Wherein Lies the Power of the Archetypes?

[Unbound]

As for spiritual and material gains, that all comes down to perception I suppose. I would call a spiritual gain a harmonization within the self, the progress of the process of balancing. I would call a material gain the obtaining of worldly experiences in relation to the environment of the planet.

I did not say one could not gain materially and also gain spiritually, or vice versa, only that I distinguish between the two in terms of perceptual experience.

The Tree of Life has a left-hand, right-hand thing going for it with twenty-two rails going through them. The archetypes try to build that into each card.

My Tarot deck actually has paths of the Tree of Life matched and part of the image of each of the major arcana. It is not a matter of cutting out or forgetting the other parts of the tree, but simply a matter of focus.
