The Book of Life
In the book of life, the answers aren’t in the back.
—Charlie Brown
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I
will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his
name before my Father, and before his angels.
—Revelation 3:5
This chapter is a summary of the archetypal meanings and alchemical re-
lationships of each of the major arcana.
Archetype
The archetype of a card is its individual essence, energy and form and is
composed of several elements.
Energy. This is the card’s energetic orientation: feminine (receptive, cre-
ative) or masculine (active, conceptive).
Number. This is the card’s medicine, gift or archetypal healing power in
the Twenty Count.
Type. This is the aspect (emotional, physical, mental or spiritual) of the
card’s psychological type (feeling, sensation, thinking or intuition).
Light. This is a description of the light side of the archetype.
Shadow. This is a description of the dark side of the archetype. “Dark”
here is not a moral judgement but means whatever is unconscious (that is,
what is in the shadows and not illuminated by, and acceptable to, conscious-
ness) or whatever is opposite to the light side of the archetype. Everything
contains its opposite which will jump up and live sometime, somewhere.
432
Alchemy
The alchemy of a card tells you about its relationships with other cards,
where it has come from and what it will become.
Medicine. This is the summary statement of the card's Shield, Mood and
Movement.
Keeper, Holder and Teacher. These describe what Shield it Keeps, what
Mood it Holds and what Movement it Teaches.
Awakener, Dreamer and Completer. These describes its energetic rela-
tionships according to the Zero to Nine Law (Chapter 9).
In a reading, the alchemy will suggest linkages with cards in other posi-
tions in the reading.
The alchemy does not apply to the 0 and 1 cards (the Fool and the Sor-
cerer) as they sit outside the matrix of the other 20 cards. They contain, and
are contained by, all the other cards so their alchemy is undifferentiated.
All subsequent cards are energetic transformations of the original 0 and 1.
I have left blank the alchemy of some of the cards so that the reader may
add their own interpretations.
Although this book does not cover the advanced alchemy of the cards I
have added the higher alchemical name for each card.

The Priestess as the Heart of the Child Substance Shield uses the Mood of Emo-

wounds and our vulnerabilities. She recognises the need for love and acceptance
from peers and parents.

pity, and sees the hidden potential of things. She engenders emotional hope from
seeing the gold hidden in the heart.

light and the dark within, our dark and light shadow, our dividedness. Her con-
sciousness of present feelings allows resolution of past wounds.
