About this title

Synopsis

Wander through the garden of divine love, tread the sacred path of the Sufi, and behold the spiritual reality of divine beauty with every step. A beloved saint, teacher, and poet of the Sufi tradition, Rumi celebrated love and its ability to set the soul to flight. Let yourself be transported by Rumi's sublime poetry and the enchantingly exotic imagery of this tarot kit―and seek your own spiritual bliss.

This mystical tarot deck beautifully combines Nigel Jackson's original artwork with the inspirational writings of Rumi, depicting the soul's journey toward ultimate truth. The Rumi Tarot Kit includes:

~ Mesmerizing artwork, based on the Rider-Waite tradition, that captures the mystery and opulence of the Orient

~ Suggested tarot card layouts, spreads, and an in-depth historical background of the Sufi tradition

~ Clear instructions for using this tarot deck for divination, meditation, visualization, and chanting

"An important addition to the tarot world, not only because of the vivid imagery but because of the thoroughness of the background information."--Bonnie Cehovet

 

 

About the Author

Nigel Jackson, born in 1963, lives in Manchester, England and is a well-known artist and illustrator specializing in the symbolism of Western Esoteric Tradition: he is deeply immersed in the traditional Tarot of 15th century Italy, the magical teachings of medieval-renaissance astrological magicians such as Ficino, Agrippa and Bruno and in bringing to life the talismanic images inherited from ancient sources of arcane lore such as the Arabian grimoire The Picatrix. He has worked intensively in researching the magical system of the 28 Mansions of the Moon. Nigel has been involved for the last quarter of a century in pursuing the inner wisdom of the hermetic mysteries and in expressing the symbolic 'language of the gods' through his visual art which he views as a living  'alchemy of the imagination'.
