This book situates Tarot in its ancient roots, with particular emphasis on the tradition of the Mystery Schools. The suites are designated as "Earth, Water, Air and Fire" rather than the conventional Pentacles, Cups, Swords and Wands. The first part of the book is a review of the ancient sources of Tarot and the dynamics of the archetypes, with interesting sidelights on the author's personal experiences in this realm. In chapters such as The Grammar of the Goddess, The Path of Serapis and An Ancient Temple Calverley uncovers evidence for the grounding of Tarot's internal structure in the esoteric wisdom of the ancient Mystery Schools. In the second part of the book, the writer follows The Fool on an adventure in which he experiences each of the figures of the Major Arcanum and arrives at the deeper wisdom which Tarot has to teach. He is instructed by The Magician, The Priestess and The Hermit about the meanings and wisdom of Tarot, which he discovers to be a "Book of Truth."

This unique deck links tarot with the magic of its ancient roots. The images of the Major Arcana are based on sacred temple art from the Mystery Schools of Egypt, Greece, Mesopotamia and India, while images of megaliths, sacred fountains and stone temples are used to portray the four sacred elements in the Minor Arcana. Roger Calverley has crafted this deck for divination and initiation, the background and the process of which is described in detail in his book, Ancient Mysteries Tarot. Many of the designs on these cards were developed during his travels in India, Thailand, Egypt, Greece and Crete, where he painted the art and ruins of the ancient world. Each card can be read on four levels of meaning, relating to Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Ether. 78 cards plus insert booklet.

Ancient Mysteries Tarot Deck

Thousands of years before the Aryan invasion of Europe, the people of Old Europe created sacred signs, the Primal Runes, and gave birth to our most ancient ancestral tradition of divination and magic. Based on the phases of the Moon, these archetypal rune-forms each have a sacred sound; they form a complete system of invocation and empowerment. Ordered according to the 28 stages of the waxing and waning Moon and the five sacred elements, these ancient runes give direct access to the secret power and the timeless greatness of the Goddess herself.
