The other day I received samples of the new papyrus edition of Rosetta Tarot. It was kind of weird how it happened, and I still cannot explain it and neither can the only other witness. I only tell you this, because it was, umm strange as shit. Well, sh*t isn’t strange it is just a duty but you know what I […]
This may be the world’s first esoteric pop up book. I showed Part one, the beginning pages of the book, during the Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus tarot kickstarter. If you missed Part I, here it is again: and at long last here is Part II, the middle of the book:
Since the papyrus edition of the Rosetta tarot deck is a redux of the deck first published in 2011, rather than share about the process for the art itself which is already done, I thought I’d share some of the process behind the new borders being made now, because that is what is exciting to me […]
My first tarot deck, before Tabula Mundi, was called the Rosetta Tarot and was published in November 2011. I currently still have some pocket size versions in a tin for it, both with the card bank design (a version of a rose cross) on the tin, or a custom tin with either your choice of card or the […]
The Feast of Stars: Nuit, the Maiden, and the Holy Harlot Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. February has some of my favorite holidays: February 1st/2nd and February 14th. February 1st, or 2nd, may be my favorite one of all. This is one of the cross quarter days, halfway between […]
(Soundtrack, just because hey the post is called the rising sun: House of the Rising Sun: Eric Burdon of the Animals – have a quick listen even for a minute and consider his voice; this 23 year old kid truly had some pipes! He has Sun conjunct Saturn, in Taurus decan 2, and Mercury conjunct Venus, in Taurus […]
If you have seen the movie Pulp Fiction, like everyone else you may have been wondering what was in the briefcase, as it was never revealed in the film. We see the briefcase from behind as it is opened, emitting a mysterious golden glow. Fans have all sorts of theories, ranging from: gold an […]
On August 22 and 23, I finished the 93rd card, the last card of the Babalon edition. On those days, the Sun was conjunct the fixed star Regulus. Regulus, meaning “prince” or “little king” is the fixed star located in the constellation Leo, the alpha or brightest star of the constellation. Regulus is also called […]
I thought I’d both show some progress on the secret zodiacal cards coming with the Babalon edition of Tabula Mundi, but also show something about the creation process, and how actually instead of 12 secret zodiacal cards that are obtained by combining the three minors of each sign, there are actually a much larger number […]
As mentioned in the Colores Arcus Kickstarter, the Babalon edition will have at least 12 extra cards. Ever wonder what I was referring to on page 77 of Book M, or in the Nox et Lux Kickstarter, when I mentioned that the Tabula Mundi minors contained secret zodiacal cards? Finally I am here to reveal […]
