"The Tarot is a book, disguised as a pack of cards."
The Tarot, Paul Foster Case

In Open Forum, we discuss the story that these cards tell.

In January, we will be discussing the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Daleth. Daleth means "door." It is associated with Key 3, The Empress.

“Daleth (D, value 4) originally signified the leaf of a door – that which admits or bars; but it also symbolizes that through which something passes. On this account some writers say Daleth represents the womb, as the door of life.

“The door itself, then, suggests defense, protection, preservation, safe-keeping, conservation, and related ideas. This is a clue to the mode of consciousness represented by Daleth. We shall find that this mode of consciousness has to do with personal safety, with self-preservation, with defense against trouble and disease, and with the storage, conservation and development of all that is useful to us.

“The idea of passage suggested by the doorway brings to mind both ingress and egress, motion into and motion out from. It also suggests transmission, diffusion, dissemination, separation (as when one thinks of a door as the means of leaving a house), and so division, apportionment, partition, administration. All these ideas are definitely connected with the mode of consciousness represented by Daleth.”
The Tarot, Paul Foster Case

Join us on Saturday, January 10, to discuss this fascinating letter and Key.

This meeting is open to the public, and we welcome everyone interested in metaphysics to join us and learn more about the Holy Qabalah and Sacred Tarot.

The Qabalistic Vibratory Attunement is an Aquarian Age form of group meditation. We use techniques of the science of sound and color to send healing energies into the world.

Open Forum meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Builders of the Adytum is a teaching and training order in the Western Mystery tradition founded by Paul Foster Case in 1922.
