Out on a Limb
Hi all,
I have my own system, which results in pairs of cards being attributed to spheres on the tree of life.
Derivation is quite complex, but the result can be seen here.
(and yes, I? know the lightning strike is reversed left to right. Thats the sequence the Tarot gives. Perhaps it was done that way as a deliberate obfuscation.)
sorry about the size.
Its my current speculation that, of each pair, one card represents the descent, and the other card represents the ascent, according to the meaning of the sphere they are in.
In other words, half the cards represent the descent, and half represent the ascent.
I propose to work through the pairs, trying to identify which card is ascent and which is descent, and explaining the meaning of the spheres, ascent and descent along the way. I will do one pair/sphere per posting.
I don't intend to spend too much time explaining the why of the system in this thread. It is well explained on the website and in the book. I can answer questions as required, but perhaps on my site, or in another thread, or PM, so as to avoid cluttering this thread.
I will be trying to focus on neo-platonic concepts with your help, as it is not my specialty.
Shall we dance?
