Introduction
Dance is ... everything ... You'll see. Earth, air, fire, water - and the Major
Arcana. There is a path to all knowledge and prophecy, when the letters and they
are placed side by side. - Charles Williams, The Major Arcana.
For those seeking a greater awareness of their place in the universe, the Tarot
is considered by some as a bridge between conscious awareness and the conscious
wisdom. The Magician Tarot is a deck of destination. Within the field of 78 card
s is a Trail when i sleep Avigiar1. His symbols are the signs that mark the soul
's journey through the World of Darkness toward a higher realm of possibilities.
A Little Common Sense, Please
Although its symbolism coincides with many traditional forms of images and assoc
iations of the Tarot, this deck is a deck of initiation for aspiring magicians,
it is simply an accessory item. Tarot Cards, whether traditional or modern, are
not toys. Although we expect you find use for them as a tool for exciting and in
spiring narratives,Tarot traditionally serves as a tool for self-directed. Many
accounts credit glimpses beyond perceptions of "normal" for Tarot readings, othe
rs say the cards simply allow you to get access to those parts of the subconscio
us that we ignore in our daily lives. Whatever be true (assuming there is only o
ne truth), not recommend the use of a deck of playing cards for real-life issues
, nor endorse the use of instruments for those who do not know what they are doi
ng. Believing or not, have some of respect and common sense. Please.
History of Tarot
Although the Tarot decks have first appeared in the fourteenth century, the idea
s and symbols that they embody extend well over the past in history, encompassin
g the knowledge and philosophies of ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and the beginn
ings of Roman church and the teachings of Talmudic scholars. The striking images
of the Tarot served as a media independent of the barriers of language and cult
ure, so that researchers from the hidden truths could share their findings throu
gh an understanding that transcends cultural barriers. Tarot cards have gone thr
ough many permutations over the centuries. Used by Gypsies as tools to make pred
ictions across Europe in the late Middle Ages, letters appealing and tempting it
ems soon became popular in the homes of nobles. The French have transformed the
Tarot in playing cards, discarding the Major Arcana and changing suits of Rods,
Cups, Swords and Pentacles to suit most familiar of spades, hearts, diamonds and
clubs of the modern deck of 52 cards. Although some students of esoteric knowle
dge has utilized the Tarot as a mnemonic tool for preserving the ancient truths,
it was only in the nineteenth century that a resurgence of interest in theosoph
ical studies led to the rediscovery of letters and an attempt to restore its ori
ginal purpose. Eliphas Levi, Israel Regardie, Helena P. Blavatsky, William Butle
r Yeats and Aleister Crowley did, they all made important contributions to moder
n Tarot. But they were just the first wave. Page 4

The deck of Rider-Waite Tarot, designed by Arthur Edward Waite and William Rider
and illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith, is by far the most popular and inspira
tional Tarot decks standards in use in modern times. In recent years, interest i
n Tarot gave rise to a wide variety of decks, reinterpreting the ancient symbols
to adapt them in feminist paradigms, holistic and multicultural. Most of the pi
ctures survived the translation, being a witness to the flexibility of the under
lying truths that the letters cover.
Letters
The Magician Tarot is intended primarily for use with games set in World of Dark
ness. Our purpose is not to teach you how to use the tarot (you can learn it wit
h any deck), but instead provide you with a deck that reflects the imagery of ou
r world of dark fantasy. Several possible uses are discussed later in the game.
Although the slope Mage: The Ascension, this deck can be used with any of the ga
mes system Narrative of the White Wolf.
Symbolism
Many of the symbols familiar to aficionados can be found in the Tarot deck, but
several have been upgraded or replaced by more Punk-Gothic counterpart. Although
the cards can be used for readings in themselves, they become even more signifi
cant when compared to a traditional deck as the Rider-Waite.
The Text
Each card has several meanings related to it for both normal and reversed positi
ons, and each has one or more paragraphs of text with comments on the letter.Unl
ike more traditional decks, the paragraph does not describe the letter and provi
des a possible interpretation, instead, it creates a climate or illustrate a ref
lected image of the World of Darkness. Some feature characters from various book
s of Mage: The Ascension. These resources can provide more references to the use
r, but are not essential to understanding the letters.
The Suits
Although they are similar to suits of Wands, Swords, Cups and Pentacles Tarot no
rmal, the suits of the Tarot Magician correspond to various types of essences th
at dye Avatars mystics. Each Essence turn is associated with one of the four fac
tions of the society of magicians . Thus, the suits have the following matches:
Suit (Essence) Questioning ii primordialism Dynamism Standard Faction Traditions
Nephandi Marausa 2 iii Technocracy Element Fire Water Air Earth Rods Cups Tarot
Suit of Swords Pentacles

Chapter One: Using the Letters


Shall not cease from exploration And the end of all exploring Will be to arrive
where we started And know the place first. T. S. Eliot, "Little Gidding"
Through the centuries, the Tarot decks have become popular tools to predict the
future, and in many ways the two are intrinsically linked. The serious-minded st
udents despise the use of Tarot cards to targets as low as the prediction of fut
ures up or decay in love, business and other personal matters. Scramble and rand
omly distribute the cosmic secrets contained in the letters close to blasphemy.
To these aficionados, the Tarot is a key to unlock the universal truths hidden d
eep in the subconscious. Da very same way a magician seeks within himself the de
finitions of reality that mark their progress towards Ascension. The Tarot decks
are made to be used. His own way - letters arranged in a distinct hierarchy of
needs in relationship to each other - states its use in visual provisions as the
best method to study its contents. The letters, like the books can be read. Eac
h arrangement of the letters reveal a new perception of the meanings of the imag
es. When you rearrange the letters, either randomly or intentionally the very fu
ndamental basis of reality are reordered. The world around us, reflected in the
letters, becomes a very different place. Trying to understand the meaning of the
se pieces reassembled possibility is the true work of seers, philosophers, magic
ians and storytellers.
Reading Prints
Tarot readings typically involve the placement of the letters in arrangements ca
lled runs. Before doing a reading,a card in the deck should be chosen to represe
nt the person or question for consideration. It is common to use the "Letters Cu
t" of the Minor Arcana to represent the subject of reading, but any card that se
ems appropriate can be chosen. This letter should be removed from the deck befor
e it was scrambled.
The Celtic Cross
The most popular edition of the Tarot, called the Celtic Cross, consists of 10 c
ards, and focuses on past and future near and far from the target of reading. Mo
st of the guides to the Tarot contains instructions for use of this draft. Altho
ugh recommended that the full deck is used in a print run of 10 cards, you can a
lso use only the Major Arcana for this purpose.

Example:
The character of Joel is a young man named Angelo Verbena. In a previous game, A
ngelo found other waking beings (vampires, orphans iv virilobos 3 and 4) the fir
st time. At the time he felt he needed to cooperate with them to fulfill their m
ission, but Since then questions whether he acted properly and what to do in the
future. Your question is "How do I proceed when dealing with other beings wakin
g 5 v, especially when at times we may wonder?" The Narrator, in the role of men
tor to Angelo, Crispin, the head of his Chantra, he reads to him. The initial le
tter, which is not reckoned with the rest, is placed in the center of circulatio
n. This, so-called letter from the consultant representing the investigator aski
ng the question. Since Traditionally it is a young magician, Angelo choose Page
of Inquiry to represent him. The first card is placed over the letter of the ask
er, this covers the researcher and represents the forces that are ongoing in the
life consultant. The letter is The Hanged Man. Crispin says Angelo, "You are fa
cing a situation that could potentially ruin all of your preconceptions. You're
hanging in a moment of choice to accept or reject the opportunities presented to
you." The second card is placed across to the asker and cover letters, forming
a cross. This letter, The Magician, represents conflict. Crispin says, "The Magi
cian's will. This will, which makes him a magician, and insists that mold realit
y to your vision may represent an obstacle both for you and for creatures whose
existence you have discovered. "The word" faerie "comes from Fata, the name of t
he Roman goddess of fado (fate). The word" fey "comes from a Middle English word
which means "fated to die." Humankind can see, the "fae", an unpleasant and pos
sibly inevitable end. Fairy comes from the same source that fae: lat. fata, ae '

The next card is placed below the cross. Gaia is reversed. "This forms the basis
or the near past," he says. "Indicates that you had a bad basic understanding o

the cross. "This crown you," announces Crispin. "Represents their immediate fut

suit indicates that you should get your answer in the depths of their passions,
their instincts and your unconscious mind. "The reveler is placed to the right o

the exception of the final draft of the letter, this is probably the most import

or a seer, perhaps a woman, or even a Marau, open your eyes. "The next card is
inside their concerns, their fears and concerns . It forms the basis of a row of
four cards that will arise next to the FAO. This is the Three of questioning. T
his indicates that their deepest concerns are that you in any way compromise the

"The following are the outside influences, friends and society. The letter is pl

goes up Knight's Primordial: The Hermit, reversed. "This reveals their hopes and
ideals, what you want from all this. It seems that what you want is no guide, b
ut be guided. You are expected to remain in an immature, childish, do not you wi
ll not have to take the responsibility for forging a new path. "Finally, we arri
ve at the total result of reading." He puts the final card on the Hermit. "This
is Luna, and indicates a meeting with his subconscious. His track is to follow t
he call of nature interior, to hear the voice of your Avatar. Do what you think
is right. "
The Circular Circulation
Another possible printing involves placing a predetermined number of cards in a
circle around a central letter. A circle of 12 cards could be used to suggest a
course of action or a mental state that will cover the space of a year, while a
circle of seven letters could indicate a week.
Example:
The cards are arranged in a circle around the letter from the consultant. Crispi
n chooses the progenitor of Inquiry to represent himself, as he leads the Chantr
a. He puts seven cards (to represent one week) with the face down and begin with
the letter top right for Sunday.

Ideas for Use of the Letters
These cards can be used in various ways to improve your game. Some of these are
of greater use to the Narrator, but many are useful for players as well.
Character Creation
These cards can be used to assist in character creation. Players and Storyteller
s can draw a card at random from the deck and use the text, the meaning or image
to suggest an idea for the character. Anything from its appearance to its conce
pt, Background, Magic balls, Merits and Flaws, your Track to Rise, skills or eve
n his likely destination can be built up based on anything found in the letter.
Any of the above runs divination can be used for character creation, although a
draft linear three letters usually work better.
Examples:
Jim wants an interesting character, with a past. He takes the Knight of the rand
omly paced and gets the following ideas from its meaning and its image: The char
acter is a young magician with a core dynamics. He has dark brown hair and eyes
dark (associated with your suit), and comes from a wealthy family (the plants sh
own on the chart). He was a very powerful magician, but is very impulsive (meani
ng of the letter). Once, he held a highly vulgar in effect front of Sleeping. Wh
en a spirit of paradox confronted him, he entered into a long silence. He recent
ly regained his health and returned to the mundane world, yet most of their prev
ious memories, including his knowledge of magic was lost. He went back to square
one and must begin again. However, old friends and enemies may well remember hi
m, making his new life interesting. Although he is brave, he has a tempestuous n
ature. Impulsivity and Its Defects include amnesia. He can be good with weapons.

a person who the characters are about an item or information they obtained. This
may lead to the chronic a totally new direction or allow a brief interlude, and
then a return to the main plot.
Example:
• You thought, sure, they steal the limousine that was parked at the curb. They
did that and now are stuck in an alley facing six NA sights seen. "At the top, a
team of Technocracy waits in his helicopter to see if the NA Miras will do the
trick. The whole scene is becoming the biggest fiasco. What do you do? You invok
e the unexpected. A letter taken Unveils Five Pattern.
The obvious scenario suggested by this letter is to transform a scene of capture
. For some reason, the Technocrats want the characters alive. In custody, they c
an learn something important, or know a non-player character useful. They can al
ways try to escape. Another interpretation could be that someone very powerful i
s protecting the rear of them, that someone will make a maneuver to help them wh
en all seems lost. But it may nevertheless require some service in return.
Spirits & Effects
Let the cards provide you with ideas for creating spirits, family and residents
of the Umbra. Let the pictures determine how NPCs react to various characters, e
specially if the characters simulate some behavior. Realms doors turning may see
m like the scenarios of standard letters or can contain these scenes within them
. The images, symbols and meanings need not be taken literally. Feel free to pla
y with them and combine them in different ways. Page 15
Example:
Looking for a spirit Umbral, Wendy takes a random card to give you inspiration.
She gets the progenitor of the Standard, which features a man named Montego Diaz
-Quetzalcoatl. She decides that the Umbróide be some kind of spirit that resembl
es the Mesoamerican Quetzalcoatl and lives in a Kingdom of abundant crops. Becau
se of
nature and meaning of the letter, spirit probably would do so paternalistic and
authoritarian with the characters.
Unpredictable elements
The Magi live in a constant state of unpredictability. Let the letters to create
unpredictable effects for them. They can suggest ideas for the manifestation of
a reaction Paradox, or as the spirit of paradox looks or whatever. The cards ca
n be used as templates for construction of episodes of Silence, or as means to e
scape or overcome Kingdoms Paradoxes Silence.
Example:
• The character Simone, Jane, too blatantly used the Sphere of Forces as a weapo
n, and, moreover, in front of Sleeping. A spirit of paradox appears to take her
to a United Paradox. Looking for inspiration for both the spirit and to the King
dom, Wendy takes the Five of dynamism. It describes the spirit as a biker big, t
ough, wiry, with a terrible club with nails. Simone is dragged into a kingdom wh
ere she must flee from enemies who always excel, no matter as they appear weak.
They are always brutal and direct,chasing her for dead-end-scary. Simone should
find that you need subtlety, even of tricks to defeat them. The direct combat ne
ver free.
Effects Coincident
This advanced option is best applied to groups very experienced. The cards can b
e used by both the Narrator and the players to create opportunities for magical
effects coincide. Using a card drawn by the Narrator or delivered to the player
early in the session, the character could take the meaning or the image of the c
ard and use that element as a model for a point more coincidental. Literally, it
would be as if the magician "launch it," fishing ideas on how to do spells less
obvious to create a scenario where the magic seems coincidental because it fits
the image of the letter. This option is more difficult to achieve than others b
ecause it requires cooperation between players and the Storyteller to create the
opportunity illustrated by the letter. The Storytellers should feel free to ban
such effects or consider them vulgar if the player is too far. Example: • Fleei
ng from agents of Technocracy through the streets of New Orleans, Kathryn, a you
ng Verbena, is running out of options. The Sleepers are everywhere, and she can
not stop to draw blood or use any magic effective against their persecutors with
out having dozens of witnesses non-Awake. Still, she must do something. She asks
the narrator whether there is something going on nearby that could help her. We
ndy takes a letter, the Six of primordialism. It turns out that this card can ac
tually be helpful. Wendy announced that later on in the park on Bayou St. John,
Kathryn can see a big voodoo ritual in progress. Fortunately, Kathryn runs up th
ere, get a skull full of blood and begins to deliver the music. The agents rush
to her. She plays the blood in their eyes and utilizes Sphere of Life to let the
m blind for some time.
To have used the guise of playing blood in their eyes under circumstances where
Sleepers expect some strange events, the crowd had an explanation for why agents
are blind - if not even noticed what happened in the middle of the wild ritual.
The spirits did it, or was it just something really terrible in the blood? Anyw
ay, Katrhyn succeeded blindness-with matching blood as magic (instead of a commo
n effect of "I move my hand, and they are blind), and facilitates his escape.
Rites of Passage
The Tarot is essentially a tool for learning where we discover things about ours
elves. When a mage wants to increase its value to Arete, he must go through some
type of ordinance. The cards can be very
Page 16
useful in providing ideas for ordinances, rites of passage, Searches, learning e
xperiences, and other journeys of self-knowledge. Complete Prints are recommende
d when using the cards for this purpose.
Example:
• 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. To mount a search, Wendy uses a circulation of Celtic Cross as
inspiration. The inquirer is the Knight of the Standard because the character is
a young Progenitor of black hair. In order, the cards are: Covering: Three Patt
ern - The search will involve persistence to get something. It can be physical,
but not necessarily. Cross: The Wizard - The wizard can be your worst enemy, or
someone may be hindering your spiritual advancement. This hurdle must be overcom
e. Base: Standard Eight - The reason for the search for the magician. He may fee
l inadequate or unable to progress, and is fighting it. Near Future: Nine of Inq
uiry - The magician should be alert and anticipate the challenges that face. Rec
ent past: Ginearca of primordialism, inverted - This influence can mean a last l
etter motivating and leading cross the future. It may be the cause of the opposi
tion, or it may represent the very perversity within the magician and the fear o
f committing to the search. Far Future: progenitor of Inquiry - A meeting with a
uthority is indicated. Some sort of ruler or leader is an obstacle to be overcom
e.Personal fears: The Devil, reversed - There are two levels here. Fears persona
l involve not recognize the time to act, be paralyzed by indecision. Or, on anot
her level, the magician fears the forces arrayed against him, probably Nephandi.
External Influences: Justice - Friends or society may require the magician to a
ct appropriately and make the right decisions, and justifying their choices. The
y can judge what the magician does. In another sense, they may be potential mate
s, the letter suggests that a Brother Akashic can become an ally. Ideals and Obj
ectives: The Emperor, reversed - The magician hopes to meet in some way to searc
h without assuming the responsibilities to which he does not consider itself pre
pared. He may have to overcome someone in authority, perhaps dethrone him to obt
ain wisdom. upshot: The Fool reversed - The end result is a loss of innocence of
the magician and a free spirit as the price for growth in wisdom. To gain some
dreams, you must sacrifice another.
6. 7.

10.
The reading indicates some direct conflict with the Nephandi. Its influence corr
upts someone with authority over the magician. The Construct of the magician or
the Convention may disagree with their actions, and may even undermine what he's
trying to do. In the end, he must have the courage to remove the authority of h
is way - possibly a teacher or mentor, someone he trusted in the past - and in s
o doing, gain wisdom, but lose their innocence.

Chapter Two: The Major Arcana


O ye wise men of God in the holy fire, As in a golden mosaic mural, Teach me to
sing, yet letting the fire, bolt upright in turn. - W. B. Yeats, "Sailing to Byz
antium"
The 22 letters that make up the Major Arcana are the heart of the Tarot. Togethe
r, the letters illustrate the passage of the soul of unformed possibility for co
nsciousness informed. The richness of these letters contain symbols that creates
a visual plot threads woven by the unconscious collective. strangely familiar i
conography of the cards talks to the imaginations of poets, dreamers, storytelle
rs, craftspeople, the will and truth seekers.
