The Sepher Yetzirah or Book of Formation attributed to Rabbi Akiba Ben Joseph was believed to be written between the third and sixth century and is like the bible for the Kabbalah describing the corresponding energies within the Tree of Life which the Waite-Coleman Smith Tarot translated into pictures. Various members of the Golden Dawn constructed a model called the Cube of Space to demonstrate these correspondences more symbolically.  Sara will unpack this rather daunting and complex piece of architecture, demonstrating the perfection of the connections between the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the six directions, their astrology and the cards we now work with as the Major Arcana.
