So, after much editing, recoloring (and full out redrawing of some cards) here's what the final "production" versions of what the Majors will be.
I've uploaded these new ones and replaced the old cards if you want to look at them individually, but since I didn't want to annoy anyone with 22 deviations in their inbox here they all are in one handy chart. :3

I'm actually quite disappointed with my work on the minor arcana and may just hit the reset button on them though. Accepting when you've failed, no matter how far you've come is hard, but that's life I guess.

I love how Capricorn is symbolized with the Devil caqrd. I don't know why, exactly, but it seems so fitting!

The secret of the post Masonic Tarot is that it's actually pictorial guide to Kabbalah rather than a divination tool. i.imgur.com/i1x1B7K.jpg i.imgur.com/vi34Hla.jpg
Sure, it can be used as a divination tool, but so could literally anything else.
Hell, you could go to a bar with a pad of paper and record everything happening around you as if it was a message from the universe and it would be just as effective, if not more so.

My god it's power level is over 9000!!

Dude that's awesome. I've loved watching each one as it's created, and seeing them all together like that is just cool as hell. The minors are amazing, too. Are you going to be offering it up as a poster or anything like that? Because I'd buy it.

Thanks mang!
I do like some of the minors, but I don't think they're up to par with the majors and I've got a very neat idea up my sleeve how to go about them.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, as always. I'm not even going to attempt doing the minors yet.

amazing.
Your rather taken with the kabbalah it seems
There are prolly more references in these cards then i am seeing.
I like the tarot, though I dont know much of there meanings, any work I do with them is more intuitive. 

I would say doing the minor is much harder to do then the major. The major is such rich in symbolism and meaning. Plus it has a rather long set of traditionally used motifs/imagery. Whereas the minor does not have that. I have seen lots of decks where there is nothing but the suit icon repeated over and over again. With only little attention given to the court cards. There are some that do put a lot of effort into giving them a rich and unique imagery, alas they seem far and few between.

Wish you much luck with the minor.

Tarot is used as a pictorial guide to Kabbalah for some people. i.imgur.com/i1x1B7K.jpg i.imgur.com/vi34Hla.jpg
I've got a very awesome "middle ground" idea for the minors that I think will please both parties though. That's my hope anyhoo. XD

I dont think I knew about using the tarot as a pictorial guide to the Kabbalah. I know some use it for various forms of pathworking. That's pretty cool.
I have only a passing familiarity with the Kabbalah. It's never figured into what I do, even though it kinda underpins many differing systems.

i really appreciate the fact that you put the paths on it. However, sometimes I feel like it takes a lot of attention to itself and maybe that's why so many tarot decks use the hebrew letters exclusively. I think that my favourite card in your major arcana would have to be death or the hierophant, but I can't put my finger on why I like those two specifically.

bluefluke In reply to technotherion [2015-01-18 01:23:35 +0000 UTC]

I just put the paths up front so the everyday Tarot user would get that "Is that what this is for?" connection.
Well I'm glad SOMEONE liked my poor hierophant. I think he's my least popular card for some reason.

technotherion In reply to bluefluke [2015-01-18 08:54:24 +0000 UTC]

I wonder why! The Hierophant looks quite a bit different from the other cards. The Hierophant seems like a charismatic teacher with a lot of wisdom, while the other cards display a very youthful, energetic outlook in them. The hierophant card seems almost nostalgic in a strange way... hard to explain and i'm a bit impaired

I love your version of the tower. The destruction of the hive would be an apocalypse to a bee.
I love this whole set. So many little details.

Thanks! I went through five (!) different motifs before having a nightmare about being a bee in a burning hive. I woke up and was like "that's it!" : D

That's pretty cool. It kind of makes me think about a lot of stuff. As a collective, we seem more similar to insects than primates.
I don't know what most of the cards mean yet but I think I'll have a lot more fun learning it with your version. The tower is supposed to be like the end of the world or something, right? That makes way more sense to me with the image of the Burning hive. If it wasn't for obvious events, I would never associate a burning tower with apocalyptic fear and destruction.
