Product Information

Between Geburah (Severity) and Binah (Understanding) the Great Mother on the Tree of Life, runs the Path of Cheth. This is the highest and most profound Path on the Pillar of Severity and introduces the Personality to the Supreme Spiritual Self that wraps our Soul in the Golden Armor of Protection so that the Golden Psyche can be carried through the unmanifested Universe, and/or Dark Matter and Dark Energy, without losing a Photon. The Chariot is the enclosure that holds the Soul in a state of peace, as it moves through all planes. In his BOOK OF TOKENS, Dr. Paul Foster Cases stated this about the Chariot: ST:That you dust yourself off and try again, every single time you feel you have ‘failed’ in any way. I demand creative courage. I will keep pushing you to move past any self-limiting beliefs and comfort zones. ( 3 of Wands) He continues: "I remember him telling me that my art and designs were truly incredible. He described them as ‘Potent Visual Alchemy’. Strangely this didn’t fill me with any great satisfaction or sense of triumph. Instead, it simply felt as if time had caught up with itself. This event – his words – happened in 1973 and it had taken twenty years for the reality to catch up: time is simply a mechanism to stop everything happening at once. In a sense, no matter what the world threw my way to counter it, this meeting had already happened." This moment, as it was likely to, marked a turning point in little De Angelis’ life; and one that he was to revisit two decades later when this dream came true, and in 1993 the pair found themselves together again in the designer’s studio. "Much like the time before, we sit with pens and sheets of paper," says De Angelis. "Only now we speak of philosophy, typography, technology and shamanic visions. We drink cups of coffee and Bowie has traded in the full-strength Marlboros for the odd puff of a light version."

For me, Bowie’s music literally ignited an energy in the world that had never before been experienced. With him, it was a complete immersion experience – the art and the sounds united in a transcendental wave through our minds and bodies. He has been fascinated and actively involved in the fields of consciousness, magic and physical movement and energy practices for more than 35 years. In his early life he spent over a decade training with Shamans and Energy Masters from both East and West, ultimately developing his own methods of teaching and sharing ideas to enhance the human experience. This book emits the same vibrant energy as the cards. Some books can make it hard to connect your question to the stated meaning of the card. That’s not the case here. If you asked a question and you drew a card and found yourself unsure on how to proceed, this book will help you. That’s not always the case with other books; with this book you have an ally. Since the Sun of Tiphareth is in the sign of Aries, which is the sign of This Path, indicates that THE EMPEROR exercises some control over the solar forces of the Higher Self. It is appropriate to follow one's heart, and true calling, but it is immature to run away from one's obligations.

Davide is an award-winning Designer, Art Director and Visionary Artist. He is also a Spiritual Teacher, Energy Master, and Explorer of Human Potential. In his personal life he is a skilled percussionist, master didgeridoo player, jump rope fanatic and ultra-runner. I love the light embryos in the Ace of Swords below! I also love how The Chariot is pulled by two comodo dragons and how the King of Wands is wearing a crown of thorns like another well-known visionary whose resurrection we recently celebrated. I adore the write-up in the Starman Tarot guide book for The Chariot which happens to be my Tarot Year Card in 2019 – Very insightful! The space surfer, haloed Prince of Cups makes a reference to Hamlet and ‘To be or not to be’ and the 6 of Cups is super easy to read as sentimentality and reaching for the past. And the Ace of Wands is just stunning. It’s so beautiful it hurts. I could just look stare at it for ages. This is how I feel the Ace of Wands energy. I have never looked at another Ace of Wands Tarot card and been able to say that before.

As The Path of Aleph, THE FOOL connects Kether (Crown) with Chokmah (Wisdom). To the Qabalist, Kether is known as the Source of All, and Chokmah is known as Father God. The Path of Aleph, (The Fool) meaning OX, is about the "flowing of Life Force and creative power", showing that the SPIRIT had a beginning aim to be that of Earth and/or Sensual Being. Sometimes down is up! The ox head is also shown in the Starman Sacred Clown card, as a white light shape above the Sacred Clowns head gear.Ultimately for me it is about 'revelation'; to reveal something that makes people go 'oh wow, that’s a new way of seeing this'. For me beauty is an inherent quality of our reality; it is this quality that helps us to travel through life, to feel connected to something vaster than our own small story. Once Bowie chose someone to work with he trusted them and left them to weave their particular magic into a project. He was very open and responsive to different ideas and always up for challenging what was expected." What else influences your work? Bowie looked at the young boy’s art and said to him: "I can see clearly you are an artist. Can we draw something together?" De Angelis explains: "Bowie and I are now sitting together in an off-world realm, far from the illusion of Soho. We are drawing together. We find a conclusion in the drawing and I hear myself asking Bowie if I can one day create something for his record sleeves."
