The bifrost Tarot was designed according to occult tradition, coming together as the fruit of a long series of alchemical works. Incorporating an eclectic array of ideologies that reflect mankind's current state of spiritual affairs, bifrost is a microcosmic reflection of man's universe.
This deck is based largely on the Book of Thoth. In keeping with occult history, Golden Dawn and Rider-Waite influences are also apparent. New ideas based on some of Crowley's most distinguished admirers have been added, including new trumps introduced by Dr. Timothy Leary, and a practical system of organizing people devised by Dr. Anton LaVey. The bifrost Tarot is an attempt to roll all spiritual history and matters into one. The cards are intended to be used for magic, prayer, occult studies, divination, and all other types of rituals involving mind-expansion.
The first 13 copies of this deck were hand-made by the artist. The remaining decks in this limited edition of 72 were printed with thin borders an regular playing card stock. The original hand-made decks (only 13 copies made) are thick and glossy, and the cards are borderless. The artist includes title and signature cards, but this deck comes with no lwb and no box.
A Word from Jeremy:
The bifrost Tarot was painted during January through December 2006. This project was the natural progression of long-term spiritual training. Upon completion of a certain major occult ritual, it is traditional to design (or at least copy) a Tarot deck.
bifrost was strongly influenced by occult figures who followed in Aleister Crowley’s path, with a particular emphasis on the time period of the 1960s. The ’60s could be considered the peak of the apocalyptic age. Not to be seen as the proverbial “end of the world” scenario in which everybody dies in some kind of nuclear holocaust, the Apocalypse is more of a transitional process in which one way of life comes to an end and another is born. The axis of the Apocalypse transpired during the ’60s.
One of the cult groups that flourished during the ’60s was known as The Process. At the core of Processean theology were 4 prime diametrically opposed deities. The 4 deities were not thought of so much as gods as they were psychological archetypes. Members were assigned personality types composed of a combination of the 2 main deities with whom they personally identified. bifrost works in much the same manner as this, a somewhat scientific method of spirituality.
There are a few things about the bifrost that may make it seem controversial, but most of this is fairly easy to explain:
First I will address the nude court cards. The court cards are based on the Thoth system. However, the Prince-Queen pairs also work with another system of classifying personality types known as the LaVey Personality Synthesizer. Since the LPS uses body shape as a means of identifying one’s general type of personality, it is important to show the dimensions of the bodies as clearly as possible. Rendering the courts nude also avoids any kind of fashion statements. Flagrant nudity is reminiscent of the 1960s, the apocalyptic climax that Crowley had spent his life setting the table for. bifrost is particularly influenced by the occultists and cult activity that took place during this period. I was not concerned so much with addressing the unfortunate shame that modern man feels for his physical form. To me, there’s no better way to symbolize the Tarot’s goal of unlocking the mysteries of the Arcana than to shameles
