Publisher's Synopsis
Wisdom's Chariot: the Christian Mystic Tarot explores a central concept in life by examining humanity's dance with death and quest for eternal life, as documented by the Judeo-Christian Mystics of Alchemy and Kabbalah of the past. WARNING: THIS IS ONLY A GUIDEBOOK AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A DECK OF TAROT CARDS. The cards are rich in symbolism, and were created by revitalizing the works for various Judeo-Christian Mystics over the past several centuries whose works are now in the public domain. Throughout history, Christian Mystics, Rosicrucians, and Alchemists have embarked on the most fundamental spiritual quest, which has been referred to by names such as the Quest for the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of Life, or the Completion of the Great Work. All of these titles refer to the same quest; the efforts of mankind to overcome original sin, purify their souls, and triumph over death. The Wisdom's Chariot tarot documents this journey with recreations of wood engravings by various Judeo-Christian Mystics and Alchemists who devoted their lives to that pursuit. This Tarot Deck contains 78 cards, divided into the four suits in the Minor Arcana and 22 cards in the Major Arcana. This deck is loaded with symbolism. If your style of tarot reading is based more on the interpretation of images and symbolism, then this deck will inspired you to contemplate humanity's timeless struggle with original sin, the purification of the soul, and quest for eternal salvation.
