Astraea
I wasn't much taken with the section on the trumps, either, except in terms of her emphasis on following visual cues (as you say, gaze and implements, etc.) to arrive at a narrative.Interesting. I found the section on the Trumps kind of half-baked (although I did find her explanation for the Emperor one of the more useful ones I've seen). I also liked her idea of the elements (figures, implements, etc.) of one card carrying over into subsequent cards, linking them together while also having developmental significance. I've already been using her ideas of embodiment, gesture and gaze with my non-TdM decks, just under different descriptive terms.
I noticed that, too. But she might not be aware of the Wayback Machine.She does lead the reader into thinking Jackson's website is defunct.
Overall, I think Elias' book is worth having in the library. It needed a good editor and proofreader, as you noted in your initial review, but there are nice tidbits and some intriguing points of view in it.
