Le Tarot des Bohémiens

The people have never failed the expectations of those who have had faith in them. Understanding nothing of the truths they possess, they are careful not to change anything at all and consider any slight attack on their deposit to be a sacrilege.

It is in this way that the Jews have transmitted to us, intact, all the letters that form the Sepher of Moses. But Moses did not solve the problem as masterfully as the Tibetans.

To give a people a book that they will worship respectfully and keep intact forever is good; but to give a people a book that allows them to live, at the same time, is even better.

The people charged with transmitting the occult teaching since the highest antiquity are the Bohemian people Referring to the Romani people..

THE BOHEMIANS

The Bohemians possess a bible; this bible makes them live, for it allows them to tell fortunes; this bible is a perpetual cause of distraction, for it allows them to gamble.

Yes, this deck of cards named Tarot, which the Bohemians possess, is the bible of bibles. It is the book of Thoth Hermes Trismegistus, it is the book of Adam, it is the book of the primitive Revelation of the ancient civilizations.

While the Freemason, an intelligent and virtuous man, has lost the tradition, and while the priest, an intelligent and virtuous man, has lost his esotericism, the Bohemian, an ignorant and vicious man, gives us the key that will allow us to explain all symbolisms without difficulty.

How can one not admire the wisdom of those initiates who used vice and made it produce more results, from the point of view of the good, than virtue?
