Tarot of the Templars
From Tarotpedia

[edit] Description
A magnificent, faux-historical, Marseille-style Tarot with simple evocative trumps and ornate nonscenic pips. The deck's symbolism draws explicitly on the history and legend of the Knights Templar, an order of Holy Monks created to defend pilgrims to the Holy Land and who ended violently (and famously) persecuted and murdered en masse as heretics. In the centuries since, occultists and historians have theorized powers, wisdom, and secrets of every stripe at the root of their meteopric rise and terrible downfall.

[edit] Creator's comments
"Templars did not invent the Tarot, but by reviving the sacred occultism of those ancient times, it will simultaneously pay homage to those Initiates who gave their life for their ideals and their search, as well as bring new light to the study of Tarot which takes, in this context, another dimension. The poet will find herein the continuation of his dream, the lover his love, and the student the way to true initiation – because let us not forget that “what does not become conscious returns to us as destiny,” as was said by C.G.Jung."
