History

Around the year 1775, Court de Gebelin was at a reception, where he find the guests playing the game of Tarot After observing the game for a short time, he suddenly de­clared to everyone present that the card images were allegorical, and furthermore that they had originated in ancient Egypt Court de Gebelin found not only an Egyptian origin for the Tarot, but also a Hebrew connection.

Eliphas Levi and other occultists ex­panded on this Hebrew source by finding in the structure of the Tarot numerous aspects of the Jewish system of esoteric philosophy known as the Kabbalah.

The influence of the Golden Dawn brings us to the present, since it is the system of the Golden Dawn, somewhat modified by mem­bers of that Order such as Aleister Crowley and Arthur Edward Waite who disseminated it throughout the world, that is predominant in modem Western esotericism.

Tarot symbolism is as actual today as it was a centuries ago.

The Holy Ghost-Fool-Knight-Errant. Folly’s Doom is Ruin.

TITLE OF TAROT TRUMP The Spirit of Ether

The Eleventh Path is the Scintillating Intelligence, because it is the essence of that curtain which is placed close to the order of the disposition, and this is a special dignity given to it that it may be able to stand before the Face of the Cause of Causes. Sepher Yetzirah

The Face of the Cause of Causes is the fount or all creation in Kether, which is why the Spiritual Experience of Chok- mah is the Vision of God face to face.

The 11th Path, like all the Paths, can be passed two ways. Its ascent is the final approach to Union with God - leading to manifest dissolution. Its descent is the first section of the Descent of Power sym­bolised Kabbalistically by the Lightning Flash. It thus represents first beginnings. The Tarot Trump is called The Fool and is perhaps the profoundest symbol of the whole Tarot Communication, ease in rela­tionships are quite characteristic of The Fool.

Meaning:

Thought. Ideas. Spirituality. Idealism.

Foolishness. Eccentricity. Insanity

TITLE OF TAROT TRUMP

The Magus of Power

The Twelfth Path is the Intelligence of Transpar­ency, because it is that species of Magnificence called Chazchazit, the place whence issues the vision of those seeing in apparitions. (That is the prophecies by seers in a vision.) Sepher Yetzirah This letter is associated with the Tarot Card of the Magician. The traditional picture of the Card illustrates this best Traditionally, there is an Infinity Sym­bol over his head. This indicates that he is very close to Kether. Distinctions be­tween structural elements are very subtle at higher levels of the Sephiroth Tree.

Aleph is the first letter of the alphabet, but Beth is the first letter of the Bible which starts with the word Bereshit - “at the beginning”.

Meaning:

Proficiency. Wisdom. Adaptation.

Skillfulness. Cunning.

The Priestess of the Silver Star

The Thirteenth Path is named the Uniting Intelli­gence, and is so called because it is itself the Essence of Glory. It is the Consummation of the Truth of individual spiritual things. Sepher Yetzirah

The Yetziratic Text of this Path gives the whole basis of spiritual reality in a nut­shell - Unity equals the Essence of Glory equals Truth.

High Priestess is referred to the letter Gimel. One of its meanings is Camel. A camel can cross a desert while Gimel, connecting the Sephiroth Kether and Tiphareth, goes through an Abyss.

The High Priestess is traditionally asso­ciated with the concepts of fertility.

Meaning:

The Fourteenth Path is the Illuminating Intelli­gence and is so called because it is that Chashmal . which is the founder of the concealed and fun­damental ideas of holiness and of their stages of preparation. Sepher Yetzirah

The Path of The Empress connects Binah and Chokmah. As such, it is the mediating Path of the Supreme Spiritual Self. It is the Path of unity of the Father and Mother, the Path on which their in­teraction occurs.

The main idea of the letter Daleth is that ; of the Door. In connection with The Em- \ press card, we perceive the door as the \ gate between the Heavenly and Mortal \ (the higher spiritual and lower material) worlds.

The Path of He is called the Constituting Intelligence, meaning that it assists in the building up of the Light of Tiphareth from the utter darkness of the Supernal Triangle, as rational genetic structure directs the rising of the plant from the intense darkness of the Earth.

The meaning of the letter He is the Win­dow. The window unites and separates the internal and the external at the same time.

The Path of Vau, leads from Chokmah to Chesed and is the uppermost Path on the Pillar of Mercy. It is described in the Golden Dawn documents as “The Zodiac acting through Taurus upon Jupiter”.

The sixth letter Vau means a Nail. It is the nail that is hammered to fix the Spirit to the cross of Matter. Vau unites the oppo­sites. Vau is one of the channels connect­ing the Heavenly and the Lower worlds.

The Path of Zain, The Lovers, between Binah and Tiphareth, connects the pure consciousness from which form emerged with the central point of all manifestation. The meaning of the letter Zain is Sword which may first seem poorly correlated with The Lovers card. But it is not an or­dinary sword, it is sheathed and resting. The card suggests very peaceful pastime. But the sword has another property: the power to divide.

Meaning:

Inspiration. Motivation. Active power.

The Eighteenth Path is called the Intelligence or House of Influence (by the greatness of whose abundance the influx of good things upon created beings is increased), and from its midst the arcana and hidden senses are drawn forth, which dwell in its shade and. which cling to it, from the Cause of all causes. Sepher Yetzirah

The Eighteenth Path runs between Binah and Geburah. It is the highest and, thus, the most profound Path on the Pillar of Severity.

The symbol of the letter Cheth is the Fence which separates the inner and the outer, the form and the content. The Chariot can be considered the first inter­im result on the way from Aleph to Tav, from Fool to World.

At this level on the Tree of Life, and above we learn primarily by meditation on the inter-relationship of symbols, in which great profundities are secretly im­bedded. The Nineteenth Path is the out­pouring of energy from Chesed to Gebu- rah in the process of manifestation. Serpent is the symbol of the letter Teth. The Serpent sheds its skin when regen­erating. Similarly, a human regenerates by rejecting all that is outdated and un­necessary, and preserving the strength and wisdom.

The Pat h ofYod, connects Tiphare th and Chcsed. Chesed represents (he first manifestation of the being in sub-spiri­tual existence and thus holds within it­self the purest image of what the Spirit should be in its manifestation as a hu­man being in Earth.

The Path of Kaph, the Wheel Of For­tune, runs from Chesed to Netzach. It is the connecting Path between the Person­ality and the Higher Self on the Pillar of Mercy under Chokmah.

The letter Kaph represents the Palm. Kaph is associated with movement of energy. Kaph, just like the Wheel of Fortune card, combines the concepts of movement and immobility, statics and dynamics, prog­ress and traditions in a paradoxical way.

Meaning:

Happiness and good luck. Exhilaration of success.

The Twenty-second Path is the Faithful Intelli­gence, and is so called because by it spiritual virtues are increased, and all dwellers on earth are nearly under its shadow. Sepher Yetzirah

Lamed means Ox goad, the spear-like prod which keeps the ox moving down the road. In the card, the goad is correlat­ed to a sword used by the divine power to drive humans making them proceed the right way. Just like a goad that does not let an ox go off the route, the sword cuts off everything which is not important in order to get things right This is a Path where whatever is necessary is done to bring the organism into equilibrium, a process which, as the symbol of the sword suggests, is not always pleasant.

This card represents the element of Water. It would perhaps be better to say that it represents the spiritual function of water. The letter Mem, like almost all the thir­teenth letters in different alphabets, is associated with the concept of death. But here the death is viewed not only and not so much as a physical phenomenon, but rather as a transition, the beginning of a transformation.

In terms of the individual man, the Path of Nun is the Path on which the Higher Self directs the Personality “downward” into incarnation. Here the temporary and illusory nature of the Personality is correctly self-perceived. The Personality undergoes a willful “death,” surrender­ing everything that it believes itself to be. The letter Nun is associated with the Fish symbol. Fish inhabit deep waters. Danger and menace are hidden in the deep.

Meaning:

The Path Samekh is a Path of trial and temptation, called the Intelligence of Probation.

The letter Samekh has several symbolic reflections of which the main one is Prop', a thing connecting two different objects but does not become a part of any of them. Temperance represents balance, the per­fect harmony that comes from the union of dualities. This card indicates that you are truly in touch with who you are in­side.

The Devil card corresponds to the letter Ayin and its symbol is Eye. It is the ability to see inherited by us from our remote ancestors, the greatest gift and the great­est curse at the same time. Much more often we either do not see at all or are not able to perceive what we see.

Sepher Yetzirah The Path of Tzaddi is a very powerful Path which points out the way in which the Divine Energy inherent in each indi­vidual is properly approached.

The symbol is Fish hook. The fish hook is a tool that makes creatures inhabiting some environment suddenly find themselves in another surrounding.

As is stated in the Yetziratic Text, this Path has much to do with the physical body. It is a Path in which mind plays lit­tle part. The fact of our biological physi­cal roots is one of the things which has to be faced on the 29th Path.

We can use the Tarot as an instrument of fortune telling or as a source of sym­bolism suitable for meditation, a deck of Tarot cards contains everything you need to use it as complete and effec­tive system of ritual magic. Everything is done through the symbolism of the cards, in accord with the successful sys­tem of occult and esoteric correspon­dences developed by the Hermetic Or­der of the Golden Dawn.

The Tarot is a symbolic model of the uni­verse. Nothing external to it is required. The cards act to focus and project the power of the mind.

Even those who use the Tarot only for fortune telling and have no interest in practical magic could find the explana­tions for the Golden Dawn Tarot cor­respondences and their origins more illuminating than any treatment of this subject that has previously appeared.
