Dowson has also provided clear symbols in his card designs which help the student correlate these astrological correspondences each time he or she reads the cards. This is an amazing book with so many mind-blowing insights and observations of subtle realms by a Christian contemplative and mystic, Valentin Tomberg, who delves into the "archetypes" of human experience using the major arcana of the Tarot. This was followed by translation into German ( Die großen Arcana des Tarot : Meditationen, ISBN 978-3906371054).

Beginning from a background in Western European thought, he quickly expands his pool of reference to include comparative religious studies from a variety of cultures worldwide, and seems to find a broad understanding attempting to accommodate all of them. It took me over a decade to get through this book, with many false starts, interruptions of life, and a need to learn how to read better and be more clear in thought.This book is a hermeneutic exploration of each of those relationships as they form an open but combinatory system for understanding who we are and how we are in the world.

The Courts in this deck are stunning, and once again are directly inspired by the Golden Dawn tradition (which is to say that they resemble the Thoth more closely than the RWS).
