Re: i read that article

having done the shadow work already with just the majors, and followed the book.
i highly suggest any shadow work you do should have just the majors arcanas first. for a number of reasons.
I agree with Holmes.
I used the majors in the shadow work exercise before being aware of the Jette's subsequent article on Tarot Passages and I'm glad that I did.
I am a comparative newcomer as well, and the major cards are very simple and powerful. They revealed a great deal and it was probably as much as I could usefully handle at that time.
On a very practical level, I pasted the images of my cards into a Word document in the form of the Star and put the document in my journal. I've needed to go back to the images and my notes from time to time and this makes it a lot easier. I also wrote my individual responses to each card alongside a copy of the scanned image of the card and this also has been helpful with reflection.
I used the Morgan Greer and the images are easily available on the Orphalese site, along with various other decks.
