An English translation of Du Jeu des Tarots from Monde Primatif Volume 8 by Antoine Court De Gébelin. This passage is often quoted in texts and Tarot books about the history of Tarot, even after much of the information has been discredited. Du Jeu des Tarots et Recherches Sur les Tarots uncovers the sources that most likely contributed to the misconceptions leading to the transformation of this simple card game into a divination tool, much like how modern Oracle decks are perceived in the current Amazon publications.

Tarot, as we know it today, operates within the realm of mystical practices that coalesced through the efforts of the Golden Dawn in the late 1800s. The Tarot evolved into a comprehensive database, containing correspondences that emerged during studies in Astrology, Kabbalah, and Numerology. This workbook aims to enhance your understanding of one fundamental aspect of Tarot found in many Tarot books: Astrological correspondences. You will be guided through the Minor Arcana to the Major Arcana, similar to how Oracle decks explore various themes and insights.

In Du Jeu des Tarots and Recherches Sur les Tarots from Le Monde Primatif Volume 8, two different decks were featured in the book. Antoine Court De Gébelin used a TdM, while le Comte de Mellet described a similar Oracle deck with Jupiter and Junon replacing the Pope and the Popess. I discovered the J Jerger deck, dated circa 1800 by the British Museum, which, although not the exact deck, serves as a reproduction of an older deck by J.B. Benois from Strasbourg, France. If you're interested in exploring similar Tarot books, you can find them alongside various Amazon publications that delve into this fascinating subject.
Channeled through Dream work, the 22 cards of the Oracle of Astara, one of the intriguing Oracle decks available in various Amazon publications, depict the spiritual journey that High Priestess Astara, representative of the Temple of Isis, took into the Realm of the Messengers. This record of Astara’s journey into the other realm became the source of her oracular proclamations in the fabled Room of Divine Messengers. What did the Messengers tell her? What insights will the Oracle reveal to assist with your spiritual journey, much like the guidance found in Tarot books?
