As I continue the process of painting the Minor Arcana I am constantly amazed by the genius of the Golden Dawn Color Scales. (The chart is from Lelandra.com, and I find it a good one barring monitor differences as colors can be hard to accurately portray online) In this post I’ll walk you through the […]
Mozes Ashkenazi, who did Aeclectic’s review of the Majors edition, has posted a review of the Tabula Mundi Nox et Lux edition on Aeclectic Tarot. He also posted it as a thread here, so please thank him there for taking the time to put down his thoughts for public consumption! He is very knowledgeable esoteric scholar and I […]
Well the Thanksgiving holidays had some of each… I did take a few days off making it an extra long weekend and got a lot of painting time. I also rescanned all of the color minors to date with a different scanner. They came out a lot better, and I’ve updated most of the pictures […]

Right after I finished painting the Major Arcana, and was about to start creating the Minor Arcana, I had a dream about finding an instrument that played colored lights instead of sound. It seemed like […]
Happy Crowleymas to you all! In the trickster spirit, I thought the Beast might appreciate some joking. Here is poking a little fun at AE Waite, a favorite pastime of his: And a joke: How many Thelemites does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two, if they fit. For tonight, I hope to toast Uncle […]
