"I have
always been fascinated by symbols. Symbols look so simple, yet
they communicate so much. They provide a way to tap into our collective
unconscious and discover unlimited potentials. After creating my first
tarot decks, I felt the need to make a simple deck. In our society we
commonly make use of symbols to capture specific concepts in a simple
image. Look around next time you are at the airport, or the train station.
Based upon the ordinary use of symbols, I condensed each tarot image
to an essential simple image. Simple in appearance, each one was carefully
chosen to reflect its tarot interpretation. The booklet contains explanations
of the cards, based on hermetic traditions. For example, Card 11 shows
a closed hand. "A hand is the symbol of strength and power. A clenched
fist possesses confined energy, potential energy ready to explode unless
it is directed in a purposeful way or transformed by relaxation. It
needs to be used in a creative manner; the hand thus needs to channel
its energy."
