Hi Sapphyre, I am not sure what you mean by 'count the tarot'? Can you explain a bit more please?

We are running a tarot course right now that might help you in the Mystic Academy

Hi, and thanks for replying.
I'm not sure how to explain this except it is called the The Tarot and "Liber 777"
It is connected to the Quabala as far as I can tell and begins with an overview of a Table that has four rows...I'll give a few examples:

Title                     Description                  /    /   /
_________________________________________
Hebrew names      The Hebrew names
                           of numbers and          2     Q
                           letters

English names                                        3     Q

Conscious of        
Adept                                                     4

God Names in       Assoc. with
Assiah                 Sephiroth                    5      Q

(a few more associations and then

The Sword and    
the Serpent          The Flaming Sword
                          follows the Path of
                          the Sephiroth......
                         The Serpent of
                         Wisdom folllows the       9      Q
                         Path of the Tree of
                         Life upwards from
                         Malkuth There are
                         no entries for these  
                        in the following tables.

Mystic Numbers                                     10      Q
of the Sephiroth


anyway, this table goes through a number of Elements and Planetary rulers,   Egyptian Gods,  Hindu Deities, Precious stones and so on.. each having a corrosponding (decending order) number, and some have letters either Q or A.

Table five has listings such as "Ten Divisions of the body of God", "The Heavenly Hexagram", "Pairs of Angels ruling WANDS", "Pairs of Angels Ruling CUPS", etc, "Titles and attributions of Wands, Cups", etc, and following tables  are called "Fives of Tarot cards",  Sixes and Princes etc, etc, etc.
It is majorly confusing, the numbers range up to 198, but are associated with so many different topics (Deities, colors, elements, the body.....I am not sure what to make of the whole thing.
The web address is: supertarot.co.uk  If you have any suggestion as to whether this is even a legit system (this is the first I have heard of it) and I have read the Tarot for a very long time.
The following courses teach the usual readings but add in comparing Air/Earth/Fire/Water to not only the minor arcana but also the major arcana, adding that:
one should remember to count the pairs and add up the numbers, but there seems to be no explaination as to how to add or why to pair up?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Thank-you for taking the time to post that up for me.

Butl I am biased lol, I teach tarot the way I do because, it works for me and I know its clear, simple, easy and people enjoy the course. That site is a commercial site that charges a lot of money for readings from 'real tarot readers'. Perhaps by making it seem so complicated they feel they can charge high prices?

Anyway its not up to me to debate anothers work and course. If you are enjoying it then be patient and work through it. But to be honest I don't see that it would be fair for me to spend my time and energy typing the explanation and clearer details of another persons lesson. If their course is confusing or unclear then perhaps you should take it up with them?  Or better still take our course? We will be covering every aspect of tarot.

Hi!
Thank you for your reply, it was more or less what I expected.
As with yourself, the Tarot has always been straighforward for me, until I ran across that site.
Always one to seek knowledge or new understanding, I thought I would try and tackle a few "free" lessons.  Which is why the confusion I suppose, now that I think about it, your comment on "making it seem difficult" is likely the way to entice one to pay for the entire course.
I would, however, be interested in the course you mentioned. As I am in the midst of a hectic move and studies at the moment, I don't want to add to the load until I get relocated and settled.
I WILL then take the time to investigate your course, learning new perspectives is always a good idea (if from the right source) and the caution and grace with which you replied tells me you have true intuition.
Thanks again, and I will be back!!
