Rendered in the rich style of traditional Chinese artwork, the vibrant colors and clear messages of The Chinese Tarot Deck offer an aesthetic and accessible tarot experience. Jui Guoliang has created elegant ink and watercolor designs that skillfully blend archetypal symbols of Ancient Chinese literature, legend, philosophy, and culture. The Major Arcana draws upon the benevolent wisdom and insight of inspirational figures such as Confucius, Kuan Yin, and Chang Tao Ling, the Heavenly Master. The fully pictorial Minor Arcana are equally endowed with the lessons of Chinese history. The booklet by Stuart R Kaplan offers a description of each card's symbolism, with both upright and reversed meanings.

This book introduces a new version of Tarot cards derived from Chinese culture. There are five suits named and numbered according to the Generating Arrangement of the Chinese Five Elements. The fourth suit incorporates a Chinese version of the Major Arcana. Many concepts from Mahjong and Chinese traditional playing cards have been utilized. There are 144 cards not counting the Major Arcana fool which is number zero. This corresponds with the 144 tiles of Mahjong. The pack can be shortened to 108 cards (not counting the fool) which is a significant number in Chinese Buddhism and Daoism as well as in Hinduism. All of the cards were illustrated by the author. Each suit has a theme from Chinese history or culture. Suit 1 Swords corresponds with the Chinese element Wood and the ancient Greek element Air. It has a martial arts theme with images of famous swordsmen and women. Card 10 depicts Fu Hao the female commander-in-chief of the Shang Dynasty Army born around 1200 BC. Cao Cao (155-220) king of Wei is card 14 of this suit and his queen Bian Shi is card 13. Suit 2 Batons or Clubs represents the Chinese and Greek element Fire. The images on its cards are of the philosophers Lao Zi, Confucius, Mencius and others and its king is Liu Bei (161-223) of the kingdom of Shu, the previous card being his queen Gan Fu Ren. Suit 3 Coins or Pentacles relates to the Chinese and ancient Greek element Earth and displays merchants on the ancient Silk Road and Grand Canal as well as an image of the Earth God Tu Di Shen and his money tree. Suit 4 is the Major Arcana, or Da-Mi-Yi in Chinese, represented by the Greek element Ether or Spirit and the Chinese element Metal of Gold. Its Wheel of Fortune becomes the Tibetan Wheel of Life while the Magician becomes the Alchemist Wei Bo Yang (100-170). Suit 5 is the suit of Cups which equates with the Chinese and Greek element Water. It has images of China's famous ancient mariners including Xu Fu (born 255 BC) who may have sailed as far as Japan or even America and Fa Xian (337-422) who returned to China by sea from India. Then there are images of the Four Great Heavenly Kings of the 4 Directions found in most Chinese temples and the Earth god makes a fifth card. The Four Seasons, Four Flowers (Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum and Plum Blossom), Four Pastimes (Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting) and Four Professions (Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer and Scholar) also appear. The Cat, Mouse Cockerel and Centipede are there too. There are also cards with images of the Five Auspicious Animals (Qi Lin or Kylin, Golden Money Toad, Fortune Cat, Pi Xiu and Dragon Tortoise). The Five Stars of Good Fortune (including Shou Xing the God of Longevity, Xi Shen the God of Happiness and Cai Shen the God of Wealth) and their symbols of prosperity as well as their lucky animals, the bat, deer, crane, magpie and fish appear too. Finally there are the 8 Immortals and their 8 ritual implements. Earlier in the book a brief history of Chinese and Western playing cards is followed by several pages telling why and how I designed this Tarot pack. There are large clear diagrams explaining the suits and at the end of the book 131 pages are devoted to detailed descriptions of all of the 145 Chinese Tarot pictures, placing them in their cultural and historical context. In essence, this book is an introduction to some of the more interesting aspects of Chinese history and civilization. My hope is that readers could develop an appreciation of Chinese culture and find auspicious outcomes therein.

This book, which introduces a Chinese version of Tarot, is also about Chinese and Greco-Roman mythology and it relates to the passing of time and the calendar. It contains more than 1000 pencil drawings with captions in English and Chinese and 48 in English and Japanese. These images are in a format suitable for imprinting on playing cards. The book begins with the Five Elements of ancient China: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water and connects them to the elements devised by the Greek philosopher Empedocles. There are images of the 24 Solar Terms into which the Chinese year is divided and each of the 48 Japanese Flower Cards which represent the months January to December. Then there are the images of the 12 signs of the Western Zodiac and the 28 Chinese Lunar Mansions. Each of these images is imprinted with one of the 5 Chinese elements. This concept is carried further with images of 112 chemical elements and the 88 constellations. Images of the planets and their moons followed by the dwarf planets and potential dwarf planets such as Pluto, Haumea, and Eris and their moons are also included. Following this, a selection of 120 asteroids and 4 comets are depicted. Images are created according to Greco-Roman and Chinese myths associated with the names of celestial bodies. The ancient Chinese concept of the Limitless Cosmic First Principle or Wu Ji, followed by the two forms Yin and Yang and the 4 Phenomena, produce the Supreme Ultimate or Great Absolute Tai Ji. This theme continues with pictorial representations of the 8 Trigrams of Earlier Heaven and Later Heaven which interact with the 5 Elements in the material world in which we live. Then the 64 Hexagrams of the Book of Changes or Yi Jing offer possibilities for deciding on your future based on the inevitability of change and its consequences. Finally a Chinese version of Tarot has been created with suits based on the 5 Elements of ancient China and drawing on images from Mahjong and China's traditional playing cards. This book on mythology verges on the realms not only of astrology and fortune telling but also of astronomy and history. There are pictorial images of China's 77th 60 Year Cycle from 1864/65 to 1923/24. The corresponding years of the current 79th Cycle are also placed beside those historical images. For example, the Chinese cruiser Ding Yuan is shown damaged by enemy action in 1895 in the 32nd year of the 77th Cycle. In 2015 we are in the 32nd year of the 79th Cycle and we hope there will not be a repeat of hostile naval action. Other interesting images are of the 9 Northern and 6 Southern Dipper Stars, the 9 Sons of the Dragon, the 8 Immortals of Daoism, the 5 Fortune Stars and 5 Auspicious Animals. The Tarot cards include the 4 Mahjong Seasons and 4 Flowers as well as the 4 Pastimes and 4 Professions plus the Cat, Mouse, Cockerel and Centipede. The tarot suits follow themes related to their elements. For example, the suit of Cups is related to the element Water and contains images of China's ancient mariners followed by Chinese equivalents of Page, Knight, Queen and King. The Dragon and Phoenix of early 20th Century Mahjong have been reintroduced and the Major Arcana contains a Chinese alchemist instead of a magician while "the Tower" is Lei Feng Pagoda near Hangzhou which collapsed in 1924. The cards are related to one another and cross referenced where possible. For example, if your star sign is Gemini, it is related to the Chinese element 2 Fire, the Major Arcana image 6 "the Lovers" and the modern constellation 27 also called Gemini. If you are born in the year of the Rabbit (Earthly Branch 4) then there is a relationship with the Chinese element Wood, the direction East, the modern constellation 20 Lepus the Hare as well as Lunar Mansion 4 Rabbit which in turn relates to day 7 Sunday and the first week of the month. The book is provided with a detailed index of nearly 1500 entries to enable users to quickly and easily find things that interest the

A profusely illustrated history of the occult nature of the tarot from its origins in ancient Persia • Thoroughly examines the original historical source for each tarot card and how the cards’ divinatory meanings evolved from these symbols • Provides authentic 18th- and 19th-century spreads and divination techniques • Reveals the divinatory meanings of the cards as understood by diviners in the Middle Ages and Renaissance The origins of the tarot have been lost in the mists of time. Most scholars have guessed that its origins were in China, Egypt, or India. In Mystical Origins of the Tarot, Paul Huson has expertly tracked each symbol of the Minor Arcana to roots in ancient Persia and the Major Arcana Trump card images to the medieval world of mystery, miracle, and morality plays. A number of tarot historians have questioned the use of the tarot as a divination tool prior to the 18th century. But the author demonstrates that the symbolic meanings of the Major Arcana were evident from the time they were first employed in the mid-15th century in the popular divination practice of sortilege. He also reveals how the identities of the court cards in the Minor Arcana were derived from a blend of pagan and medieval sources that strongly influenced their interpretation in tarot divination. Mystical Origins of the Tarot provides a thorough examination of the original historical source for each card and how the cards’ divinatory meanings evolved from these symbols. Huson also provides concise and practical card-reading methods designed by the cartomancers of the 18th and 19th centuries and reveals the origins of the card interpretations promoted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and A. E. Waite.
