True Tarot
A WORKING HYPOTHESIS I The Grimaud Ancien Tarot de Marseilledelivered by Paul Marteau around 1930 - is The TRUE TAROT de MARSEILLE (TdM). II The Grimaud TdM is a COPY of a LOST" (Conver-) edition - apparently from 1748 (about 40 years ahead of The French Revolution... ) - as claimed on the 2 of coins of this special deck. It is common knowledge by now that Nicolas did VARIATIONS of his cards. He disguised - and spoiled - his cards for SECRETIVE REASONS - but The Grimaud TdM emanates from the original. III The Grimaud TdM features DETAILS which are not present in the preserved 1760 Conver TdM. Those details are more practical than mythical" - and they serve as an inbuilt CONSTRUCTION MANUAL. By comparison of The CARDS - e.g. No I (the 2 dices on the table) e.g. No VII (the additional rivets on the breastplate of the cuirass) - you can see that the alterations are small - but they are effective. I
Paul Marteau mainly arranged the colors in a new and (sometimes... ) more narrative way. A very good example is his work on the garland of The Dancing Goddess on SECRET No XXI and on the plain-colored appearance of The GODDESS herself. The color scheme of this deck has NO mythical aspect to it - it is mostly practical - in a few places meaningful (e. g. at the bottom of The WORLD resides a crown - by Nicolas disguised with red - but The Grimaud TdM presents this treasure in clear outline and plain view... ) - and often distracting... IIII The CONSTRUCTION MANUAL - if you know how to use it and you can manage to stand back from fortune telling for a while - leads to a structure. A self-deploying court with club-trained players. A frame with movable parts - like a clockwork or like an astrolabe (or a modern e-book - the hardware and the operating system stay the same - but if you load" another program... a different content with additional information is released on the very same display... ) - and its purpose is to show the entanglement of ALL creation - and help to navigate in this JUNGLE" - or ORCHARD" - depending on the POV and the stage of development. Every level bears another principle of arrangement - and step by step The CARDS pick up their assignments and connotations. Every system The CARDS are acquainted with from ancestry and parentage is introduced for education and evaluation during the interactive and progressive flow of motion in this evolutionary dance... From this - to the uninitiated and accidental - or eavesdropping - witness inconceivable card-patterns and their overheard explanations - all those cheerfully cherished traditions" in card reading" were bred like mal(in)formed idiopathic orphans... II
Using The TAROT (especially The TdM) for oracle purposes is like tearing your computer apart and baptizing the dismantled hardware with fancy names and wishful meanings only to toss those holy relics" around and now call this barbarianism computing"... ...not the smartest way to use a pc but surely entertaining! On an early level it is like breaking a chessboard into 64 pieces and shuffle them along with the chessmen to draw some of them later assuming THAT'S how to play chess. V The Grimaud Ancien Tarot de Marseille is a transcription of the antique equivalent of modern-day M-Theory - or - in other words...

CORROBORATION
The first step is recognizing The TRUE MEANING of The WORLD - SECRET No XXI - as A MAP of The WHOLE CREATION... ...and a PROTOCOL of The GREAT WORK in the making The Dancing Goddess entwined with The North Wind...
...and then getting your largest table and The CARDS (and prepare yourself for the first VIDEO game ever!) ...
PREFACE Every trip requires a setting in this case - a dead receptive state of mind... I strongly recommend that you watch this before you go any further...

As you can imagine i did not urge you to go there to make fun of those believers. In a way their belief is much more grounded than some other spiritual systems - but now fancy - just for a moment that they somehow prevailed and those spiritual leaders set out to reform aeronautics... The TdM is as you will see much more delicate than it is thought to be. EVERY line EVERY detail... ...the names the measurements... EVERYTHING is precious and can NOT survive ANY tinkering! The Grimaud Ancien Tarot de Marseille needs to be treated with the greatest dignity and the utmost respect much more than the company itself could obviously afford. 2
If The CARDS are treated with respect and in the right way - they release The PICTURES that are hidden BETWEEN them. No-One on the outside has ever seen them. Period. The CARDS should be taken seriously in EVERY aspect just like Paul Marteau has left them... ...well not quite so... Some details appeared AFTER their first edition and he never explained... The DICES on the table of No I for example. Some of these pages are about their role as The FIRST SEAL and their function as A KEY. The capacity of another well known detail which is often referred to as The TULIP - on the 4 of coins can be revealed only very much later... ...and its not (me)re(al)ly a tulip it is a prime... ...from The PARADISE GARDEN! It serves as A MAP just like The WORLD only on a much bigger scale a universal scale. The PRIME leads the way... ...to ELEVEN DIMENSIONS...! All this was arranged for you - as a PRESENT. You found it - but you didn't RECOGNIZE it. You should have cherished it and felt blessed in its presence - but you didn't... In fact you really didn't like it at all! As a matter of fact you felt much more comfortable playing around with yourselves... 3
But now the tide is pressing... One last thing... ...about the CONSTRUCTION MANUAL! It works like a picture book for kids or - if you don't like that metaphor - think of those illustrated assembly instructions of a popular Swedish furniture store. They have stores all over The WORLD so they make clever illustrations which are supposed to guide the new owner of their stuff through the assembly process without any mental or bodily harm... ...and of course - WITHOUT any EXPLANATION. If you ever bought something from them you may have experienced some discrepancies between the furniture the illustrations and your abilities to follow them in the process to full achievement of your task. Even some tears from grown men are not unusual on such occasions but nevertheless your resistance is futile there is no arguing if you want to put that furniture to use sometime you have to do it their way NO QUESTIONS ASKED... ...and when you give in and obey you are in for some priceless enlightening moments... So if you don't like WHAT i say just forget it and look only at The PICTURES i would be glad if you understood it all by yourself! Anyway - i'm not able to tell you what all this is really about not because i'm forbidden or i don't know... ...simply because you don't have The PARAMETERS yet. So unfortunately - i can only tell you the next best thing to The TRUTH... ...like the story of bees and flowers is to the sex thingy. 4
TECHNICAL SUPPORT The following pages are mainly divided into 2 sections. A Pictures on a dark background. They are screen-shots from an instructional file and were edited for this purpose with photoshop cs4. They represent what is really happening... ON the table... B Pictures on a light background. They are based on screen-shots from the www and were edited with photoshop cs4. The overlays were mostly done with different opacity percentages to make it possible for you to see through... They represent what has to happen... in the MIND... ...to reach the next step... The DECKS can be found here...

This SECRET mimics The Bigger Picture" in a similar manner as A MAP stages the real landscape and this kind of mimicry" is a construction principle to most of these cards and the actual purpose for their appearance. Now ONE must search for details that may help further on... Every SECRET must be examined very closely and most meticulously to catch - finally a hint...
Le BATELEUR" of The FIRST SECRET holds in his left hand a similar/the same SCEPTER as The Dancing Goddess is depicted with - also in her left hand - but No I is The BEARER - he HOLDS the key.
So place No I where HER BATON" is - because The FIRST GOD is born from her EGG.
Now follow the flow of her VEIL and keep the flow of The NUMERALS in ACCORDANCE... Place No II straight under No I - and No III right under No II... And - as The VEIL bends...
...The SCEPTER of The EMPRESS does too - following the curve of The VEIL - No IIII - V -VI - VII and No VIII go - like The VEIL to the left... (This is why The EMPEROR is facing the west... )
10
The VEIL ends - and The SWORD of JUSTICE points straight upward AND she rests on a chair with TWO columns on The BACKREST. No I and No II represent the right column then there is emptiness likewise behind her chair... ...so No VIIII - X - XI and No XII head upwards to form the SECOND column - AND like her SWORD demands!
11
The REVERSED MAN seems to be constrained between TWO stakes and bound to a HORIZONTAL device so obviously the UPPER end of the pattern is reached and... ...No XIII (!) - XIIII - XV - XVI - XVII and No XVIII go to the right.
12
On No XVIII TWO towers are depicted - mirroring No XII - in this respect - and so... ...No XVIIII - XX - Le MAT and No XXI are placed right under No XVIII in a down - or backward motion (depending on the POV) - representing the right tower AND the SWIMMING crayfish. A CRAYFISH swims BACKWARDS - when in danger THAT is the reason why it is here AND in the water! Apart from that it has ONLY VI feet... 13
So far the concerned details didn't suffer any alterations. The FIRST PIETY is completed and it demanded 22 deeds. The overall picture might be perceived as The GREAT SERPENT OUROBOROS! ONE of MANY names. The GARLAND of The Dancing Goddess transforms to gaping JAWS... !
14
10 And now...
15

11 a
Yet - on another level - The JUDGMENT has arrived - with the sign of The CROSS and the roaring sound of The HEAVENLY TRUMPET! A wake-up-call is delivered to The POPESS and she will SACRIFICE herself for The GREATER GOOD! Both CARDS bear The GOLDEN CROSS - and great things will happen due to this!
17
18
13
...to revolve...
19
20
15
...eager to devour some flesh (as depicted on No XXI)... No I - The FIRST GOD and The POPESS who is VERY CLOSE to HIM are untouchable... ...yet No II is devoted - to go down - to the left corner like The SCRIPTURE in her lap and the GOLDEN diagonal ribbon - similar to A BOOKMARK suggest... The Bigger Picture" of her book - and its leaves - is displayed by No VII - VI - V - IIII and No III as the left pages of this book and No VIII - VIIII - X and No XI as the right ones. 21
(15 >>)
PLEASE DON'T go THERE right now! Have a little patience and DON'T spoil this experience for you those pages are THERE for a reason! PLEASE do your reading in accordance with the pages and stick with the system! Between HERE and THERE lies so much more than just a few pages a whole NEW WORLD lies ahead... ...and is waiting - for you - to adapt! 22

(No III The EMPRESS - goes to the left upper corner after a journey through the dark bowels of destiny attracted by the paragon of the reigning BEAST - on The WHEEL - No X - she knows her place!)
27
21
...and digesting...
28
22
...it's own.
29
23
Meanwhile - The TOWER gets razed - and the crown-shaped crenelation comes down! An ABANDONED STRONGHOLD...
30
24
...becomes the new home for a DEGRADED SOVEREIGN... No IIII enters up right - like The EMPRESS before him - The EMPEROR gets caught - and transformed by NECESSITAS!
31
25
32
26
33
27
...to get even with The POPE and convert him - to humble brotherliness in the arms of a friend - as The SUN - and the welcoming hand - advises his ways - a new frame of mind! No V goes down The THROAT - right down - to The RIGHT CORNER!
34
28
But will The GREAT SERPENT stop NOW in it's tracks? (Apart from this NOW that No V has arrived The CRAYFISH has got it's VIth FOOT actually the second I on the RIGHT side where some waves are MISSING... Before No V's arrival it had ONLY V! There were No XXI - Le MAT and No XX for it's LEFT... ...and on it's RIGHT the No XVIII itself... ...and No XVIIII! Now No V has maned up between them and ALL is complete!) 35
29
No - The GREAT SERPENT does NOT rest! A VENGEFUL GODDESS sent The SERPENT after providence... ...to keep the children-bearing Titan's Daughter from delivering the innocent and GODLY TWINS...
36
30
...and a shift of paradigm - A NEW AGE comes into SIGHT - UNTHINKABLE THINGS HAPPEN - surprisingly brisk!
37
31
The SERPENT gets SLAIN... (by the four-days-young GOD's never failing arrow for his mother's sake... ...and his own burden!) ...hacked...
38
(32)...and TAKEN...
( ...No XXI... Le MAT - he goes to the RIGHT and as you may have noticed by now: NEITHER placing Le MAT at the beginning NOR at the end of the sequence would work! NoXX... XVIIII...V... XVIII... XVII... XVI... IIII... XV... XIIII... XIII... XII... XI... III... X... VIIII... VIII... II... VII... and No VI!) ...to become transcendental nourishment for The NEW and SELF-CONSCIOUS LIFE... ...redeemed... 39
34
...and if he had kept his appointment... He would have been taken aside... ...and shown OTHERWISE!
41
34 a
When The GREAT SERPENT got slain... ...by the four-days-young GOD's never failing arrow... ...and... dismembered...
42
34 b
...the new apprentice learns NOW... ...that ONLY... No XXI... Le MAT... No XX... and XVIIII... ... No XVIII.... XVII... and No XVI... No XV... XIIII... XIII... XII... and No XI... ... No X... VIIII... and No VIII... and No VII... and VI... ...were TAKEN AWAY and that - so far - nothing did change their succession... 43
34 c
...so that The BONES - No III... IIII... and No V of The GREAT SERPENT REMAINED in The SACRED PLACE... ...close to The FIRST GOD and his priestess - to serve as CORNERSTONES...
44
35
...for The NEW WORLD which The FIRSTBORN - is prepared to build - right from scratch! And - back at the table the new apprentice is now... ...eager to marvel the EVIDENTIAL ascending! 45
35 a
Le BATELEUR he tells you so much but you prefer not to listen. Not even his name was to your liking... Hopefully this may change after you get to know Le MAT a little bit better... The GOLDEN COIN in the center is The Sun - the center of The Solar System (a known realty in the 18th century) - and AUrum No 79 - they share the same symbol a. Le BATELEUR is DEUS ex MACHINA! 46
35 b
Here the ingenuity of the Matre Cartier" takes effect... The 2 DICES on the table of Le BATELEUR" are presenting V pips and I pip - making VI... This points to the 2 SECRETS - No I and No V who are involved to advise the location of the next SECRETNo VI... Some old decks used also dices others cards with numbers - V or the 6 of coins - NONE has the whole set! THIS is PERFECT! 47
35 c
With this odd formation of 3 coins HE gives a first hint HOW the next card No VI will be placed... They are GOLD they belong to HIM. They are THREE No V No VI (in full view!) and No I. They will form a cluster of a similar pattern! Just turn them around... ...some GOLDEN to the left! 48
36
Here ARE the pips of Le BATELEUR's dices... The formation of the 5 pips on the upper dice is performed by No I II -III -IIII and No V. The ONE sole pip on the 2nd dice is performed by No VI. And if you add now 1 pip and 5 pips you will get again VI (pips). But where EXACTLY should The No VI go? 49
36 a-1
Since medieval times The GOLDEN RATIO has been valued as GOD's SCRIPTURE for creation at least throughout Europe... In the 18th century the manufacturing of valuable books due to The GOLDEN RATIO already had a scholarly tradition. The CARDS of The TdM were considered to be equals to them at least...
50
36 a-2
Since the dawn of civilization advice has been given to those who were chosen sometimes sovereigns sometimes only to lessen the damage - at least... In the midst of the 18th century The PEOPLE were preparing again to become and still are... Now They surely should need - and - if They can find it inherit this heir-ship maybe for good... This is another EDITION. 51
36 b-1
For this abomination The CARDS had to endure nameless abuse here the man's legs were cut off and then sewn back on only a little bit shorter even the background got cloned and some things just disappeared only to make room for a SECOND (ridiculous and misleading) NAME... ...this resulted in loosing the defining proportions along with some precious details which were considered to be DISPENSABLE... ...WASTE!
52
36 b-2
The TRUE BEAUTY of The CREATION can only unfold when it did find shelter within The TRUE FRENCH CARDS. Only HERE the defining sections of The CARD and The GOLDEN RECTANGLE share the same arc thus The GOLDEN RATIO could escape the blind(ed) eye and make it possible to change the ratio of The CARDS and still be good as gold. Even the depicted entities are HERE connected to The GOLDEN RATIO in obvious ways all due to the - only HERE - perfect proportions. 53
36 b-3
For whenever in any three..., there is a mean, which is to the last... what the first... is to it; and again, when the mean is to the first... as the last... is to the mean - then the mean becoming first and last, and the first and last both becoming means, they will all of them of necessity come to be the same, and having become the same with one another will be all one." L'AMOVREVX embodies The GOLDEN RATIO! A MOTHER her DAUGHTER and it's LOVE... ...The hopefully - GOOD SON! 54
36 c-1
Le BATELEUR also succeeds due to The SACRED SCRIPTURE as you can see now. His WILL and His WAND are encircled by the thoughtful ARC that gave birth to the heavenly portion of The GOLDEN RATIO... ...and his right hand uses this holy bow in reverse... ...armed with The FIRST MATTER...
55
36 c-2
...to feed the needy -at his OWN table and inspire The WILL to ACHIEVE! Such a thing as this unveiled picture perfectly matching in several ways and giving meaning to otherwise seemingly odd details like the little tree in the far background now a mark for the drawing apprentice shouldn't upset you too much... ...since french masons did built Our Lady's Cathedral... ...some centuries afore! 56
36 c-3
The heavenly portion of The GOLDEN RECTANGLE - that was once born from earthly demand gets CUT DOWN to CARDLY DIMENSIONS and - after that transferred to EARTH...
57
36 c-4
HERE incarnation is growing into a structure... ...so... On arrival down here - The ONE - once heavenly portion wonderfully triplicates to SHELTER The WHOLE CREATION... ...without ANY exception... 58
36 d-1
...and a STAND-ALONE GOLD(EN) STANDARD - that DESCENDED once - from ABOVE BECOMES...
59
36 d-2
60
36 d-3
...and a TOUCHSTONE! GUARDING and sometimes GRANTING PERMISSION (like a lithic door frame... )...
61

36 f-1
Heaven takes care of his own in every respect... A liaison that arose from transcendent scripture - and worldly demand - will earn HERE the highest possible blessing... ...and with jubilance - on a day of rejoicing The HIEROS GAMOS is observed and renowned! 64
36 f-2
With such superior concelebration a(n) (a)d(e)vice comes in handy that helps to reach out for the HIGHER virtues in sight - to keep The RIGHT DISTANCE and pro(s)per perspective or all might otherwise drown - in a flush of excitement - or simply go under The EVENT HORIZON. The TRUE MASON's LADDER was built for that - with 7 steps... 65
36 f-3
But in REALITY... ...A TRUE JACOB's LADDER is just as huge as The DEITIES would need it - and so far it was not told WHERE They might roam The WORLD!
66
36 f-4
Invisible footsteps - for the disabled eye... ...and the successful transmutation of that ODD FORMATION OF 3 COINS. After ALL... Truth LIES in The EYE of The BEHOLDER.
67
37
The first step into The NEW WORLD is made... The WEDDING is over...
68
38
69
38 a
70
38 b
It shouldn't surprise that - after a wedding some honeymooning has been - already - ancient excise. The CHARIOT is richly adorned with the just married's INITIALS for SULPHUR and MERCURIUS - and SAL - as the mother - bids ADIEU - with tears in her eyes... And finally - the odd horses' hind legs make sense - again as a mark - for a drawing apprentice. 71
38 c
With The PRINCIPLE's help The CHARIOTEER finds his (parking-) space clearly so that Sponsus et Sponsa can get in!
72
39
73
74
40 a
Naturally - there is The PRINCIPLE - that will help HER to find the right place...
75
4o b
...but by far that's NOT all! The TWOfolded ONEness in-car-nates from PURE AFFECTION... ...between Sponsus et Sponsa and - so it seems... ...Sulphur might lead the way! Here you can see that EVERY small patch even of sand is needed - there is NO room for translation or - otherwise - The SECRET gets lost! 76
40 c
And if you care to look closely... ...her SCALES are in favor at least a LITTLE bit of The MARE! Some lack The HEART to go the whole distance for each-others sake! Being JUST is to DO the RIGHT thing and NOT to treat EVERYONE as EQUAL! 77
41
78
42
79
42 a
...and not ONLY... ...for a PLACE he can turn to - and - OF COURSE with The PRINCIPLE's help!
80
81
< 42 b
WOW! This is HUGE but WHAT IS IT? THIS should be explained step by step but PLEASE do me the favor and feast your eyes on it... ...just for a moment... ...or TWO... So that LATER when you DO understand you can say to yourselves... I saw WISDOM and I APPRECIATED it the moment I SAW IT at the FIRST glance!
> 42 b-1
As you may remember... the poor L'AMOVREVX - so poor that he has not even got SHOES to wear on his feet - once got invited to The FIRST GOD's very own table. Now this could be considered VERY unusual - but you know what they say about LOVE! THERE the poor young man was introduced to The FIRST MATTER... ...WHICH he consumed...
82
83
84
< 42 b-2
...and COAGULATIO lead... ...to The KNOWLEDGE of The WORLD's CONSTITUTION... The PRINCIPLE of EVERYTHING.
> 42 b-3
This KNOWLEDGE of The PRINCIPLE gave L'AMOVREVX the CAPABILITY to GROW into his NEW FAMILY - just in the right way... - and with The PRINCIPLE's help - so that he could become The GOOD SON that EVERYONE hoped for. He became familiar with The TRADITION... and he learned about The BELOVED SPOUSE - who did PASS ON so that his NEW MOTHER was beheld as a WIDOW...
85
86
87
< 42 b-4
When the time came it was revealed to the GROWN young man - the beloved SPOUSE that HE NOW - was entitled to inherit The FATHER's BELONGINGS... ...but he would have to find A WAY to prove HIS ABILITY yet!
> 42 b-5
HE FOUND - and not ONLY a path! The PRINCIPLE for his overcoming HEARTSHIP and LOVE lead The WAY to the save HAVEN! THERE he FOUND more than he could ever have hoped for! L'AMOVREVX gets fully invested with RANK and AUTHORITY... ...and HE NOW even has SHOES to wear on his feet... ... at least a left ONE!
88
89
90
< 42 b-6
So that's The WAY L'AMOVREVX stepped out - and -into The LIGHT...! THAT is WHY he BECAME... ...and was VISIBLE at last... - to The HIGHEST deLIGHT. And NOW it might be that there IS... ...HELP for The SON of A WIDOW! If you should ever try THIS for yourself - one day you may look out for The SERPENT that hides in the shadow...
> 42 b-7
The formation of the microcosm is in accordance with the formation of the macrocosm. The scholars made this their path. This is why THRICE-GREAT HERMES was exalted with wisdom.
91
92
42 c
Now that L`HERMITE has found what he searched for after some hundred years... ...of DISCRETE secrecy...
93
42 c-1
...The SECRETS tend to become shy again. So much light hurts them in a way you may not understand! But after displaying some repertory...
94
42 c-2
- that was originally cut into WOOD - what i still - think to be pretty AMAZING only to convince some skeptics of their honorable agenda... ...They now - really need some rest in the shadow!
95
42 c-3
96
42 c-4
...so that no-one can lay not even his eye upon Them! And then again such SHROUDING might lead to some new - and - somewhat REVEILING perspective!
97
43
Fortunately on the table nothing has changed... ...except that No VIIII has safely arrived...

On the table you can see that No I -VIIII XI VIII VI-X and No VII... ...stage NOW a nearly perfect mimicry of The Dancing Goddess's VEIL.
110
48
111
48 a
...even if his eyes were bound too (?) he would be able to find his place...
112

...ONLY with The PRINCIPLE's help -and - of course - some HORSE-SENSE - AND... ...using The TRUE MASON's LADDER...
113
48 c
114
48 d
...and the lithic nature takes over... to complete some more fun-da-mental.
115
49
A certain SYMMETRY becomes visible... No XII serves as an axis for No X and No VII... ...and perhaps there is something about that rope - that SEEMS to bind him and The RED RIBBON that binds The GARLAND.
116
50
...XIII... ! SECRET No XIII has NO NAME and not even SPACE for it - unlike every other SECRET! A NAME meant something in those times. Family. History. Ancestry. Belonging. SECRET No XIII has NOTHING like that. SECRET No XIII can NOT be described by ANY means ever. Period. 117
50 a
No XIII has nothing to STAND upon in this scheme... But No XIII doesn't need that... No XIII will come anyway and go anywhere... GOD-sent. And another thing... Knowing someone's NAME meant to have reign over him - to control him. No-ONE can PREVENT No XIII! 118
50 b
Only No XIII knows WHERE to go with heavenly steps. Eye to eye with The ONE who can CALL.
119
50 c
And - as you see - No XIII found the place! Grounded on HEAVENLY SCRIPTURE - and NOTHING else!
120
51
121
52
With the appearance of No XIII... ...the more numinous powers of The WORLD are introduced - by the same PRINCIPLE No XIIII!
122

Even though THIS CONCEPT might be needed bitterly! In the right place! At the right time!

Now The Bigger Picture of La MAISON DIEV is completed as depicted on The SECRET No XVI! The broken TOWER! The CROWN-shaped CRENELATION of FOUR!

The RESURRECTION of GOD's OWN HOUSE! Because of THIS ABILITY one KOSHER NAME sounds like The PILLAR!
152

ALMOST similar - his FRENCH NAME is Le MAT! See WHAT he can DO HE binds ALL THINGS together and straightens them out - to get them CONNECTED...

155
67
SIDE by SIDE with The NAMELESS - The NUMBERLESS appears! This SECRET bears NO NUMERAL because HE does NOT fit into any LOGICAL order The WORLD has to offer! Like The NAMELESS SECRET - Le MAT" is not PREDICTABLE AND not bound by any COMMON rule! 156
68
157

...just in time...

... to top out The GREAT WORK - The GREAT ARCHITECT's PLAN ...

From HER EGG ONCE was born... (HERE for the first time advice is given concerning The RATIO of The WHOLE ACHIEVED PATTERN - and it works of course only with The FRENCH CARDS. For The BI-LINGUAL VERSION The GODDESS was cut out and inserted into a SMALLER garland to make room for some misguiding translation.) 162
68 e-2
(The TRI-COLORED GARLAND - on one part helps to divide The 18 SECRETS into 3 groups each containing 6 SECRETS and by the way - The MYSTERY of the misspelled IIII is solved - There are IIII SECRETS who don't attend The MYSTERIES of The DANCING GODDESS - at least for a VERY long time. But don't be fooled by The SECRETS' appearance - yet THEY are NOT ready to DANCE and so far THIS is only a SCHEME.) 163
68 e-3
(HERE it becomes obvious that The WORLD serves as A MAP for The BIGGER PICTURE - how marvelous the lines are complimented... Behold JUSTICE is guarding The INNER SANCTUM - but L'HERMITE found a way to explore it - nevertheless! Le MAT is setting SAIL now to higher ground! Just feast your eyes on PERFECTION!) 164
68 e-4
(Isn't SHE lo-o-vely? Isn't SHE won-der-fu-hu-l?... No XIIII so charmingly clad in HER veil! No XVI illustrates yet another side of HER nature! ...and No XVII devotes her whole being to The GODDESS... ...and A CROWN of sparkling STARS!)
165
69
...ALL... ... that there is! NOW The WORLD is COMPLETED... ...and TRUE!
166
69 a
As mentioned before you see it NOW! Paul Marteau DID REALLY marvelous work on The GARLAND of The Dancing Goddess! But WHERE would have been The FUN in that?
167
69 b
If you knew... ...what the Pythagorean did allegedly - say CONCERNING the letter CHI... ...AND something ABOUT that letter you would know... Why the garland is bound THIS way and... The SUMMUM bonum! 168

The scaled down SCHEME... ...gets SIMPLIFIED and covered... ...with a color similar...
172

...to that of The CROWN. If BOTH are in the RIGHT way - put together... ...they both do compliment each other... ...and make... The CROWNED and RESURRECTED TOWER ...visible again... ...to announce a (cardly) fulfilled task to the struggling APPRENTICE! 173

The ANIMA MUNDI has regained all her glory - as you can see... - and The REVERSED MAN... takes care of her GARLAND down below her DANCING feet!
174

70 a-2
And now imagine that you have nothing better to do than NAILING The CARDS to a WALL. You might be HORRIFIED by SUCH an idea - hurting these PRECIOUS and LOVED ONES with your own hands... ...but there was a TIME when THIS was The ONLY WAY to get The GAME going! So let's just IMAGINE THIS won't hurt much. 176
70 b-1
With The CARDS - nailed to The WALL - we are enabled to draw LINES from NAIL to NAIL and FURTHER...
177
70 b-2
...to achieve a PATTERN that can stand for itself and ALONE.
178
70 b-3
This PATTERN can be SPREAD. Over The WHOLE WALL if you like... (Think of a TAPESTRY - every diamond would have The SAME SIZE and ANGLES - and that would be... ...one of The WONDERS of GEOMETRY!) ...you can put it ANYWHERE! 179
180
< 70 c-1
If you do so... ...you will find a NEARLY SIMILAR PATTERN on NEARLY EVERY unnamed and unnumbered SECRET of a VERY OLD DECK. The oldest NEARLY complete one! That deck was made for Filippo Maria Visconti - Duke of Milan - a powerful sovereign of his time... ...throughout Europe at least...
> 70 c-2
Naturally The PATTERN must be SCALED DOWN. (Our PATTERN was made of 22 CARDS and The SPACE between them.) When the correct SIZE is reached it becomes OBVIOUS that The ANGLES of The DIAMONDS are a little different... each and every angle of Filippo's DIAMONDS owns 90 ! A SIMPLIFIED method to achieve such a pattern if you want to construct it... ...from scratch.
181
182
183
< 70 c-3
The PATTERN on The VISCONTI CARD does only cover the background of the subject. Therefor... our PATTERN can be CUT DOWN to The VISCONTI's RATIO without loosing anything important...
> 70 c-4
...and after that WARPED! Only a tiny little bit as you see... ...to get BOTH PATTERNS aligned.
184
185
186
< 70 d-1
One last thing to align The PATTERNS needs to be done. OUR PATTERN must be CUT down to meet the dimensions of The CARPET! Cross-hairs and targeting points coincide! Let's talk about NAILS and the young man who was REVERSED!
> 70 d-2
If you care to look closely... This in many ways -EXCEPTIONAL CARD was VICTIMIZED more than once! But only ONE NAIL was driven KNOWINGLY through The DELINQUENT's innocent background and this was of course the one ABOVE. The HOLE is corroded and OLD just like The HOLES in ALL other CARDS of THIS SPECIAL DECK as you will see! The NAIL NOW BELOW was driven by a clueless and well meaning mind. Some of The WORST things in The WORLD were born from a conscience like THAT!
187
188
70 e-1
Here are some EXAMPLES of The HOLES above the heads of The SECRETS the one top left is the one of our friend... Some are VERY WELL USED so good that REPLACEMENT was needed if The GAME should be continued because The CARDS had to MOVE across the wall in VERY SPECIAL ways... The VISCONTI CARDS are BIG if you consult pic. 42 b-3 you see their EXACT ratio (blue) in comparison to The TdM (red on THIS behalf... )! 189
70 e-2
The PIP CARDS as some like to call them with another misleading name instead have VERY CLEAN HOLES. Once THEY were STUCK THEY STAYED IN PLACE!
190
70 e-3
The same goes for The COURT (CARDS). What else should The COURT do? The members of The COURT are only there to WATCH and maybe guard The SECRETIVE MOVES against unwanted PUBLICITY... ...and that's what they DID! And THEY did it quite well for more than 500 years don't you think? 191
192
< 70 f-1
Now how did this ALL happen? The HOLES The REVERSEMENT... ...and all that... Have a LOOK at The VISCONTI CARDS. They are MUCH too BIG and CLUMSY to serve as PLAYING CARDS in the usual sense. They were NEVER meant to be SHUFFLED and used on a TABLE. The COLORS would have been ERODED and abrasion would have taken this WONDER very quick! BUT... ...they came DISGUISED as PLAYING CARDS to Filippo's humble home and he had to figure out WHAT ELSE could be done with them... Such DISGUISE in such catholic times - and live after The GREAT CHISM and with The INQUISITION on the rise is VERY appropriate in EVERY possible way... The REVERSED MAN is clearly painted to be looked at for the FIRST time - THIS WAY. A YOUNG NOBLE MAN - HANGING from the gallows pole by ONE FOOT... ...and THIS affected Filippo because he certainly recognized it as a defaming picture - a PITTURA INFAMANTE used to expose - f.i. - traitors or thieves who were considered to be - legally UNTOUCHABLE...
193
<< 70 f-1
...so Filippo considered this picture to be a VERY bad OMEN... (A narrow minded person might have prejudiced his moralities as somewhat disturbing... ) ...that he wanted to get rid of one way or another! (Some later decks will show The REVERSED MAN grasping big sacks - of MONEY - to mark him as A THIEF! The COMMON CITIZEN or peasant instead would have lost A HAND if he was caught with his hand in the cookie-jar - and if he did not stop in his ways and got caught SEVERAL times a HAND AND a FOOT would get lost! AMPUTATION as a PUNISHMENT was such a WELLKNOWN and common SIGHT that SOLDIERS - for example who had lost a LIMB or two for MEDICAL REASONS - and in the line of DUTY often carried an OFFICIAL DOCUMENT that certified their INNOCENCE in the eyes of The LAW... ) Filippo's FIRST THOUGHT was to CUT OFF The REVERSED MAN to ERASE this SHAMEFUL picture from his (superstitious) MIND! This would have been The RIGHT DECISION - speaking in the sense of The GAME... ...but The WRONG MOTIVE and if you LOOK really close it seems not really necessary to cut the young man LOOSE because he is NOT really TIED to the pole! 194
<<< 70 f-1
Here are some MORE ODDITIES of this SECRET! NOBODY could have ENDURED with The LOOSE LEG so graciously BENT at The KNEE - like the depicted young man on The CARD so there should be MORE to THIS! The BLUE BULGE above the delinquent's HEAD. It is clearly meant to be ABOVE and NOT UNDER because WATER does NOT pile up - and it is painted like CLOUDS... AND - The GALLOWS... On the one hand if turned upside down they can be taken as 2 trees with The GREEN GROUND as their LEAVES! On the other hand the gallows are painted like a DOORFRAME and The REVERSED MAN is DANCING... ...across The THRESHOLD TRESPASSING! OBVIOUSLY this is NOT an ordinary PITTURA INFAMANTE... ...but The YOUNG NOBLE MAN must be A THIEF and a - maybe - otherwise dubious character - because HE gets treated like THAT! If cutting The ROPE wouldn't do the trick to CUT The REVERSED MAN OFF - WHAT WOULD?
195
196
< 70 f-2
You did wonder about The BLOOD on The WHITE SHIRT of The REVERSED MAN before DIDN'T you? This is - of course - a HINT to REALLY SEVERE PUNISHMENT... The BLOOD is running down his (bandaged?) FOREARMS and his HANDS are NOT VISIBLE maybe he GOT what he DESERVED and his HANDS were CUT OFF? The BLOOD is running down his THIGHS - maybe HIS HAMSTRINGS were CUT TOO? He is wearing GREEN tights and Filippo LOVED frog's legs AND had a GREAT sense of humor so why not cut his LEGS OFF right ABOVE those frivolously bent KNEE that should bring him DOWN and straighten things out! Medieval AMPUTATION was to be done quick with one stroke so to say and AWAKE - similar to the one on the big FROGS. The AMPUTATION IN The JOINT is a modern invention and done for convenience. THIS is a PUNISHMENT! The TOTAL IMMOBILIZATION of a sparkling young ARISTOCRAT who seemingly violated (repeatedly) The BOUNDARIES and The RULES - of a definite PRECINCT for his vested interest and against The WILL of a POWERFUL GUARDIAN! 197
198
< 70 f-3
Filippo was VERY deep into ALCHEMY and other - even more - sinister stuff like MANY in his times and life. So it didn't take him too long after cutting The YOUNG OFFENDER off - and so fabricating a HERMA - to recognize the (in)famous THIEF as being MERCURY - The GOD of/for merchants AND thieves - The MESSENGER of The GODS - PSYCHOPOMPOS The GUIDE of SOULS and MORE - quite a character! Because of all that MERCURY should have a MESSAGE and it should be VERY IMPORTANT! In this UPRIGHT position the picture tells that MERCURY is CUT OFF at The GATE of a (sacred/forbidden) PRECINCT! About 2 centuries later Nicolas Flamel will write about THIS cutting edge EVENT. He will say that he SAW in The BOOK of ABRAHAM The JEW with his own EYES that MERCURY got both - HANDS and FEET - CUT OFF! And - indeed - Nicolas DID owe ALL his SUCCESS to THIS INSIGHT. The FOOTLESS YOUNG MAN at The GATES of The ROSE GARDEN in European ALCHEMY - did spring pardon the pun from THIS too! 199
200
< 70 f-4
Up to this point ALL was about The MESSENGER what about The MESSAGE? MERCURY even when CUT OFF should have SOMETHING to tell... ...or MAY be BECAUSE he got CUT OFF? THAT should be FUN! CUTTING The LEGS leads to... ...CUTTING The CARPET - with The SAME STROKE! The PATTERN gets DEFINED! The CARPET becomes - A RUG!
( Just snug enough to comfort OUR NAILS - but unfortunately THIS is NOT the right TIME to speak about THEM... ...but if you wish... YOU may try if YOU can NAIL it!)
201
202
< 70 f-5
The VISIBLE RUG... ...makes those TWO itsy-bitsy AIMING POINTS for The CUTTING EDGE become SO obvious! A TINY BREAK in the dotted pattern of The CARPET... ...but CLEAR and SHINING to The SEARCHING EYE!
203
204
< 70 f-6
The VISCONTI CARDS were HANDDRAWN and they are MINATURE PAINTINGS to give the most LIVELY IMPRESSION MONEY could buy in those times. But The ARTISTS did NOT REALLY know WHAT they were doing besides fulfilling a contract with VERY specific DEMANDS... THEREFOR... Some correction of The CARPET PATTERN is needed to make it MORE GEOMETRICAL - and ABLE to fulfill it's TASK - and AGAIN - The AIMING POINTS help to find The RIGHT POSITION for the straightened out RUG!
> 70 f-7
Here ARE... The MISSING PARTS of The PATTERN which would have been included - if this WONDER had occurred with SOME more... GEOMETRICAL PRECISION - and MUCH less DISCRETION!
205
206
207

At LAST a HOME - for The NAILS to HARBOUR The CARDS during their JOURNEY when THEY need to REST for a WHILE... Filippo surely should have wanted them to be GOLDEN the humble character that he was but i don't know if i recall that correctly... ...so many things have happened and it has been a very long time... 217
218
< 70 h-3
If you should feel now the urge to puncture some precious palisander or whatever it is that you put on your WALLS to make them look nicer... ...one last advice! PLEASE remember to CLIP The HEADS OFF your NAILS before you use them to pin your cards down unless you'd prefer to get STUCK early! By the way... ...you will need around 100 of them to make room for The CARDS in OLD FASHIONED WAYS one more or one less... ...i'm sure you will figure that out! But before you go now to destroy your environment and possessions with sharp and piercing things - and unforgivable sins - you may consider to stick with the opportunities The FRENCH CARDS have to offer... They were made to MOVE and you can MOVE with them so that you and eventually some others - may be MOVED... ...in MYSTERIOUS ways! The CARDS were made to tell The FUTURE... ...and EVERYTHING! 219
71
THIS should be The RIGHT TIME to WAKE UP or at least for the Robert Langdon in YOU because THIS is for REAL! This is The Parfaits most precious treasure... ...and their solemn oath. This is The Secret Observance of The Poor Knights... ...and their seal... ...and their sin.... But to UNDERSTAND that you have to court The CARDS in The RIGHT WAY... 220
EPILOG What happens NEXT depends on what i see YOU DOING with THIS! If you want to UNDERSTAND more about The TdM and it's ICONOGRAPHY you must come to know Filippo`s CARDS better. You can do THAT here...

If you should now try to EXCHANGE The TdM CARDS with Filippo`s in the found pattern of The XXII SECRETS you'll see that The SYMMETRY is somewhat DISTURBED in some places. This is what brought A. E. Waite to his sermon about his EXCHANGE of No VIII and No XI but sadly enough he didn't get THAT right too...
221
...And after ALL... ...IF you succeed... You will find that TRUE TAROT is NOT even about The CARDS T is about The PLACES they inherit... ...for a while... The CARDS are DOORS... ...to The ROOMS of The (very modern) LIBRARY of The THRICE-GREAT HERMES...

The GOLDEN CROSS is The KEY to The HEART of The POPESS... ...and The SOUND of The HEAVENLY TRUMPET is a SIGNAL to her - HER TIME is NEAR!
224

ALL this happens of course on The PRINCIPLE's COURT! The PRINCIPLE has been HERE ever since... - even BEFORE The GREAT SERPENT CAME into BEING!
225

that JUSTICE makes room The RIGHT PLACE comes into SIGHT...

HERE is HOW she does it! Her CROSS is AWAKE! Her POWER is RISING...

HERE SHE RESIDES - between The TWO PILLARS - and HIDDEN - from UNINITIATED EYES BEHIND her own VEIL.
233
15 b-3
HER KNOWLEDGE of The SCRIPTURE - is HELPFUL in every WAY - to cross The BORDER of SPACE - just in TIME...

...to step OUT of The LIMBUS - RIGHT AHEAD and into The WORLD of The LIVING from BEYOND her VEIL!

BENEDICTION Even though this REVELATION does SEEM PRETTY IMPRESSIVE to ME it did when i saw it for the first time THIS is NOT The REAL DEAL! It is more like... a WOMEN's LIB VERSION of ENLIGHTENMENT - or if you want... ENLIGHTENMENT-LIGHT... Nevertheless some... PRETTY SOPHISTICATED GNOSTIC BELIEFS were CONCEIVED of THIS!
HERE is ANOTHER WAY (of looking at it)... ...an APPROVED and GOLDEN ONE!
245
15 +1
The first step on THIS PATH should be recognizing The TRUE RATIO of The HIGHER SELF! Connected to The WORLD it comes as A SQUARE... ...in DISGUISE 5 to 5! (And 5 is - probably the most GOLDEN figure of ALL - but for NOW just keep THAT in mind.) 246
15 +2
The HIGHER SELF is another SECOND - version of The POPESS... ...LIVING in another DIMENSION where intimacy is CONSTITUTIONAL and SPACE... ...an ILLUSION - but born from the same RATIO - bearing The GOLDEN CROSS - AND The KNOWLEDGE of The HEAVENLY SCRIPTURE! 247
15 +3
The formation of the microcosm is in accordance with the formation of the macrocosm.
248
15 +4
And...
249
15 +5
BUT ...arriving THERE is NOT really BEING AT HOME - so The POPESS needs to BELIEVE in her COME-BACK to The REAL WORLD - The PRINCIPAL's COURT!
250
15 +6
The FIRST GOD is LISTENING to HER PRAYER The VOICE of HER CRUCIFIED HEART! HIS GODLY NATURE...
251
15 +7
252
15 +8
And NOW - BEHOLD! The heavenly GEOMETER has got what it takes to straighten ALL out. First - The PENTAGON! THOSE ANGLES are ALIGNED with The GOLDEN CROSS of The POPESS - ever since!
253
15 +9
With The PENTAGON comes The PENTAGRAM - quite NATURALLY - to HIS TABLE - where ALL The GREAT WORK is done in PERFECTION!
254
15 +10
ONE...
255
15 +11
or...
256
15 +12
257
15 +13
and the RIGHT PLACE for The SACRED STAR - is FOUND - as ADVISED!
258
15 +14
Even The CENTRE was MARKED - what a SURPRISE! Now The PENTACLE(S) should be on The RISE!
259
15 +15
And with ONE twist of his WANDS... ...The GREAT ARCHITECT makes it ALL happen! In NO-TIME The POPESS strolls over... ...The RAINBOW BRIDGE - REASSURED in HER FAITH...
260
15 +16
that NEVER was LOST! INTEGRITY is what counts - in ALL The DIMENSIONS... ...thus The GREAT SERPENT can return to The TRACKS!
261
15 +17
And so far as i remember it - Pythagoras and Aiwass were not D'ACCORD on SO many things - BUT THIS...
