Studying the Tarot

[tadeus]

Wait, so these are the Egyptian images which were referred to in the Ra Material? They are on the walls of a temple in Memphis? Can you explain the backstory to this?

No - this egyptian material is found additional.

Maybe i should explain.
The cards from the Ra-material are not explained complete and have a complete other cultural background.
So somebody else and me have looked around for other material in hope to get a complete view on it.

So we found first a book "Tarot from Elisabeth Haich", that is basing on the Wirth-deck. It is used by the Rosenkreuzer and is the base for the Marseille-deck.
This Wirth-deck is closer to the Ra-Deck as the Rider-Waite-deck and the symbolism of colors is explained in the book.

This other book from Woldemar von Uxkull is showing the old egypt sybolism that is quite close to the Ra-deck.
The book is explaining the old initiation in egypt.

I was curious to learn something about "other" ways of initiation hopefully to get a better understanding to the Ra-archetypes.
I am on the way to do this and can say that it is helpful to have other (complete) views on the symbolism.
But so far i could find out that nobody is using the way to learn the archetypes as described in Ra 88.24 ...

The images I have used in this thread are from the Builders of the Adytum Tarot deck. It’s a modified Rider-Waite deck basically. Except certain aspects of symbolism are unveiled and ordered more properly. It’s my favorite deck so far.

Hmmm - maybe i should have a look on this deck.

I think it would make sense to compare the different symbolism.
But at least this should help to understand the systematic delivered by Ra.

I stay away from Crowley’s Thoth deck now because the symbolism is too convoluted to convey a clear meaning. And when it does it tends to a more negative interpretation. It’s based on the negative channeling of a book called “the Book of the Law”. So Crowley took it upon himself to change attributions and the order of some cards and letters. It doesn’t truly fit or make sense. But that’s just my opinion.

Yes - the magic of Crowley is a very different view on the plan of the one infinite creator.  
So it is not surprising that he is using another symbolism.
