“Two of the most significant sacred books of Christianity are Ezechiel’s Prophecy and The Apocalypse, two Kabbalah writings which are comments of Magus Kings. The books are sealed with seven seals, but are perfectly revealing for those who are initiated in the fields of the occult sciences.
There is another book, much more occult and secret, for it contains the key to all the other writings. It is meant for common people but people have not yet discovered it. A lot of people spend their precious time searching for it where it was not to be found. This book, perhaps older than Enoch’s Book, has never been translated, as it was written in a secret language and on different pieces of paper or boards like the plates of the ancient scientists… This is a real wonderful, unique, simple and powerful masterpiece similar to the pyramids which shall last for ever. It points out all fields of science and gathers infinite combinations which can solve any problem. The work speaks for itself and makes you think thoroughly, be inspired and create the harmony amongst all possible concepts; it is a masterpiece of the human spirit and certainly, one of the most beautiful things inherited from Ancient times.
All religions have kept the memory of a primitive writing, gathering images collected throughout the time by the scholars of the first centuries and whose symbols, made simpler and lay later on, have established The Holy Scriptures as well as occult philosophy. Jews used to considered that the book would belong to Enoch (Cunok), the seventh teacher of the world after Adam; Egyptians to Hermes Trigimestos; Greeks to Cadmos, the mysterious builder of the holy town - Jerusalem. Therefore, the book was the symbolic summary of the primitive tradition called Kabbalah, according to the Hebrew name meaning tradition.
The Tarot, a mysterious book, who inspired all sacred books of the ancient peoples according to the analogical precision of its Images and Numbers, became the perfect mean of divination. I, for instance, advise you to use it. The truth is that the so-called oracles of this book are always true, the cards (Arcane) reveal secrets and give the wisest advice to all those who “ask” for them.”
