Guide to The Pythagorean Tarot

by John Opsopaus, rho (Illustrator)

Just as ancient Greek civilization forms the bedrock of Western thought and culture, the brilliance of Pythagoras underpins much of Western esoteric tradition. Now, his vision of universal order based on numbers joins with another venerable system of magic and divination―the tarot.

The Pythagorean Tarot represents a level of research and scholarship rarely seen in the study of tarot, alchemy, or numerology. This unique system applies authentic Pythagorean numerology and aspects of Jungian psychology, alchemy, and mythology to the living symbolism of the tarot.

The result is an authentic tarot that the ancient Pythagoreans themselves might have designed, based on a Graeco-Roman metaphysical model and incorporating the immediate, timeless power and relevance of archetypal images. The Pythagorean Tarot kit includes 78 full-color cards and a 480-page companion book.
