The record
This project is dedicated to the seekers of truth that desire to know themselves through the eternal wisdom of the ages. Allen Chester, Artist Templar Tarot: The Journey takes off where the Templar Tarot left off. Quite literally the added (79th) card from the Templar Tarot becomes the first card in Templar Tarot: The Journey. The set includes the 79 cards from the original deck, an additional 21 cards (forming a second Major Arcana), and a 175 page companion book. In his introduction, Etienne Thevou talks about the song played by the figure in the Magic Flute the 79th card of the original deck, the first card of the new Major Arcana. Eight years after the publication of the original deck, it is now time for this new song to be played. In this new deck, the story of the Tarot unfolds alongside the story of the Templars. Where the story of the original Templar Tarot was a speculative story of the Templar knights, the new arcana tells the story from the point of historical reference. In his artists statement, Chester notes that he paints primarily from a trance state, with music playing in the background. There were no conceptual drawing, no preconceived color scheme
