Foreword WisdomTarot

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:29:23 GMT

Paeans of acclaim greet this book on tarot. It is written out of a full awareness of life, with a profound imaginative insight which sees the ever-renewing pattern of immediate experience - a rose, a tree in blossom, a bird - with such a sense of vitality, such all-embracing penetration, and plumbs the soul so deeply that the experiencing mind catches the eternal in what is transient and grasps within the configurations of space the presence of some moulding force transcending all spatial...

SINCE the Phoenicians carried their alphabet to the great centers of civilization in the ancient world, most of the symbols have undergone many alterations. To this rule, however, Heth, the eighth letter, is a notable exception. In the oldest records it consists of two uprights, joined by either two or three cross-bars. The character used in Greek inscriptions found at Thera, and in one of the earliest Latin alphabets, is composed of two rectangles, one above the other. A variation of the...

Count Cagliostro tried to establish Egyptian Masonry in England. He had, however, many enemies and established two thrones. Giovanni Papini met Count Cagliostro on board a boat. They became friends and Cagliostro told him who he was. He wanted to avert the Second World War, but as no-one took any notice of him, he went once again to Tibet, saying...

Tiphereth KabbalahTarot

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 21:54:50 GMT

Tiphereth is the Husband of the Wife, the Superior Manas of Oriental Theosophy, which is none other than the Human Soul, the Causal. It is that Soul which suffers, and which forms the very human part in us. We must distinguish between that which is the Human Soul and Tiphereth itself. It is very easy to confuse Tiphereth with the Causal. The Causal Body serves as the vehicle of Tiphereth. Some kabalists expect that the world of Tiphereth, the world of the Human Soul, or correctly said, the...

There is only one known, published, reference to the origin of the Golden Dawn Tarot. This appears in the 1945 autobiography of Irish artist and poet, Ella Young. In the book, Flowering Dusk she describes a visit to the home of the Mathers, having been brought there by Maud Gonne, a member of the Order. Maud Gonne had herself been brought into the group by William Butler Yeats, who courted her unsuccessfully for many years. Ella Young describes having been attracted to some large illustrations...

Applications Of The Sepher Yetzirah KabbalahTarot

Sun, 20 Mar 2011 12:12:36 GMT

As has been indicated, the Tarot is usually related to the Sepher Yetzirah or Book of Formation. This brief, but major, document of esoteric cosmology purports to demonstrate the rational framework and course of creation of our Universe. Yet, as with all truly enlightened works, it is not intended to be read it must, rather, be used as a stimulus to meditation. The Sepher Yetzirah uses the symbolism of highly abstract words to describe those energies which the Tarot describes in pictures, the...

Unlike the greater trumps of the Major Arcana, the four suits of the Minor Arcana do not take on any Vertigo characters. At the first meetings to plan the deck held in a Manhattan hotel suite , the group decided that assigning a particular scene or character to each of the fifty-six cards would only restrict Dave McKean's concepts and imagination. So here, in these stylized images, we are seeing the pure vision of a remarkable artist. At the same time, the four suits still reflect the...

The Spread LearningTarot

Sat, 19 Mar 2011 06:19:31 GMT

A spread is a preset pattern for laying out the tarot cards. It defines how many cards to use, where each one goes, and what each one means. A spread is a template guiding the placement of the cards so they can shed light on a given topic. It is within this template that the meanings of the cards come together so beautifully. The most important feature of a spread is the fact that each position has a unique meaning that colors the interpretation of whatever card falls in that spot. For example,...

Every day of our lives, our minds receive thousands of bits of information and impressions, all of which are stored away in mental cubbyholes, some for future use, some to be forgotten forever. But they are all there, with more being added all the time. This becomes quite a mental clutter, unless we can develop the concentration to retrieve only what we need when we need it. This is particularly true of the Tarotologist, for you must not only be able to recall bits of data facts and information...

ARCANUM NUMBER Aku KabbalahTarot

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 02:22:26 GMT

Arcanum number 15 is the pluralised I, which esoterically is called Satan. Arcanum number 15 represents Passion which is based in the Luciferic Fire. It is necessary to know that the principal defect issexual passion, lust. In the kabalistic synthesis of Arcanum 15 we have 1 5 6, the 6 is sex. This means that sex is the major force which can liberate man, but is also the major force which can enslave him. Arcanum 15 signifies the work with the demon the process of dissolution of the I.

Thus in Geburah we find the rigour of the Law, but we also find the nobility of the Lion, therefore the Intuitional Buddhic world is...

Qabalistic numerology is called Gematria. This involves nothing more than taking the numerical value of each Hebrew letter in a word, and adding those values together. Theoretically, words of the same total value bear some conceptual relationship, although the principle can be taken to absurd extremes. Gematria can be a petty trap. The interrelationship of numbers and letters often, however, points to some profound ideas. For example, we have considered the reinteraction of Chokmah and Binah,...
