The Cosmic Tarot - Tree of Life - Card Correspondences
I have found some discrepancies in using the Cosmic Tarot with the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah System. I felt it to be important for those who wish to use Kabbalah study with this deck. The Cosmic tarot doesn't follow with lets per-say the traditional guide lines as RWS (Waite) or Thoth (AC) Golden dawn system, it has its own, why you ask as did I, the answer is unclear to me at present. Below I will just post the Cards and their correspondence, I will also include with relation to Waites and AC correspondences as comparison. Which you will find very helpful in understanding this deck and how to use it.
The Hebrew Alphabet
here I have listed the Hebrew Letter sequence, you will notice that there are two that are in wrong placing, which AC (Thoth) corrected. however this does affect the Cosmic Tarot, as you will see below.
1 Aleph
2 Beth
3 Gimmel
4 Daleth
5 Heh
6 Vau
7 Sain
8 Cheth
12 Lamed
10 Yod
11 Caph
9 Teth
13 Mem
14 Nun
15 Sameck
16 Ayin
17 Pe
18 Tsade
19 Qoph
20 Resh
21 Shin
22 Tau
I will only list where the changes are; Here you will notice the card follow the Thoth/Marseilles number sequence for these cards, yet the Hebrew letter don't match.
Card--------------------------------Cosmic------------Waite--------------Thoth
VIII. (8) Justice/Adjustment---------12 Lamed---------12 Lamed-----------9 Teth
XI. (11) Strength--------------------9 Teth-----------9 Teth-------------12 Lamed
What gave it away to this slight noticeable problem
On VIII. (8) Justice - symbol of Libra on the steam of the scale (Lamed = ox goad) Also her crowns symbolism (Lamed = Coition/Cognition) 4 doors/windows/pillars - To the tree of knowlege (Higher learning/wisdom)
Note: Remeber there were 2 Trees; Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge in the garden of Eden.
on XI. (11) Strength - symbol of the Cobra / serpent on the crown (Teth = Snake) also you will notice on her brow a symbol for a device used for Sound (Teth = Hearing)
