I stumbled across "Tarot Revelations", by Joseph Campbell and Richard Roberts, at my local bookstore and picked it up. It's an old-school book and ultimately too advanced for me (Roberts goes into some heavy alchemical, numerological and astrological stuff that I'll need more background for before tackling), but there's a 17-page chapter right at the beginning by Campbell that examines the Marseilles Major Arcana and puts them in a tiered arrangement that was a *total* revelation for me - wow, I had an "aha" moment the size of Texas! Would definitely recommend that book based on this short chapter alone. Joseph Campbell is a force of nature. Roberts' exploration was, however, the final impetus I needed to push me over the edge of getting a 'real deal' RWS deck. Too much in the original imagery to be lost with a clone deck, so there you are.
Anyone else read this book? Thoughts? There's a lot in here.
