Enter the sacred temple of Babylon and discover secret knowledge known to the Seers of Marduk. The first guidebook to concisely align tarot symbolism with a comprehensive review of Anunnaki archetypes as they appear in ancient Babylonian Mardukite tradition. Arcane mysteries are revealed in this revolutionary new tool of personal exploration! Ancient archetypes of civilization actually originate in Mesopotamia--so, rather than take arbitrary themes and impose tarot symbolism, Joshua Free's extensive background in esoteric knowledge and Anunnaki traditions allows him to bridge these two aspects in an incredible new way, both historically authentic and mystically valid as a practical tool of modern "Mardukite neo-Babylonian spirituality." This is not the first time that Mesopotamia makes an appearance in tarot--however, it is the first time that the post-Sumerian or "Mardukite" Babylonian paradigm/worldview is represented properly. Where some have presented what they call Babylonian, in reality we are given combinations of the Babylonian and pre-Mardukite or Enlilite systems interchangeably and often placing emphasis on deities and myths that aren't central to Mardukite Babylonian religion. Joshua Free spent 10 years as Director of the "Mardukite Research Organization" collecting notes for "The Anunnaki Tarot: Consulting the Babylonian Oracle of Cosmic Wisdom" guidebook, hoping to one day be partnered with a graphic artist that appreciated this realization of "The Anunnaki Tarot" and could enhance ancient specimens of Mesopotamian art to fit the author's specifications. Enter: Kyra Kaos, a Mardukite graphic artist contributing all of the images that grace this volume alongside the author's descriptions, based on the limited edition physical card set (available separately) from the "Mardukite Truth Seeker Press." At the author's request, an additional set of reproduced card images appears in a specially formatted graphic appendix allowing readers to cut out and store a paper version of "The Anunnaki Tarot" in the back of the book.

Bibliography.

According to Chic & Sandra Tabatha Cicero, the tarot is much more than a collection of symbolic images--it's a vibrant ecosystem of interconnected energies and entities. In this groundbreaking approach to tarot, they introduce how these powerful cards can be magically transformed into talismans and amulets. Part one of this book explores the nature of talismans and amulets, how magic works, the role of the divine in magic, and magical ethics. The specific energies and talismanic/amuletic uses of each card are described, along with its magical correspondences--spanning elemental, astrological, and Qabalistic qualities. Part two is devoted to "tarot angels" and invoking these divine energies, including how to use the Golden Dawn method, known as telesmatic magic. Ritual card spreads, consecration rites, and step-by-step examples demonstrate how to use magical talismans to get a promotion, gain psychic talent, promote healing, mend a broken friendship, enhance magic skills, and more.

This companion guide to the Lilith Bible Tarot Deck illuminates the polytheistic pagan roots of Judeo-Christian religious scripture and ideas. Through Lilith's eyes we take a fresh look at the Bible. Lilith's lens is at once enlightening and liberating, forceful and kind. The Lilith Bible Tarot Deck employs the Rider-Waite-Smith protocol for tarot and can be used by anyone familiar with this system. However the deck is in particular intended as an antidote for those recovering from extreme fundamentalist monotheistic forms of Western religion. It helps the reader explore a new form of spiritual connection (i.e., tarot reading) working within a conceptual framework with which they are familiar. As well as drawing on Judeo-Christian content the deck reimagines that content as part of a process of healing. Most of the content of the Lilith Bible Tarot Deck comes from what Jews refer to as the Hebrew Bible and Christians call the Old Testament. Smaller amounts come from the New Testament, the Apocrypha and the Gnostic scriptures. Another small amount is sourced from Babylonian and Egyptian writings. A key focus of the Lilith Bible Tarot Deck is the stories of the women in the Bible particularly through the lens of the central female character Lilith. Lilith represents the Defiant Goddess in all of us and her re-emergence in Western thought is a way of understanding and healing the injuries inflicted by organised religions such as the Jewish and Christian patriarchies and priesthoods.

Originally published in 1896, this text contains the cunieform text of 60 clay tablets written between 669-625 BC. These tablets were inscribed with prayers and religious compositions of a devotional and magical character and there is little doubt that they were compiled from Babylonian sources.

Reveals the historical roots of the symbology of the Tarot in the Mithraic tradition of the Persian Magi and the Hermetic tradition • Explores the Magian teachings on the Stoeicheia and how this magical alphabet was the template for the Tarot • Explains how the sequencing of the Major Arcana is related to the images used in Mithraic initiation • Looks at the original meanings of the Major Arcana using Mithraic symbolism, as well as the deep-level connections of the Tarot with Egypt, the Romani people, the Semitic tradition, and runes The Tarot is a mythic map of the world and of consciousness. It offers a meta-language of signs and symbols that communicate their meaning precisely. Yet the true origins of the Tarot remain shrouded in mystery. These oracular cards have long been thought to have come from Egypt or from the “Gypsies,” but as Stephen E. Flowers reveals, their original roots lie in the Mithraic tradition of the Persian Magi. In this book, Flowers explores the historical roots and mythology of the symbolic images that became known as the Tarot. Drawing on theories first pioneered by the Swedish scholar Sigurd Agrell (1881-1937), he reveals the genesis of the Tarot’s symbolism in the great Hermetic tradition at the same time the Magical Papyri were being written in Greco-Roman Egypt. He explains how the sequencing of the Major Arcana is related to the images used in Mithraic initiation, elements of which were then integrated into existing Roman and Egyptian traditions. Exploring the Magian teachings on the Stoeicheia, an alphabet that acted as a map for understanding the order of the cosmos, he demonstrates how this alphabet of magical symbols was the template for the Tarot. The author also shows how the 22 Major Arcana cards were related to the 22 letters of the Roman alphabet used for oracular purposes in ancient times. Looking in-depth at the principles of Mithraism, the author explains how the Roman form of Mithraism, a guiding factor in the early shaping of the Tarot, was itself a synthesis of Iranian Magianism, Greek stoicism, Babylonian astrology, and Greco-Egyptian Hermeticism. Exploring the cards themselves, Flowers then looks at the original meanings of the Major Arcana using Mithraic symbolism and its offshoots. He also explains the truth behind many of the myths surrounding the Tarot, including their deep-level connections with Egypt, the Romani people, the Semitic tradition, and runes. By restoring the original mysteria to the icons of the Tarot and learning their true origins, we can better understand the insight these powerful cards impart in divination.

Now in a fully corrected edition, one of the true spiritual classics of the twentieth century. Published for the first time with an index and Cardinal Hans Urs von Balthasar’s afterword, this new English publication of Meditations on the Tarot is the landmark edition of one of the most important works of esoteric Christianity. Written anonymously and published posthumously, as was the author’s wish, the intention of this work is for the reader to find a relationship with the author in the spiritual dimensions of existence. The author wanted not to be thought of as a personality who lived from 1900 to 1973, but as a friend who is communicating with us from beyond the boundaries of ordinary life. Using the 22 major arcana of the tarot deck as a means to explore some of humanity’s most penetrating spiritual questions, Meditations on the Tarot has attracted an unprecedented range of praise from across the spiritual spectrum.
