Lady Iron Side
I own the Labyrinth Tarot - how ever I don't understand the importance of the symbolic numbers. Would any one here please explain and give me a meaning if there is one to the numbers?
In this deck it follows the ancient Hebrew letters, maybe (Levi's) it is not the Golden dawn attributes of the Hebrew letters as you will see.
Magician ( Aleph ) =1
Priestess ( Beth ) = 2
Empress ( Gimel ) = 3
Emperor ( Dalet ) = 4
Priest ( He ) = 5
Lovers ( Vav ) = 6
Chariot ( Zain ) = 7
Justice ( Jeth ) or Chet = 8
Hermit ( Teth ) = 9
Wheel ( Yod ) = 10
Strength ( Kaph ) = 20
The Hanged Man ( Lamed ) = 30 " ACAV " 1 + 8 + 1 + 6 = 16
Death ( Mem ) = 40
Temperance ( Nun ) = 50
The Devil ( Samej ) (Samech) = 60
Tower ( Ain ) (Ayin) = 70
Star ( Peh ) (Pey) = 80
Moon ( Tzadek ) (Tsad / Tsade) = 90
Sun ( Kuf ) (Quph) = 100
Judgement ( Resh ) = 200
The Fool ( Shin ) = 300
World ( Tav ) (Taw) = 400
Luis Royo STRESSES that he uses " the Tarot is philosophical too to astrology , Cabala, alchemy and magic. In each image, as as in the accompanying text, appear the astrological sign, its equivalent in the Hebrew alphabet and corresponding number. Their meanings derived from each of them must be sought in the different related sources, whose sheer extent makes them impossible to go through here." He also brings to attention about the "Sumerian" beliefs, genetic code, DNA, Sciences,secrets to the universe mysteries of mankind. "Wisdom from all cardinal points" then he states this " However, my aim has been to create a Tarot for the present day, which continues to contain the most Primitive Hermetic codes and is not a personal interpretation"
