The reason I included the expression "God's Cosmic Blueprint" in the title of this book is because the Tarot and Kabbalah are systems that properly explain how and for what purpose God created the universe, and why he filled it with countless living beings, including humans.
Tarot and Kabbalah are a life manual and roadmap that also provide answers to the questions of why humans exist (“Where did I come from?”), what humans should do (“Who am I?”), and what humanity’s ultimate destiny is (“Where am I going?”).
Most tarot decks sold today are from the Golden Dawn, an occult group founded in England in the late 19th century.
It is based on the system compiled in (The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn).
Arthur Edward Waite, who created the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, which is familiar even to beginners, and Alistair Crowley, the creator of the Thoth Tarot, which is the focus of this book, also joined the Golden Dawn and acquired knowledge of Tarot and Kabbalah. Dion Fortune, the author of The Mystical Qabalah, which explains the teachings of Kabbalah, which are notoriously difficult, in a relatively easy-to-understand way, also inherited the Golden Dawn tradition.

Thanks to the efforts of these initiates, the secrets of the Tarot and Kabbalah have been made widely known to us, signifying that the consciousness of modern humanity has risen to a level where it can receive this knowledge.
It's no coincidence.
It has been made public because it is knowledge that is essential to humanity at this point in time.
The recent phenomenon of many people around the world becoming interested in tarot is in the same vein.
Although it is currently primarily used as a divination tool, the number of people studying Tarot and Kabbalah from an academic perspective will likely increase in the future as the images depicted on the cards imprint themselves on people's minds and exert influence.
And as Crowley said, they will be the ones who will lead the way, carrying torches and illuminating the path through the dark times that humanity will have to pass through after the advent of the new era.

As can be seen from the title, “Tarot and Kabbalah, God’s Cosmic Blueprint,” this book covers not only the Tarot but also the Kabbalah, the Jewish metaphysical system that forms the basis of the Tarot.
This first volume, published this time, delves into the basic knowledge you need to know before studying Tarot and Kabbalah, the structure of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, the fruits ('Sephirot') that hang from the Tree of Life, and the attributes of the Tarot Minor Arcana cards that correspond to each Sephira.
The explanation of the Tree of Life and the Sephiroth is mainly based on Dion Fortune's Mystical Qabbalah, and the explanation of the Tarot is based on Alistair Crowley's The Book of Thoth, a manual for the Thoth Tarot, which was born from the Golden Dawn tradition and preserves the original teachings while revising some of the content to fit the new era.
Part 2, scheduled for publication in the future, will delve into the Court Cards and Major Arcana, and explore the journey of spiritual growth along the Tree of Life.

What is most important is that the Tarot system, based on Kabbalah, exquisitely describes and expresses humanity and the universe.
This book will focus on teaching you the core teachings of the Tarot and Kabbalah, and how to discover and apply them in your daily life to understand the workings of the universe and develop yourself.

If I were to summarize the Tarot in one word, I would say it is 'a scripture that encompasses all of Western esoteric knowledge and records it in pictorial form.'
It is an illustrated version of Kabbalah, which is passed down only through oral tradition and a limited number of written documents.

The ten Sephiroth, which are born sequentially from number 1 through the process of emanation, explain the principles of creation, evolution, movement, destruction, and circulation of the objective universe visible to our eyes, that is, the macrocosm, and correspond to the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, which is divided into four suits based on the four elements of fire, water, air, and earth.
Meanwhile, the 22 branches are a guidebook that guides the growth of humans, or the microcosm, or, to borrow the words of the ancients, a map, navigation, or key needed for humans to return to the Garden of Eden, and correspond to the 22 Hebrew letters and the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot.

In alchemy, mercury is described as a medium that connects sulfur and salt, which symbolize the active energy (yang) and passive energy (yin) of the universe, respectively, and acts as a mediator and governs communication in the middle.
The 'Magician' of the Tarot Major Arcana, who points to the sky with one hand and the earth with the other while holding a magic wand and acts as a mediator between heaven and earth, is also Mercury, the cosmic mediator who connects gods and humans, heaven and earth, spirit and matter.

American mystical philosopher, Manley --- p.
It is in the same context that Hall compared Mercury to religious figures such as Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna in one of his lectures.
Just as sunlight, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, changes into various colors that humans can perceive when passing through a prism, they are all messengers and teachers of humanity who explain and convey the will and words of God, which are difficult for ordinary people to understand, in a form that we can digest.

Truth has immutable properties, but it can appear differently depending on the perspective.
Moreover, as time passes and human consciousness grows, the veil covering the truth is gradually lifted, creating a virtuous cycle in which consciousness expands further.

The root of all creation, change and magic is ‘thought’.
If you don't like the result, you need to change the cause that brought about that result, and that cause is 'thought'.
This is why we must study and understand the principles of the invisible world beyond the material world, where thoughts reside.

Let all who wish to know the depths of nature listen.
If you don't find what you're looking for within yourself, you won't find it outside yourself.
How can you seek other mysteries if you ignore the mystery of the house in which you dwell? Within you lies the treasure of treasures.
Know thyself.
If you know me, you will know the universe and God.
--- p.41

If you develop the habit of looking at the world and things with the principle of correspondence in mind, your understanding of the providence of the universe will deepen.
Are you struggling with a problem that just won't go away? If it's a big problem, try comparing it to something smaller. If it's a small problem, try comparing it to something larger.
You may find a clue to the solution.

People also have their own unique frequency.
When we meet someone, we may feel good, and sometimes we may feel uncomfortable for some unknown reason.
When I am with someone who resonates with my frequency, my waves are amplified and a synergistic effect is created, making me feel good. When I am with someone who does not, my waves are distorted or canceled out, making me feel uncomfortable.
