Etteilla's Trumps As Interpreted by Him and His Followers: Pictures, Translations, Commentary Delen 0 Meer Volgende blog» Blog maken Inloggen Etteilla's Trumps as Interpreted by him and his followers: pictures, translations, commentary Monday, May 28, 2012 Blog Archive ▼ 2012 (11) cards 1-4 in the Etteilla tradition ▼ May (11) Cards 1-8 as the Chaos plus the 7 days I thought it would be fun to compare not only different cards but also different books and booklets of creation... that went with the cards. In my view the booklets that go with most of the extant decks that people cards 1-4 in the Etteilla tradition have are deficient, compared to the c. 1838 "Julia Orsini" Art de Tirer les Cartes that I found at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. They all leave out the word-lists, which I think are pretty cards 5-8 in the Etteilla tradition important, because everything seems to flow from them. For the rest, it is a good thing that they cards 9-12 in the Etteilla tradition provide the original French, because although the English translations are 98% accurate, the other cards 13-15 in the Etteilla tradition 2% includes some major errors. I will post the original French of the Orsini for the first four cards when I have gone through all four. cards 16-21 and 78 in the Etteilla tradition CARD ONE Etteilla on the cards as a whole I Etteilla on the cards as a whole II This card has on it the astrological symbol Aries. As far as I can tell, it has no other significance An Etteilla Timeline than as the first sign of the zodiac, corresponding to the first card. Etteilla introduced astrological The Alexis queston signs so that one could interpret a horoscope using his cards. Since the signs play no role in the interpretation of the cards, the Etteilla II and III omit them. Conclusion, Appendix In the second Cahier Etteilla identifies the card with the Pope card of the standard Marseille decks, or Jupiter in another deck (the Besancon), which he erroneously presumes reflects an earlier About Me convention: Michael S Howard Quote: View my complete profile This allegory, formerly no. 1, was listed as no. V; and in place of the emblem of a unique Motor, a pure light, dreadful Ignorance was first to put on this card a Jupiter, then a Pope, and in third place a Swordsman (Fr. Spadassin); error that seems to us ridiculous... I do not know in what deck the card is represented by a swordsman Now I will (1) give some examples of card 1: in the top row, the original 1789 (from Wicked Pack of Cards) and two of Sumadi's Etteilla IIs (http://sumada.multiply.com/photos/album/76 and (http://sumada.multiply.com/photos/album/82); in the bottom row, one of his Etteilla IIIs (http://sumada.multiply.com/photos/album/131), and a 1910 Etteilla I downloaded from http://a.trionfi.eu/WWPCM/decks03/d01612/d01612.htm. Then I will (2) give the word list. I collated three versions: Revak's translation of Papus (http://www.villarevak.org/td/td_4.html); Stockman's translation of Papus (in The Divinatory Tarot, p. 20); and Orsini's list in the c. 1838 Art de Tirer les Cartes, p. 154. I posted the French for this list in #69 of this thread. Then I will (3) give Orsini's comments on the card, from the "Explication" section of the c. 1838 edition. I posted the French in #69. Then (4) I will give what I found in a c. 1910 Grand Etteilla booklet. Finally, (5), I will give what is in the modern Grimaud Grand Etteilla booklet. I also consulted an 1890 Grimaud Etteilla I booklet. It turned out to be a greatly abridged version of the "Explication" section of the Orsini book's 2nd edition, c. 1853, of which the Dusserre booklet (to their Etteilla III) is the uncondensed. Unlike the Dusserre, it preserves the paragraphing of the original. Here are diferent versions of card 1. Etteilla's comment on this card in the Second Cahier, as translated earlier in this thread (#78): Quote: ...the first sheet, listed no. 1, ... represented...a light surrounded by a thick cloud, or the chaos which was turned back in order to give place to the Truth, at the moment when the Creator manifested his glory and his sovereign bounty to the Creatures of the whole Universe, who slept and will sleep again in his intelligence: allegorical truth, indeed worthy of our first Masters. Now the word list. Words that are in either translation of Papus, and also in Orsini, are in regular type. Those in Papus only are in italics; and those in Orsini only in bold. Quote: 1. ETTEILLA. God. All-Powerful, Eternal, Very-High, Unitrine, the Supreme Being, the Central Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Male Consultant, Chaos. Thought. Meditation, Contemplation, Reflection, Concentration. Reversed: [Le Questionnant.] THE MALE QUERENT (CONSULTANT). The Universe. The physical man or the male. The querent. Philosophy. Philosophical. Philosophically. Philosopher. Sage. Sagacity. Sagely. Now comes the Orsini "explication" of the card, c. 1838, to which I have added comments in brackets (in part comparing the c. 1838, my main text, with the c. 1853 in Dusserre). I use the original paragraphing, which Dusserre ignores. Quote: No. 1. The Chaos Etteilla - The Enquirer (male) This card represents the chaos, the spirit of God: it represents also the one who interrogates the oracles by means of the book of Thoth. If you are reading the cards for a man and this card doesn't appear, you will take it from the deck and put it at the beginning of your line, without counting it with the others. If you are reading the cards for a woman, you must withdraw it, it is useless, and replace it with no. 8. This card means discovery, meditation, a deep mind [esprit profonde, which also can mean "profound spirit"; "discovery" and "meditation" seem derived from the Upright list, and "esprit profonde" from the Reversed]. If this card comes up in its natural sense and is found near cards no. 14, 17, or 18 it is an unfortunate sign. [14 is The Devil; 17 is Death; 18 is The Traitor. These cards apparently bring out its negative sense of chaos.] Near no. 76, error; near no. 71, loss [c. 1853 has "small loss"] of money; no. 47, lack of success. [No. 76 is "Embarras," Trouble; no. 71 is "Argent," Money; and no. 47, "Reussite," Success. Card no. 1 thus negates these three cards, when it is right side up. So it is again taking the negative meaning "Chaos."] It is a good omen whenever it falls between two favorable cards. Upside down, it means that the Enquirer is a philosopher; it predicts glory for him, immortality (that is to say, his name will go down to the most remote posterity).[This of course comes from the Reversed word-list, although you wouldn't know that from Papus's version.] Next, here is what a c, 1910 booklet. says. First it says that it is a favorable card if the cards around it are favorable, and if it is near 14 [Devil], 17 [Death], or 18 [Traitor], it is unfavorable. It goes on to say that it needs to be replaced if drawn for a woman, because it represents the male consultant only.After that n it adds, Quote: This tarot generally signifies lack of success, in its natural sense [i.e. right side up] or otherwise. However, if it appears between other happy cards, one could say it was a good omen. Between a King and a Queen, it signifies marriage, grandeur, success, fortune. "Lack of success" correlates to the "Chaos" keyword; this meaning looms larger in this booklet than in the others. The booklet that comes with the modern Grand Etteilla calls the card "Chaos." It adds Quote: This card wherever it is placed always represents the man consultant. But this does not mean it is devoid of a particular meaning of its own. R [Right-side up]: Moral qualities (virtue, kindness) which benefit the consultant. [This interpretation would seem to derive from the words in the Uprights' list pertaining to God.] U [Upside-down]: The consultant will show that he possesses intelligence [esprit] and talent. [This might relate to the Orsini Reversed word "Sagesse," and the Orsini explication's "deep mind."] It then repeats Orsini's comments about 14, 17, 18, 71 ["slight loss of money"], 76, and 47. It ends Quote: Between a "King" and a "Queen" it always indicates a forthcoming marriage, a happy affair [liaison], obvious success. The modern Grimaud has for keywords R "Ideal/Ideal"; U "Sagesse/Wisdom". These clearly derive from the Orsini Upright and Reversed lists. CARD TWO Now I will give some examples of card 2, followed by the interpretations. I think three will suffice, the 1910 Etteilla I from http://a.trionfi.eu/WWPCM/decks03/d01612/d01612.htm, an Etteilla II of Sumada’s, (http://sumada.multiply.com/photos/album/76 and his La Rue Etteilla III, from 1865- 1890, http://sumada.multiply.com/photos/album/16. Etteilla's comment on this card in the Second Cahier, as translated earlier in this thread (#78): Quote: ...the Sun is the instrument by which the Creator appeared in order to light up the life of all Beings; as the Sun, it carried itself to all the Globes of our Universe. These Globes can be nothing other than the proper matrices to receive life, that one might compare to a fluid that contains and transfixes all of Nature, since it is the true spirit of the Lord, the Sun that vivifies all the embryos, enfuses itself so that all the Globes are necessarily people, or matrices, which the order of all things demonstrates: gold, and also coal, being matrices, from the moment that Nature animated them, or Art revived them.

  • 2.8 Why You Can't Read the Court Cards Introduction As Many Students and Professionals Will Testify, the Court Cards Are the M
    Unpublished Material from Tarosophy: Tarot to Engage Life, Not Escape It by Marcus Katz 2.8 Why You Can’t Read the Court Cards Introduction As many students and professionals will testify, the Court Cards are the most troublesome to learn and interpret in a reading. It seems that everyone asks the same question – do I read this card as a person, an event, an energy, or part of the personality of the Querent? There are whole books written on the subject; Kate Warwick‐Smith’s The Tarot Court Cards (Destiny Books, 2003) and Mary K. Greer and Tom Little’s Understanding the Tarot Court (Llewellyn, 2004). The popular beginner books devote sections to the Court cards, noting they may be read in as many as seven different ways, even as a time of the year (see Anthony Louis, Tarot Plain and Simple (Llewellyn, 2003)) without giving much indication of how the Reader is to know which of those seven ways to choose.1 In Joan Bunning’s Learning the Tarot (Weiser, 1998), an example is provided where the Queen of Pentacles may be the environment of a house, another person in that house group, or yourself. Bunning calls this the “subtle play of the Tarot” but offers no real conclusion to which interpretation to follow in this example or any other reading where a Court Card appears.2 The Court cards are also certainly an area where we may project our own opinions of our fellow creatures. In Sally Gearhart and Susan Rennie’s A Feminist Tarot (Persephone Press, 1977), we see the Knight of Swords as “heavy police or military action repressing minority elements”.3 They are also particularly time‐fixed, both in their hierarchical nature and their possible interpretations as roles and relationships; in a 1930’s cartomancy book by Zodiastar, 30 Different Ways of Card Fortune‐Telling (Universal, 1936), we read that the advice for a Queen of Hearts person‐type is “you ought to marry a strong‐willed person, since you need guidance”.4 People are Strange As Jim Morrison sang, “people are strange”.
