Although the term “pathworking” is sometimes used to describe any type of guided meditation, it derives from a very specific esoteric practice. Previously we discussed the ten sephiroth of the Tree of Life and the magical images that are assigned to them ( • Magical Images of the ... ). Besides these ten circles on the Tree, there are twenty-two lines that connect the circles to each other. These lines are the paths. Each path relates to a Hebrew letter, an astrological correspondence, and to one of the Major Arcana tarot cards. Tarot pathworking is a standardized meditation process for exploring these twenty-two paths via their esoteric symbolism.
In this video tutorial, we’ll learn the basic correspondences of these paths and discover their magical images. Then we’ll practice a variety of ways to explore these paths through tarot spreads and meditation.
Pathworking on the Tree of Life is not only balancing and healing, but also one of the most reliable and easy-to-follow methods of self-initiation. Through a dedicated practice of tarot pathworking, you can initiate yourself into progressively higher levels of personal understanding and spiritual connection.
(BTW, if you're more interested in learning how to enter a tarot card, as well as other tarot-based meditations, please see my blog post Tarot Meditations -- denvertarotconvention.com/tar... -- or my course on Tarot Meditations -- joyvernonclasses.com/courses/... -- for some non-qabalistic meditations.)

Thanks Joy, appreciate the teachings. Your detail and way of explanation is really helpful, thank you!
Awesome! Thank you so much, Natasha! I'm glad you liked it. :)
I love incorporating this video into my study of the tree, and I know I'm gonna keep coming back to it numerous times. Really useful spreads here!
That's great to hear! Thank you!
My Tarot mentor taught Tarot, teaching one card a week, 22 weeks!
thank you.. great you ar3.. i found many similarities in many scriptures of Hinduism- Geeta, shiva sutra, vedanta , upanisad
You're welcome!
@@JoyVernonAstrologyTarotReikigod bless you , you are giving the divine informations to humanity ... OM
There is a stunning overlap of the tree - over the twin pillars of Notre Dame cathedral. I wish that I'd been familiar with the Etz Chaim when I visited the cathedral two years ago. The Rose window corresponds to Tiphereth, is of course, the middle pillar was represented by the (destroyed and rebuilt) spire. I adore your channels and PDFs - I am building quite a little library.
Oh that's very interesting! I'm glad you like my content. :)
If you add Daath it's 33 paths
33 is a magical number
Right now, I'm doing path working on the Qliphoth as a form of shadow work.
This sounds interesting @@jasonfields7964

Hello Joy. Thank you for posting your lessons on TH-cam. Would you be able to advise me on the best computer software for creating visual images of the pathway portals (Archway colours, Tarot cards, Hebrew letters etc) Many Thanks.
Hi Knackernut! Nice to hear from you. You're welcome! I'm happy to make these videos available.
Four things:
1. I can't really recommend any software -- I use GIMP and have for many years. It's free. I've never actually used anything else, so I can't compare.
2. Remember that visualizing the image is the most important thing. I'm not a great visualizer, so I can assure you that you don't need top skills to get the job done. But of course, as I said in the video, creating an image can help you get started and help you keep all the symbols clear.
3. For the colors, I refer to Lelandra.com (www.lelandra.com/tarotbook/TreeofLifeColors.htm). The 10 sephiroth use the Queen scale colors, while the 22 paths use the Atziluth colors (these are marked at the top of the columns on the color grid). To get the hex code for each color, right click on the color you want and choose "Inspect" from the bottom of the drop down menu. That opens a complicated looking panel of computer code, but toward the top of that panel the color hex code you want is highlighted.
4. There are a variety of fonts available that have the Hebrew letters and astrological glyphs.
I think that should get you started. :)
One last thing -- I might be doing a year-long program on Tarot Pathworking on the Tree of Life. If you are interested in signing up for the program, you can join my email newsletter list, joyvernon.com/newsletter/
Good luck!
@@JoyVernonAstrologyTarotReiki Thank you very much for taking the time to respond and pass on those helpful details. I know what you mean about visualising. In my case, I think that i'm actually pretty good at it - I can visualise almost anything except what i'm supposed to! (monkey mind - I suppose)
I also have to thank you for helping me discover this path. I saw you in an interview on astrology podcast, liked what you had to say, and the rest is (quite recent) history.
At present I'm working through 'Paths of Wisdom' and two more books you recommended, hastily acquiring new pencils and drawing equipment to do some of the 'homework'.
One thing that I am starting to find out is how much I don't actually know, so for me at the moment it's a case of 'festina lente' and 'same same' ( and see where it goes)
Thanks again.
@@knackernut4072 That's so great to hear! I'm glad you're enjoying the work. :) It does open up whole new worlds!
Tetragrammaton:
Yud = Hand = Be-hold That which is/That I am
Hei = Window = Being aware
Vav = Notch = of
Hei = Window = Being aware
Nice!

Isnt path working naught but simply life? The hero's journey, the donkey that carried Mary to bethlehem. Though life is a meditation if one cares to think of it in that manor
About 40 minutes in before pertinent information is brought up…and most of the video is composed of “and….um…uh…um…and….uh…” instead of the information, which is hardly focused on.
