Sorry, JMD
I posted in haste and failed to say the chemical atom types were relevant to the bardic system of relating number to sign -- a distinct topic from the Sefirot -- and that that system (on which tarot was later based) must have originated before the destruction of the last civilization, since Neolithic and Bronze Age man knew not the periodic table. But that this knowledge was built into the system later embodied in tarot I can demonstrate exhaustively. Anyone interested in details of the system can peruse my various posts, in which I explain various aspects of it (those I have ferreted out so far).
