Portland Tarot Study Group

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

The Tarot cards related to Hod are the four Eights. There will be a brief discussion about how the Eights relate to the Four Worlds. We will spend most of the first hour comparing the images on the Eights 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 Hod on the Eights 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 eighth Sephirah, Hod, and the Eights are covered on pages 103 - 108).

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

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.
