The Waite - Smith deck is the one I'm currently using as I'm just learning tarot. I'm also Master Craftsman to a Brother preparing for his FC proficiency. So I thank you for bringing this up!

Thanks! I'm pleased that you found some value in it! I hope that you are enjoying your explorations of the Tarot. I find the Waite-Smith perfect for me, even after all of these decades. Although I do seem to have amassed a pretty massive collection of decks over time, I always return to the Waite-Smith.

Wow so fascinating! I have long wondered what the B and the J stand for! Soooo interesting that the third pillar could be a person, but who? 🤔

Im fascinated by this subject and just found your substack. As I understand it the third pillar is Mankind on the path of initiation back to Kether. (God) The Neophyte is initiated on the Hero’s journey but wide is the path and narrow is the gate. In the Kabbala Sephiroth Jachin, has its foundation on Chochmah, which is the outpouring of God’s Wisdom. ( Son) Boaz has its foundations in Binah who is the Holy Spirit and the feminine face of God. It is also acknowledged that the three pillars ( the holy trinity) Father Son & Holy Spirit and they are ultimately united in Malchuth ( Earth) in which all the powers of the superior worlds are manifested. On Earth as it is in heaven. As above so below etc. 🙏🏻
