Grab Instantly Kabbalah: The Tree Of Life Oracle: Sacred Wisdom To Enrich Your Life Outlined By Cherry Gilchrist Presented As Ebook
packaged. Informative book. Small deck. Not only are they small but card stock is not good, Disappointing. Would have givenstars. A big almost. No effort is made to explain why the card chronology starts at the bottom of the Tree, and travel upwards, altho the lightening flash which travels downward is mentioned and displayed.
As a long time student, I can guess at the upward progression, but am disappointed that such context is
not lent to the oracle, Perhaps the author has no idea, An opportunity to teach about The Ladder, the spiritual return to union with G d, was lost, The cards have modern themes and little Torah context, They are directed at egoic self development rather than spiritual evolution, I feel the interpretations are distanced from deeper kabbalist ontology, they were built for the Me generation, I surmise those who studied the kabbalah that inspired the original premise of the deck, only knew of the later Western European mystery school distillations translated from earlier, similarly sourced commentaries.
Its a superficial tourists journey through kabbalah, leaving one devoid of the point of it all, This oracle is based on the ancient Kabbalistic map of creation that dates back at least a thousand years in the Jewish mystery tradition, The Tree of Life is a sacred symbol in many cultures of the world, but here it is used as a path to knowledge linking the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet with the twenty two paths of the Tree of Life and the astrological houses.
Each resulting word forms a rich and powerful wheel symbol that reflects a segment of the tree, depicted on a card in the oracle deck, Follow the reading sheet to lay the cards in the zigzag line of creation, and consult the guidebook to receive guidance on any life issue, Both the oracle and the tree are highly structured, and from this framework of harmony comes wisdom that you will value forever, .
