SECRET OF THE ACE
![]() QUESTION: This is partly a Qabalah question and partly not. When we work with the minors, the Ace through Ten sequence rather than the courts, we work 1-10. Seems simple. But, when you look at the Ace as the distillation of the suit, as the positive shimmery totality of that suit, how can the Ace be all that and still be just number 1. I understand that the Aces are new beginnings, etc. but either something went wrong when I learned them, some basic misunderstanding grew up or I make more of Aces in readings than need be. Part two of the question brings in the Qabalistic element. I find it interesting that on the Tree of Life dealing with the minors, the Ace is the Crown (Kether) and 10 is Kingdom, (Malkuth). It seems weird that it works from the crown, the top, down to the 10. Many blessings to you and your wonderful work, Claudia ANSWER: What great questions, Claudia! The questions are simple, but the answers are not. In fact, they open the door to whole chapters of esoteric lore. But I'll try to give you a useful hint or two. The Tarot Aces are truly both the beginning of each suit sequence and the containers for the entire sequence together. Each Ace can be said to serve the function of the seed from which a life begins. It contains within itself the whole unseen plan and potential of the completed organism that will eventually arise from it. The numbers 2 through 10 of any suit are the full expression of the living potential of the Ace of that suit. In Qabalah, it is said of this process that “The end is embedded in the beginning.” The progression of the numbers on the Tree of Life describe two journeys, not just one. The numbers 1 through 10 express the sequence of events by which, according to Qabalah, creation emerges from the formlessness of its divine origin, and step by step becomes manifest as the world we know. This is called the Journey of Emergence. The sequence of numbers 10 through 1 describes the experience of the awakened consciousness seeking its own divine origin beneath and before manifestation. This is called the Journey of Return. The numbers have a different feeling and meaning depending on which way the observer is traveling at the time. I hope this helps. - Wald Join our 11K+ fans and join the fun!
