Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Gnostic Christian Tarot Saints lend themselves remarkably well to correspondences with the archetypal images of the Tarot. St. Francis, a Fool for Christ; St. Nicholas, the Miracle Worker (Magician); and St. Mary Magdalen, The First Papesse (High Priestess). Saints serve as examples of ideal behavior, values, and outlook. By nature, they are well suited to dispense insight and wisdom through the cards. In this beautiful new deck, their personalities bring life to the abstract images of the Tarot. Robert M. Place has created a powerful new tool for accessing the deepest mysteries of the mystical Christian tradition with the "Tarot of the Saints." These cards bring to life the spiritual force of these venerated beings in a way that is at once immediately accessible and deeply meaningful. The full-sized book included in this kit was specifically written to accompany the deck. It includes fresh, insightful interpretations, a history of the Tarot, instructions for divination and meditation, and a succinct overview of the Western mystery schools.
