My first post; I'm totally new and probably about to make a fool of myself. Oh boy, more learning.
I must have saved Tarot for later in my life when I had a modicum of maturity and patience. In 3 months I'm hooked. Anyway...
Reading Lon Milo Duquette who, if I'm getting this right, seems to order and associate things this way:
Yod, Fire, Atziluth, Wands
He, Water, Briah, Cups
Vau, Air, Yetzirah, Swords
He, Earth, Assiah, Disks
Did I even understand the thread? And where does that place things on the Tree? Okay, what did I miss?
There are different ways of organizing and correlating the different concepts. Try not to let that be confusing. If a certain post seems puzzling, don't hesitate to ask for clarification. I think probably a lot of us are still learning and could benefit from others' questions; I know I could.I am so appreciative of everyone who posts here. I make tiny connections, hang on by my fingernails, then the world falls out from under me. All I can do is keep moving. I'm memorizing the Hebrew alphabet, the position of paths, staring at cards, putting books you recommend on my wish list. My dreams are changing. Thank you--I think.
Waite was not purposefully being aloof. He was trying to reveal as much as he could without violating certain initiatory oaths. Mary K. Greer has conjectured that his writing style is somewhat distant because he had Asperger's Syndrome. Among other things, Pictorial Key (PKT) is important for demolishing once and for all the theory of the Egyptian origin of Tarot, but don't expect the discussion of the Major Trumps to be completely satisfying. It is a must-have book, but it's important to realize that its potential for inducing frustration can be rather high.......Also, looking at Waite's tiny booklet that comes with the RW Tarot Pack, "Key to the Tarot". Was he purposefully aloof? I have the Pictoral Key on the way. Surely he will say more.......
This is such a pedestrian question, but since I'm barely crawling, what (in an overview) are:
Atziluth, Briah, Yetzirah and Assiah? clospraplexa addressed some of this but I want you say it again, r e a l s l o w. . .
