Tarot Maconnique

Masonic tarot deck from 1849 by Jean Bouchard. More than fifty years before the Rider-Waite and Aleister Crowley decks. Tarot and Freemasonry both came into existence in the late 14th century around the same area of the world. Everything is so blatantly there. Slowly peeling the infinite onion...
