The Wheel of the Jewish Calendar makes a major shift as we leave the month of Tishrei and enter the month of Cheshvan represented by Major Arcana card XIII Mekonennet ‘Death’ on October 14.  The third decan of Libra begins October 13.

 

The bottom row, representing the Jewish calendar according to the Tarot Netivot system now features Major Arcana card XIII for the beginning of the new month; and the Two of Swords for the beginning of the week of Rosh Chodesh the New Moon October 12.

 

Special Animal, Gem, and Plant correspondences for Sukkot, represented by Major Arcana card the Emperor IV, only appeared for eight days:  ram, eagle, hawk, owl, topaz, rub, diamond, and oak.  Only the eagle carries over into the month of Cheshvan.

 

Now we have two matches between the bottom and the top rows:  between ‘Death’ XIII and the Fool 0.  These are the eagle and the aspen.

 

The top line features Tarot cards as they relate to today’s Western Hermetic Astrology using primarily the Tabula Mundi Tarot Silver Edition by M.M.Melleen.  This works with the Solar Calendar.  These are the correspondences that Benebell uses when working with the SKT and astrology.

 

The bottom line features Tarot cards as they relate to the Hebrew calendar according to Tarot Netivot.  I am using the Lurianic Tarot by Basilikon — one of the few truly Jewish Tarot decks out there and certainly the most beautiful; and the hand painted Illuminated Tarot Starlight Rainbows edition.  This works with the Lunar Calendar.

 

The middle cards are animal, crystal, and plant correspondences according to T. Susan Chang in the book Tarot Correspondences.  These are tied to the Major Arcana cards as they appear in Tarot Netivot representing each Jewish month,  Jewish holidays, and major lunar and solar events as well as to the Western Hermetic Major Arcana in the top rows.  These are taken from various decks in my collection.  New additions:  The eagle, the yew, the wolf and rabbit, amber, aquamarine, amethyst, scorpion and panther.

 

Existing cards will be exchanged with new incoming cards as the wheel of time turns.  Lunar phases change every 3 - 4 days; decans change every 10 days.  Months change every 28 - 31 days.  Note:  I am working with 2 different systems to mark the months, one solar and the other lunar.  I shall try to post a new board every time there is significant movement.
