Some very interesting notions spun out of an email from Mike, one of our students, in the wake of our final Tarot Toolkit class. We’d been talking about the theory that The High Priestess can be seen as a “gateway” card — that is, if she grants you leave to step through the gateway represented by her pomegranate curtains, you may find yourself in the landscape of the Moon card. Mike put forth the very keen question of whether other Major cards might act similarly as “gateway cards,” and if so, which ones, and to which other cards…? I feel a series of related posts brewing now…
I’ll be interested to see what you have to say on this!
Thanks, Jack! I’m letting the ideas percolate, but I’ll be back with some conclusions soon-ish. Thanks in advance for taking a look!
