This episode takes the classic four elements and associates them with the Tetragrammaton and the Qabalistic four worlds.  A helpful diagram of a simple Kircher Tree of Life Glyph depicting the Four Worlds as described in this episode has been added to the Tarot Esoterica webpage. 

Building on Episode Four, this episode integrates Chinese yinyang, Western alchemy, and astrology to describe Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.  Laurel explains how all of this shapes what she associates with the four Minor Arcana suits. 

Explains what trinaries and triadic modality are and how they are expressed in Western alchemy, astrology, and esoteric tarot.  Introduces the Sefer Yetzirah and some Qabalistic concepts.  

The occult philosophies of Yingyang and the Hermetic Law of Polarity are presented with examples in the Major Arcana.  

Laurel (aka The Loracular) introduces herself, her history with the occult, and presents what Tarot Esoterica is and isn't going to be about.
