Tree of Life:Tarot

(Revision as of 14:44, 16 Oct 2004)

On the Tree of Life of the Qabalah, every Sephiroth and Path is represent by cards from the Tarot (tar-oh). The conventional 78-card deck is structured into two distinct parts—the 22 cards of the Major Arcana (also called the Trumps or the Atu) and the Minor Arcana, which are composed of four suits (often a variation of cups, swords, wands, and disks). Each suit has ten numbered cards and four "face" cards (usually a variation on kings, queens, princes, and princesses).

On the Tree, the Sephirot are represented by the various suits of the Minor Arcana, and the 22 Paths are attributed to the Major Arcana or Atu.
