Title: Briyah
Translation: Creation
Controls: Saturn
Correspondence: High Priestess
The real story begins with the creation of the universe, the creation of humanity, the creation of a single soul. According to Kaballah, the universe was created when the Infinite withdrew part of itself into itself, leaving a small amount of itself in what was the center of itself. This small amount left in the middle is all of the matter in the universe. The High Priestess represents the primary female, the mother of all humanity. In its historical context, the High Priestess is a symbol of woman-centered spirituality. Christian Gnostics used this image to challenge the misogyny of the Catholic Church.

Correspondence: Empress
The child is no longer dependent upon its creator for its very survival. The child takes its first steps out into the world on its own. The Empress has traditionally symbolized the values of caring and nurturing.

Title: Dam
Translation: Blood
Controls: Mars
Correspondence: Emperor
The first lesson that a child learns upon entering this cold, cruel world is: brute force. In Hebrew, the planet Mars is MA'ADIM, which comes from the word ADOM, which means RED. The word ADOM, red, the colour of blood, comes from the word DAM, BLOOD. Mars is known as 'the red planet', and in Roman pantheon of gods, the god Mars is the god of war. Historically, the Emperor card has symbolized physical power and the waging of war.

Correspondence: Hierophant

Correspondence: Lovers
When the child reaches adulthood, they must make many choices that will alter their lives irrevocably. Choosing one path inevitably means forfeiting another. When our ancestors abandoned hunting and gathering in favour of farming, they chose the security of a constant food supply over the freedom of a nomadic lifestyle. When one choses to take on a lover, it may also mean estrangement from another lover. The two figures are loosely holding hands, but are also pointing in opposite directions, indicating their respective path of choice, choice of path.

Letter: Zayin
Title: Zera
Translation: Seed
Controls: Gemini
Correspondence: Chariot
Work begins with the planting of seeds. The chariot and its rider are symbols of control. To plant seeds in the ground, to farm the land, is to control it, to wield power over it.

Title: Chok
Translation: Law
Controls: Cancer
Correspondence: Justice
When our ancestors chose an agrarian lifestyle, a new class arose among them: a group of people who did not produce food in and of themselves, but who determined for the entire group how their food surplus would be distributed. This secular elite imposed laws on the people and collected taxes from them. There are three components to Law: a legislative component (symbolized by the figure on the left), an executive component (symbolized by the figure on the right), and a judicial component (symbolized by the figure in the centre). Justice is about achieving balance. Ideally, social justice is about the equal redistribution of wealth.

Letter: Tet
Title: Teva
Translation: Nature
Controls: Leo
Correspondence: Hermit
Another class of people arose at this time: the priestly class. Members of this religious elite lived like hermits; they withdrew themselves from human contact and the comforts of the physical world in order to live a truly spiritual life, at one with nature. The people would bring them food, and receive their blessings. If Zayin is the work, and Chet is the taxes that we pay from our gross, then Tet is the charity that we distribute from our gross.

Translation: Harvest
Controls: Virgo
Correspondence: Wheel of Fortune
After part of our food surplus has been redistributed by others, and after part of our food surplus we have voluntarily redistributed ourselves, we reap what we have sown, and we enjoy the fruits of our labour. On a Wheel of Fortune, an object is cast, and eventually, the forces of nature determine where it will land. The die has been cast, and now we wait for the process to come to its logical conclusion. We have worked hard, and now we wait for our efforts to bear fruit.

Title: Ko'ach
Translation: Strength
Controls: Sun
Correspondence: Strength
When a society produces a food surplus, it is then able to support another class of people who do not farm: a military class. And when produce is created, and declared to be the exclusive property of the society that produced it, it presents an attractive target to outsiders. The society raises an army to defend its food stores from these outsiders.

Title: Leched

Correspondence: Hanged Man
Once a society supports a standing army, the army's orientation quickly turns from a defensive one to an offensive one. When inter-cultural contact is initiated, it is often made by a small expeditionary force of the powerful group, and this force declares its intentions to be peaceful, represented here by an open hand. The local peoples accept the newcomers, but as soon as the newcomers establish a foothold in this new territory, they will attempt to conquer the territory by military means, represented here by the closed fist, hidden behind the back. The Hanged Man has historically signified being suspended in time, waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak.

Title: Nisu'in
Translation: Marriage
Controls: Scorpio
Correspondence: Temperance
After indigenous resistance has been crushed, the colonial power institutionalizes its control by forcing the conquered people to submit to domination. The two sides contract into a relationship of explicitly unequal terms.
For most of history, the institution of marriage has traditionally meant the institutionalization of patriarchal control. Temperance is the combining of two different elements, creating a new entity.

Translation: Order
Controls: Sagittarius
Correspondence: Devil
Colonialism has been institutionalized, and the people have been enslaved. Tilt your head to the left, and the figures look like they are on their hands and knees, crawling as slaves once did. Tilt your head to the right, and the figures are sitting at desks mindlessly typing away on computers, or holding on to a steering wheel, driving like drones through rush-hour traffic, as slaves do today. The Devil card is interpreted to mean the imposition of authority, structure, the loss of freedom.

Tremors ripple across the land. The status quo is shaken, and the powers that be, in their ivory towers, are no longer safe. The Tower is generally depicted being struck by lightning, beginning the process of dissolution.

Correspondence: Fool
When you know the Truth -- that life is to live -- then you can only live a life of Truth: a life free of worry and fear, full of faith in yourself and in the universe. To others that have not reached this level of conciousness, you will appear a "fool": someone who leaps in head first, who does not fear for their own safety, or for their own future.
