Syncretic Tendencies: Teafaerie: Chapel Perilous & Synchronicity

The Metatron is a reference to the highest archangel of the Kabbalah at Kether or the crown. Metatron is also sometimes equated with Thoth or Hermes, author of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth – As is Above, So is Below – the merge of polarities at Zero Point. More properly, it should be associated with the supreme Egyptian god Ptah, also known as the Opener.

The wheel you refer to combines the symbology of Kabbalah with the Tarot cards and the 22 paths in the Tree of Life. The image is of an 8-spoked wheel with the secret vowels of the Tetragammaton (name of god) and the letters ROTA, which means Wheel – however if you transpose the letters it spells “TARO”. There are other esoteric symbols relating to the elements and processes involved. You should be able to find this image in books or websites dealing with the Tarot. The connections between Alchemy and the Qabbalah are among the deepest mysteries, and are gone into a later stage in the course.
