Kabbalistic Tarot as a Spiritual Path: Introduction

 Revealing the Secret Structure of Tarot for Personal Revelation

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn recreated the tarot deck as a Kabbalistic tool to seek spiritual harmony and Divine connection through a practice of deep self-examination. The Waite-Smith deck was specifically designed for each card to correspond with teachings encoded on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. However, they never taught (at least publicly) how to use the tarot in a Kabbalistic ritual to do this. This class will teach you just such a traditional Kabbalistic ritual—the practice of Counting the Omer—so you can forge a greater connection to the Divine and so you can enrich your tarot readings with greater spiritual depth.

The practice of Counting the Omer will take you on an inner mythic journey that follows the path of the ancient Israelites from their first day of freedom from enslavement in Egypt to their arrival at Mt. Sinai 49-days later, where they experienced Divine revelation. Each day of this 49-day practice is an opportunity to go deep within, using the tarot cards that correspond to each day’s Sephirotic energies. This practice will strengthen your spiritual container to hold and share ever-greater light.

This is practical Kabbalah—which means you’ll learn key concepts that you will be able to use daily, without any complicated, abstract, or abstruse philosophy. You’ll learn how the meanings of each card are rooted in the meanings of their positions on the Tree of Life. And you’ll learn how to apply those meanings for self-reflection and contemplation in the work of purifying the heart as preparation for an encounter with your personal Divine revelation at the end of the 49-day practice.
