~ A Visit with the cards ~ All of the cards shown here are designed by Pamela Coleman Smith for Arthur E. Waite. These cards are considered the standard, and although there are a few symbols that are meant to confuse (since Waite was a member of a secret society and was not supposed to publish the esoteric information provided in the cards), they are for the most part an excellent deck to study and use for readings. The Tree of Life (seen at right) is an esoteric application of the cards as they relate to each other and to the Universe, or All That Is. It is an explanation of a path to the creator - and all the major arcana cards have been placed on the paths to help explain the journey and the card. As with all metaphysical studies, an explanation and understanding of the Tree of Life would take lifetimes. |
