Notes
The Masonic Tarot was created by Freemasons during the French and Industrial Revolutions to help lubricate the transfer of power from Feudal elites to Capitalist elites.[2]
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." [3]
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."[4]
The Masonic Tarot is sexist. Almost all authors who comment upon the archetypes reproduce binary and stereotypical notions of gender. "He is the objective aspect of consciousness....she is the subjective aspect..."[5]
Writers, like Case[6] 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.[7]
