| CHAPTER VII CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MAJOR AND MINOR ARCANA GENERAL AFFINITIES KEY OF THE TAROT General figure giving the Key to the Tarot CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MAJOR AND MINOR ARCANA |
THE Pentacles on one side, the Ternary of transition on the other, establish the connection between the major and
minor arcana.
This connection is found in the general affinities of the four letters of the tetragrammaton.
The 1st septenary, which corresponds to yod, governs all the correspondents of yod in the minor series, that is to say-
The 4 Kings.
The 4 Aces.
The 4 Fours,
The 4 Sevens.
Each element of the septenary governs different terms, thus-
THE FIRST SEPTENARY

* The signs +, -, ∞ indicate: the sign + the positive terms, the sign - the negative terms, the sign ∞ the neuter terms.
The second septenary, corresponding, to He, governs all the correspondents of the first He, in the minor series, that is
to say-
The 4 Queens.
The 4 Twos.
The 4 Fives.
The 4 Eights.
Each element of the second septenary has the following dominations-

The third septenary corresponds to Vau, and rules over-

Value of the signs +, -,and ∞.
The signs which follow each card in the preceding lists define the exact value of the card. One example will suffice to
make this clearly understood.
Each term can be taken in two principal acceptations: in the positive (+) or in the negative (-). The same rule applies to
the sub-divisions of these terms.
For instance, the correspondents of the first septenary are 1 and 4.
1 is the positive (+)
4 is the negative (-)
1 governs two minor arcana: the King of Sceptres and the King of Swords.
The King of Sceptres is positive.
The King of Swords is negative.
The definite value of these terms would therefore be-1st King of Sceptres.
Positive (+) of the positive (+);
or
King of Sceptres
+ +
2nd King of Swords.
Negative (-) of the Positive (+);
or more simply
King of Swords
+ -
The same rule applies to the other terms in combining the sign which follows the major arcanum with that which follows
the term under consideration.
The value of each of the 78 cards of the Tarot is thus defined.
