Pages 62-63 giving me a headache - reading it over and over - probably over reading it.... Re; Secret Doctrine in the Tarot. Is he talking about different ideas of (Mathers and Papus) why the tarot 'works' for divination such as arctypes and numerical order. Is he talking about the images having actual magical power?
He doesn't mention magic anywhere on those pages except to say that the Tarot is not of Ceremonial Magic.
It's always best to read exactly what he says:
"It is the presentation of universal ideas by means of universal types, and it is in the combination of these types—if anywhere—that it presents Secret Doctrine."
To translate into a Jungian perspective -
It consists of archetypes seen as archetypal symbols, which, as they appear together (combined) in the deck, present mystical teachings.
Furthermore: It is an early example (in images) of ideas found in Hermetic writings that have also appeared in alchemy, Kabbalism, astrology and ceremonial magic. Thus, similar ideas can be found in the Tarot, but there is no indication that Tarot came directly from any of these.
On page 65 he clearly states, "The Trumps Major . . . have been adapted to fortune telling rather than belong[ing] thereto."
