Tarot Cards and Templar Tricks | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1307299 Belgium 03/21/2011 01:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The article is full of inaccuracies and base it's interpretation on the Rider Waite deck which is influenced by western esotericism and masonic symbols. The Tarot is not masonic. The Tarot is not related to Templars. Masons are not related to Templars. This article is based on texts written by masons who wish to give their organization credibility and try to tie all esoterica to mason and Templars. There's so many BS in the article I don't know where to begin. The Church removed the major arcana? The major arcana still in the French and Spanish playing games! Jachin and Boaz on the Female Pope card? That's a modern addition by.... masons! Lol. The original looks like this: [link to haikustarot.h.a.pic.centerblog.net] The article should be called "how masons tried to stole the tarot and take credit of it" BS. |

The Marseille is already found during the XVth century, and include NO masonic nor templar symbols. If templars wanted to hide their wisdom in a tarot deck, do you think they would choose a deck created in the XXth century, lol? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1185372[link to www.tarothistory.com] As you can see no pillars. Maybe other clues can be found? You can find many clues of wisdom, that's true. But the origin of the tarot has nothing to do with masons nor templars. That's wishful thinking BS from masons who think they are the only holders of the eternal knowledge, and that only them can truly understand the secret teachings of antique mysteries because they belong to a secret tradition that goes back to Hiram Abif. That's how they attract the gullible. I call it ego. The origin of the tarot are images depicting small stories containing wisdom and moral teachings to everyone and not just a selected few. It was like an illustrated book, but with many wisdom summarized. |
