Ever wondered how to interpret the elaborate geometric patterns on the pip cards of Marseilles style decks? Well, a recording of this webinar is just what you need! In this presentation, Christine Payne-Towler discusses some of the Mysteries that underpin the patterns, thus revealing a system for interpreting the pip cards. She shows how the principles of Number and a philosophical approach that sees architecture as a model of interior or psychological space, provide a deeper level of understanding about the structure of the Tarot.
With reference to the the oldest Tarots, Christine investigates the inherited Western Tradition regarding the numbers. Dynamics from the Pythagorean Tetractys and the Kabbalah Tree are reviewed, as well as ideas about the patterns formed on the faces of the Pips by the suit symbols.
Christine maintains that beyond the core concepts of 1 – 4, one finds a whole philosophy of ratios and proportions that informs the intervals of music, art, architecture, astrology and also Tarot. And of course, the Hermetic Cosmos of Astrology underpins all the other Mysteries related to the Numbers.
