Chapter 6: The Gifts - Minor Arcana


Affirmations of the Minor Arcana are arrived at by combining
the gift associated with the Elemental of each house, the God
associated with each number, and the place associated with each
Zodiac card (of the Major Arcana).

Meditations on this process will invariably get results,
particularly if they are combined with one's dream studies, and
they are a cornerstone in the healing process.

So, after the initial encounter of a realm of existence (the "Ace" in that Suit), the particpant goes through three groups of three processes in each suit.

Therefore (to summarize) -

the "Twos", "Fives" and "Eights" represent the start of a cycle (first decanate).

"Threes", "Sixes" and "Nines" represent the apex of a cycle (second decanate).

"Fours", "Sevens" and "Tens" represent the leaving of a cycle (third decanate).

and (in another perspective) -

"Two, Three and Four" represent the first cycle (Cardinal) "Five, Six and Seven" represent the second cycle (Fixed) and "Eight, Nine and Ten" represent the third cycle (Mutable).
