Meditations on the Egyptian Tarot -
Traveling Along the Royal Path This full color lovely limited edition book was created by
Vicki Brewer of the Church of Light
According to Brotherhood of Light tradition each person is born to fulfill a unique purpose in God’s Great Plan.
Through many incarnations the soul travels the upward arc of the Cycle of Necessity. Each new form attracts experiences that help it grow in ability and in degrees of awareness. Birth into the human form creates the first opportunity to develop self awareness. Over time, differences between self, others and environment are observed. Eventually the question arises; “Who am I?”
One set of markers handed down from generation to generation, within Brotherhood of Light tradition, was originally in the form of tablets. As a collection, the tablets formed what is known as “The Royal Path” or tarot. According to C. C. Zain, “Each of these tablets relates to a distinct potency of the human soul, and to one of the essential steps that the neophyte must take to reach the climax of human possibilities and become the exalted adept, heir elect of the angels, who may realize while yet in the flesh his Self-Conscious Immortality.”
As a meditation tool, the tarot arcana have access to the unconscious mind through the archetypal stories and images. Each arcanum sheds light on principles of life, often neglected because of demands of daily living. The symbolic images or archetypes provide an avenue whereby the unconscious mind can bring forward information about personal experiences and unresolved questions regarding events and experiences. The earnest seeker can make magical discoveries when the text and images match personal experience and insight.
It is divided into three sections:
1-Ideas on how to use this book.
2-The second section includes the “Mantram of the Will” and Eliphas Levi’s mantram, considered to be the feminine partner to the “Mantram of the Will.” Both mantras summarize the tenets of the ancient Wisdom Religion with each stanza, by associating the corresponding major arcanum in its verse.
3-The third section illustrates in full color the twenty-two Major Arcana with thought-provoking text from The Sacred Tarot designed to focus the mind’s eye on universal truths that shed light on the path of life.
In the quiet of your meditation space, wander through the images and text. Ponder what might be the intent behind them. Think about the drama of the admonition. Consider the divinitory significance. Get a dictionary. Consider how the significance changes according to the dimension of consciousness . . . then, as the voice of silence softly tugs at your attention, listen.

After recreating the missing cards from the 15th century Tarocchi decks to form the U.S. Games' reproduction of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot, Luigi Scapini was inspired to create his own version of the Tarot in a similar genre.
The resulting Medieval Scapini Tarot is a very interesting blend of 15th century imagery and contemporary artwork. The dark, gold-and-bronze colors and realistic representations of the Visconti Sforza Tarot appear to juxtapose in stark, yet pleasant, contrast with the vivid colors and near-caricature additions of the artist.
Travel back to the grandeur of 15th century Italy through the art of this tarot deck. The Middle Ages are recreated with symbols, costumes, and settings against gold backgrounds.
From Shakespeare to Leonardo da Vinci, from Louis the Sun King to Queen Elizabeth, the Renaissance was a colorful time of artistic genius and absolute monarchs. This period Tarot deck captures the artistry and diversity of an age when velvet-draped courtiers walked the marble halls of palaces while peasant farmers toiled in the fields. The spirit, the civilization, and the culture of an epoch of great artistic and cultural energy call forth from these suggestive cards.

An absolutely stunning display of lavish gold foil and exquisite Renaissance art, this deck is pure magic and mystery!
The shimmering gold reflects the light, seducing the intuition and delighting the eye. This deck is a treasure, truly a must-have for all Tarot enthusiasts. Originally commissioned in 1450 by the Duke of Milan, and attributed to Bonifacio Bembo, this is a reproduction of the oldest extant Tarot deck.
Perhaps the oldest—and certainly the most complete—example of the Tarot, known by a variety of names. Attributed to Bonifacio Bembo, they were commissioned in 1450 for Filippo Maria Visconti, the Duke of Milan, Italy. Because they weren’t finished until his successor, Francesco Sforza, was in office, this deck is often called the Visconti-Sforza Tarot or simply the Visconti Tarot. Today, part of the deck is housed in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, part is kept at the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, and the rest are held in the private collection of the Colleoni family also of Bergamo. As a result of its current ownership, it is also known as the Morgan-Bergamo version of the Tarot.
The Booklet that accompanies the deck includes a bit of history and information, divinatory meanings and a five card position spread. The instructions for using this spread are interesting. You separate the Majors and Minors. Then you only use the suit associated with your question, followed by just the Majors, giving you ten cards on the five-position spread. This technique can be added to any Tarot reading that answers a question.
