I have been a bit devious here, leading you down, a strange and curvy path. The reason I write that, is all of the previous time would then date the written Bible to about 350 BC when Alexander conquered Judah, renamed it Judea, and so introduced the Greek alphabet.
This is the theory of one writer, Kieran Barry, and his Greek Qabalah. The problem with it is that the Hebrew Alphabet -- its written language -- is historically assigned to Moses, who if you saw the Ten Commandments by Cecil B. DeMille (who was Dutch descent btw), could not have lived at the same time as Alexander, and in actuality Moses did not but 1000 years ago, in 1400 BC.
So does that mean everything I have previously wrote is wrong? No, just the dates. Here is a link to Mr Barry's very poorly researched tome. In the future posts we will explore the real Kabbalah as the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley (hint) accepted it in a time when learned men studied Ancient Greek, Latin and Hebrew in college and you will see how the Hebrew and Greek alphabets came from the same source: the Egyptian.
Tarot - a deck of cards with which one plays a game Imperfect - not complete, not perfect, wanting a part, liable to err, not perfect in a moral view, faulty, designating a tense of the verb which denotes an action in time past, then present, but yet not finished.
