Welcome to a world where ancient wisdom meets contemporary insight, and mysticism and practicality intertwine to offer guidance and understanding. The Tao of Tarot is an illuminating journey into the universe of Tarot. It was designed to bring new light to the exoteric archetypes of this age-old divination system while unveiling the esoteric mysteries, the hidden layers accessible only to initiates of esoteric teachings and secret mystery schools.
About the Tao of Tarot
Explore the Tao of Tarot and the Hidden Arcana Tarot, an expanded system blending myth, archetypes, and esoteric wisdom for self-discovery and transformation.
Exploring the Wisdom of the Tao of Tarot
Chuang Tzu once dreamed he was a butterfly. Upon waking, he wondered if he was a man who dreamed he was a butterfly, or a butterfly who dreamed he was a man? This story captures the essence of imagination: the bridge between the known and the unknown. Myths have always helped humanity explain life’s mysteries. They tell us how the world began, but Tarot, and especially the Tao of Tarot, goes further by allowing us to ask why.
What Is the Tao of Tarot?
The Tao of Tarot is a modern guide that restores Tarot to its original purpose: a multidimensional instrument of self-discovery and spiritual growth. Instead of reducing Tarot to entertainment or fortune-telling, this approach honors the deck as a mirror of the human soul and the archetypal forces that shape existence. This is accomplished through The Hidden Arcana Tarot Deck and Guidebook.
Alongside the 78 traditional cards, the Hidden Arcana Tarot adds four rediscovered archetypes that deepen readings:
- The Adept – symbolizing spiritual maturity after life’s Fool’s Journey.
- The Almuten Figuris – a guide and guardian through life’s labyrinth.
- The Spiritrix – the 23rd Arcana, representing the reader’s influence and the hermetic maxim: “As above, so below; as within, so without.”
- The Castles – embodying the five elemental forces: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit.
Why the Tarot Matters Today
The Tao of Tarot helps seekers reflect and reconnect with wisdom traditions. Through the weaving of myth, philosophy, and symbolism, it provides clarity on life’s patterns and choices, transforms archetypes into guides of transformation, and offers tools for self-reflection, healing, and spiritual evolution
This makes the Tao of Tarot both mystical and practical, a map for the journey of life.
