Includes astrological, numerological, colour, Hebrew letter, and musical, correspondences.

Deals mainly with the Major Arcana, and although divination is covered, it is not the book's main emphasis.

I've never read a book so full of erudition, wisdom, practical advice, and clear, concise explanation. My copy goes with me wherever I go.

...This book is mediations on the 22 paths of the Tree ofLife from the Qabbala as represented by the 22 Tarot trumps. Itincludes very nice full color plates of the tarot trumps. Eachmeditation is usually about 3 pages long followed by 2 pages ofcommentary.

This book I think is unlikely to appeal to anyone whodoesn't already have at least a basic understanding of the Qabbala andthe Tarot (ie can you draw the tree of life and do you have the tarotattributions for the most part memorized) but is likely to be enjoyedby those who do.

Second verse from the meditation on Tsaddi (thestar):

Men think they seek me, But it is I who seek them, No otherseeker is there then myself, And when I find mine own, The pain ofquestioning is at an end. The fish graspeth the hook, Thinking tofind food, But the fisherman is the enjoyer of the meal.

First versefrom the mediation on Samekh (temperance):

I AM the support of allthat enter into existence. Upon me all depend. And I fail not. Thishave I declared unto thee in various ways, But listen now to my wordsagain.

Each mediatation is at least several verses long. Here is thebeginning of the commentary on Samekh:

SAMEKH, pronouncedsawmek. Transcribed as "S". The number 60. Meaning: Prop,Support. The Intelligence of Probation or Trial.

The commentary foreach path begins like this and then is followed by specific commentaryon some of the verses from the meditation.

An excellentbook. Recommended for any serious student.

The extremely detailed & painstakingly researched explication of the Rosicrucian manifestoes is amazing, both for it's unabashed opinions (A.E. Waite takes it on the chin a time or two)& the sheer force of intellect put forth.

For those who find it hard to take Crowley's somewhat loose style, Case is the "anti-Crowley." A familiarity with the Builders of the Adytum teachings is very helpful with the latter part of the book....

Sometimes you read a book and you know you are reading a great book; this is the feeling I had when I first read it a number of years ago.

This is an all time classic for anyone who is studying in the Western Mystery Tradition
