  DIAGRAM  4.   THE  CADUCEUS      This diagram illustrates the Tree of Life, the Cosmos as the Wand or creative force of  Mercury, that is of the balanced energy which has created the illusion of existence. It will be  noted that the shape of the symbol shows the three Mother letters of the Hebrew alphabet,  Shin, Aleph and Mem, in its three sections.    The importance of this symbol is mainly that the Tarot is primarily the Book of Thoth  or Tahuti, the Egyptian Mercury. For the understanding of this book it is necessary to learn  how to transmute instinctively and automatically every simple symbol into every complex  symbol and back again; for only so is it possible to realize the unity and diversity which is the  solution of the cosmic problem.
