Ta – Week 5 Log

  • 16 hours reading – The Way of Tarot (A. Jodorowsky), The Castle of Crossed Destinies (Italo Calvino), The Mirror and the Mask, The Garden of Forking Paths (L. Borges), Creative Processes in Gestalt Therapy (J. Zinker), The Forge and the Crucible (M.

  • 2 hours lecture & notes – Inna Semetsky (innasense.org)
  • 4 hours note taking & review
  • 8 hours familiarization – Finally received Tarot De Marseilles (Camoin & Jodorowsky) in the mail from France. Spent this time imprinting the imagery on my unconscious via various methods of associative experimentation (i.e. sleeping with a card under my pillow, carrying one in my back pocket, arranging a music performance based on assigned arcana and their correlative numerical progression), practice reads on friends.
  • 2 hours organization – Indexed all of the books that I am reading in order that I may tie a thread between a vast spectrum of knowledge. Note organization for cohesion of ideas & hypothesis regarding the use of Tarot.
  • 6 hours writing poetry and Bachelardian reverie.

Total – 38 hours
