Over the last 24 hours I have been receiving a new vision. It started with a tree fallen across a road, with people behind it blocked from moving forward. Before you think, wow, he’s just noticed that there is global warming, and the forests and jungles of the world are in serious trouble from logging, this wasn’t the tree I was seeing. This morning when I looked, the picture had changed, and there were now now trees falling down and disintegrating all over the place. These trees are the Tree of Life, so we are witnessing the end of a spiritual phase and the beginning of a new Spiritual Era. So what is this new Era? I am not exactly sure, maybe the destruction has to continue for a while. Certainly the doubts about the Tree of Life will increase. I am a lone voice in the wilderness, so it is not up to me, but I abandoned the Tree last year, and took the challenge of working out what will replace it. First of all, the Golden Dawn used the Tree of Life to promote the Tarot. The Victorian thinking that all one had to do was classify everything, and you would know everything still reigns supreme in kabbalistic and tarot thought. The result of this was to emasculate the powers of the Tarot – it is subservient to an alien system that is rigid and intolerant, unable to evolve, full of blocks to progress. A good example of this is Liber 777, which seeks to classify magical, spiritual and religious phenomena in terms of the paths and sephiroth on the Tree. Liber 777 has been a bible for me for many years, but to be honest, I have been relying more and more on my excel spreadsheet for the gematria, which grows steadily. I got to think about what was most useful about Liber 777 was the Sepher Sephiroth, the gematria section at the back, and that I rarely consulted the larger Table of Correspondences. There was the epiphany, I could safely abandon Liber 777. If you think about it, when was the last time you did a Tarot reading that made you think of iron, sulphur, tobacco, ruby, and the basilisk? Could you tell me what tarot card I am referring to? I had to look them up to write them in this post. When used properly, the entire tarot deck will supply you with the information you require, and it is the combination or permutation of the cards that reveals what you need to need to know, not an individual card. Just what a Spiritual Universe without the Tree will look is going to be interesting. I have a bet that it will look like it always did, but we never noticed.

My province was to see that the designs – especially those of the important Trumps Major – kept that in the hiddeness which belonged to a certain Greater Mysteries, in the Paths of which I was travelling… I saw to it therefore that Pamela Coleman Smith should not be picking up casually any floating images from my own or another mind. She had to be spoon-fed carefully over the Priestess Card, that which is called the Fool and over the Hanged Man.
