Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet and Tarot TrumpsBelow are the most common attributions between the trumps of the tarot and Hebrew letters (I have used variations of the common card titles for ease of reference). The two on the far right, Sitsky and Gray, are included for two separate reasons: in Sitsky's case, the correlations come from his piano concertos written in the mid-1990s, for which he appears to have used a standard ordering (including the Fool as final) save that he also appears to have adopted the interchange introduced by the Golden Dawn [G.D.] for Justice and Strength; Gray, on the other hand, is simply included as an example of the vast variation that exists, and for which, of course, he argues in his own way. The C. de. M[ellet] dates from the late 18th century, which I have translated and included as part of an earlier Association for Tarot Studies Newsletter (#56). This page and the table below also form part of another subsequent ATS Newsletter (#74). From my perspective, Filipas exemplifies my preferred sequence. Though he is not the first to make those corellations (others had made it for over a century), his justification is the reason for which I attach his name to head the list.
