Symbolism and Themes

The Cosmic Tarot explores a profound web of visual and emotional associations, bridging the Golden Dawn system with unique astrological connections. The Major Arcana align closely with traditional symbolism but offer unique variations, like the mystic portrayal of the Hierophant and the serene depiction of the Hermit. The Minor Arcana, rich in symbolic detail, provide clear and insightful meanings that align with both the Thoth and Waite-Smith traditions. The Court cards feature portraits reminiscent of Hollywood stars, adding an elegant touch to the deck.
