look at the snowy mountains in background of the fool's card. those mountains are the snowy tops where the hermit will climb up to when he goes in his inner journey.
I see your point. But I dont understand the Fool's journey that way. To me the Fool interacts with all the Majors, but does not become them.TemperanceAngel said:The Fool does become the Hermit, but if you start at the beginning (the Fool's Journey) we find that when the Fool jumps off the cliff in his "leap of faith" and when lands he has become the Magician.

When Wait guided Smith in illustrating these cards he had her incorproate many esoteric symbols. This is why I value these cards. They were not a get rich quick scheme, like many publishers today. These cards have true meaning, hold centuries of knowledge that the Golden Dawn studied.
