summary of the archetypal story

This is a very brief summary of the Archetypal Story, using the 22 Tarot Trumps. The Archetypal Story is an allegory of conscious development. I explore this subject in greater detail in my books "The Archetype of Reality" and "Self-knowledge."

hhmm.. thank you. i mean, is there a reason for this order to be different from the traditional, and the thoth?

[michaelwbennett]

My arrangement of the Trumps reflects my understanding of how the Trumps illustrate stages of conscious development. There is a logical necessity to the sequence. My book "The Archetype of Reality" expands on the significance of that logic.

[revnazaright]

what order are these presented?

[michaelwbennett]

The first twelve Trumps: I. THE FOOL II. THE PRIESTESS III. THE MAGICIAN IV. THE EMPRESS V. THE EMPEROR VI. THE HIEROPHANT VII. THE CHARIOT VIII. THE LOVERS IX. JUSTICE X. THE HERMIT XI. STRENGTH XII. THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

The "second half" of the adventure: XIII. THE HANGED MAN XIV. DEATH XV. TEMPERANCE XVI. THE DEVIL XVII. THE HOUSE OF GOD XVIII. THE STAR XIX. THE MOON XX. THE SUN XXI. JUDGMENT XXII. THE WORLD

Thank you very much for summing it up too.

If you had to find 26 archetypes and associate them to the letters of the alpabeth, how would you do that? I'm looking for an arbitrary mind-map-tool related to the abc and maybe way letter are written...to construct stories with.

Very interesting. I began at the indvidual numbered chapter, got to 19 and there was no 20-22. So, it was good that this summation was included. A job well done.
