This book is for people who are looking for an alternative to more traditional forms of Tarot and Numerology. In this approach we look for archetypal sources for tarot symbolism among the elemental patterns of nature. These patterns are seen as a signature of nature that influences all of humanity and everything around us. When reduced to the most fundamental, elemental, abstract, archetypal essence, every manifest entity, and every manifest event, can be seen as expressions of these universal lines of force. As patterns of universal influence, these ideas are what humans end up illustrating on little pieces of paper as tarot symbols and icons. By illustrating a signature of nature across cards in a deck, The Numerical Tarot becomes a visual documentation of a vast spectrum of human experience.

Additionally, universal patterns of nature are also used in the organization of the deck itself. What results is an underlying structure that organizes everything into a grid matrix of cross-referencing ideas, where balance, symmetry, contrast and consistency reign supreme. The resulting system of ideas then leads to intended meanings for each card that are derived from an understanding of archetypal patterns in nature and how they connect through a theoretical path of etymology to our more mundane expressions of life. Like an axial system of archetypal crystallography, The Numerical Tarot deck becomes a tool for calculating universal influences.
