COLORS ASSIGNED TO THE MINOR TRUMPS

These 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. In Sepher Zohar they are mainlycomposed of mixtures of red and white to suggest differing proportions of severity and mercy. Touches ofblue and yellow are added from astral study to increase the variety. The allocation of blue to the deucealso comes from Sepher 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 colorpigment mixing. They also reflect the traditional planetary and Alchemical correspondences to the Tree ofLife. These are: 3 - Saturn - Lead - Black; 4 - Jupiter - Tin - Blue; 5 - Mars - Iron - Red; 6 - Sun - Gold -Yellow; 7 - Venus - Copper - Green; 8 - Mercury - Orange; 9 - Moon - Silver - Violet. Most of the colorscome from common ores or compounds of the corresponding metals, e.g. Mercuric Chloride is reddishorange and Silver Chloride is purplish.

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

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


6 of 9 29/09/2013 3:37 PM

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+Violet Black = all three primaries mixed

or all three secondaries mixed or Citrine+Olive+Russet

SWORDS: These ten colors are obtained by mixing the two colors of the same number in Wands and Cups.This is in accord with Qabalistic method: Fire and Water mix to form Air, the and the first of combine to produce , the next 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 latter. They add a flecked color which may represent a secondary correspondence to one ofthe colors in Cups or Wands not otherwise suggested by the dominant color. The colors for Coins arevaguely linked to a variety of theories about the meaning of the earthly aspect of each number. They arealso often the result of astral visions of auras encountered in known situations or seen about the astralbodies 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 fleckedWhite

NINE ----- Citrine flecked Azure TEN ------ Black rayed with Yellow.

THE MINOR TRUMPS AND ASTROLOGY

The Order of the Golden Dawn allocated Aces to the four elements and the rest of the MinorTrumps to decans of the zodiac. A decan is a ten degree division of a zodiacal sign. Thus each sign hasthree decans or 30. All twelve signs total 36 decans. In assigning ruling planets to the decans, the GoldenDawn used the method of Ptolemy. Modern astrology frequently uses a much less elaborate method. Bothare given here. In the Thoth (Crowley) Deck, this information is marked on the cards themselves for Twothrough Ten. In the Rider or Celtic (Waite) Deck, these factors are sometimes translated intocorresponding Major Trumps and used as a basis for the design; e.g. the Two of Wands has Aries ruled byMars. This is the Emperor (Aries) and the Tower (Mars), so the card shows an Emperor standing on aTower. The Key Expression used by the Order of the Golden Dawn usually derives from this Astrologicalcorrespondence.
