19880113.1107

There was a certain relief, yesterday,* at being involved in something that did not involve Tarots. But if the Tarot system **describes a perception of reality, the correspondence might go something like this:***

{(Revised p324)}****

Circles Pattern	Mantelpiece pattern#		Plane or Level	Separation	Courts???
0	0	.	One	Singularity
0-I	I	I		Line or Static
II-V	I-VII	#1	Spiritual Kingdom (Spirit)#*	Circle or Dynamic	Knaves?
VI-XIII	VIII-XIV	#2	Physical World (Body)	Cone or Order	Knights?
XIV-XXI	XV-XXI	#3	Mental Zone (Soul)		Queens?
0	0	0	Union	(Completion)	Kings?

***

The merit of this is that it explains why the Tarot Circles run (say) anti-clockwise, clockwise, anti-clockwise, and why they seem to be (as it were) good (or at least neutral, or benevolent), bad, good: in terms of Creation, the Mental Zone by which Man is able to develop and refine his Soul can only begin the spiral (?) 'ascent' back to God after completion of the anti-spiral [sic] (?) 'descent' of or into the Physical Universe; and that can only occur after the creation of the spiral (?) or circular Spiritual Kingdom, nearer to God.#**

I am not very happy, though, with the fit of the Court Cards to this pattern: it is possible, but Knaves seem to have an extra-ordinary range of roles from Outer Outer Circle businessmen (going to go round again), to Individual Angelic Spirits. It is possible, though, that the same idea underlies both: it is possible.
