The Ancient Origins of the Marseille Tarot
The Marseille Tarot is the result of one or more attempts to copy imagery in Sumerian and Babylonian cylinder seals and other artefacts from that civilization. Theosophical Society founder Helena Blavatsky said as much in her correspondence -- although she didn't specify the Marseille deck, probably because, in nineteenth century Paris, she didn't think she needed to.
The seals themselves are mostly illustrations of myths.

Is this Minoan Artistic Marvel a Miniaturization of the Heavens?
The discovery of the Pylos Combat Agate in a Mycenaean shaft-grave tomb dating to 1500 BC may be one of the most significant archaeological and artistic finds in decades, perhaps in centuries. The level of artistic sophistication and detail are stunning -- the more so because the piece itself is so small and the level of detail is so incredibly high. Some details are only a half a millimeter in size. But is there an extra dimension to this immaculate artistry that would put it on a whole new celestial scale?
