I just purchased the Tarot of the Sephiroth -- which is wonderful. I came home and laid it out on my table, creating the Tree of Life. Suddenly relationships between the cards and interpretive concepts became clear in my mind in a way that they hadn't been before.
I'd love to start a Study Group for this deck -- or the connection between Tarot and the Sephiroth more generally.
For example, there is Isabel Radow Kliegman's excellent book "Tarot and the Tree of Life: Finding Everyday Wisdom in the Minor Arcana" which I also just got -- we could discuss that and similar works.
Tarot and Kabbalah -- together the cards are so much richer, don't you think?
Okay, a question to get us started. There are a variety of ways of assigning the Major Arcana to the paths between the Sephiroth. Is there any particular assignment that seems unusual or unclear to you?
I also have trouble thinking of the Emperor as being over there near the pillar of Mercy. He doesn't seem particularly merciful -- until you glance over at the Heirophant. Still -- isn't Mercy usually considered a feminine principle? Severity seems more male -- yes?
