 TEMPLAR TAROT & BOOK PACKThis is a richly symbolic deck that makes direct and indirect references to many Templar legends. The accompanying book includes the following identifications for the Majors: the Pilgrim, the Troubadour, Mary Magdalene, the Great Mother, Dagobert II, the Pope, Repanse de Schoye, Saladin, Bernard of Clairvaux, John the Baptist, Tarot itself (as the Wheel of Fortune), King Solomon, the Heretic, the Alchemist, the Grand Master, Rex Mundi, the Secret Tomb, the Bloodline, the Cathars, the Gnostic Church, the Crucifixion, and Ein Sof. An additional Major is named the Magic Flute. It appears to represent Tamino, the initiate of the "Temple of Reason and Nature," from Mozart's Masonic opera, The Magic Flute. (Mozart himself was a Mason, and another Mason, Emanuel Schikaneder, wrote the text of the opera, the Second Act of which reflects Masonic initiatory rituals.) Allen Chester & Daria Kelleher

Taken together, these legends tell an epic tale and create, in effect, a modern mythology. Some of the primary story lines of this new "tradition" reflect mainstream Masonic legends, such as Hiram Abif's construction of King Solomon's temple. Like that story, most of these legends have some connection to ancient or Medieval Christian stories, including both orthodox and heretical elements. The modern HBHG variants of this earlier mythology build on its foundation, interpreting Christian and Masonic elements primarily in terms of Gnostic and neo-Pagan beliefs. Templar Tarot reflects this orientation, with many elements of recent vintage, deriving from various books of the HBHG genre. This should appeal to those who enjoy these books and speculations, although as noted above, most such modern legends have little historical support. (As an illustration, the trials did not even accuse the Templars of any Gnostic-related heresy.)(5) While no systematic narrative cycle or analytical scheme is immediately apparent in the sequence of Templar Tarot Majors, the individual cards of the deck are in some cases fascinating for their thoughtful symbolic design.
