If google says it is so, then it must be so. How convenient for us to be such authorities.
LOL
yeah I've done a bit of digging around and whilst there are little hints via Levi with the whole tarot/kabbalah link, I think the astrological stuff got added on from the GD via their study of Agrippa, Etellia and Gebelin...
But Im happy to be proved wrong.
I find the work of the decans via the Egyptian stuff (looking at Scion's work) is really interesting and when I get reunited with my tarot decks I'll get out my Liber T and see it in a new light.
But, whilst the inculsion of astrology into tarot seems relatively late in the scheme of tarot, considering how much the GD had developed and added so many layers to tarot which are now part of its modern symbolism, use and work in the astral and collective consciousness, I can see it still highly effective in tarot work.
Just because its 'new' doesn't mean its not effective.
