The Symbolic Forms and the Minor Arcana According to Eliphas Levi<\/h3>\n

From the kabbalistic point of view, the Tarot is a hieroglyphic book composed of a kabbalistic alphabet [22] and a wheel (or circle) of 4 decades [4 x 10], specified by 4 symbolic and typical figures, each having (for its ray) a ladder of 4 progressive figures [4 x 4, this refers to the \u201cCourt Cards\u201d] representing Humanity:
\n

[1] man, [2] woman, [3] youth and [4] child;
\nor [1] master, [2] mistress, [3] soldier and [4] page\/valet\u2026<\/dir><\/p>\n

The figures of the 4 suits (the Clubs, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles) are the hieroglyphs of the tetragram  \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/span> :
\n

the Club is the Egyptian phallus or Hebrew Yod  \u05d9<\/span>  ;
\nthe Cup is the cteis or primitive Heh  \u05d4<\/span>  ;
\nthe Sword is the conjunction of both (or the lingam) represented in Hebrew before the captivity by Vau  \u05d5<\/span>  ;
\nand the Pentacle, image of the world, is the final Heh  \u05d4<\/span>  .<\/dir><\/p>\n

The 22 letters and 10 numbers give the 32 paths of the Sepher Yetzirah<\/em>: 4 gives the Merkabah ( \u05db\u05d1\u05d4\u05de\u05e8<\/span> or chariot of Ezekiel). The 4 elementary and astronomical signs are the 4 forms of the sphinx and the 4 animals of Ezekiel and of saint John\u2026<\/u> As for the numbers from 1-10, you will find their explanation repeated 4 times with the symbols of the Club (or scepter of the father), the Cup (or delights of the mother), the Sword (or battle of love), and the Pentacles (or fecundity).<\/p>\n

<\/Table>Each number, multiplied by a key, gives another number, which (explained in turn by the keys) completes the philosophical and religious revelation contained in each sign. Thus, Arcanum 1 (the key of unities) explains the 4 Aces with their quadruple progressive signification in the three worlds and in the first principle.<\/p>\n

Therefore,

the Ace of Clubs is \u201ccreative intelligence\u201d;
\nthe Ace of Cups is \u201cmagnetizing intelligence\u201d;
\nthe Ace of Swords is \u201cmilitant intelligence\u201d;
\nthe Ace of Pentacles is \u201cthe soul of the world\u201d;<\/dir>they are further the principles of movement, progress, fecundity and power.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Motto and the Minor Arcana According to Huiracocha<\/h3>\n

The Clubs<\/strong>, green sticks, or Spears\/Lances, represent the vegetative life or the first years of life, wherein resides the volitional agent<\/u>. <\/p>\n

In the Cup<\/strong> resides the power (the capacity or ability to do)<\/u> and with it we receive the soul, through spiritual nourishment (this is the second time that we educate ourselves). Our body is a Cup or Grail that must always be ready and open to receive what the higher worlds want to put into it. Therefore, we need to take care of our body in order to be clean & pure and in order to receive superior influences, streams or teachings. <\/p>\n

In this way, we are able to continue on with the daring<\/u> of the Sword<\/strong>. The disciple of Magic must have daring, but not be reckless; always facing the danger, but not going into battle unarmed. The Sword is for defense. We should never be alone in the fight, but rather always evoking the help of the superior planes. <\/p>\n

Now that we are secure in life and armed with instruction, we can conquer with the Sword in hand: in order to finally attain victory, acquiring the prize, the Spiritual Gold represented by the Pentacles<\/strong>. These Golden Pentacles are related with the Sun and with the Eucharistic Host (which demands respect, silence: KEEPING QUIET<\/u>). The Pentacles teach us that the intellect must convert itself into Wisdom.<\/p>\n

Summary:
\n

1) Clubs \u2013 Volition: the Initiative or Beginning of life;
\n2) Cups \u2013 Power\/Capacity: Reception from the higher worlds;
\n3) Swords \u2013 Daring: to Fight by evoking the help of the superior planes;
\n4) Pentacles \u2013 Keeping Quiet (Respect): Spiritual Gold, converting the intellect into Wisdom.<\/dir><\/p>\n

The 4 Elements and the Minor Arcana According to Samael Aun Weor<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe have arrived at the conclusion that: all Kabbalah is reduced to the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot and 4 Aces, which represent the 4 Elements of Nature. The Tarot is a book as ancient as the ages, and is intimately related with the Wisdom of the Planetary Gods. <\/p>\n

The 4 Aces signify the Elements of Nature:
\n

THE ACE OF CLUBS SYMBOLIZES EARTH.
\nTHE ACE OF CUPS SYMBOLIZES WATER.
\nTHE ACE OF SWORDS SYMBOLIZES FIRE.
\nTHE ACE OF PENTACLES SYMBOLIZES AIR.<\/dir><\/p>\n

The cards of the Tarot are the language of the Superior Worlds of Light.<\/strong> The cards of the Tarot are the Occult Wisdom of the Sidereal Gods. Many times the Sidereal Gods answer us by showing us a Tarot card; then we should intuitively comprehend the answer we have been given. <\/p>\n

There are two kinds of Kabbalists: Intellectual and Intuitive. The Intellectual Kabbalists are Black Magicians; the Intuitive Kabbalists are White Magicians. The Intuitive Kabbalists understand everything with the Heart. The Intellectual Kabbalists want to resolve everything with the Animal Mind. The Intuitive Kabbalists are only guided by the Voice of Silence, the Intimus (the Being). By merely looking at a card of the Tarot, the Intuitive Kabbalists comprehend what destiny reserves for them. The White Magician prays to the Gods, throws their cards on the table with eyes closed, and (beseeching their God) picks up a card, observes it, and makes the forecast with their intuition. <\/p>\n

The 78 plates of the Tarot are like 78 ineffable Hieroglyphs shining in this pyramid of five angles called man 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10; the entire progress of the student is based on these numbers. <\/p>\n

The book of the Tarot is divided into 22 Major Arcana, and 56 Minor Arcana. All the 56 plates of the Minor Arcana are based on the 4 Aces and on the 10 numbers of our decimal system.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

In the 22 Major Arcana, for example, a 4 of Clubs is none other than Arcanum \u201c4\u201d (the Emperor) and the symbol of the Ace of Clubs repeated 4 times; the same thing happens with the rest of the 56 plates of the Minor Arcana. Intuitively interpret these cards combining the Natural Element with the Major Arcana and the problem is resolved. <\/p>\n

For example: a 6 of Pentacles would be interpreted by combining Arcanum 6 (Indecision or the Lovers) with the Element Air (or \u201cSoul\u201d), symbolized by the Pentacles; this would say: \u201cA Love Affair\u201d, and so on successively.\u201d<\/dir><\/p>\n

Part 2 – The Minor Arcana, the Tetragrammaton and the 72 Names of God<\/h2>\n

The Minor Arcana According to Eliphas Levi (Continued)<\/h3>\n

Now let us take a Tarot and reunite all its pages in order to form William Postel\u2019s Wheel or ROTA; let us group the four Aces, the four 2s, etc., and we will then have 10 packs of cards giving the hieroglyphic explanation of the triangle of divine names on the scale of 10. One can then read them thus, by relating each number to a corresponding Sephira:
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The four 3s<\/td>\n BINAH. <\/td>\n \u201cFrom his intelligence (or intelligent understanding) he gives four proofs.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The four 4s<\/td>\n CHESED. <\/td>\n \u201cFrom mercy he is four benefactions.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The four 5s<\/td>\n GEBURAH. <\/td>\n \u201cHis rigor punishes four crimes four times.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The four 6s<\/td>\n TIPHERETH.  <\/td>\n \u201cThrough four pure rays his beauty is revealed.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The four 7s<\/td>\n NETZAH. <\/td>\n \u201cLet\u2019s celebrate four times his eternal victory.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The four 8s<\/td>\n HOD. <\/td>\n \u201cHe triumphs four times in his eternity.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The four 9s<\/td>\n JESOD. <\/td>\n \u201cHis throne is supported upon four foundations.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The four 10s<\/td>\n MALKUTH. <\/td>\n \u201cHis unique kingdom is four times the same and conforms to the florets of the divine crown.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Letters of the Tetragrammaton and the Suits of the Minor Arcana<\/h4>\n

As was mentioned in the previous class<\/a>, Levi tells us that: <\/p>\n

\u201cThe hieroglyphic figure of the divine Tetragram [or Shema: \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/span> ] is the cross    and its four letters are represented by the four suits in the Minor Arcana<\/u> of the Tarot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One can see through this simple arrangement the kabalistic sense of each plate. Thus, for example:
\n      • the 5 of clubs rigorously signifies the Geburah of Yod \u05d9<\/span> , that is to say, the justice of the Creator or the wrath of man;
\n      • the 7 of cups signifies the victory of mercy or the triumph of woman;
\n      • the 8 of swords signifies eternal conflict or eternal equilibrium;
\n      • and so forth for the others.<\/p>\n

The Minor Arcana and the 72 Names of God According to Eliphas Levi<\/h3>\n

Eliphas Levi explained to his student the Baron Spedalieri that the Numbered cards of the Minor Arcana corresponded to the 72 Names of God:
\n

\u201cThe name Jehovah \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/span> resolves into 72 explicatory names, called Shemahamphorash<\/em> \u05e9\u05dd<\/span> \u05d4\u05de\u05e4\u05d5\u05e8\u05e9<\/span>. The art of employing these 72 names and of finding in them the keys of the universal science is what the kabalists have called the clavicles or \u2018little keys\u2019 of Solomon. <\/p>\n

In fact, at the end of the collections of evocations and prayers that carry this title, one may find 72 magical circles or engravings analogous to the hieroglyphic figures of the Tarot, each carrying 2 of the 72 names along with the emblematic sign of their number: making 36 talismans. This is 4 x 9, that is to say the absolute number (9) multiplied by the quaternary (4). Note that the 10s which are found in the tarot are not featured on the talismans; because the 10, being the synthesis of the unity (1), is virtually contained within the unity of each number. <\/p>\n

With the aid of these signs and through their infinite combinations (like those of the numbers & letters), one can arrive at the natural & mathematical revelation of all the secrets of nature…\u201d<\/dir><\/p>\n

So, except for the 10’s (which he says repeat the 1’s), the Numbered cards 1-9 each have an associated Talisman and Divine Name. Below, we have the names both in their 3-lettered Hebrew form as well as a transliteration with the traditional endings. Adding either an “EL\/AL \u05d0\u05dc<\/span> ” or a “JaH\/YaH\/IaH \u05d9\u05d4<\/span> ” to the end of these names is found in many writings on the subject. In some cases, Levi spells the name differently than other authors or even incorrectly.<\/p>\n
