The
Well-Worn Path is not a Tarot deck. It is a unique divination system
designed specifically for the needs of modern Pagans, Witches, and
Wiccans who seek something more rooted in Nature based spirituality. The
idea for this deck arose from a recognized need for a system that speaks
to the Pagan culture of our European ancestors.
The
title "Well-Worn Path" was chosen to reflect the idea of the long ancient
spiritual path to modern times. The image is one of a path trodden with the
footsteps of those who have walked in these ways since perhaps the beginning of
time. Here our ancestors left to us a trail to the ways we now seek to follow as
we extend the path to our own new vistas.
Unlike
our deck, the Tarot originated from ancient Hebrew mysticism, ceremonial magical
systems of the Renaissance period, and other influences. As a community we have
been presented with Tarot decks modified to reflect our imagery in order to
appeal to us as Pagans, Witches, and Wiccans. But what has been missing up until
now is a unique divination deck and system that is based upon authentic Pagan
roots, as opposed to the borrowed symbolism and structure of other
systems.
The
Well-Worn Path deck is designed to present and reveal the symbolism, meaning,
and teachings that are the far-reaching roots of modern Paganism and the
Craft.
The
images in this deck depict the spiritual and religious concepts that were the
foundations of European Paganism as once known to our ancestors.
In this
deck we have preserved and presented the important, vital, and viable traditions
and beliefs that we all continue to honor into modern days. Here we have
captured the knowledge and wisdom of ancient times for contemporary application.
It is our honor to be able to share and pass this on to you here in the
Well-Worn Path deck.
The
design of each card has been carefully thought out and includes important and
valuable imagery. The descriptions provide the reader with the tools and keys to
access the hidden Mysteries. The foundational teachings revealed in the cards
are the cobblestones that have been placed to lead you down the Well-Worn Path.
Now you will be able to use these relatable images for divination, ritual,
personal alignment, and teaching. It is our hope one day you will extend the
path for those who walk behind you. |
