As we have at times mentioned various allocations of the Major Arcana to the postulated 'paths' which supposedly link Sefirah to Sefirah, I thought it may be worthwhile listing various attributions.
Rather than starting these as 'path 11, path 12, etc', it would probably be easier, for reference's sake, to indicate the Sefiroth connected (not everyone would agree on, for example, which two Sefirot are 'connected' by 'path 16').
As there is clear universal Kabbalistic acceptance as to the order of Sefirotic emanation, 3-4 would indicate the 'path' connecting 3 Binah to 4 Hesed (I specifically selected this pair which doesn't normally have a connecting path within the Golden Dawn system).
For the sake of ease of reference, the Sefirotic ordering (and suggested numerical allocation) is:
With regards to the Tarot, the Waite/Colman-Smith follows Golden Dawn numbering, and hence indications between the two follow - which I'll post separately (and after I prepare and dinner!)

For the sake of ease of reference, the Sefirotic ordering (and suggested numerical allocation) is:
- 1 - Keter/Kether (as the spelling varies with various authors, I have only listed one, but I will certainly use various alternatives!)
2 - Hockmah
3 - Binah
D - Da'at (not a Sefirah)
4 - Hesed
5 - Geburah
6 - Tifaret
7 - Netzah
8 - Hod
9 - Yesod
10 - Malkut
