The traditional Tarot is what the ancients called a Mutus Liber, that is, a silent book, a book without words. Hence the importance of knowing the symbols that make it up. Ignorant of what the motifs refer to, which the discreet author of the Tarot has taken from the Tradition and the master cardmakers have copied and perpetuated, modern man considers these cards as a mere divinatory support. However, the Tarot conveys a traditional message. It is the same teaching handed down from age to age, unchanged in substance, but often adulterated in form through the ignorance of the copyists. This teaching, by its very nature, cannot be expressed in words because it does not speak to the discursive intelligence but directly to the soul.
