Paul Foster Case was a founding member of BOTA Builders of the Adytum and one of the leading scholars in using the visualizations of the Tarot to better understand the the vast meanings of the Tree of Life. I find his work thoughtful, intellectually digestible, and very helpful in my studies of the Kabbalah.
I have always been one who learns best through the use of visualizations and especially through patterns. Thus, I find PFC's work quite attractive for both it's style and content. As anyone who has studied Kabbalah knows, there are so many intricacies and paths for thought that it can be a daunting if not frustrating endeavor when trying to understand the depth of meaning presented in the Tree of Life. PFC's uses the Tarot, not for divination, but as a visual allegory, to help the student better understand the intricacies of the Tree of Life.
If you are interested in exploring his work for yourself I recommend: The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages http://www.amazon.com/Tarot-Key-Wisdom-Ages/dp/1585424919/ref=la_B000APSN22_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407242814&sr=1-1 ;, Book of Tokens http://www.amazon.com/Book-Tokens-Tarot-Meditations-Paul-Case/dp/0938002007/ref=la_B000APSN22_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407242814&sr=1-7. ;
