Oracle of the Bibled Uploaded Today

[Dormouse]

A hard-to-find OOP 64-card oracle deck by Marion and Robert Einbeck, published by Grimaud.

I don't remember the circumstances under which I acquired this deck, but it definitely ain't for me. I uploaded it because someone in the Orphalese community might find it useful at some point.

Here's some background: It is made up of 64 cards which represent the 64 first basic concepts of the Bible and have been selected after a comprehensive study of the book 'Concordances of the Bible of Jerusalem,' according to their frequency of quotation.

Each of the 64 cards is a card of meditation enabling a better approach and understanding of the concept illustrated on it. The forms and colors have been designed according to the Hebraic and numeric structure of each concept but also to the place they occupy in the Sephirotic Tree (Tree of Life) and following the Principle of the Golden Number.

On the back of each card, the word BERESHIT is written, first word of the Bible and translated by 'In the Beginning.' Each of the 6 ideograms it displays illustrates the Basic Forces and Vital Energies. It has been written 9 times in a pattern which progresses in lines so as to create a kinetic effect. ... Yada yada yada ... In English and French.

Sounds interesting. I hope i get to see it.

Meanwhile, here's an essay written by Allan Bennett (an early occult mentor to Aleister Crowley) called A Note On Genesis available online:

The text helped me to work with the court card structure that Crowley uses in his Thoth deck and can also work as a supplement to Mary K. Greer's work with the Star Spreads in her book Tarot Mirrors.
