In this episode we lay some of the ideological foundations of the deck. At the end I give a birds eye view of the major arcana through a poem that tracks the transformation of their traditional names to their new ones in this deck. A written copy of the poem is included below, with all card titles, new and old, capitalized. The Fool has been the Wonderer, shy of the prying eye and, free of shame, leaps The Magician, shedding pretense, becomes the Shaper who molds us through practiceThe High Priestess, cast aside for guarding too closely the veil beyond which our Ancestors lieThe Empress, once decomposed, releveals to us the inherent Abundance of the worldThe Emperor, only bones, is fossilized deep within the mountain of Embodiment We turn away from the hierarchy of the Hierophant towards knowing through ReflectionLovers dissolve into Lovers The Chariot into Chrysalis, that carries us on a wind Into the awakening of Justice we open our eyesThe Seeker might travel further than the Hermit could into the dark of the selfInto The Eye Of The Storm where we find refuge from The Wheel Of Fortune From there emerges a Strength capable of holding a storm The Hanged One becomes Rootedto the earth which holds us tenderly through Death Whose dissolution carries us past Temperance and into The River. Whose flow runs beyond the Devil into Revolution and Evolution Change sweeps us into the Storm which has toppled the tower and built mountains The Star, shining, offers an elusive healing The Moon carries us through tides of change, hardening the armor that protects And we return to the Sun a child againOver the ruckus of Judgment we hear the Call, our CallThat leads us home, safe in the womb of the World to grow To see ourself, the Patternist.
