The traditional Tarot deck is a collection of 78 illustrated cards, speculated to have originated in the 15th century or even earlier. On the surface level, the decks were used as playing cards for mere entertainment. Yet under closer inspection, the illustrations reveal a profound archetypal language, speaking to a universal story of humankind’s heroic journey to find meaning in this complex universe.
Although hundreds of decks have been re-imagined by different artists over the years, the meaning of the individual cards remains consistent. 22 cards comprise the Major Arcana (Big Secret) and the other 56 cards make up the Minor Arcana (Little Secret).
The “Bearded Journey Tarot” deck is a black and white version of my original illustrated deck called “Journey of the Bearded Tarot”. As in the original deck, these cards can be laid out in a linear fashion, following the lineup of this website, revealing several hidden journeys through both Major and Minor Arcana.
The deck serves as a way to view life, moment to moment, from a multitude of perspectives, giving insight into that which might normally remain hidden. Take part in the "Bearded Journey Tarot" alone or with others.
