This text is taken from my book Ideology of the Tarot.

At the end of this chapter, I would like to mention the six
principles of Hermeticism embedded in the worldview of those who founded the
occult ideology of the tarot:
1) The world is a living being, and everything within it possesses a soul, which is essentially an animistic viewpoint;
2) Imagination holds fundamental importance in understanding the world and communicating with its living soul;
3) The theory of correspondences, that is, the significance of understanding the interconnectedness of things and phenomena;
4) The theory of transmutation, or the developmental change of everything, which, over time, improves its nature, i.e., evolves;
5) Perennial philosophy, the belief that all cultures and traditions share common characteristics and patterns as well as the same longing for mystical experience. This reflects the belief that all cultures and religions originate from the same source in some indefinite time in the past that we can label as the Golden Age;
6) Spiritual truth is transmitted through initiation.
