Gnostic Studies

Tarot and Kabalah in the Gnostic Tradition

01magicianhandoutGnostic Tarot & Kabbalah

We will be primarily using the Gnostic Egyptian Tarot for this class (which may be a difficult deck to find, especially in English). Its plates are available in the books listed below (recommended for the class) and a bilingual copy of the deck may be acquired by emailing gnosticstudies at gmail.

Each Tarot card is associated with a Number and a Hebrew Letter (Example: The Magician or Magus, number 1, and letter Aleph א ). What we will be studying in this class is the symbolism of the Card and how this relates to the Path of Regeneration. This symbolism is the Esoteric Spiritual Path that is present in all authentic religious forms.

This class will cover materials from 3 main books, which are available from either of these two different publishers:
