TaroT : Ancient Secrets Revealed

The TaroT: Ancient Secrets Revealed is a 78-card deck by artist and researcher Ryan Seven, conceived as a re-evaluation of tarot's 'high art.' The creator claims to have discovered profound symbolic knowledge within the cards, including a description of the Philosopher's Stone and the Holy Grail, which he believes has been obscured or lost in modern decks. The deck is presented as a tool for personal transformation and understanding of alchemical principles, with a focus on psychological roots and cosmic scope.

The deck includes 22 fully illustrated Major Arcana and 56 fully illustrated Minor Arcana cards. The accompanying materials, including a full-color explanatory artbook and video series, are intended to clarify the complex symbolism and teachings that Ryan Seven asserts are embedded within the TaroT. The project emphasizes a return to what the creator perceives as the original use of the deck to teach 'magical' arts of transformation, suggesting that current esoteric decks have lost cardinal secrets.

The physical deck is designed with 70 x 120mm cards printed on 300gsm cardstock with a smooth finish, housed in a custom-designed tuck box. The creator, with a background in professional photography and digital design, describes the artwork as an organic process, utilizing color palettes, forms, and hidden geometry associated with the cards' meanings. The project aims to make these ancient teachings accessible and understandable for a modern audience.

This deck is for experienced tarot readers and esoteric students interested in the historical and alchemical interpretations of tarot, particularly those seeking a deck that claims to reveal 'lost' or 'hidden' knowledge. It will appeal to individuals who resonate with themes of alchemy, sacred geometry, and personal transformation, and who are open to a highly specific, creator-driven interpretation of tarot symbolism. It is less suited for beginners or those seeking a standard Rider-Waite-Smith clone.

Ryan Seven, an artist and researcher with a background in professional photography and digital design, embarked on a 'years hermitage' to unravel the TaroT after discovering what he believed to be a profound description of the Philosopher's Stone within the cards. Guided by science and synchronicity, he aimed to simplify and explain the methods of alchemy and personal transformation he found. His mission is to bring the 'true teachings' back to the TaroT, which he believes have been obscured in modern decks.
