Kabalistic writings of Israel Regardie and Eliphas Levi

Posted by John Peter Giunta on July 8, 2010 at 6:49pm

Hello Fratres and Sorors.

The books, A Garden of Pomagranates, by Israel Regardie and The Book of Splendours, by Eliphas Levi are classics of the Kabala.  Both of the books--and other books written by AMORC-referenced authors-- refer to the Kabala as having correspondences to the Tarot and vice versa.

Some years ago, I spoke with the Imperator, Frater Christian Bernard at a Regional Conclave in the Atlantic Region.  He said at the time that AMORC was considering reviving some interest in the Tarot.

What are your thoughts?

Sincerely and fraternally,

Frater John

    Such a review would be very useful...I'd love to see such a thing.

    I hope you do this!

    With best wishes for Peace Profound,

    Go to the AMORC webpage, then go to the "Salons Home" page, then go to the "Charles Williams: The Greater Trumps" page. There you will find a bibliography for the Tarot. I have read some of those books and can review them for the group.

    I would love to give a talk soon.

    Light, Life and Love,

    Hello Dear John,

    That would be great. If some Fraters and Sorores are interested in learning about the Tarot, we would ask the Grand Lodge for some materials and we could go for it!

    Atlantis Lodge has a class on the Kabbalah. it would be great to have a class on the Kabbalah, also one on the Tarot, in Virginia. What would we do without you John!

    Thank you so much for thinking about this and for Spreading the Light,

    Best in Peace Profound,

    Eventhough I know next to nothing about Kabala and its correspondence to the Tarot, I think it is a good idea for the Order to revive interest on it. I will surely be very much involved in something like this.

    Peace Profound
