Re: Premier Principes Tarot

From 'Tarot of the Bohemians" and illustrated with the Premier Principes Tarot An arrangement of the reflections of Yod through the Minor Arcana. It is rooted in the first Major Arcanum: The Juggler holds the wand of the Mage in the left hand, which he raises, and the four great symbols of the...

Premier Principes Tarot

Dear All, I'm still inching closer to a 'Premier Principes' launch on Kickstarter :D BUT :D the prototype has been made and I can share some images of what came out. This Tarot is an ode to 19th century occultism, particularly that of Levi and Papus, and really explores the Kabbalistic/numerological...

Re: First Principles Tarot - Interpreting Papus' "TotB"

Wow Loracular! You really catched my drift <3 Like you I also purchaced the 'Papus' deck but it does not give any insight into or handles for this really interesting take on Kabbalah and astrology. I went through Tarot of the Bohemians with a dust comb a couple of times and found a way to put this m...

Re: First Principles Tarot - Interpreting Papus' "TotB"

Thanks man! I like the Terrence Malick film you brought up, yes that will resonate with how I approached creating this deck. I understand this is a niche deck. Although I did keep the regular structure of the Tarot, much has been reinvented. At least how arcana are identified. I have been working ti...

First Principles Tarot - Interpreting Papus' "TotB"

Hi All, It has been quite some while since I have been around here. But I have missed this place :) I haven been into Tarot too long, just some years and I really see myself still as a student. About a year ago I took a step back from reading Tarot after I started reading extensively 'about' Tarot. ...

Odd how reality seems to fold with us sometimes when we go about our business. Nothing odd about it at all. Jung called it synchronicity. In my jargon, it's called "seek and thee shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto thee". My jargon is much more poetical ! 🌷 In the mean time the ...

I see your point and how you mean it. This actually helped me a lot again.

Contrary to you I did fi...

Re: Seeing the World: Tarot Signposts on the Path to Perception by Jean-Claude Flornoy

You mentioned Kabbalah prompting you to return a book to the shelf; Tarot and Kabbalah don't mix? I'm wondering this since reading into Thoth. I get the astrological correspondence part, just when tied in with Kabbalah I tend to doubt. Greetings Monk, I explained my perspective on this in my bio: “...
