Description

The Thelemic Holy Season is a recurrence from March 20th through April 10th yearly – the last three days celebrating the writing of the Book of the Law. These 22 days are attributed to a Hebrew Letter, Major Arcana, and Path on the Tree of Life. Each is also attributed to specific readings of the Holy Books of Thelema, also known as Class A Texts. It is recommended that the aspirant read these texts and display the corresponding Tarot Trump to conduct a meditation, ritual or other forms of recognition of the principle as they see fit.

In 2022 e.v., inspired by this month-long practice, I produced 22 paintings – one each day – for the entire duration of the Holy Season. What started as a visual meditation morphed into a Tarot in its own right. To understand its meaning, it’s important to say that most imageries differ from traditional depictions of the Major Arcana. That’s because the Class A texts hint – veiledly or explicitly – at specific magical formulas, thus suggesting a different symbolism in line with the New Aeon.

Differently from the traditional tarot decks, the Tarot of the Holy Season goes backwards from The Universe to The Fool, following the days of the Holy Season itself.

This Tarot was hand painted, which results in a raw texture. For the originals, I have used gouache paint and acrylics on 90 gsm ivory parchment paper (A4) which I cut in half.
