The most important meaning to understand about Key 6 (per CaseвЂ™s writings): this is the key of discernment, and how to harness the alchemical powers of harmonizing opposites. In very simple terms it is this: Superconsciousness (the angel) sheds its influence impartially upon both self-consciousness (the man) and subconsciousness (the woman).

Of Key 6, Case writes: вЂњThe principal lesson of this Key is of importance to all who wish to make best use of their powers. The Inner School or Inner Tradition thus refers to an esoteric approach to the cards. These references are in contrast to an exoteric approach to religion or here, divination. DonвЂ™t quote me here, but I think this is the same reference Robert Wang makes in An Introduction to the Golden Dawn TarotВ when he describes his Mathers-based deck as being based on the Inner Tradition. The Tarot is not a plaything, nor is it only a pack of cards designed for the purposes of fortune telling.вЂќ From вЂњThe Great AdventureвЂќ booklet published by B.O.T.A.Д¬ase makes reference to the Inner School, where and how occult wisdom is kept alive and passed on through the tarot cards. вЂњThose who seek to find in the Tarot an easy method of spiritual development will be disappointed. It is intended for the use of serious aspirants who are in search of spiritual enlightenment. вЂњThe tarot is a textbook of occult teachings.

His tarot school of thought runs contrary to much of what you see of contemporary tarot as itвЂ™s gone mainstream (or what I call вЂњfast food tarotвЂќ). Little snippets here and there do date CaseвЂ™s texts, such as the explanation for why The Emperor follows The Empress: вЂњA man cannot be master of his household until his mate has had children.вЂќ (On Key 4: The Emperor, Lesson Three, An Introduction to Tarot) Or making reference to Asians as Orientals, which hey, IвЂ™m no mad at all. That text also includes all coloring instructions for the deck, and esoteric card meanings for the Majors. From Highlights of the Tarot (1931)ДЄs we do this look-through of the card images, IвЂ™ll also be referencing вЂњHighlights of the TarotвЂќ (1931) a pamphlet published by Paul Foster Case and a B.O.T.A. Key 5: The Hierophant, for another example of CaseвЂ™s texts on the cards, is assigned the function of Hearing, or more particularly, Interior HearingвЂ“clairaudience. The Empress, significantly, features a string of seven pearls and a crown of twelve stars for her connection to Urania, Muse of Astronomy. вЂњSTONE is an esoteric word representing Union, Life, and Wisdom,вЂќ writes Case.

The binary dark and light stone cubes forming the base of the pillars is also symbolically importantвЂ“ any time you see stone cubes, pay attention. The tarot High Priestess is a personification of Prakriti, a feminine primordial aspect of all life forms. Key 2 endows us with the power of recollection. Key 2: The High Priestess is memory and record-keeping of the past. This deck review will also cover CaseвЂ™s discourse on tarot card meanings as found in his Introduction to Tarot published in 1922.Д¬oloring instructions for the deck can be found in Tarot Fundamentals (1936).В The background for the Fool card, for instance, should be yellow, the garment green, violet mountains, the eagle pictured on his knapsack is brown, a white sun, the Fool is flesh-toned, with blond hair, etc.

I have a free two-part video lecture that was part of Sightsee the Tarot on Tarot of the Bohemians. Levi took his inspiration from the French occultist Dr. In Learning Tarot Essentials, Case traces the connection of the tarot to the occult to a revival that happened in 1854, credited to Eliphas LeviвЂ™s Doctrine and Ritual of Transcendental Magic.
