The Tree of Life

The Square Sphere

This diagram is my own creation, I used the Kabbalah of old as a starting point, but it is pretty different. My attempt at visualizing the Tree of Life helped me. Maybe it will help you too. Or not. My Tree of Life is multidimensional. This diagram has two. There is a lot going on, but like most roadmaps, it leaves a lot out. We try to keep the big picture in mind as we travel, but we get caught up in the journey's details. There are ten Sephiroth, divine forces or emanations, arranged in a pattern on the outside of a sphere. The Trumps lie on the 24 paths between the corners of the cube, over the surface of the sphere. So each Trump is a path between two powers. The 10 powers also correspond to the numbers on the suit cards Powers # 1 through #8 are points on the cubisphere. I put #9, Balance on the root, but placing it inside the sphere would work too. Instead of tree, it could represent the solar system, or an atom. Power #10, Unity is the sphere, the totality. You know, everything.

I numbered the paths from 1 to 24. The list is ordered as it is to preserve the Trumps traditional order as much as possible. There is really no beginning or end, it's all connected. My cards have no numbers or titles on them.
