I just picked up this book today at the used bookstore.
It's by Micheline Stuart and was originally published by Shambala in 1977.
What I'm finding so fascinating with it is that the author starts The Fool's Journey with 0 The Fool (yes, we can agree that's where it generally starts).
But the next card to read on the "ladder of development" is XXI The World and goes UP to I The Magician, "the seeker transformed."
Using the Marseilles deck to illustrate the Majors, the author describes what each major symbolizes from a spiritual/personal development perspective, no card meanings referred to at all. This is another point that attracted me to the content of this book.
I'm finding the reverse chronological reading of the majors really fascinating and it's actually informing a lot of the cards I was previously struggling with.
Anybody else a fan of this book?
