<<Qabalistically each of the Trumps are attributed to a letter, and the letters do divide neatly into 3 types.
3 Mother Letters: Attributed to the 3 primary elements and sometimes the modern planets.
Aleph (Fool, Air, Uranus), Mem (Hanged Man, Water, Neptune) and Shin (Aeon, Fire, Pluto)
7 Double Letters: Attributed to the 7 traditional planets.
12 Single Letters: Attributed to the 12 signs of the Zodiac.>>
This is a very helpful distillation. I know I've read it before, but thinking it over now, it finally begins to click.
<<The whole system of correspondences used by the GD is essentially an artificial language for communicating with the subconscious mind. On paper it's almost as worthless and arbitary as any other system.>>
True Dat, Aeon418.
<<Plus if someone else speaks the same language you can compare results.>>
Yes, that's what I'm working towards. I've done a lot of "artificial-languaging" to work with myself, and the structure behind my practice makes sense to me, but who else speaks my language? lol. I'm trying to get a handle on these older structures precisely so I can better compare results. Not necessarily cuz Old = Authentic, but for general study and communication.
And, of course, the lingo makes any personal tweakage more explainable as such, rather than as some newfangled unchartedness.
