It is a widely known fact that the Occultists and the Jesters share skill and
knowlege of the Tarot. This truth has given birth though to a serious
misconception- namely that the Occultists and the Jesters understand and
utilize Tarot iconography in the same way. Such is not the case, as I mean to
display here. Below my personal tarot set is described in verse, in all of its
blasphemous and magickal glory. But woe be to the uninitiated who try to create
and use them from these descriptions, for he will be most terribly surprised.
The Occult Tarot
0- The Fool
A valiant knight on this card stands
with burning book in burning hands
calling an end to the study of magick
ignorant, fearful, hateful and tragic
I- The Magician
Triangles, pent and septagons
crown magus' head in early dawn
whose face is downcast, deep in thought
alchemic gold is therein wrought
II- The High Priestess
Malformed, yet adept the Priestess here lies
elaphantine skull and misshapen thighs
her beauty is wretched, though she's near-divine
the High Priestess of Chaos, the Priestess is crying
III- The Empress
The Mystic Empress stands here regal
intuitive, decisive, magic and legal
Eris on Servelan superimposed
in gold, the moon, and diamonds clothed
IV- The Emperor
On this card Golgotha sits
on His throne before His pits
His monsterous attendants cower behind
as the unmerciful juror bellows his mind
V- The Hierophant
The highest of slaves, the master of house
Harlequin stands as a modernist Faust
the first demiurge, and servant to Him
to entropy, discord, that he fills their whim
VI- The Lovers
On the Lover's card I do confide
the Unnamable takes his bride
the virgin Maya trembles here
her hymen threatened by his spear
VII- The Chariot
Occultist sits, with his head bowed
his thoughts become distinct and loud
a shadown portal before him unfolds
his mind transporting him to lands untold
VIII- Lust
The unbearable attraction that this card denotes
symbolised in a woman made up of quotes
of divine triumverate, ascension and all
of magick, and knowlege, of ancient cabals
IX- The Hermit
Lorielan sits in isolation
banished queen of crystaline nation
her coup terminated, her pride impaled
she meditates upon why she failed
X- The Wheel
The Great Wheel of Chaos stands erect here
a mad Chaos Lord above it appears
on the wheel are inscribed contradictory runes
misfortune and fortune, sane men and loons
XI- Justice
The Court of Sarapis is depicted here
with all the gods staring in hatred and fear
Discord and Entropy stand smirking accused
soon they'll be greater- the whole universe'll be used
XII- The Hanged Man
The universe feels widely pangs
as anthropomorphic entropy hangs
blood, foam dripping on the ground
as his essence spreads the universe round
XIII- Death
A Black Hog's head upon the ground
with chicken's foot upon it sound
a prophesy, a finished deed
that boar's blood becomes chicken feed
XIV- The Creator
The Father of Humanity, the Grand Progenitor
stands erect with legs spread, a spring of arcane lore
flying from his holy loins are colours of all hues
sacred reds and holy blacks, mysterious yellows and blues
XV- The Devil
Babel, Twilight, Sartan and Eris
stand for this ancient forbidden force
a Karmic Scholar confronts them here
hoping to mask an ill-hidden fear
XVI- The Tower
A phallic tower, crumbling now
as Servelan observes in tow
a ruined basilica 'fore her eyes
she plots alone to her demise
XVII- The Star
In the upper ride the star resides
looking down on blasphemous rites
between Achaea and it a diamond shines
breaking cool watery light into seven distinct lines
XVIII- The Moon
A rift to Chaos, crecent shaped
from which unspeakable horror scaped
cutting a gash across the card
to signify his very start
XIX- The Sun
A circle of white on a card that is black
human sillhouettes dance along the inner track
in the center of sun you can see if you try
a small holy book, with the holy word "I"
XX- Aeon
Altered states of conscousness dwell upon this card
a cultist sits in lower left with his reality jarred
supplicant to Lord Aeon, who the rest of card-space fills
laughing with a mushroom cap, snowblossom and pills
XXI- The Universe
After the Cosmic Play's rehearsal
we're left an image of role reversal
Chaotic, Order jusxtaposed stand
hand at throat and hand at hand
