Hope that helps and enjoy your tarot journey.

Thanks for the response.

and Ok, good! just wanted to ensure I was on the right path.
and I agree with your take in Key 0 being the untapped/untainted essence.

question,
the 'use' of these elements relates to both literal(Magic) and metaphorical(use of the elements in mind/thought/action)? or is this speaking literally of using the elements?

while asking this question, I get the feeling that it is dependent upon the individual as to How they learn to use them (when it says "...the four magic symbols that he will have to learn to use."), would I be correct in that assumption?
