Tarot of the Sephiroth
Dan Staroff created the Tarot of the Sephiroth after eight years of meditation and study. He wanted to create a tarot deck that would help the user "gain direct access to the complex energies of the tarot and the Tree of Life" from the Kabbalah. The sephiroth are the ten spheres that make up the Tree of Life. In Staroff's deck, each sephiroth has a certain color and number. The circular borders of the numbered suit cards in the minor arcana show each card's corresponding sphere. The four court cards with the same rank can be joined together to create their respective sephiroth. The major arcana cards represent the 22 pathways between the sephiroth. On each one, two colored spheres and the appropriate connecting pathway are incorporated into the image. Mythical, esoteric and astrological symbols are also included. There is a separate companion book for this deck called Guide to Tarot of the Sephiroth.
