Card of the Month

1 The Magician

The Magician

by Yury Shakov from the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg, published by US Games, Inc.

The Magician is the first of the Major Arana and has the number 1 associated with it. In the image of The Magician we see a young man, which is the hieroglyph symbol of the card. The young man is standing with one arm raised and one arm lowered, symbolizing the above and the below, but more importantly the two polar opposites are unified by his body, in the symbol of the Aleph. Which is one of the major ideas of this image, Unity, also represented by the number one.

Fool's Tarot Mosaic v0.1.0




The Fool's Tarot Mosaic was inspired by an analogy Elizabeth Haich had used in her book Wisdom Of The Tarot, in which she compares man to a mosaic. Each small piece fits into place to create a whole.

The button above will cast the 77 cards of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Each card image has had the borders removed and has been shrunk to a tiny 5x9 pixel image. Together these 77 images will form a colage creating an image of the Fool and his point on the path. The means to reproduce this image with a full size Tarot deck are also given.
