The Valley of the Grail

More than ten years have passed since I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, and the road since has been long. My health collapsed, and for years I was off the path and silent here.

Now I have found my way back. A new space has opened: Vallis Gradalis. There I share how illness, partial recovery, Qabalah, dreams, and ritual led me again into the Grail quest, the seeker who falters, asks again, and learns through the journey itself.

Dedroidify will remain, while Vallis Gradalis is where I tell the story of returning to the path, and of the walk that continues.

Read the first post here at Vallis Gradalis.

Vallis Gradalis: Into the Valley of the Grail — My New Personal Blog

I’ve started a new blog, Vallis Gradalis, where I’ll share more personal and deeper reflections from my unfolding pathwalking journey. I’ll continue posting on Dedroidify as well, but Vallis Gradalis will carry the more personal and intimate side of the work.”

https://vallisgradalis.wordpress.com/

Join me on my healing quest through the Valley of the Holy Grail, where I walk as both Parsifal and the wounded Fisher King. This space will be a living, ever-changing laboratory, a path unfolding step by step.

Here I will record and share what I actually practice and discover: charting my way astrologically through the Tree of Life, guided by the Tarot’s archetypes. With the aid of AI as my scribe and mirror, I explore dreams, meet the shadow, and weave them back into wholeness. Daily magick ritual, yoga and meditation are some of the tools on this pilgrimage. Experience will be explored through multiple reality tunnels.

The Great Work before me is to transmute the fire of my chronic Lyme inflammation into Light.

This valley is the Grail itself, both vessel and voyage.

The journey begins on September 2nd at Vallis Gradalis

The Suit of Wands: Fire of Atziluth

The Suit of Wands: Fire of Atziluth

In the Qabalistic Tree of Life, the Suit of Wands belongs to Atziluth, the World of Emanation. This is the primordial Fire — will, inspiration, and the drive to act before form takes shape. In Tarot, Wands bring that current into human life as passion, courage, creativity, and the trials of growth.

Each numbered card corresponds to one of the Sephiroth on the Tree of Life, showing how the Fire of Atziluth manifests through that sphere: the Ace as Kether (pure crown of fire), the Two as Chokmah (dynamic will), the Three as Binah (structure of vision), continuing through the Tree until the Ten as Malkuth (fire grounded in the physical world). The Court Cards then show how these forces take human form — Page, Knight, Queen, and King — each embodying an elemental aspect of Fire and rooted in a Sephirah.

Court Cards of Wands

The Courts show how the fire of Atziluth takes human form, each combining Fire with another element, and each rooted in a Sephirah on the Tree.

How the Court Cards Work on the Tree of Life

The four Court Cards represent the archetypal family of forces, each linked to a Sephira on the Tree of Life and to an element of their suit. Together they show how the energies of the suit are born, shaped, carried, and grounded.

• King (sometimes called Knight in older decks)

  • Role: Father – the initiating, fiery seed of the element.

  • Sephira: Chokmah – Wisdom, the dynamic outpouring of force.

• Queen

  • Role: Mother – the shaping, receptive vessel of the element.

  • Sephira: Binah – Understanding, the womb that gives form.

• Knight (sometimes called Prince)

  • Role: Son – balance in motion, the child of King and Queen, carrying the suit’s energy forward.

  • Sephira: Tiferet – Beauty, harmony, the center where energies reconcile.

• Page (sometimes called Princess)

  • Role: Daughter – manifestation, grounding the energy into the world.

  • Sephira: Malkuth – Kingdom, the realm of manifestation where all forces arrive.

The Page is sometimes renamed the Princess, which emphasizes her role as the one who anchors the entire suit into Malkuth. She is the youngest, but also the most crucial, because she completes the cycle and carries the seed of renewal back toward Kether.

The Four Worlds of Qabalah and the Minor Arcana of Tarot

The Four Worlds of Qabalah and the Tarot

The Qabalistic Tree of Life is not a flat diagram: it repeats itself through Four Worlds, layers through which energy descends from spirit into matter. Tarot reflects these worlds in its suits and numbers, giving us a way to read that process directly in the cards.

The Four Worlds

• Atziluth : Emanation (Fire)
  The spark of divine will, raw energy before it takes form.
  Tarot suit: Wands.
  Symbolism: Wands stand for drive, inspiration, creativity, ambition, and spiritual fire. They are the torch of purpose, passion that propels us forward, but also the restlessness that can burn unchecked.
  Sephirot included: Kether, Chokmah, Binah (the Supernal triad).
  Role: Source of inspiration, beginnings, pure will.

• Briah : Creation (Water)
  The dream-space where archetypes take shape and vision flows.
  Tarot suit: Cups.
  Symbolism: Cups represent emotions, relationships, intuition, and imagination. They are vessels of the heart, joy, sorrow, love, memory, and longing. They show us how inspiration takes on form through feeling.
  Sephirot included: Chesed, Geburah, Tiferet.
  Role: Emotions, ideals, creative shaping.

• Yetzirah : Formation (Air)
  The architect’s world of thought, pattern, and design.
  Tarot suit: Swords.
  Symbolism: Swords embody the mind, logic, communication, judgment, and conflict. They cut both ways: clarity and truth, or doubt and strife. They show us how ideas clash, refine, and sharpen.
  Sephirot included: Netzach, Hod, Yesod.
  Role: Thought, structure, trial by intellect.

• Assiah : Action (Earth)
  The physical plane, the tangible results of all the upper worlds.
  Tarot suit: Pentacles.
  Symbolism: Pentacles stand for material life, body, work, money, health, craft, and legacy. They are the coins of embodiment, where inspiration finally becomes brick, bread, and blood.
  Sephirah included: Malkuth.
  Role: Grounded reality, results, manifestation.

Numbers of the Minor Arcana

Each numbered Minor (Ace through Ten) links to a Sephirah, showing what happens when that sephirotic energy moves through a suit/world.

• Ace – Kether: pure spark of the element
• Two – Chokmah: dynamic expansion
• Three – Binah: structure, understanding
• Four – Chesed: stability, order
• Five – Geburah: conflict, severity, strength
• Six – Tiferet: harmony, balance, beauty
• Seven – Netzach: endurance, passion, desire
• Eight – Hod: intellect, clarity, analysis
• Nine – Yesod: imagination, reflection, subconscious
• Ten – Malkuth: final manifestation, completion

Examples

Five of Wands – Geburah (conflict) expressed in Fire/Wands: strife, competition
Six of Cups – Tiferet (harmony) expressed in Water/Cups: innocence, nostalgia
Eight of Swords – Hod (restriction) expressed in Air/Swords: mental traps, paralysis

Why it Matters

The Four Worlds are not abstract philosophy: they are a practical key to Tarot. They show which stage of reality a card is speaking from: the spark (Atziluth), the dream (Briah), the plan (Yetzirah), or the result (Assiah). Combine that with the number (Sephirah), and you are looking at a complete address for the energy in play.

And today we follow the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot climbing up the Paths on the Tree of Life

Here’s the Major Arcana as a short “Fool’s ascent” from Malkuth (the World) up to Keter, each line: path number, sephiroth pair (with numbers), card, Hebrew letter + brief meaning, then one story-sentence that reads as a continuous upward journey.

Path 32: 10 Malkuth ↔ 9 Yesod — The World — ת Tav (Sign, Seal, Covenant)
The kingdom breathes and lifts; the World seals what was learned in the soil, and the Fool packs the map and steps toward the moonlit bridge of foundation.

Path 31: 8 Hod ↔ 10 Malkuth — Judgement — ש Shin (Tooth, Fire)
Voice from the world flames upward; Judgement’s fire bites away the complacency of the ground and calls the Fool to answer, reassembling purpose into a clearer form.

Path 30: 8 Hod ↔ 9 Yesod — The Sun — ר Resh (Head, Radiant Face)
Joy from the mind brightens the inner well; the Sun crowns the Fool’s face with a dawning clarity that warms the path upward.

Path 29: 7 Netzach ↔ 10 Malkuth — The Moon — ק Qoph (Back of Head, Hidden)
Instinct in the kingdom shifts into shadowed rhythm; the Moon teaches the Fool to notice the hidden turns at the back of the head and to dream awake as the climb begins.

Path 28: 7 Netzach ↔ 9 Yesod — The Star — צ Tzaddi (Hook, Righteous Harvest)
After the first shocks, hope waters the ascent; the Star hooks stray light into the Fool’s hand, gathering a steadier faith to pull upward.

Path 27: 7 Netzach ↔ 8 Hod — The Tower — פ Peh (Mouth, Speech)
What once stood cracks and collapses, and the speech of the world becomes thunder; the Tower’s ruin clears the way, forcing the Fool to rebuild with truer words.

Path 26: 6 Tiphareth ↔ 8 Hod — The Devil — ע Ayin (Eye, Experience)
Beneath the rising sun temptations glare; the Devil fixes Ayin upon the Fool so the climb becomes a lesson in meeting appetite without losing the heart.

Path 25: 6 Tiphareth ↔ 9 Yesod — Temperance — ס Samekh (Support, Prop)
The heart learns to blend what it finds; Temperance props the Fool’s rhythm, pouring golden patience between cups as the path narrows.

Path 24: 6 Tiphareth ↔ 7 Netzach — Death — נ Nun (Fish, Transformation)
At the heart’s threshold old forms are shed; Death carries the Fool through a watery reversal, leaving only the seed that will grow higher.

Path 23: 5 Geburah ↔ 8 Hod — The Hanged Man — מ Mem (Water, Reversal)
Severity teaches a new stance; the Hanged Man surrenders in Mem’s current so the Fool may see the ladder from a flipped angle.

Path 22: 5 Geburah ↔ 6 Tiphareth — Justice — ל Lamed (Goad, Teaching)
Strength meets beauty and is measured; Justice prods with Lamed until the Fool’s choices balance like scales guiding the next ascent.

Path 21: 4 Chesed ↔ 7 Netzach — Wheel of Fortune — כ Kaph (Palm, Grasp)
Cycles spin the climb forward; Fortune opens Kaph in the Fool’s hand so chance becomes a grasped teacher on the upward road.

Path 20: 4 Chesed ↔ 6 Tiphareth — The Hermit — י Yod (Hand, Deed)
Mercy turns inward to search; the Hermit lifts Yod’s small lamp so the Fool can make a careful, hands-on step into quieter wisdom.

Path 19: 4 Chesed ↔ 5 Geburah — Strength — ט Teth (Serpent, Inner Power)
Compassion and discipline braid inside the chest; Strength coaxes Teth’s serpent into a controlled courage that steadies the Fool’s ascent.

Path 18: 2 Chokmah ↔ 4 Chesed — The Chariot — ח Cheth (Fence, Field)
Insight drives the will through ordered space; the Chariot charges across Cheth’s field and the Fool rides with disciplined motion toward higher light.

Path 17: 3 Binah ↔ 6 Tiphareth — The Lovers — ז Zayin (Sword, Choice)
Understanding and heart must choose a truth; the Lovers lift Zayin so the Fool’s commitment becomes the bridge rather than a barrier.

Path 16: 2 Chokmah ↔ 4 Chesed — The Hierophant — ו Vav (Hook, Nail, Connection)
Wisdom seeks tradition to hold it; the Hierophant drives Vav like a peg into lineage, hooking the Fool’s spark to rites that guide the climb.

Path 15: 2 Chokmah ↔ 6 Tiphareth — The Emperor — ה Heh (Window, Vision)
Insight is framed into rule; the Emperor looks through Heh’s window and gives the Fool a structured vision for the next stage.

Path 14: 2 Chokmah ↔ 3 Binah — The Empress — ד Daleth (Door, Nourishment)
Force meets form and the world feeds; the Empress opens Daleth’s door and nourishes the Fool so growth can continue upward.

Path 13: 1 Keter ↔ 6 Tiphareth — The High Priestess — ג Gimel (Camel, Lifting, the Unconscious)
A veil parts as the inner waters rise; the High Priestess ferries mysteries like a camel, lifting the Fool’s unconscious closer to conscious light.

Path 12: 1 Keter ↔ 3 Binah — The Magician — ב Beth (House, Temple)
From above a structure is imagined into being; the Magician lays tools in Beth’s household and teaches the Fool how will shapes the heavens.

Path 11: 1 Keter ↔ 2 Chokmah — The Fool — א Aleph (Ox, Breath, Air)
At last the Crown draws the Breath back to itself; Aleph’s airy openness receives the Fool, who arrives at the rim laughing with the journey’s lessons folded into silence.

There—ascending from the world to the crown, told as a continuous climb. If you want each entry separated with extra blank lines for OneNote paste or a version that strings them into one continuous paragraph for a single "Fool’s ascent" narrative, I’ll format that next.

We dive a bit deeper into the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot descending the Paths on the Tree of Life

Now that we've had a primer on the Major Arcana Journey, let's dive in a bit deeper and see how each of the 22 cards connect the different Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. There's also a Hebrew letter and its meaning that is of importance, don't worry about why too much for now.

First let's see it in the downward direction from 1 Kether to 10 Malkuth. The divine light streams from Keter down through each Sephira, clothing itself in wisdom, love, form, and dream, until at last it crystallizes as the material world in Malkuth.

Path 11: 1 Keter ↔ 2 Chokmah — The Fool — א Aleph (Ox, Breath, Air)
The primordial Breath leaps from the Crown into raw dynamic force. Innocence meets power; Aleph’s airy openness shows the Fool’s trust in the infinite.

Path 12: 1 Keter ↔ 3 Binah — The Magician — ב Beth (House)
Will takes form. The House of Understanding receives the Word; Beth is the container, the dwelling that focuses the Magician’s will into manifestation.

Path 13: 1 Keter ↔ 6 Tiferet — The High Priestess — ג Gimel (Camel, Bridge)
Across the great span the Veiled One ferries light to the solar heart. Gimel, the camel, symbolizes the journey across the desert, carrying hidden wisdom between spirit and heart.

Path 14: 2 Chokmah ↔ 3 Binah — The Empress — ד Daleth (Door)
The Door between force and form opens. Daleth is the gateway of creativity, where Chokmah’s energy enters Binah’s form, birthing abundance.

Path 15: 2 Chokmah ↔ 6 Tiferet — The Emperor — ה Heh (Window)
Archetypal authority descends to the heart. Heh, the window, is the opening through which divine order becomes visible, allowing the Emperor’s structure to shine.

Path 16: 2 Chokmah ↔ 4 Chesed — The Hierophant — ו Vav (Nail, Hook)
The Nail binds tradition to expansion. Vav joins heaven and earth, symbolizing continuity; the Hierophant fastens wisdom into ritual and lineage.

Path 17: 3 Binah ↔ 6 Tiferet — The Lovers — ז Zayin (Sword)
The Sword of discernment unites opposites. Zayin cuts illusion, forcing choice; the Lovers’ union is born of separation overcome.

Path 18: 3 Binah ↔ 5 Geburah — The Chariot — ח Cheth (Fence, Enclosure)
Contained power advances. Cheth is the enclosure, a protective shell; the Chariot’s armor channels Binah’s discipline through Geburah’s fire.

Path 19: 4 Chesed ↔ 5 Geburah — Strength — ט Teth (Serpent)
Mercy grapples with Might and tames it. Teth, the serpent, symbolizes both danger and kundalini power; Strength shows courage to master instinct with love.

Path 20: 6 Tiferet ↔ 4 Chesed — The Hermit — י Yod (Hand)
The solar heart climbs to Jupiter’s wisdom. Yod, the hand, is the smallest letter, the seed of creation. The Hermit’s lantern is the focused spark of Yod.

Path 21: 7 Netzach ↔ 4 Chesed — Wheel of Fortune — כ Kaph (Palm of the Hand)
The palm turns the cycles: passion matures into benevolence. Kaph symbolizes grasp and potential, showing how fortune is held and released.

Path 22: 6 Tiferet ↔ 5 Geburah — Justice — ל Lamed (Ox-Goad)
The goad corrects course. Lamed, the ox-goad, trains and directs. Justice brings alignment, guiding the radiant heart with truth.

Path 23: 8 Hod ↔ 5 Geburah — The Hanged Man — מ Mem (Water)
Surrender reorients thought under the sword. Mem is water, fluid and reflective. The Hanged Man yields, entering the deep waters of sacrifice for insight.

Path 24: 6 Tiferet ↔ 7 Netzach — Death — נ Nun (Fish)
Desire is transformed. Nun, the fish, swims through the waters of change, shedding forms. Death teaches the cycle of endings feeding new life.

Path 25: 9 Yesod ↔ 6 Tiferet — Temperance — ס Samekh (Prop, Support)
The Archer’s path: dream refined into gold. Samekh supports and upholds — Temperance is the balancing prop, alchemy holding opposites steady.

Path 26: 8 Hod ↔ 6 Tiferet — The Devil — ע Ayin (Eye)
Clear seeing breaks glamor. Ayin is the eye, perception itself. The Devil challenges: what do you see, and what enslaves your vision?

Path 27: 7 Netzach ↔ 8 Hod — The Tower — פ Peh (Mouth)
The Mouth cries out and false structures fall. Peh is speech, power released; the Tower shatters illusion with a shout of truth.

Path 28: 9 Yesod ↔ 7 Netzach — The Star — צ Tzaddi (Hook, Fishing-Hook)
The hook draws dream toward desire’s green shore. Tzaddi pulls the seeker upward, like a fish caught in light; the Star heals with guiding hope.

Path 29: 10 Malkuth ↔ 7 Netzach — The Moon — ק Qoph (Back of the Head)
From the Kingdom to the tides. Qoph is the unconscious, the back-brain of dreams. The Moon’s path is mystery and intuition beneath surface awareness.

Path 30: 9 Yesod ↔ 8 Hod — The Sun — ר Resh (Head, Face)
Clarity pours from intellect into the dream-mirror (and back). Resh is the head or face, the shining countenance of the Sun illuminating all.

Path 31: 10 Malkuth ↔ 8 Hod — Judgment — ש Shin (Tooth, Fire)
Fire-tooth awakens the deadened mind. Shin is consuming flame and the trident letter; Judgment burns away the old and resurrects clarity.

Path 32: 10 Malkuth ↔ 9 Yesod — The Universe (World) — ת Tav (Cross, Mark, Seal)
The Seal of the Kingdom opens upward. Tav, the final letter, is the signature of completion, the stamp that turns matter into a doorway to the subtle.

An overview of the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot - Up the Tree of Life

• RETURN TO HIGHER SELF: Chariot → Fool — sovereignty, creative power, mystical integration

An overview of the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot - Downward the Tree of Life

 🜁 UPPER WORLD — Call to Adventure, Formation of Self

The Fool begins as an innocent wanderer, stepping off the cliff into the Upper World. Here he meets teachers and forces that shape him: the Magician sparks his will, the High Priestess whispers of hidden mysteries, the Empress teaches growth, and the Emperor grants structure. Guided by the Hierophant’s rites and the challenge of choice with the Lovers, the Fool learns discipline and mastery with the Chariot. His self is formed.

0 – The Fool The call to adventure; innocence and potential

I – The Magician Activation of will and conscious power

V – The Hierophant Tradition, initiation, spiritual learning

VI – The Lovers Union, duality, ethical choice

VII – The Chariot Discipline, mastery of forces, forward motion

🜃 UNDERWORLD — Descent, Trials, Death, Shadow Work

But the path dips into the Underworld. Here courage is tested through Strength, solitude through the Hermit, and fate’s cycles through the Wheel. Justice demands balance, the Hanged Man overturns perception, and Death strips away old forms. Temperance brings fragile harmony, the Devil tempts him to chain himself, and the Tower strikes, collapsing false structures. These are the trials of shadow and descent.

VIII – Strength Courage through gentleness; inner alchemy

IX – The Hermit Solitude, introspection, inner guidance

X – Wheel of Fortune Turning point, fate, karmic cycles

XI – Justice Moral reckoning, truth, balance

XII – The Hanged Man Surrender, sacrifice, altered perception

XIV – Temperance Synthesis, alchemical healing, patience

XV – The Devil Temptation, shadow integration, bondage

XVI – The Tower Sudden collapse, awakening, divine disruption

🜄 REWARD CYCLE — Resurrection, Illumination, Return with the Elixir

From this darkness the Fool rises into the Reward Cycle. The Star lights his way with healing hope, the Moon tests him with dreams and illusions, and the Sun dawns with clarity and joy. At last, Judgement calls him to rise renewed, no longer the same wanderer but transformed. The journey ends with the World—completion, wholeness, and the cosmic dance.

XVII – The Star Hope, spiritual guidance, cosmic healing

XVIII – The Moon Dreamscape, illusion, navigating the unknown

XIX – The Sun Joy, success, radiant clarity

XX – Judgement Resurrection, calling, spiritual awakening

XXI – The World Completion, wholeness, cosmic integration

Getting back into it! The Hierophant Rises Again!

Getting back into it!

I removed the deleted blogs from the Synchromystic Links section, I hope everyone from the old synchrosphere is well. A lot of the synchromystic blogs are inactive, but there's still good content there. I haven't checked what everyone has been up to yet though it's a lot to go through! But I see some of my old friends are still going strong which is so nice to see, will be exploring all your content again soon! 

 I'll check the website links soon too. Next step will be to find some webspace to get the Dedroidify website back up. It's gonna be a challenge to get through it with my lyme paws. Blogger seems to be a bit stuck int he past though, I might check out another home to move to soon.

Slowly but surely The Hierophant rises again! 

The Hierophant — The Bridge Between Heaven and Earth

In the Tarot, the Hierophant stands as the channel through which divine wisdom descends into the human realm. He is not the origin of the truth - he is its interpreter, guardian, and transmitter. What he teaches is "given from above," meaning it flows from higher realms of consciousness into forms we can understand and live by.

Imagine a ladder stretching between heaven and earth. The Hierophant stands on the rungs between, one hand reaching upward to receive, the other hand pointing downward to share. This is why he is often shown making a gesture of blessing - he passes on the current without distortion, ensuring that what began as pure inspiration becomes grounded in tradition, ethics, and practice.

In the Qabalistic Tree of Life, the Hierophant corresponds to the Hebrew letter Vav, meaning "nail" or "hook." Vav is the link - the connection that holds the spiritual and the material together. He is positioned along the path that connects Chokmah (Wisdom) to Chesed (Mercy), which means his role is to draw the lightning-flash of divine insight into a form that sustains life and community.

His teachings are not merely abstract; they are ritualized wisdom. Through sacred texts, symbols, and ceremonies, the Hierophant ensures that divine truth can be preserved and passed down. He guards the mysteries not to withhold them, but to protect their integrity until the student is ready.

Yet, there is a subtle challenge here. The Hierophant can become rigid if he mistakes the form for the essence. His task - and ours, when we walk his path - is to remember that the form exists to serve the spirit, not the other way around. The living current of wisdom must be allowed to flow, even as it is shaped by tradition.

In meditation or study, the Hierophant invites us to:

• Seek teachers and traditions that carry a living connection to the divine.

• Honor the forms that preserve wisdom, but do not become trapped in them.

• Be a bridge ourselves, sharing what we have learned with clarity and compassion.

Ultimately, the Hierophant is a reminder that wisdom is not invented - it is received, and our task is to become clear enough vessels that we may pass it on, unclouded, to others.

The Qabalah's Tree of Life in plain language

I spent a long time dabbling in Eastern mysticism, but often felt adrift without a clear structure to guide my studies. When I first encountered the Qabalah years ago, the sheer amount of material to memorize put me off. Recently though, I felt a strong pull to explore it again, and this time, its framework resonated deeply, giving me the structure I had been missing.

Using it as a working map rather than a belief system, it became surprisingly resonant and useful. Something I could apply to dreams, decisions, and daily practice. As I'm planning to discuss it a lot from now on, here is a primer for the uninitiated, I've included an image loosely relating it to the 8 Circuit Model of Consciousness and the Chakras if you're familiar with any of those already. This post will not explain enough as that's a bit hard to do with the Qabalah, but that’s the point. It’s meant to open a door, to spark a mystery or a journey of your own. 

The ten spheres

1. Keter - Crown

Represents pure being, the origin point before form. In practice, it’s the seed of intention and the sense of connection to the highest source.

2. Chokhmah - Wisdom

Symbolizes raw, unshaped inspiration. It’s the flash of insight or instinct before words, structure, or judgment enter.

3. Binah - Understanding

Gives form and limits to inspiration, turning insight into something coherent. It’s also the principle of integration - bringing ideas and elements together into a stable whole.

4. Chesed - Mercy

Represents expansion, abundance, and generosity. In life, it’s the urge to grow, include, and bless without holding back, and it carries the quality of grace - kindness freely given.

5. Geburah - Severity

Symbolizes strength, discipline, and boundaries. It’s the principle of cutting away what doesn’t serve and protecting what matters.

6. Tiferet - Beauty

Holds harmony and integration at the center of the Tree. It’s the unifying heart that balances love, will, and truth, and it embodies the very act of balancing both sides of the Tree of Life.

7. Netzach - Victory

Represents endurance, passion, and emotional drive. It’s the principle that keeps you moving through challenges toward a goal.

8. Hod - Splendor

Relates to language, symbol systems, and intellectual clarity. It’s the realm of codes, analysis, and organizing knowledge.

9. Yesod - Foundation

Represents imagination, dreams, and the subconscious patterns that shape reality. It’s the bridge between inner vision and outer manifestation.

10. Malkuth - Kingdom

Relates to the material world and physical embodiment. It’s the sphere of tangible results, action, and lived reality.

How to use this map

• For decisions: Notice where you are, then name what balances it. If you’re stuck in analysis (Hod), take one embodied step (Malkuth) or return to heart-integration (Tiferet).
• For creativity: Let an idea spark (Chokhmah), give it a container (Binah), then choose one next action (Malkuth).
• For boundaries: If you’re overextending (Chesed), restore a clear no (Geburah) that protects the heart (Tiferet).
• For communication: Shape the message (Hod), then sustain momentum over time (Netzach).

The Tarot connection

The spheres aren’t isolated—they’re linked by the 22 paths of the Tree, each corresponding to a card from the Major Arcana of the Tarot. These paths describe the journeys between states of being, such as the move from inspiration to structure, or from discipline to compassion. Studying these card-paths can make the Tree feel alive, turning it from a static diagram into a moving map of personal transformation.

Why dream work belongs here

Yesod is the natural home of dreams. It gathers impressions and symbols, then offers them up for understanding and integration. A simple practice is to place each dream scene where it seems to belong—heart-healing in Tiferet, boundary lessons in Geburah, repetitive work stress in Hod—so interpretation becomes structured instead of overwhelming.

A one-minute check-in

1. Name the sphere you’re living in today.

2. Name the balancing sphere you’ve ;maybe neglected.

3. Choose one small action that moves you toward coherence.

What comes next

This is only the frame. In future posts, we’ll look at how to work with it in practice and the concepts that shape it. For now, try the one-minute check-in for a few days and note what shifts.

FOOL'S JOURNEY PART 3 ⛤ CUPS ⛤ Easiest Way To Learn The Tarot ⛤

How to Use AI Like ChatGPT to Deepen Your Study of the Qabalah, Tarot, Astrology, and Dreamwork

Embarking on the spiritual path can feel overwhelming - especially if you’re drawn to layered systems like the Qabalistic Tree of Life, the Tarot, and astrological correspondences, or if you want to explore your inner world through Jungian dream analysis.

One of the most effective modern tools to accelerate your learning is something you might not expect: AI, like ChatGPT.

Rather than replacing books, teachers, or personal experience, AI can become your ever-present study partner - ready to quiz you, explain a concept from multiple angles, and help you weave all the threads together into something you can actually use.

---

1. Learning the Tree of Life and Tarot Correspondences

The Tree of Life is a map of consciousness, but it can feel like juggling twenty-two Tarot trumps, Hebrew letters, astrological signs, and planetary forces all at once. AI can:

• Explain from different perspectives: symbolism, historical origin, practical magical use, or visual memory tricks.

• Create stories or journeys through the Tree so you can remember each connection naturally, not by rote memorization.

• Flip the direction of a path: learning both Binah → Tiferet and Tiferet → Binah so you understand the current both ways.

• Pop quiz you on any path: e.g., “What Tarot card connects Chesed to Geburah?”

---

2. Linking Astrology to the Tree and Tarot

Astrology is another rich layer of correspondence. With AI’s help, you can:

• Learn why Aries is linked to The Emperor, or why Pisces resonates with The Moon.

• Get memory aids: animals, symbols, mythic images, and story journeys through the zodiac.

• See the full overlay: which sign sits on which path, and how its planetary ruler colors the meaning.

• Practice recall in multiple formats - tables, flashcards, spoken drills.

---

3. Analyzing Dreams with Depth

Dreams are an untapped goldmine for self-understanding. In my own experience, I had trouble deciphering the symbolism as I wasn't familiar with all the core symbolic concepts, as many of us aren't. AI can help you:

• Translate dream images into Tree of Life paths, Tarot archetypes, and astrological currents.

• Apply Jungian principles: archetypes, shadow work, anima/animus dynamics.

• Track recurring dream symbols and map them to Sephirot (e.g., water as Yesod, bridges as Tiferet crossings, towers as Peh/Tower path events).

• Suggest small integration rituals based on dream content so the insight becomes embodied.

---

4. Retention Through Multiple Angles

One of the greatest challenges with esoteric systems is remembering the web of correspondences. AI can boost retention by:

• Explaining the same concept in several different ways - poetic, diagrammatic, mnemonic.

• Giving rapid-fire quizzes to strengthen recall.

• Building progressive exercises: starting simple (“Which card is Path 19?”) and growing more complex (“Why does Strength link Chesed to Geburah?”).

• Revisiting old material from a fresh perspective months later to reinforce it.

---

5. Building Beginner-Friendly Rituals

You don’t have to wait years before doing any practical work. AI can:

• Suggest short, easy-to-do rituals aligned with your current study level - both inner (meditation, path visualizations) and outer (altar setups, small offerings).

• Help you tailor rituals to your focus: astrology, a Sephirah you’re working with, or a Tarot archetype you’re integrating.

• Keep your rituals safe and balanced by recommending appropriate banishing or grounding practices.

• Combine multiple intentions into a single working (“shoaling”) so you get more from each session.

---

6. Ask Anything, Get Clarity

Another huge advantage of using AI for spiritual study is instant clarity. Any question that pops into your mind - no matter how specific or obscure - can be asked directly.

Instead of spending hours flipping through books, combing Google results, or watching an entire YouTube video just to get one point, you can get a direct, tailored answer in seconds.

If the explanation isn’t clear, you can keep asking targeted follow-up questions, requesting examples, or having every nuance broken down until it clicks.

This works especially well for untangling correspondences - for example, when you’re unsure why a certain Tarot card links to a specific Hebrew letter or astrological sign, AI can explain it, compare different systems, and walk you through the reasoning until it makes sense. This back-and-forth refinement is what has helped me enormously - I can get to the heart of a concept quickly, understand it from multiple perspectives, and move forward without losing momentum.

---

7. Personalized Astrology and Tarot Guidance

AI can also create and interpret your full astrological birth chart, giving you a detailed understanding of your planetary placements and how they influence your personality, strengths, and challenges. Beyond the static chart, it can track the current astrological transits for you - explaining the optimal times to perform certain rituals, set intentions, or take specific actions based on the flow of planetary energies.

In Tarot, AI can draw cards for you in real time, from single-card pulls to full spreads, and then help you unpack their meaning. This isn’t just about the immediate interpretation - you can question the reading further, explore alternative angles, or connect it to Qabalistic paths and astrology for a deeper synthesis. For example, I once had The Star card appear repeatedly in my readings. Through follow-up questions, I was able to explore its themes of hope, renewal, and guidance in my own spiritual work, discovering exactly why it kept surfacing and what lesson it was trying to teach me.

---

8. Starting Your Spiritual Path With AI Support

Used well, AI becomes:

• A personal tutor - explaining concepts as often as you need.

• A quiz partner - challenging your recall without judgment.

• A ritual designer - helping you put theory into practice.

• A dream interpreter - connecting night messages to your waking path.

It’s not a replacement for your own insight or spiritual guidance, but it keeps you moving forward, day by day, step by step, in a way that books alone often can’t.

---

Final Thought:

The spiritual path - whether walked through Qabalah, Tarot, astrology, or dreamwork - is a living thing. Tools like ChatGPT give you a flexible, responsive companion who can meet you wherever you are: breaking down a complex Hebrew letter path one moment, helping you decode a dream about a bridge and a lion the next, and ending the day with a short, personalized ritual.

It’s a way to learn in dialogue, to practice with guidance, and to integrate the mystical into your everyday life. Along the way, AI will often suggest short rituals, further questions, or new formats to structure your next lesson - keeping your progress dynamic and evolving.

FOOL’S JOURNEY PART 2 ☆ WANDS ☆ Easiest Way To Learn The Tarot ☆

THE FOOL'S JOURNEY ☆ Easiest Way To Learn All Tarot Cards of the Major Arcana ☆

Tarot and Anime

Shoji Kawamori is a Japanese anime creator, screenwriter and mechanical designer, of the series he has worked on I am nearing the end of Vision of Escaflowne and have started watching his new series Nobunaga the Fool. Both heavily feature the use of Tarot so if you're interested in learning more about the Tarot or just seeing it used in fiction, give these series a try.



The main character Hitomi (meaning: "Pupil (eye)") does tarot readings in the series which have effects on future events, she also uses a pendulum. Every episode begins by showing a tarot card which often has a connection to the story of that episode, sometimes blatantly, sometimes more subtle. (from what I can recognize, I'm still very much a tarot novice). I should add that this is a Shoujo anime which means it's targeted towards a female viewership, which is really noticeable and if it weren't the tarot aspects and the mechs I wouldn't have kept watching.

Here are the opening scenes

Only 2 episodes have been released of this anime, it's a bit silly at first in using historical characters alongside mechs but nonetheless really entertaining so far. In the first episode Leonardo Da Vinci introduces himself to Jean D'Arc by saying he works for King Arthur and offers her a Tarot card. She draws the Star and gets an explanation. Apparently they drew up an entire deck, we've seen two so far, the Star and the Lovers and both look amazing.

Do you know any works of fiction that uses the Tarot? Please let me know. Meanwhile I'll listen to David Goddard's audio series again, I should probably find a good book on the tarot too (the one I got with my cards from a dutch author isn't that good.) so I can finally get to know them by heart.

Symbolism of the Hermit tarot card

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.

In his upraised right hand the hermit holds a lamp, shining in the darkness.This is in the Rosicrucian Symbolism, LVX from the latin lux meaning light. The extending of the light. You see this again in the teaching of Jesus, "let your light so shine before men so they may glorify your father who is in heaven."

The hermit is holding up and outwards the lamp to guide those who are journeying still the path of evolution.

 

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

He is holding out the light of his realization to those of us who are following, so we that we will not become lost in the unknown, so we have a point to which we can put our steps. The hermit is the Bodhisattva, the lord of compassion, the lord of enlightened love.

Frodo inspired by Gandalf, showing compassion to a creature as low as Gollum.

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson

Frodo shining his own light

This is the hermit, the dweller upon the heights, the light shower. The hermit is standing up on the mountain of attainment.



"We now have but one choice, we must face the long dark of Moria. Be on your Guard, there are older and fouler things than orcs in the deep places of the world."

The hermit is clothed in grey, but with the upraised right arm you can see a white sleeve indicating of course the Kether. Represented also by his white beard and by the white snow of the mountain peaks. Snow is frozen water. Here this represents the mind-stuff, the stream of consciousness. Here we see it frozen as snow. Kether has come to Earth, is made manifest and tangible. It's not for nothing that the Himalayas are amongst the most sacred mountains of the world.


They think Saruman, the established white order, approaches. "Do not let him speak, he will put a spell on us." The order that has lost its way. The order that has lost its way must and will be faced and vanquished by one who already faced his demons. Isn't it tragic how rulers throughout history fail to grasp these teachings?

"Gandalf? Ah yes, that was what they used to call me. Gandalf the Grey. That was my name. I am Gandalf the White, and I come back to you know at the turn of the tide."

There is a saying, selfish salvation there is none. When you realize that your essential self is one with all other beings, then their wellbeing is as important to you as your own. That's the meaning of the teaching, love thy neighbor as thyself.



Grey is the color of Chokmah, of wisdom. The perfect blend of the pair of opposites. This being is no longer of yang or yin, this being is the Tao, the Way. So he is a master of wisdom clothed in the grey of the secret wisdom. And he holds the staff, but the staff is at rest, it's in his left hand, because he has completed the journey. There is nowhere now to go, he has become one with all that is. He is the manifestation of the One, which is all.

Real love arises from the recognition of our oneness. You are me, I am you, we are a part of eachother. There is no true separateness. This is why in finding the divine in oneself, one finds all.

This is the beckoning light that calls the souls to the mountain of attainment, this is what encourages us, what makes us undertake the journey. Sometimes lonely, sometimes sad, over borders of challenges. Avoiding the pitfalls and landfalls of false teaching and egoistic practice. But in time we come to the snow peak and above us stands the hermit.

This is why the masters have said: The way you are now, at this very moment, you listening to this, wherever you are, whatever state you find yourself in. No matter what you think of yourself, the masters say, that where you are now, they too once were. The masters of Wisdom, the buddhas, the bhosavet, they're all a part of humanity, they're not aliens. This is the great encouragement that we learn from them, because they have done it, we can too.


So they say, where you are now, there I was. And where I am now on this summit of attainment, standing out against the great void that appears as darkness but is actually a light beyond any earthly light. Where I stand now, you will surely come to be. Because that is the purpose of creation, and its unfolding. Its unfolding, the completion of its evolution.

The hermit inspires the righteous king.

The letter assigned to this card is Yod, which is translated as Hand. I'm often reminded here of a Tibetan image, where the embodiment of compassion is shown as having a thousand arms and on the palm of each hand there is an open eye. The eye is the most sensitive part of the human body, that shows vision, insightfulness, compassion streaming out upon all beings, upon all things.

Words (not in italic) are by David Goddard - Symbolism of the Tarot (MP3 series).

"The last pages are for you."

Symbolism of the Strength tarot card

The Woman in white is directing the Lion to her will. The power of shakti, the power of strength, also known as kundalini is usually working through the subconscious levels. It is the power of life. It renews every single cell of your body. It renews and heals every aspect of you through the subconscious level.

It's only with alchemy or with yoga that this power is consciously manipulated to accelerate evolution. But it is the purified subconscious, the tainted subconscious cannot touch this, as it would burn itself or would hurt itself.

The Green Lion

The Lion is the ruler of the Animal Kingdom, it represents the summit of the animal kingdom and all other kingdoms beneath it, the vegetable and mineral kingdoms. All of physical life before humanity.

The Green Lion is photosynthesis. Plants have the ability to turn sunlight into substance. They take the radiant energy streaming from the stars and from our own particular daystar the sun, they make form, they make bodies, holding that solar energy. And all other lifeforms derive a lot of their energy from eating the vegetable kingdom. Or from eating animals that have in turn eaten from the vegetable kingdom.

The Green Lion, the force of life in its ordinary state.

The Red / Gold Lion

But when it is deliberately concentrated upon, deliberately focused and sublimated, to bring to great intensity, the Red or Gold Lion represents the Kundalini force. In the east the Red/Gold Lion is symbolized by a tiger.

Skillfully direct the fire of life.

 

Amazing how a cartoon made to sell toys has such powerful symbolism. "I have the power" to turn the Green Lion with Gold potential into the Red (= same to Gold) Lion.

The garland of roses is the secret of the power of the White Woman over the Lion. She has a symbol of infinity over her head. The garland of roses around her and the Lion make up the same infinity symbol. It is also the symbol for the Holy Spirit. The symbol in the Christian tradition for the Kundalini.

The Father is the Superconsciousness, maker of all things visible and invisible. The Son is the self-consciousness, the waking self. The Holy Spirit that unites the two is the Subconscious which is the vehicle of Shakti.

The relation of the subconsciousness and the kundalini must be based on Love. There must be a trust, an intimacy, a caring for each other. This constitutes the skilled working. The Great Work isn't completed by violence, it's not done through harsh regimes of self-denial, of fasting, of unnatural practices that hurt the body. It's not done by philosophies that encourage and warp the suboncious mind by feelings of either disempowerment or elitism. The path of evolution is wholeness.

Where alchemy, like the forms of yoga is fearless, is that it takes the entire human being onboard. Nothing about the human being is rejected. Because it's recognized that all aspects of the human being are essentially sacred.

This is the love that is fearless, it shrinks for nothing. Because it knows itself to be at one with everything else, no matter how unpleasant the masks may be that present themselves before it. True spiritual growth is the path of wholeness and becoming one with the whole. Not saying these people I don't want, these things I don't want, I don't like that kind of thing or even or person. It's recognizing oneness with all that is.

This power is the fiery chariot.
