SKT Study Group Reorganised (Spirit Keeper's Tarot)

[Joan Marie]

I've realised that the way I had originally organised the study group was not serving the deck or the group well.

So I've organised it now more along the lines of the way it is outlined in The Book of Maps:

I chose The Order of Ascent.
I hope this makes the study group more usable for everyone and I can't wait to see some great discussion s start up about the enigmatic deck.

Question: I think there must be a typo (pp. 48-49) in the Book of Maps. The minor Arcana is divided into 2 sections, Upper Realms (Aces, 2's & 3's) and Lower Realms (4's thru 10's) but the book calls them "The Seven Lower Realms" (correct) and "The Seven Upper Realms."

Shouldn't it be "The Three Upper Realms?"

Or am I missing something? (I went with 3 in the forum as you can see, but'I'll change it if I'm wrong.)

So, of course I was wrong. I found a clearer explanation in the LWB, apparently the court cards are part of the Upper Realms. So there are Seven.

I made the correction.

Was just about to say that. From the little I've read (I've been swamped with other things), the order is from aces-courts, then 4-10. I believe the deck arrived in that order as well.
