The Inverted Tarot

The Inverted Tarot mythos is as follows (from the booklet's introduction, written by fictional character Dr. Leonard White):

"The Inverted Tarot has been marked with scholastic controversy since it's discovery. Found in a frighteningly narrow passage in Lascaux in 1984, the cards depict simple symbols from various time periods and cultures. Because of this, it's been widely accepted that the cards themselves were made in the latter part of the 18th century.

Reflecting a minimalist style, each card is meant to represent the purest force of each symbolic meaning. The significant properties of the deck as a whole are disturbing, since most tarot decks are meant to represent positive energies from the Zodiac, Qabbala and other such practices. The Inverted Tarot does no such thing.

In fact, this deck seems to invoke the qualities of the other side of the coin. It draws on Satanic, Necronomic and even Lovecraftian symbols to present the reader with the darker sides of reality. In tarot, an upright card usually has a positive connotation, and reversal of that card gives an opposite meaning. In the Inverted Tarot, many cards are negative in either direction, while some are positive (I use the term loosely) in both directions.

Tarot is meant to draw meaning from the reader, like the archetypes of Jung or the associative Rorschach inkblots. The deck I present in these pages was created to compliment the aspects of the reader with powers already present. It's as if the deck could channel dark metaphysical forces with no reader at all...."
