Tarot Major Arcana: From the World to the Fool

This tarot series is intended for those wishing to use the Major Arcana of Paul Foster Case as a practical tool for insight on their spiritual journey. His most popular book on the Tarot is very detailed in its association with Tarot and the Hebrew Letters and goes well beyond the divinatory meanings commonly associated with each card.

Although the emphasis of my particular work relates to meditation on the subtle energies of Light and Sound as described extensively on this website, it is hoped that anyone following their own spiritual path will derive insight into improving their meditation and spiritual practise.

This project looks at the major arcana in reverse sequence, starting with the spiritual seeker who comes to the spiritual path for the first time, with their consciousness limited by ‘The World’ around them.

We will then look at each of the cards in turn which make up three sequences of 7 cards:

 

With reference to the material forthcoming in this project, some definitions are appropriate:

(i) An Initiate is one who has been Initiated into the Light and Sound Energies and therefore meditates on these subtle spiritual vibrations. 

(ii) An Adept is someone who has attained Enlightenment through the grace of the Spiritual Hierarchy, a Spiritual Master, or by their own endeavours and knows their essential nature to be infinite, to know they have never been born and will never die, and they are everything that has existed or will exist. 

(iii) The Path refers to the spiritual journey from Initiation to Enlightenment.

(iv) When the Initiate is referred to as ‘He’, this must be seen as representative of both genders.
