d. Have a look at what appears on the other side

In the first instance, the beginner is advised to have a good look round and return immediately to his

original state. As he becomes more advanced, however, he may venture further and further into the

area revealed by the card. He should always remember, however, no matter how far he explores to

return by the same route, leaving by the same door which he visualizes firmly as closing after him. If

you are working with a system such as the Qabalistic Tree of Life, you may find alternative 'ways

home' by returning to Malkuth via other Paths. In any case, it is a good rule to follow, always to

exactly retrace one's steps on a path working.

e. Come back through the door

This is almost too obvious to be stated as a separate step. However it is as well to remember especially

when beginning this sort of working, that the 'door' exists in the first place by virtue of the original

visualization, and it is sometimes necessary to consciously strengthen the image, at this stage, in order

to see clearly where one is.

f. Visualize the card in place against the closed door

This is so that one returns exactly to 'square one' as it were, and the door is seen as closed, so that there

is no 'leakage' into everyday life.

g. Re-affirm one's presence in the physical world

This is done by speaking a phrase, a single word, or clapping. Again it is to avoid the inter-penetration

of levels.

h. Signify the end of the path working

Use the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.

i. Write up the experience in full

This step should be considered part of the working, not only because it provides a record of what

happened for future reference - not just because it, like the rest of your work, should be entered in the

Magical Diary - but also because it serves to 'earth' the experience and the magician.

The Minor Arcana:

This consists of the remaining fifty-six cards of the Tarot pack which are divided into four suits of

fourteen cards, like the standard playing card pack, plus one extra court card in each suit represented

variously in different packs by the 'Page' or the 'Princess'.

Each of the Tarot suits is ascribed to one of the four Magical elements, thus:
