 Correct! The answer is D (“all of
the above”). Eliphas Lévi’s writings on
Tarot significantly impacted many later occultists. For
example, he was the first to publish, in his Transcendental
Magic (1854-55), that the numeric cards (Ace through Ten)
correspond to the ten Cabalistic Sephiroth; and Clubs (later called Wands) correspond to Fire;
Swords, to Air; Water, to Cups; and Coins (later called Pentacles),
to Earth.
In the same work, this French occultist also published his drawing
of the Chariot, which was the first to include Egyptian-style
sphinxes (see illustration) and has influenced many later renditions
of this Trump.
