Nature’s nature

Nockwood a framework for almost everything.

I’ve always talked about the discovery of the Nockwood cards as an exploration of human behavior. The archetypes were designed to provide a framework for understanding and discussing behaviors of both brands and individuals. They are incredibly useful for this, but since their inception they’ve evolved to be much more. As I’ve uncovered layers and layers of meaning and significance, I now believe they provide a framework for knowing and navigating almost everything. A huge claim, but read on and I’ll hopefully explain why I think that is the case.

(If you want to learn more about these layers you can see the discussions here:The most popular and most comprehensive discussions of broader meaning are these two posts: “Musings on meaning” and “What does it all mean”).

Revisiting ancient wisdoms.

The journey into human behaviors keeps dragging me back to ancient wisdoms that have been overlooked or ignored in recent times. These include the wisdoms of the Alchemists, Gnostics and aboriginal and native American cultures.
