Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any substantial history to overlaying the 7 layer chakra system with the tree of life. I know MKG has her chakra/tree of life layout in Tarot for Yourself. It seems to be something she just does on her own.
In introducing the Kabalah in my intro tarot class one person pointed out how she can see the chakras in it. It seems to be such a natural correspondance so I want to know which authors if any have worked with it. Is there a body of theories out there? I've seen intro books compare the two.
Did the Golden Dawn or early Kabalists have access to info on the Chakras? Maybe it's a new comparison we can make only now in our culturaly expanded global village?
What are your opinions on this? Is it a useful correspondance or an ingredient easily tossed in the spiritual melting pot?
