I use the Camoin Method, to which Jodo alludes in his book.
The bits I've gotten off the Camoin site have all been very good. I wish he'd offer a correspondence course in english, or at least write a book. This whole distant-seminars-in-french is impossible for most of us out here! What with this kind of thing and the fact that the TdM requires actual
thought and
study, we TdM people have been branded "elitist", lol. I would think that the Golden Dawn based Tarot people would be the elitist ones, since the HOGD was a Sooper Sekrit Majickal Order For The Very Wealthy, while the TdM has always been intended for the common man.

That's why I love it, I can see little digs at authority all over it. Or maybe it's just reflecting my own views back to me, it tends to do things like that.
Jodo's reading style is very poetic and very much in line with his general response to the world as an artist and film maker. I think the methods complement one another, because poetry, pun, symbolism, and relationship of cards with each other is certainly evident in both reading methods.
I really,
really need to study Camoin. Can't think of a way right now, but to learn french and stow away on a ship!
