The Grail Tarot brings together two of the most enduring and enigmatic mysteries of the Middle Ages: those of the Holy Grail and the Knights Templar. The deck re-tells the Grail legend and relates the quest for the sacred Christian relic to our desire to understand the puzzle of our own lives. Characters drawn from over 2000 years of Grail history take their place in the Major Arcana, and the suits are represented by the four Grail Hallows: stone, sword, lance and vessel. In creating this tarot, John Matthews has captured the essence of the Grail as a universal and potent symbol for the search for truth, and enhanced it with Giovanni Caselli's wonderfully intricate illustrations. Use the symbolism and stories, described in detail in the guidebook, to connect with your own spiritual quest.
