Tarot The Handbook for the Journeyman (Connolly Tarot, Vol 2)

Tarot The Handbook for the Journeyman (Connolly Tarot, Vol 2)

INTRODUCTION

Our work now begins at the Journeyman level. An Apprentice is a beginner, someone who is prepared to learn a skill or craft. Upon reaching a certain level of competence, the Apprentice becomes a Journeyman. He has served his apprenticeship and is now qualified to work at his skill or trade.

Once the Journeyman begins to work and practice his skill, he then develops his craft. It is during this period of persistence and application of study that the Journeyman begins to experience the desire to perfect his skill. When he has done so, he will have earned the title of Master.

The next volume in this series will be for the Tarot Master. You will learn to coordinate your studies between the Apprentice and Journeyman levels in this volume, so that you will be ready to go on to the highest stage. I would like you to feel that once again I am teaching you personally, so that the Journeyman Handbook becomes not only a source of learning but a friend you can relate to on a very personal level.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to teachers, students and readers all over the world who have found my first book useful. I hope you will find the present volume equally helpful in your study of Tarot.
