The Way of Tarot by Alejandro Jodorowsky, book review

Alejandro Jodorowsky - The Way of Tarot - 2009I heard lot of good things about Alejandro Jodorowsky’s book on Tarot, then I read a couple of positive comments on different Tarot forums and specific social media groups. Finally, I stumbled across a quite interesting book synopsis which determined to read the book.
I have to admit, I had quite high expectations, and somewhat I was pretty disappointed. I will explain.

Etz Chayim - Tree of life

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”

(Proverbs 3: 13-18, New International Version)

Truth
From human perspective, the ‘truth’ is permanently relative and variable. From personal perspective, there are always three ‘kind’ of truths: mine, yours and her/his. The first two are always subjective, while the third, supposedly, should be objective, respectively neuter. From universal and esoteric perspective, there is only one truth, most probably, out of our reach.
