description: The Fool and trumps in The Alchemical Tarot each relate to an alchemical process which is part of the Great Work of alchemy that leads to the creation of the Philosopher s Stone a mystical catalyst that transforms what it touches to its highest form. It can cure any illness turn lead into gold and turn an ordinary person into an enlightened sage. The Stone is represented symbolically by the World card. The four minor suits are related to the four elements of the alchemists: earth air fire and water and in The Alchemical Tarot each of these elements is related to one of the four functions of consciousness as listed by Jung: sensation thinking feeling and intuition respectively.
