Tarot cards and PE

Anyone else here use them and more specifically for pe...

I do, before I make a purchase I`ll do a reading for what the product will do for me. For the pmp pro I got the Sun, 6 swords and the Empress which is a great reading so I decided to go for it, I got it the other week and so far it definitely works better than any other extender setup I`ve tried.

I have never used them until the last time I was in Miami. I did not realize that they are largely based on Christian symbolism.

Never believed in astrology myself.

He's a completely fascinating guy. I bought book four of "Magick" (an 800 page tome) a number of years ago as a $50 impulse purchase from Amazon at 3 in the morning. Yikes, I didn't know what I was in for. Sacred geometry, astrology, yoga, everything. Unfortunately the book's so damned heavy that you have to read it at a desk, lol.

They're mostly based on the Kaballah, I'd say.

But yeah they are influenced by Christnity too, a lot of books on western magic are influenced by christianity though it makes sense since christianity for pretty much all of the past 2000 years was really the only accepted spiritual game in town in the western world.

You should check out Aleister Crowleys Thoth deck, it uses symbolism from many different religions.

So do I.

He was way ahead of his time and mostly responsible for the 60's hippy era and our current new age era.

I have been a student of Kabbalah and being Jewish I failed to see too much in the sense of Kabbalahistic symbolism but I have only seen 2 decks., both were based on angels and saints. I would love to see one based in Judaism and Kabbalah.

Were they standard 78 card tarot decks?

The 78 card decks have 22 trumps which correspond to the 22 letters of the hebrew albphabet and the 22 paths between the 10 sephiroth on the tree of life. The rest of the cards, the 56 suit cards are ruled by the 4 elements Fire, water, air and earth, each suit has 10 numbered cards each one corresponding to one of the 10 sepiroth (Aces Kether...., 10 Malkuth) each suit also has 4 court cards which in a given element correspond to each of the 4 elements, Ie King of Wands is fire of fire, Queen of wands watery part of fire, prince of wands air of fire, princess of wands earthy part of fire. A lot of great occultists have said that to study the kaballah all you need is a standard 78 card tarot deck.

The standard 78 card deck was built around the kaballah as I said I'd reccomend the Thoth deck by Aleister Crowley, Crowley was one of the greatest students of the kaballah and included a lot of symbolism from it in the artwork of the deck as well.
