Chapter 8
Trinity
NOW WE'VE REACHED the last four cards in tarot,
the four "Pages". The Page cards represent the
four elemental triplicities of the court cards
in composite, where the creator, sustainer and
destroyer splay out from a single element, one
divine trinity or elemental triad as one force,
thereby symbolized by the Page of each element.
The four elements of creation are 1) Fire, the
strong nuclear force; 2) Water or weak nuclear
force; 3) Air, electromagnetic force; 4) Earth,
the force of gravitation. 1&2 micro, 3&4 macro.
Together, the Pages quintessentially synergize
the fifth element, called the kether or aether,
spirit "fluttering" upon the face of existence.
The four primordial elements extend to no less
than ten dimensions or planes of consciousness
to which the planets co-formed in their orbits
from the beginning. The spirit is ever-present
in all dimensions, as spirit is slightly above
the creation just as will is slightly above it.
Each of the four page cards point to its triad
of tones, colors, houses, etc and their ruling
planets. Understanding the elemental trinities
is tantamount to understanding Sepher Yetzirah,
as I've previously mentioned back in chapter 2.
For example, I suggest that you play the triad
as it appears on each Page card beginning with
the Page of Wands, whose tones are C, E and G#;
consider also its colors, Red, Yellow and Blue-
Indigo; its fiery houses of Ego, Sons & Spirit;
its rulers Mars-receding, Sun, Jupiter-closing;
refer also to chapter 5, the three court cards
King of Wands, Queen of Wands, Knight of Wands,
who together form the trinity of Page of Wands.
This is the actual basis of the divine trinity,
Father, Son, Spirit; King, Queen, Knight. This
is the basis for all ancient wisdom, the triad
of Life(death), Death(life), and the Resurrect-
ion forever in the balance thereof...eternally.
We may read the Page card in a tarot layout in
the same way, by considering first the element
it represents, its elemental triplicity. Let's
say you draw the Page of Swords, placing it in
the position of Saturn. Therefore the eleventh
house is actively ruled by Saturn-receding and
his father Uranus, in the astrological element
of Air, and which is the Electromagnetic force
of Consciousness: whose King is Venus-superior.
Quetzalcoatl-the-lesser is lost behind the Sun
to become the greater or immortal Quetzalcoatl,
who is the force of Venus closing to the Earth
(cf major arcana trump of "Justice" chapter 4),
and means Venus is ruling in the seventh house.
The Page of Swords under Saturn also points to
Mercury-inferior, ruling in the third house of
Brothers. Play the triad D, F#, & A#. It's the
same interval as other Pages, but each is in a
different key a wholestep up from the previous.
Try playing the second then third inversion of
the same notes F#, A# and D, then A#, D and F#.
The first, second and third inversions of each
triad help you to recognize its triune essence,
and all four Pages cover the complete spectrum
of twelve chromatic tones in Earth's houses of
her synodic zodiac-meaning numbered by planets
according to their synodic phases to the Earth.
Below are the four Pages in the tarot pak, and
are the last cards listed in this book. In the
next chapter, select copies of my astrological
charts are included for your reference, and as
a learning aid for students and teachers alike.
