The Masonic Tarot, in its esoteric form, is elitist. Knowledge and power given only to the worthy. "It has revealed Itself, in a measure, to the wise." <ref>Case, Paul Foster. An Introduction to the Study of the Tarot. New York: Kindle Edition, 1920.</ref>
 
The Masonic Tarot, in its exoteric form, exerts control over individual consciousness and inscribes a [[Fool in School]] ethic on the individual. Life is all about karma and lessons and so don't struggle or fight back, passively accept and learn your lessons.
 
A classic statement of this perspective is "The Tarot is a deck of 78 cards, each with its own imagery, symbolism and story. The 22 Major Arcana cards represent life's karmic and spiritual lessons, and the 56 Minor Arcana cards reflect the trials and tribulations that we experience on a daily basis."<ref>Biddy, Bridget. “Learn the Tarot Basics.” Biddy Tarot (blog), 2020. https://www.biddytarot.com/learn-tarot/.</ref>
 
 
The Masonic Tarot is sexist. Almost all authors who comment upon the archetypes reproduce binary and stereotypical notions of gender.

Writers, like Case<ref>Case, Paul Foster. An Introduction to the Study of the Tarot. New York: Kindle Edition, 1920.</ref> and Crowley, etc. use [[EPMO]] to obscure the basic ideology. Long paragraphs of tortuous prose with complicated and largely meaningless associations obscure the basic ideological statements. See for example Case, "An Introduction to the Study of the Tarot."
 
The Masonic Tarot is based on an ancient [[Old Energy Creation Template]], a [[Zoroastrian Creation Template]].<ref>For details of this template, see Mike Sosteric "From Zoroaster to Star Wars, Jesus to Marx: The Science and Technology of Mass Human Behaviour".  2018. <https://www.academia.edu/34504691>.</ref>
