It occured to me a while ago that it would be useful to have a thread for supporting (or stating the challenges with) the ABRAHADABRA arrangement of the qabalah, in particular, the changes of the paths.

While developing some notes on how to present Mutational Alchemy, I came up with some brief explanations for the new trump arrangements:

15(star) <->16(hierophant), the star channels divine wisdom into benevolence as in the Aquarian Age, the hierophant reflects inner wisdom to reveal beauty
17(lovers)<->18(chariot), the chariot is the divine form which bears the centre of ones soul, wheras the lovers are the formation of inner strength and reservation
25 (art)<-> 26 (devil), art, also dubbed alchemy, is the use of language to communicate one's sol centre, and the devil, the horny beast of the tantric tradition, interweaves sol and luna with the eye of scrying (hmmm, was someone messing with the devil)

I read this at ifdawn.com :

The virgin Priestess, reserved for the God, and trained in the highest Magic, meets the Horned One at Beltane, to conceive a Mystical Child.

This looks like the Devil and the High Priestess lining up to give birth to Tipareth, the son/sun.

I think of the switching of chariot and heirophant as two great forces of ascension coming out of retirement...lol

but the devil/art card switch is big...that really is a big deal in my view and yes, one can't help but feel like somebody has been tampering with *father nature*...probably due to a knee-jerk response to their own superstitious nonsense.
