The Twenty-Two Letters

Every letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a living path on the Tree of Life. Each page has two parts: first, what that path feels like when it is flowing and when it is strained, in plain terms you can recognise from your own life; then the letter, planet, card, and path behind it, for anyone who wants to study the mechanics. If a reading has ever named one of these for you, this is where you can come to understand what it meant.

The Seven Doubles

Each carries a pair of opposite outcomes and a planet whose strength or weakness tips the balance. These are the paths a reading speaks to most directly.

The Twelve Simples

The signs of the zodiac, one to a letter, each naming a single faculty and the two ways it can run. These letters read the same in this system and the Golden Dawn.

The Three Mothers

The elements at the root of it all: air, water, and fire, and the two ways each can move through a life. These letters read the same in this system and the Golden Dawn.
