Good points...but, I'm not sure John Opsopaus "predicated" his Tarot on Hebrew letters. When you say this, you are agreeing that there are 22 Major Arcana...
J.O. accepted without question [He didn't do his DD (due diligence) on the number of Major Arcana being '22']. All Tarot experts know where that number comes...
I'm not saying JO did. Now these Kabbalists you cite state that there's no association...to me they are either disingenuous or fools which is a card they might...
Frankly, it's one of the best Tarot decks and books I've ever seen. I think since the Tarot has never been purely a Pythagorean system and has been interwoven...

I respect your opinion, Jim, and I'm sure the deck has its commendable points. However for me it will never represent a true Pythagorean Tarot. It's an...

I recently read a book, Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition by Frances A. Yates, U of Chicago Press, 1964. Although I am not particularly interested in...
Sawmi, Naturally it will all come down to how you chose to define Pythagorean. If we define a Pythagorean as someone who follows Pythagoras' example in the...

I think that the received wisdom about Pythagoras et al. involves some misunderstanding about the ancient's views about number (mathematics). As a consequence...
I think that one may dispute many particular theses of particular Pythagorean thinkers in antiquity and still be a Pythagorean if one ascribes to the following...

George I am going to stick to my guns. "It is important to realize that pythagorean thinking is not dualistic. It is unitary." The one is indeed arritos...
Michael, As long as you do not accept the Aether as a substance, then it is clear that we have completely different approaches on this issue. I will comment...
Thankyou George. Much food for thought. Thanks for the clarifications. There are other issues that need clarifying too. After which, we will probably be...
George, I accept that Aether has a glue-like function; but not so much as substance (like a noun) or thing-to-be-manipulated but rather as active (like a ...
