With Alexandre Jodorowsky, thanks to secret documents I possessed, and following a method that we shall keep secret, we were able to restore the Tarot de Marseille to its original form. It was a very complex process. It was necessary to go against the current of classical thinking.

Here are some examples:

We put back an egg which had been missing on the card The Emperor and which was located under the eagle.

We restored the two serpents situated at the feet of the angel in the card Temperance.

We also gave the Tarot the door to the tower in the card The House of God. These simple symbols are some of the many pages lacking for an understanding of the great book which is the Tarot. There are also a great number of symbols which we re-established, which were closely linked with each other, and which were all as important, though less spectacular to the novice.

The Restored Tarot de Marseille takes us on a voyage of initiation and discovery, of a Tradition which existed in Provence, France, and which had remained hidden during several centuries. More than a simple tool of divination, the Tarot de Marseille contains the Science of Sciences, and, if we are to believe the ancient Alchemists, there is no science on Earth that is superior to it.
