COLORS ASSIGNED TO THE MINOR TRUMPSThese colors were given to the number cards by the Order of the Golden Dawn. In the Thoth (Crowley) Deck,

they can often be seen to dominate the background of the corresponding card.WANDS:

These ten colors are derived from ancient Qabalistic speculation. InSepher Zoharthey are mainly composed

mixtures of red and white to suggest differing proportions of severity and mercy. Touches of blue and yellow

added from astral study to increase the variety. The allocation of blue to the deuce also comes fromSepher

Zohar.

ACE ----------- Brilliance TWO ----------- Pale soft blue

THREE ------- Crimson FOUR ---------- Deep violet

FIVE ---------- Orange SIX ------------- Clear pink rose

SEVEN ------- Amber EIGHT --------- Violet Purple

NINE --------- Indigo TEN ------------ Yellow

CUPS:These ten colors and groups of colors are obtained from the Qabalah and the theory of color pigment mixing.

They also reflect the traditional planetary and Alchemical correspondences to the Tree of Life. These are: 3 -

Saturn - Lead - Black; 4 - Jupiter - Tin - Blue; 5 - Mars - Iron - Red; 6 - Sun - Gold - Yellow; 7 - Venus - Copp- Green; 8 - Mercury - Orange; 9 - Moon - Silver - Violet. Most of the colors come from common ores or

compounds of the corresponding metals, e.g. Mercuric Chloride is reddish orange and Silver Chloride is purpli

The three shades:ACE --------- White Brillance

TWO -------- Gray THREE ------- Black

The three primaries:

FOUR -------- Blue (Cyan) FIVE -------- Red (Magenta)

SIX ------------ Yellow

The three secondaries:

SEVEN ------- Green (Blue+Yellow) EIGHT ------- Orange (Red+Yellow)

NINE ----------- Violet (Red+Blue)

The tertiaries or earth colors:TEN --------- Citrine, Olive, Russet and Black

Citrine = Orange+Green

Olive= Green+Violet

Russet = Orange+VioletBlack = all three primaries mixed

or all three secondaries mixed

or Citrine+Olive+Russet

SWORDS:


7/9

These ten colors are obtained by mixing the two colors of the same number in Wands and Cups. This is in acc

with Qabalistic method: Fire and Water mix to form Air, the and the first of combine to produce , thenext letter.

ACE ------ White Brilliance TWO ------ Blue Gray

THREE ---- Dark Brown FOUR ----- Deep Purple

FIVE ----- Bright Scarlet SIX ------ Rich Salmon

SEVEN ---- Bright Yellow-Green EIGHT ---- Red Russet

NINE ----- Very Dark Purple TEN ------ Citrine, Olive, Russet

and Black, all flecked

with gold.

COINS:

These ten colors are often derived from the colors for the same number in Wand and Cups, especially the latteThey add a flecked color which may represent a secondary correspondence to one of the colors in Cups or Wa

not otherwise suggested by the dominant color. The colors for Coins are vaguely linked to a variety of theories

about the meaning of the earthly aspect of each number. They are also often the result of astral visions of auras

encountered in known situations or seen about the astral bodies of people of know character.

ACE ------ White flecked Gold TWO ------ White flecked Red,

Blue and Yellow

THREE ---- Grey flecked Pink FOUR ----- Deep Azure flecked Yellow

FIVE ----- Red flecked Black SIX ------ Gold Amber (no flecking)SEVEN ---- Olive flecked Gold EIGHT ---- Yellowish Brown flecked

THE MINOR TRUMPS AND ASTROLOGY

The Order of the Golden Dawn allocated Aces to the four elements and the rest of the Minor Trumps to decans

the zodiac. A decan is a ten degree division of a zodiacal sign. Thus each sign has three decans or 30. All twe

signs total 36 decans. In assigning ruling planets to the decans, the Golden Dawn used the method of Ptolemy.

Modern astrology frequently uses a much less elaborate method. Both are given here. In the Thoth (Crowley)Deck, this information is marked on the cards themselves for Two through Ten. In the Rider or Celtic (Waite)

Deck, these factors are sometimes translated into corresponding Major Trumps and used as a basis for the desie.g. the Two of Wands has Aries ruled by Mars. This is the Emperor (Aries) and the Tower (Mars), so the card

shows an Emperor standing on a Tower. The Key Expression used by the Order of the Golden Dawn usually

derives from this Astrological correspondence.
