There is a deep and beautiful way to
communicate with Spirit, using Tarot and
the Tree of Life. This tradition has many
variations, but basically stems from esoteric
associations between Hebrew Mysticism,
Hermetism, Gnosticism and Christian
magic, using the Hebrew alphabet, the Tree
of Life, numerology, Gematria, and Tarot
to create a world of sound and color and
images that evokes higher levels of
consciousness to the serious student of this
eclectic tradition.
The purpose of this section is to give you
general impressions about the use of
Qabalah and Tarot.
Notice also the many ways to spell this
word: Kabbalah, Qabbalah, Cabalah,
Qabalah. Some spellings were associated
with mystery schools, cultures, traditions,
but that may not be the case nowadays. I
apologize if the various spellings I use
might offend anyone.
The Jewish Encyclopedia, for example, uses
CABALA, which is also the way it's
spelled in Spanish (i.e. la Cábala)..

We cannot invoke the Great Ones by chanting songs, for the only music that they can hear
is the song of the lives we live. Many are the intelligences and planes of Nature which we
attract by the power of invocation during our wanderings in the lower worlds; but always,
regardless of what they may appear to be, they are drawn not by the things we say but by
the things we do.
The Qabbalah is a science by which the sacred name is learned, and the secret of the
Qabbalah is that your own life is the word; and, whatever that is, that will you invoke.
Man is the living magician, juggling with the elements of Nature. He is the living ritual,
the living secret, and the living magic of the Qabbalah.
