Portland Tarot Study Group

At this meeting we will focus on the meaning and attributions of the sixth Sephirah on the Tree of Life, Tiphareth.

The Tarot cards related to Tiphareth are the four Sixes. There will be a brief discussion about how the Sixes relate to the Four Worlds. We will spend most of the first hour comparing the images on the Sixes from the Tarot decks that have grown out of the Hermetic tradition such as the Rider-Waite-Smith, The Thoth Tarot, and The Golden Dawn Tarot. In addition to the Qabalistic influence of Tiphareth on the Sixes we will look at how astrology, numerology, and color symbolism relate to the imagery of each card. We will continue to use Robert Wang’s book, Qabalistic Tarot, as our main text. (The sixth Sephirah, Tiphareth, and the Sixes are covered on pages 88 – 94).

The second half of the meeting will be spent doing practice readings related to the Sixes.

Although the Tree of Life will continue to be the focus of study for one meeting each month, people new to Tarot or Qabalah are welcome.
