The
Parallel Worlds Tarot was created over several years.
The charm of this deck lies in the detailed images and bright
colors. Its cards will inspire the reader and encourage him or her to
interpret intuitively. They are a tool for divination and represent the
Tarot as a mirror of the soul.
Using a figurative picture-language, each card shows an
association to situations named by it. The cards show scenes that could
be, will be or what is unlikely to happen. They also depict dreams,
hopes and astral visions. Countless possibilities are co-existent, and
the cards let you take a look at them. Several of the images seem as if
the viewer has already seen them before – but where? In some cases, they
contain archetypal elements, which are integrated into scenes that show
common hopes or fears.
The Minor Arcana consist of situations and feelings attached to
each card's denotation. These can be daily situations or dreams.
- Kings and Queens are powerful characters shown in their sphere of action.
- Knights are depicted with each corresponding (biblical)
creature, and are emphasizing the atmosphere that corresponds with their
element. Those four creatures (lion, eagle, human and bull) combined
form the sphinx.
- Squires are young males who travel on foot. Mostly they
represent a message or chance, or people we meet only for a short time.
The Major Arcana of this deck find new ways to express the
card's meanings. Some characters are detached from common schemes, like
the Devil or the Moon, some are depicted traditionally, for example the
Fool or the Hermit.
On all cards, the astrological correspondences are noted. These
are helpful correlations if the reader is already experienced, but also
if he or she is a beginner who decides to dive into the wonderful world
of astrological conjunctions with the Tarot. This wisdom is best
described for example by Tarot luminaries like Samuel Liddell MacGregor
Mathers or Aleister Crowley.
The Parallel Worlds Tarot is a deck of 78 cards,
which comes in a two-part box with lid. In the box you also find a small
companion booklet of 68 pages with colored cover and black and white
insides. The booklet contains information about the deck, especially
each card, and enables you to start reading with the Tarot even if you
are a beginner.
