The Law of the Extremities

Copyright � Philippe CAMOIN

I have also revealed a law which I call the Law of the Extremities. I noticed that
the elements at each end of the row or the path had a relationship with each other.
And more particularly in the Camoin 3x7 diagram.

To begin, one can notice the existence of this law in the wand which appears in the
left hand of the Magician at the beginning of the path of Tarot, and also in the
left hand of the woman in The World. There is clearly a common symbol in the two
extremities.

There are numerous examples of this Law of the Extremities in the Secret Codes of
the Tarot. It is also a law which is very useful in the Camoin method of reading
the Tarot.

I observed in the beginning that the symbols in the Tarot appear multiple times in
the Major Arcana. Despite this, tarot readers tend to use the cards as archetypes
isolated from one another, and that seemed to me to be a contradiction.

Having a mathematical and logical mind, I understood immediately that there was a
coded structure in the Tarot.

For example, eagles, swords, towers, dogs, lions, wheels, etc. appear several
times.

I called this the "Law of Repetition".
