++Let us start seeing the existing relationship of the 10 Sephiroth with the first 10 cards of the Tarot.
The seven planets of the solar system are the seven Sephiroth. And the Thrice-Spiritual Sun is the Sephirothic Crown.
These Sephiroth live and palpitate within our Consciousness and we must learn to manipulate and combine them in the marvelous laboratory of our interior universe.
The Ten Sephiroth are:
Kether – Crown; The equilibrated power; the magician, the first Arcanum of the Tarot whose primeval hieroglyph is represented by a man.
Chokmah – Wisdom; the Popess of the Tarot; occult wisdom, the Priestess. The second card of the Tarot; the moon, primeval hieroglyph is represented by the mouth of man.
Binah – Intelligence; the planet Venus; third card of the Tarot, the Empress, primeval hieroglyph is represented by a hand in the attitude of grasping.
These three Sephiroth are the Sephirothic Crown.
The other seven inferior Sephiroth come in the following order:
Chesed – Mercy; Jupiter, the Divine Being, Atman, primeval hieroglyph is represented by a breast. The four card of the Tarot, the Emperor.
Geburah – Severity; the Buddhic body of the Man, the Pope or the Hierophant of the Tarot, Mars, the warrior of Aries.
Tiphereth – Beauty, Venus of Taurus, love of the Holy Spirit, the Causal Body of the Man, the sixth card of the Tarot, the Lover.
Netzach – Victory, Justice of the Arcanum, the seventh card of the Tarot, the chariot, Saturn.
Hod – Glory, Mercury of Gemini, the eighth card of the Tarot, the Eternity of all.
Yesod – Foundation, the Sun of Leo, the ninth card of the Tarot. The Hermit, the Absolute.
Malkuth – Kingdom, the entire universe, Mary or Virgo, Nature.
These ten Sephiroth live within our Being and are our inner solar system. The Tarot is intimately related with Esoteric Astrology and with Initiation.
Now we start the course of Kabbalah. Let us study the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot. Therefore this course will have 22 lectures. We hope that you will study and practice with patience and tenacity so that you will attain Great Realizations.
We will start by studying the First Arcanum of the Tarot. We will enter into the Sanctum Regnum of High Magic. ++

Re: Study of the 22 Major Arcana
Mon, August 17, 2009 - 12:05 PMOr we could stop trying to shoehorn the Major Arcana into a system for which they were not clearly designed, and start understanding them the way the European Renaissance mind did when they created them.
"The Tarot is intimately related with Esoteric Astrology and with Initiation. "
While this is a potentially illuminating study for many seekers, this sort of thinking originated with the 18th century occultists and was refined and set into stone by the Golden Dawn and other late 19th century/early 20th century magicians who integrated a variety of systems and disciplines into the Tarot. These concepts have only been "intimately related" since then.
This does not take away from the potential power in this sort of study, but I think it's important not to perpetuate misinformation about the history of the tarot.
