now we are to look at/for a rhythm of ups and downs, outer and inner, activity and non-activity that might be associated with a sequence of cards within a suit. We can then compare our observations to number meanings.
MY NOTE:
This is going to be interesting for me. I have often observed differences in number attributes when relating them to Numerology, Tarot and Astrology. Each system has its own spin or view of what a number is. Dave
