Gnostic Tarot, Gnostic Kabalah, and the Authentic Path of Initiation
In the Gnostic tradition, Tarot and Kabalah are profound tools that illuminate the spiritual journey. Let’s explore some key ideas related to their study:
The Divine Energies and the Language of Nature:
- Language is a manifestation of power and energy. It reveals internal forces that radiate outward.
- Nature itself has a unique language. Every entity expresses itself according to its inherent nature.
- The physical Word represents the crystallized, living part of this expression, while the intangible and eternal aspect is the physical alphabet.
- Nature, in all its forms, becomes a living, indestructible writing—a sacred hieroglyphic. Each entity mirrors what lies within it.
- The entire Universe is an open book of Truth and divine Love, with every form serving as a beautiful hieroglyphic1.
Tarot and Kabalah in the Gnostic Tradition:
- The Gnostic Egyptian Tarot is a valuable resource for this study. It associates each Tarot card with a Number and a Hebrew Letter.
- For example, the Magician (or Magus) corresponds to Number 1 and the Hebrew letter Aleph (א).
- We delve into the symbolism of each card and its connection to the Path of Regeneration—the esoteric spiritual path present in all authentic religious traditions.
- Three essential books inform our exploration:
- Manual de Magia Práctica (1954) (available in English as Practical Astrology and Magic, Alchemy, and the Great Work)
- Curso Esotérico de Kábala (1969) (available in English as Alchemy and Kabbalah in the Tarot: Esoteric Course of Kabalah)
- Tarot y Kábala (1978) (available in English as Tarot & Kabbalah: The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabalah)
