Each archetype of tarot represents a piece of who we each are. When you understand these pieces, you understand yourself and others as well.
Summary
Every tarot card represents a piece of who we all are. Think about it; how is it that cards always seem to resonate with us somehow? It’s because we are the archetypes, all 78 of them. Each is a piece of us.
There is the piece of us that is the Fool, willing to take a leap of faith and hope for the best. There is the piece of us that is the Devil, still dealing with shadows from the past. There is the Seven of Pentacles piece of us that must find patience to let things happen in the time they take to happen. There is the Three of Cups piece of us that desires to celebrate and share good times with others. The list of pieces goes on.
To understand each card is to understand our selves on a deep level. It is to know what thrills us, repels us, turns us on, and turns us off. It is to know what triggers us, inspires us, and captivates us. There is a universality to the archetypes. What we discover within our self, we will see reflected in others. In this, our oneness is illuminated.

It goes far beyond the surface meaning of each tarot card into deep, soul level understandings. It is for when you are ready to truly know who you are.

Summary
Spoony is a kid with a heart of gold. He loves hugs, he loves affection, and he values friendship and family. But there is something about him that isn’t quite right. He can’t kick a ball, he can’t play Duck Duck Goose, and he confuses regular people for clowns. Not to mention, he thinks a fictitious character on an old TV show is his dad, and he just has a general way of ruining things for other people while remaining blissfully unaware. His mom isn’t much better. Embarrassed by the drunken one-night stand that created Spoony, she has perpetrated numerous lies to save face and avoid humiliation over the truth that Spoony’s real father is the lanky Burt Peppermill, and that an overindulgence of lime flavored Jell-O shooters at a frat party led her to lower her standards enough to let him touch her in that way. All her lies, however, come crashing down on them both the day Spoony finally kicks a ball in P.E. class resulting in a trip to the emergency room where a number of surprises await. The Chronicles of Spoony vols. 1-3 offer delightfully dark reminders of how our words and actions around children shape their beliefs and effect their lives in profound and often invisible ways.
