Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books
Complete Book of Tarot: The study of the tarot became a core element in the Golden Dawn teachings as an attempt to synthesize many occult traditions into a coherent philosophy, much like the unified field theory scientists aspired to develop in modern physics. Central to the Golden Dawn system was the idea that the Kabbalah, a school of Jewish mysticism, contains the secret to understanding the meaning and purpose of the universe. The Golden Dawn assigned meanings to tarot cards based on associations with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the Kabbalah, the decans (ten-degree divisions of zodiac signs) of astrology, and other esoteric disciplines.
Complete Book of Tarot: Wisdomthe Great Father. Chokmah is associated with the entire zodiac circle and, by some modern astrologers, with the planet Neptune. The tarot cards related to the number two are the High Priestess (II), Strength or Justice (XI, 1 + 1 = 2), Judgment (XX, 2 + 0 = 2), and all the pip cards numbered two. Chokmah represents the four elements in their purest form.
