The Knights: Tarot Card Meanings

ERRATUM AT 00:32 TIMESTAMP: In the video lecture, Daath (or Da’at) was referred to as an “unseen sephira.” Daath is an emanation born as the offspring of Chokhma and Binah. Whether Daath is considered a sephira hinges on differences in interpretation of the Zohar. Most Jewish scholars do not count Daath as a sephira (Rabbi Moses ben Jacob Cordovero [The Ramak], Pardes Rimonim) though some do, where Daath is the first sephira and Keter is excluded (Rabbi Isaac ben Solomon Luria Ashkenazi [Ha’ARI], Sefer Etz Chaim). Where Keter is excluded as a sephira, it is on the reasoning that Keter is an unknowable state of exaltation more resonant with the Ein Sof and therefore not part of the sephiroth schema.

Wow!! Can’t believe you came back to this! Thank you! So dense and specialized! Love it!

[@bluelilacfawn]

oh my gosh... so much content! i'm having a lot of fun seeing all the meanings weaving together. this is really something you wouldn't be able to realise if you're the "intuitive reader" (a.k.a. improv) type.

[@callalily4052]

Thanks, Benebell, again I enjoyed it and again I can see that I will be back to enjoy it when I have more experience/understanding of the Tarot. I think it's cool that you designed it in that way. It's sort of a "meet you where you are" series. It's useful to me now and I can see there's more to learn. My favorite! ;-)
