The Hermetic axiom that the structure of the cosmos is reflected at every scale — 'as above, so below; as within, so without' — making each level a legible map of the others.

The section 'Absolute Analogy with the Tarot' and 'Astronomic Tarot' implies the Hermetic principle of correspondence between Tarot, Astronomy, and Human Life.

Narratives or doctrines of cosmic origin — how heaven, earth, and the primordial deities first came into being. The Kojiki's deities born alone on the Plain of High Heaven, Voluspo's Ginnungagap, Genesis's tohu wa-bohu, the Timaeus's Demiurge fashioning the Receptacle, the Hesiodic Theogony, the Kalevala's egg-cosmogony, Egyptian Nun-and-Atum. Distinct from emanation_hierarchy (structural-ontological cascade), letters_of_creation (mechanism of creation), and apocatastasis/frashokereti (end-state restoration); cosmogony is temporally-narrative beginning.

The text explicitly lists 'COSMOGONY' as a major section and discusses the 'Constitution of the Universe' and 'Theogony of Divers Religions'.

A chain of divine beings or principles flowing downward from a single transcendent source (the One or the Father), each level less perfect than the one above.

The text outlines a structured progression from Theogony (God) to Androgony (Man) to Cosmogony (Universe) via Septenaries, implying a cascading divine structure.

A historical or mythical chain of transmission for secret wisdom from master to disciple across time and cultures — the credential of the teaching, not merely its content. Distinct from oral_tradition (the spoken-not-written modality of transmission, which a lineage may or may not use) and hidden_sayings (the concealment-for-readiness of a teaching's meaning, independent of who transmitted it or in what unbroken chain).

The text lists 'THE AUTHORS WHO HAVE INTERESTED THEMSELVES IN THE TAROT' including Raymond Lulle, Eliphas Levi, and St. de Guaita, establishing a chain of transmission.

Esoteric teachings reserved for those ready to receive them; outer meaning conceals an inner liberating truth.

The text refers to 'Symbolical Tarot' and 'General Key', implying that the cards contain concealed meanings requiring interpretation.

The ritual admission of an individual into esoteric knowledge or a sacred order through a formal rite of passage — testing, ordeal, or ceremony — marking a definite before/after threshold in the initiate's status and access. Distinct from hidden_sayings (the doctrine being concealed, not the rite of admission to it) and esoteric_lineage (the historical chain of transmission across generations, not a single individual's admission).

The text includes a section titled 'THE INITIATIVE TAROT' and mentions 'Phases of Initiation represented by the Tarot'.

The twenty-two Hebrew letters as the building blocks through which God creates and sustains all existence.

The text references the 'Kabbalistic Tarot' and lists Hebrew letters (Zain, Cheth, Teth, etc.) associated with each Major Arcana card.

The human being as a small-scale image of the entire cosmos; the body, soul, and intellect mirroring the structure of the heavens and the divine — distinct from correspondence in that it makes the human the privileged mirror.

The text lists 'Constitution of Man' and 'Constitution of the Universe' as parallel summaries, suggesting the human reflects the cosmic structure.

Numbers, proportions, and mathematical relationships as the underlying structure of divine reality.

The text organizes the Tarot into 'Septenaries' (groups of seven) and references specific card numbers (13th, 14th, etc.) as keys to cosmic structure.

The soul's journey back to its divine origin, reversing the fall into matter through stages of purification or illumination.

The section 'Involution and Evolution' suggests a cyclical process of descent and return inherent in the Tarot's symbolism.
