Second corner-stone in Tarot’s occult though: Numerology

Case : 306. 
The first link between numerology and tarot was established by Etteilla in 18th century, and mostly forgotten for century caused by the high influence of kabbalah theory. In the Golden Dawn system, numerology is studied under the relation with hebrew letter in gematria, below which, the numerology is never  established as an independent theory. The first tarology book which studied numerology is the famous Le Tarot: Le symbole, les arcanes, la divination of the occultist Joshep Maxwell (1858-1938), published by Felix Alcan. Translated by Ivor Powell in 1975, the book become famous in english-speakings countries and well known as the basic book of numerology in tarot. Very few, or frankly, the only one deck dedicated in this theory is Tarot Numerologique (Numerological Tarot) of Richard Bennett, published by Grimaud in 1986. Another  mystical work Tarot Numerologico, published by Fournier (1997), use the fraction to illustrated each tarot cards.
