The other day, I mentioned the fact that the background for Empress, Emperor and the Hierophant card was one big continous picture in the Initatory Tarot of the Golden Dawn. What I did not mention (because it did not occur to me until a couple of hours later) is that these three cards are considered a set by Golden Dawn if you consider their source sephirah. I have not seen any work done along these lines (or at least none published), so I thought I would list the source sephiroth and the cards that arise from them.
Kether: Fool, Magician and High Priestess
Chokmah: Empress, Emperor and Hierophant (High Priest)
Binah: Lovers and the Chariot
Chesed: Strength, Hermit and the Wheel of Fortune
Geburah: Justice and the Hanged Man
Tiphareth: Death, Temperance and the Devil
Netzach: the Lightning-blasted Tower, the Star and the Moon
Hod: the Sun and Last Judgment
Yesod: the Universe (the World)
