- 14. DAATH KABBALAH (הָּל ָּב ַ)ק means “reception” in Hebrew. Kabbalah is an ancient system of Hebraic esoteric teachings, communicated to initiates through symbols and correspondences. The most well- known and significant aspect of Kabbalistic symbolism is the Tree Of Life, formed by ten “Sephirot,” or emanations, connected by 22 “Paths.” The Sephirot correspond to various aspects of human mental and emotional characteristics. An eleventh sphere named Daath, is not considered as one of the Sephirot, but rather, as the place from which the entire Tree “grows,” corresponding to the realm of Hidden, or Occulted, Knowledge.

- 18. TAROT
- 19. THE TAROT Infinitely More Than Fortune-Telling The Tarot Tradition uses rich, multi- faceted symbolism portrayed upon a deck of 78 cards to convey Truths regarding the aspects of our own being and the Laws of the Cosmos. The Tarot deck consists of two components, the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards, 11 of which deal with aspects of the human psyche and 11 of which deal with aspects of Natural Law. The Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards divided into Four Suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Coins, each consisting of 14 cards (ace thru 10, plus 4 “court cards” for each suit).
- 20. THE TAROT Infinitely More Than Fortune-Telling Sadly, in modern times, the Tarot is looked upon by many as being nothing more than a prop in the repertoire of “fortune-tellers.” While the system of cards could be used as an intuitive divinatory aid, this is considered by serious students of Tarot to be an ancillary usage of the deck at best. The Tarot was traditionally seen, in its pure, esoteric form, as a means of conveying deep Truths through covert means, without needing to write down or even speak the message aloud. If a picture speaks a thousand words, a Tarot deck, when deeply understood, speaks countless millions.
