On a Magical Halloween Night

"You're a shining star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be"
                                                                                           ~EARTH WIND AND FIRE
Isn't that what we all know deep inside? That we are all shining stars?  Isn't that what we want to have affirmed by the magicians in our life?  A magic potion perhaps to drink? A bag of magical coins? A magic sword that will slay  your worst enemy or perhaps something even mightier: a magic  pen that will rewrite your history the way you want to see it?  Or that ever empowering magic staff, topped with the jewel or sign that belies your power source?
This magician presents them all to you...   or does he?   ...on this cold marble altar.
This magician is Giordano Bruno: friar, scientist, romantic writer and friend of Shakespeare, and heretic that was burned at the stake for speaking freely of his thought s and beliefs.  He reminds us that what  is offered has a price. With great power comes great responibility, and the price one pays is often in blood.
Each artifact is one of the four suits. They are the cup, the quill, the disk and the  staff,  and each play a part in the layered story that this Tarot presents. Because before Tarot ever was a parlor game for divining fortunes, or gambling in a game of tarrochi, this was a very special art gallery for adults. A story hidden deeper within each picture, so that when all 78 are put together, a nonlinear, three dimensional story appears. Because it is "visual literacy,"  each reader will interpret the story just a little  bit different. And if the reader sees a little bit of themself, well that's because looking into a piece of art is so much more powerful than looking into a mirror. You will see your reflection looking back at you. And Tarot begins by dividing   4  very different background settings to which the story occurs: Earth, water, air and fire, symbolized by the coin, the cup, the quill, and the staff.
If you were to give a modern title to these ancient four, one would say they are examples of the four different states of particles: solid, liquid, gaseous and photonic. Yet when you look at each you realize that symbolically, these four things are what humanity has wanted to gain power over since the very beginning. Weather  spiritually or scientifically, we raise ourselves to the level of mage in the eyes of the rest of the mundane world. We become the shining star that we always knew we were inside.
I believe on this time of the thinnest veil, Giordano Bruno, would ask you"
" To what ends are you taking these gifts?"
And
"What price as you willing to pay?"
Because there is magic in the Water Earth Wind and Fire.

The Most Controversial Tarot Deck in History


The Magdalene Legacy Tarot

Lost Keys of the Madonna



This Tarot deck was created to challenge the thinking of Tarot Readers, of Christianity, of The Arts, and of of the Sacred Feminine. The central belief proposed by its creators, Casey Duhamel and Deborah L Shutek Jackson (DLSJ) is that the real Message of Jesus was hijacked by the Roman Empire, and  The Sacred Feminine, one half of his teachings, were overwritten 300 years after his birth/death. The Original Tarot Majors were the secret underground teachings of those who followed the the original teachings of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. As taught to them by his Mother, the "Great Mary". 

In the spirit of the original Tarot Decks, Casey and Deborah combine inspiration from  the great classical artists, as well as Tarot symbol experts to bring women a new Catechism from which to grow, from HER side of the story.

Although Casey and Deborah consider this deck as Sacred Text, Inspired from the heart of the Sacred Feminine, herself, It follows the most meticulous rules of tarot creation, regarding color, position, symbology, and spirituality for those who will use this deck for reading purposes.

Many many layers of meaning have been incorporated into each card, which is why this deck took seven years to create. It is not a deck for anybody wanting to be spoonfed, but rather for the SEEKER, who is willing to take this Journey into the Realms of Sacred Humanity.
