Arcanum 14
Beloved disciples, let us now study the Fourteenth Arcanum of the Tarot.
It is convenient to state that the profound wisdom of this Arcanum is classically divided into three parts:
- Transmutation
- Transformation
- Transubstantiation
Arcanum 15
Let us now study the Fifteenth Arcanum of the Tarot. We are going to study the male goat of Mendes, Typhon Baphomet, the devil. The alchemist must steal the fire from the devil. When we work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. we steal the fire from the devil; this is how we transform ourselves into Gods.
Arcanum 16
Let us study now the Sixteenth Arcanum of the Tarot. This is the Arcanum of the Fulminated Tower. This is the Tower of Babel. Two personages are precipitated to the bottom of the Abyss. One of these personages when falling with his head downwards and his legs and arms outstretched represent the inverted pentagram. Many are the initiates that allow themselves to fall; many are the fulminated towers. Any initiate that spills the Cup of Hermes falls inevitably. The legend of the fallen Angels has been repeated and will be repeated eternally.
Arcanum 17
Seventeenth Arcanum of the Tarot: the hieroglyphic of this Arcanum is the Radiant Star and the Eternal Youth. A naked woman appears in this Arcanum; over the earth she is pouring the sap of universal life from two jars, one made of gold and the other made of silver. If we carefully study the esoteric context of this Arcanum, we then discover perfect Alchemy. We need to work with the gold and with the silver, with the sun and with the moon so that we can incarnate the Star; this Star has eight points.
Arcanum 18
Now, let us study the Eighteenth Arcanum of Kabbalah. This is the Arcanum of the Twilight. It is necessary for our Gnostic disciples to profoundly reflect on the esoteric context of this Arcanum. We have been strongly criticized for not continuing with the already known Hebraic monotony. Indeed, we do not want to follow the same Hebraic monotony. We, Gnostics, are only interested in that which is called C-O-M-P-R-E-H-E-N-S-I-O-N.
We want our students to comprehend each Arcanum and thereafter develop it within themselves.
