Prior to reading:I would recommend reading a book about Tarot (such as [b:The Complete Illustrated Guide to Tarot 680918 Complete Illustrated Guide to Tarot Rachel Pollack http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177099374s/680918.jpg 667311] and then [b:The Book of Thoth 243001 The Book of Thoth A Short Essay on the Tarot of the Egyptians (Equinox III 5) Aleister Crowley http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173059843s/243001.jpg 836251] (companion to the Thoth Tarot). Also watch the Alan Moore documentary. I cannot help but think that he was in the middle of writing Promethea while being interviewed. The story (particularly in later volumes) will make a lot more sense and there will be a lot to pick up on, both in the writing and the illustrations.
