The Restoration of the Tarot de Marseille was a scientific work which was undertaken over several years by Philippe Camoin and Alexandre Jodorowsky. "Almost all of the Tarots in the world are copied on the pattern of the Tarot de Marseille", observes Philippe Camoin, in the light of numerous irrefutable signs which he has gathered and uncovered in the course of his investigations of the Tarot de Marseille. The essential goal of this research was to rediscover the symbols, the purpose, and the primary meaning of this monument of Western culture, in a way that the language is equally intelligible to our friends in the East. It is helpful to quote here H.P. Blavatsky: "The Tarot is the key to all of Western esotericism."
