There are three major components to this book: the histories and biographies of the creators, a detailed breakdown of each card (which is sometimes simply Waite's text from the Pictorial Key, and sometimes includes additional information), and some information on Waite's strategies for reading, supplemented by material that belonged to a secret order at the time he published but which is available now. I focused on the first two parts in this reading; I might go back to the third in the future, but I'm just not as kabbalistic as Waite and so those correspondences are less interesting to me. ( )
