In Episode Zero (21), we explore the mysterious origins of the TAROT. While traditionally thought to be simple game decks or wedding gifts for Renaissance Italy’s elite, Mike’s research reveals they were actually powerful magical tools, filled with hidden esoteric knowledge for occult rituals designed to increase wealth, power, and influence.

But who created the TAROT, and for what purpose? Though used for black magic at times, the cards originally depicted a spiritual journey, from fool to master, using universal archetypes. Mike suggests the TAROT’s origins trace back much earlier than the 14th century, possibly to Ancient Egypt.

We also examine the Tarot de Marseille, linked to the Cathars, a Christian Gnostic sect wiped out by the Roman Catholic Church. Could the TAROT have been their creation, a tool for transmitting ancient knowledge that leads to spiritual enlightenment?

In Part 2 (members only), we delve into the tarot’s symbolic, alchemical, and astrological layers, questioning if these cards were used not only for divination but to shape collective reality. Mike explores how occult symbols in the Rider-Waite deck seem to predict events like 9/11.

Finally, we look at how the tarot can guide spiritual mastery or reveal the subconscious mind, drawing on Carl Jung’s work and the book Meditations on the Tarot, by the mysterious Valentin Toomin.
