The tarot has always been a true source of mystery to mankind. Contained within its many pictorials and hidden symbolism are the secrets and arcane teachings of the Ancient Masters and civilizations that have long since faded from the archives of ancient history. Most of us have come to know the Tarot as a fascinating progression of miscellaneous pictures illustrating people at work, at play or transfixed in various action postures that somehow convey a meaning seemingly known only to them. In an effort to decode them, we read, meditate upon and diligently study these illustrations, hoping that the characters and their messages will cosmically ignite our soul's metaphysical memory. We have been taught that by using the cards as tools in a "reading" or card "layout", we will be guided by Spirit to the answers we seek and the wisdom we desire. As such, the Tarot has been accepted by most as a tool of "divination" or fortune telling.

Until twelve years ago, I too considered the Tarot to be just a unique and divinely inspired source of guidance and answers. Then one day I was shown information that provided a whole new perspective on its use and understanding. I discovered that not only does the Tarot "predict" or assess future patterns, but is also a body of knowledge sequentially assembled in such a manner as to act as a Master teacher to guide each of us into a state of human bodily perfection. The information was extracted from the lectures of Carl Jung given during his early European tours around the turn of the century. Jung taught that the Major Arcana (first 22 trump cards) contained hidden symbolism and instruction on how our Creative Will (the self conscious), by using our intellect as its agent, can spark and initiate a bio-chemical process that will enable us to raise our consciousness by more perfectly replicating the cells of our body.

As specific truths about each card are learned and assimilated into consciousness, we undergo a transformation within our psyche and soul essence that actually trigger the release of specific hormones contained within the ductless glands of our body. The resulting biophysical changes produce and construct higher vibrational (more spiritual) cell structures throughout the entire body. It's through these newly clarified cells that the Invisible White Light of the Creator can endow you with life-force and greater spirituality.

It’s my joy to share these higher principles of transformation with you so you might begin your journey through the 22 steps of enlightenment leading to the sanctification and development of a more spiritualized body-physical.
