Le Tarot des Bohémiens

Remember, MASTER, that illustrious man killed by the most cowardly of conspiracies; remember Hiram, whose resurrection you await with the faith promised by the Branch of Acacia! (Hiram-Hermes-Mariah).

Remember, ROSICRUCIAN, that mysterious word you have sought for so long, but whose meaning still escapes you!

Remember, KADOSH, the magnificent symbol that shone in the center of the luminous triangle when the true meaning of the letter G was revealed to you!

HIRAM — INRI — IOD-HE-VAU-HE! indicate the same mystery under different aspects.

Whoever has understood one of these words possesses the key that opens the tomb of Hiram, symbol of the synthetic science of the ancients. He can open this tomb and seize without fear the heart of the revered Master, the symbol of esoteric teaching.

The entire Tarot is built upon this word arranged as a wheel: ROTA.
