Andrea Green - Kabbalah and Tarot: A Step-Up Guide for Everyone

If you have started to use Tarot cards and begun to ask deeper questions with them, then Kabbalah is a subject that will help you answer these questions; questions about the very meaning of life itself, or how to make changes in life and have the whole universe working alongside you.

However, it seems that many books make Tarot and Kabbalah a lot more difficult than they need to be for us absolute beginners. They dive straight into the whole history of Kabbalah, its roots in mystical Judaism, and before long you are knee-deep in the Sepher Yetzirah with your head spinning as you try and remember Hebrew characters, Gematria, and that Chesed is Binah on a lower arc.

Mostly though, you wonder what any of this has to do with your actual everyday life.

In this book, I provide a step-up guide to Kabbalah and Tarot that is intended to teach you decent Kabbalah and Tarot without having to dive in too deep. We will learn to paddle in the same pool as even the most ancient and learned of scholars, and with just a little splashing around, we will practice swimming before heading off to the deep end of the waters if we want.

Kabbalah is a complex and difficult subject, with deep and profound roots in Judaism, so we must not take it lightly however, we can at least try to make it accessible and practical to encourage you to study it further.

Your study in this book should lead to you seeing new things in the everyday world. I really do want to inspire you to study more Kabbalah and Tarot from a solid foundation. As you study and practice the methods in this little book, you will gain a new awareness of how Kabbalah works in your life.

Further, you will begin to see how having such a structure that once seemed a bit frightening can open the way to lovely new experiences, and cross into the divine realms of understanding and wisdom. You may even come to experience how Kabbalah and Tarot connects us directly to the divine source.

One thing you will learn for sure, that Kabbalah is buried in much more than you think even those last two paragraphs are pure Kabbalah and in the rest of this book, you will learn how to use the subject to create all sorts of things, like we just did:

Your study in this book should lead to you seeing new things in the everyday world [Malkuth]. I want to inspire you to study more Kabbalah and Tarot, from a solid foundation [Yesod]. As you study [Hod] and practice [Netzach] the methods in this book, you will gain a new awareness [Tiphareth] of how Kabbalah works in your life.

Further, you will begin to see how having such a structure that once seemed a bit frightening [Geburah] can open the way to lovely new experiences [Chesed], and cross into [Abyss] the divine realms of understanding [Binah] and wisdom [Chockmah]. You may even come to experience how Kabbalah and Tarot connects us directly to the divine source [Kether].

I like Kabbalah because it helps me to fit things together easily, it is like slotting together the pieces of a jigsaw and bit by bit seeing the bigger picture that was meant to be displayed from the outset.

It also provides a structure and a way of seeing things particularly spiritual aspects of life in the Tarot that might otherwise be less obvious.

Finally, having Kabbalah with Tarot allows me to use Tarot as a language for not only self-discovery but to key into the divine processes that create the universe and to align myself to those patterns.

I hope that this step-up book, the first of a series introducing subjects that are often seen as difficult, gives you more methods and understanding to use your Tarot, and encourages you to go further and explore the subject of Kabbalah with more confidence.

In this book Ive also given spreads and methods that are absolutely unique to my own work youll not find these anywhere else unless theyve been copied! I hope you enjoy them and look forward to hearing about your experiences.

If you are totally new to Tarot, this book can be accompanied with the free spreads and keywords given in my free book at:

I would also recommend my first book, True Tarot Card Meanings , as a further reference to each card, if you have not already got it.

When you have become familiar and confident with the ideas and methods in this book, I have given a reading list for your further studies, starting with the book Magicians Kabbalah by Marcus Katz, which is the ladder of which this present book is the first rung.

If you have not already got a tarot deck to hand, lets start by recommending a deck for you that work best with Kabbalah in mind.
