This groundbreaking deck redefines Tarot imagery, and emerges in the metaphysical landscape as a new paradigm in the technology of self-discovery and empowerment.
One of today’s most talked-about and popular avenues of personal and spiritual growth is the ancient, yet newly rediscovered Qabalah or Kaballah. In the past, the crucial connection between Tarot and the Qabalah has often been obscured or ignored. Tarot of the Sephiroth brings this connection to life by portraying the diagram known as the Tree of Life, possibly the most effective matrix for human consciousness ever devised.
The Tree of Life maps the creation process, both on a human and cosmic scale. The key to the Tree is its ten stations of energy called spheres, or sephiroth. In its truest form, the purpose of Tarot is to illustrate and illuminate the nature of these spheres. Tarot of the Sephiroth achieves this through its stunning imagery and revolutionary design.
“The Qabalah – a.k.a caballa, quaballah, kabbala, kabalah, cabala et al; the various spellings reference the same body of work overall – is a system of personal evolution predicated on engaging the universal forces of creation. In the past, the crucial connection between Tarot and the Qabalah has often been obscured or ignored.
