Grail Tarot: A Templar Vision

by John Matthews With cards illustrated by Giovanni Caselli With The Grail Tarot, John Matthews and Giovanni Caselli join forces to bring together the elements of the Grail legend in a wonderfully conceived and beautifully designed new tarot. The grail legend is one of the most famous and enduring mysteries ever. At the story's center is a group of knights on a quest to find the ancient relic. The Grail Tarot relates this search for the sacred Christian relic to our desire to understand the puzzle of our own lives. The Knights Templar have long been linked with the Grail, and they and other archetypal figures associated with the Templar mysteries - as well as well-known Grail figures such as Galahad - take their place in the deck's Major Arcana. The four Hallows of the Grail represent the suits: cup, spear, sword, and stone.  About the Author: JOHN MATTHEWS is a world-renowned expert on the Grail and the Arthurian legends.
