Very Unlike Kabbalah

whimsy

Some interesting correspondences. The correspondences for the first three are pretty straightforward and I think nothing particularly controversial in them, Priestess/Moon, Empress/Venus and Emperor Mars all fit. The associations with the last four are not to me so obvious though. How do you see that Mercury 'fit's with Strength; The Sun with the Star; Jupiter with Judgement and Saturn with Fool? What do you consider the connecting associations?
I enjoyed your questions~ but you never came back.
Is that a kabbalah thing? Asking whimsical questions?

Is this in a book anywhere?

Hi, All! I recently got an RWS deck off of eBay with these "attributions" marked on the cards. A search brought me to this thread. Is any of this in some book or something? It's not that complicated if you actually look at the cards (though it's a bummer they were marked in ink) but I've never seen any of this anywhere before. Anybody? Thanks!
