On October 10th, at 9:45 am, we invite you to our regular Open Forum meeting to discuss the Hebrew letter Kaph and Tarot Key 10.

“Kaph (C, as in “core,” or K, value 20; as a final letter, 500) means primarily “a curve,” which should be remembered in connection with the fact that in Tarot a wheel is attributed to this letter. Kaph is the hand of the man in the act of grasping. To grasp is to hold, to comprehend, to master. What can be grasped mentally is intelligible, clear, explicit, positive, definite, precise. These ideas, it will be seen, are in sharp contrast to the ineffability and abstractness of those which are related to Yod and the Hermit.

“Wealth and Poverty are the opposites attributed to the double letter Kaph. These are the extremes of property, the external signs of one’s grasp of circumstances.

“West is the direction attributed to Kaph…At the place of sunset, West symbolizes the completion of a day, or a cycle of manifestation – the closing of a circle or round of expression. This is in agreement with the closed hand. The close of a day’s work, with the setting sun, is related to such ideas as completion, accomplishment, mastery, success, and the like...

“Jupiter, the planet attributed to Kaph, rules the Zodiacal signs Sagittarius (Key 14, Temperance) and Pisces (Key 18, The Moon). Jupiter is also exalted in Cancer (Key 7, The Chariot)… Jupiter is called the “Lord of Fortune,” or the “Greater Fortune,” in contrast to Venus (The Empress) whom astrologers denominate the “Lesser Fortune…” Jupiter is said to govern the circulation of the blood, and circular motion generally…

“Intelligence of Conciliation, or Rewarding Intelligence of Those Who Seek, is the Qabalistic name for the mode of consciousness attributed to the letter Kaph. Conciliation is the adjustment of differences, the establishment of harmony and order, and thus is distinctly Jupiterian. This mode of consciousness is what brings perception of the law which fulfills the promise, “Seek and ye shall find.” Conciliation implies concord, agreement, sympathy, peace, amity, tranquility. The law here shown is that which reconciles apparent differences, that which enables us to harmonize the elements of existence, that which leads to the winning over of seemingly antagonistic forces, that which conduces to peace and prosperity.”
The Tarot, Paul Foster Case
