The Fool's Journey Through the Tarot Swords

By: Noel Eastwood

Narrated by: Jonathan Johns

Book 3 - The Fool’s Journey Series

Noel Eastwood’s unique blend of rollicking good storytelling and the wisdom of the Tarot continues.

Follin, and his wife, Eve, have completed their lessons in the pragmatic Pentacles Kingdom and are on their way to study the lessons of the intellectual Swords. During their trek through the dark forests and sweeping grassy plains of the Swords Kingdom, the lovers confront the Swords lessons of stress, grief, and lack of clarity, as they strive to negotiate life’s challenges.

Adopting a narrative approach, Noel demonstrates how he uses the imagery and metaphors of tarot in his meditations and readings.

Originally written for Tarot practitioners Noel’s Fool’s Journey Series has found a broader audience in those interested in personal growth. Through Follin we come to respect, and delight in, The Fool in all of us.

Feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be

I had high hopes for this title, thinking it might be an insightful exploration of the tarot swords. It turned out to be far more narrative-intensive and I couldn't quite get into it as a work of fiction. I abandoned the title after an hour on my first listen and then a few weeks later got bumped back into it as a "last unfinished book" after completing something else. It took a few minutes before I remembered what title it must be and then I listened to it for quite some time wondering if a different recording had mistakenly been associated with the listing. Fans of fantasy genres may enjoy this for the story but I guess I was looking for something with more meat on its bones.

The narrator provided a lively reading, if a bit hurried.
