Pre-order The Complete Golden Dawn Tarot Deck
DUBLIN, IRELAND – Kerubim Press, independent publisher of occult books, is proud to announce our latest project, The Complete Golden Dawn Tarot Deck, the most complete and accurate version of the Order’s Tarot designs to date.
If you think you’ve already seen these designs, think again! Not only have many of the original drawings of the Major Arcana not been rendered accurately in published books or decks, but many of the higher Path cards have not been drawn to match the designs given by Mathers. Indeed, other decks have typically gone in vastly differently directions to the way the Golden Dawn deck was supposed to go.
Spearheading this project is Frater Yechidah, who has been working quietly on these designs for a number of years. With his signature serious and detailed research (as proven by his previous projects in this area) and an aptitude for spotting the trails left behind by Mathers and company, Yechidah looks to restore the original Tarot deck designs and recreate the missing cards via a combination of rare surviving descriptions, unpublished material, analysis of the inspirations Mathers employed (such as the works of Lévi and Wirth), careful combing of additional clues in the material, and numerous invocations to the forces behind the G.D., including the Great Angel HRU, set over the operation of the Secret Wisdom.
Whether it is the Drowned Giant symbolism of The Hanged Man or the Wheel of Fortune based around the parts of the Lotus Wand, the aim is to ensure the most complete, accurate, and authentic deck is recreated, offering the most consistent and interconnected Tarot teachings that work inherently with the rest of the Golden Dawn system, as the founders of the Order planned.
This will not only result in the most authoritative Golden Dawn Tarot deck to date, but a vital tool for more accurate Tarot divination, more effective magical workings, and more complete symbolism for insight and spiritual advancement.
In addition to the Tarot deck (offered in both black & white, which can be hand coloured, and colour versions, the latter based on a thorough analysis and application of surviving Order teachings on colour), Frater Yechidah will gradually unveil the recreated and restored designs month-by-month, with supporting evidence and arguments for the choices made (including alternate versions, where, for example, the Strength card may feature a Lion, a Dragon, or a Scorpion). These exclusive reports, featuring previously unpublished material, will be available only to supporters of this project, and will eventually form the backbone of a Making Of book, also available to order here.
