"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 February, we will be discussing the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Heh, Key 4, The Emperor.

Heh (H as in “honor,” or E, value 5) is pronounced “hay.” It means “window,” (literally wind-door). A window admits light (knowledge) and air (Life-breath, spirit) into the house (Beth) of personality. It also permits outlook, survey, supervision, control, and so on. Architecturally, windows are derived from doors. Furthermore, since they permit a survey of persons approaching a house, they enable the inhabitants of the house to decide whether to open the door to admits friends, or to bar it against enemies. The most important thing about a window is transparency, and this takes us back to the mode of consciousness attributed to the Magician.

Sight is the sense function attributed by Qabalists to the letter Heh. Vision, inspection, reconnaissance, watchfulness, care, vigilance, examination, calculation, analysis, induction, inquiry, investigation, and the like, are all associated in language. All depend largely on the sense of sight. Thus, we may expect to find the mode of consciousness associated with this letter one which is active in this kind of mental operation.

Constituting Intelligence is the name given it in the Hebrew wisdom and is said to “constitute creation in the darkness of the world.” To constitute is to make anything what it is, to frame, to compose. Constitution is closely related to authorship. The author of anything is its producer, originator, inventor, founder, begetter, generator, architect and builder. Authorship is therefore closely connected in our thought with paternity, and paternal authority depends on the fact that the father is head and founder of the family.
The Tarot, Paul Foster Case
