In order that the student shall have at hand concrete explanations of the application of the tarot, examples which he can use as models to follow in his own researches, after each Major Arcanum I have given some application of the principle which the arcanum represents in ten different domains as follows:

Number: The numerical significance of the principle is stated.
Astrology: It is shown why the principle pictured by the arcanum inevitably corresponds to a certain planet or zodiacal sign.
Human Function: It is pointed out which one of man’s various forms and activities are expressions of the principle.
Alchemy: How this principle, indicated by the arcanum, operates in alchemical procedure.
Bible: As an aid to Bible studies, and the interpretation of allegories by means of the tarot, Bible passages are quoted which are exemplifications of the principle pictured in the arcanum.
Masonry: To aid the Masonic student to use the tarot to gain the esoteric meaning of his rituals, it is shown what Masonic teaching is conveyed by the arcanum.
Magic: In magic, also, the tarot is a valuable aid; and some magical principle corresponding to the arcanum being considered is set forth.
Initiation: If I were to omit examples of the use of the tarot in pointing out the steps in the soul’s pilgrimage, it would be sadly remiss. This most valuable application is illustrated in connection with each arcanum.
Occult Science: For those who desire to use the tarot in special occult studies, the correspondence to some occult science is given under each arcanum.
Minor Arcana and Court Arcana: As a transition function, it is shown why the exoteric divinatory significance of the Minor Arcana are derived from their numerical relation to the Major Arcana, and how their esoteric and more spiritual significance derives from a corresponding decanate-division of the zodiac; also how the Court Arcana acquire their significance from the zodiacal signs.

And in addition to these examples of the use of the tarot, the lessons give instructions in the science of vibration, in divination by numbers, and after each second Major Arcanum there is given a different method of spreading and reading the cards.

If, however, the student goes no further than what is explained in these lessons, he has merely learned the fundamentals of the use of the tarot; for in the treatment here the attempt is to give accurate information, and to set forth examples, to the end of establishing proper methods of procedure which the student can apply at greater length in his own researches.
