Top notch tutorials on the Celtic Cross Spread, Elemental Dignities, Hebrew for Tarot Readers, Journey Through the Major Arcana, Tarot Card Counting and the Tarot Elements Signature Spread.
Part Four of Mick Frankel’s excellent course: Hebrew for Tarot Readers – the Planetary Trumps.
This tutorial will focus on Card Counting as refined by the Golden Dawn, their system is interwoven with the Qabbalah and the Tree of Life, and you will see influences from these systems in Card Counting, though you don’t need knowledge in either to count cards.
Hebrew for Tarot Readers, the Simple Letters is Part 3 of Mick Frankel’s excellent & free tarot course. Explore the Simple Letters and the Zodiac.
We’ve looked at the three Hebrew letters that Sefer Yetziroh calls Mother Letters or Primary Letters in Part One. These are א מ and שׁ.
Next, Sefer Yetziroh mentions a group of seven letters that are called Double Letters:
There are four letters that change their sound according to whether they have a dot in the middle or not. The version with the dot has a harder sound.
There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet:
“Ch” is pronounced like a full-on Scots version of “Loch”. Along with “tz” it’s the characteristic sound of Hebrew as in the word, “chutzpah”.
We’ve already gleaned a lot of information from the original nine Tarot cards in my reading, but wouldn’t it be great if we could actually pinpoint the trouble zones in more detail?
We can do just that with Secondary Triads. These are essentially the triads that are not in any linear formation – hence their shapes are triangular. They tell a more detailed story not so easily found through regular Tarot reading.
Today I want to play with my Signature Spread a little more, give it a new name, and introduce elemental dignities to it to show you how much fun you can have when you work in triads. The card pairing in the first post still applies, but with a slightly new layout to accommodate the elemental dignities, we will be adding a couple more pairings to the list.
