Preface

You read this blog like a book, from the top down. It has three sections:

(1) Introduction
(2) The Pyramids
(3) The signs at the edges 

(Also, here are links to other blog-essays of mine related to Etteilla:
http://etteillastrumps.blogspot.com/, in which I transcribe and translate Etteilla's comments on the trump cards of his deck, in his 2nd Cahier. 
http://thirdcahier.blogspot.com/ , with the original French and my translation of Etteilla's 3rd  Cahier, pus its supplements. These discuss the keywords on the cards and how to do readings.
http://neopythagoreanisminthetrot.blogspot.com/, discussing Etteilla's followers' word-lists for the numeral cards and connects them, by means of Neopythagorean writings, with the corresponding images of the Sola-Busca deck of c. 1491 and the Waite-Smith deck of 1910.
And  http://etteillasangelology.blogspot.com/, translating and discussing the portion of Etteilla's 1785 book Philosophie des Hautes Sciences that deals with the "72 angels of God".)
