GENERAL NOTE ON THE TAROT ATTRIBUTIONS.
Since 156 equals 78 x 2, it might have been expected that each Tarot card
would come twice on each Tablet and no more, but it will be seen that this is not
so, for:
(a) The 22 Trumps occur 4 times, once in each lesser angle. The 12
allotted to Simple Letters, the 3 allotted to the Three Mothers, and the Universe
allotted to Tau and Saturn, come in the Servient squares, and the other six of the
Double Letters on the six uppermost squares of the Sephirotic Cross. The apparent
anomaly of the position of Saturn is thus explained in the "Book of the Concourse
of Forces". "Now in the attribution of the Tarot Keys hereunto, Universe is
attributed to Earth and Saturn though one of the seven `Lords who wander' is yet here
classed with those who abide, because he is the heaviest of the seven, and thus formeth
a link between the Wanderers and the Abiders."
The reason for the other attributions are also given at some length in the same
paper, and it is not worth-while to copy them here.
(b) The Aces and Court Cards occur once only, on the Kether squares of
the Sephirotic Cross, and the four Kerubic squares of each lesser Angle.
(c) The 36 small cards occur twice each, on the Great Cross, and on the
nine lower Sephiroth of the Sephirotic Crosses.
