didn't offer that much new info on the symbols, but lots of meditative exercises where you figure out what they mean for you. every day i spent some time with a symbol and sometimes ascended into clouds and found a castle and went inside and searched for a box that held a key that opened a door to a perfect garden and what is a perfect garden to you? or walked the moon path and climbed up one of the towers and looked around. i am not at all a person that can rotate a 3D apple in their head but it was nice to practice using my imagination. plus there were lots of spreads to try that were meant to help you internalize the symbol meanings, which were hit or miss but also fun practice
also the author's voice was very cute to me. it was kind of clunky but very familiar "Okay so this lesson is going to be a little different than the last one."
all in all i learned kind of shockingly little about the individual symbols but did develop more of a personal relationship with them & had a very pleasant month or so reading this every morning.
