The Tarot de Marseille reveals many mysteries and secrets, just like the oracle. These 2 concepts should not be confused: mysteries and secrets. A secret is deliberately hidden information or knowledge. That is to say, a secret is constructed and can be transmitted. The trade secret of a safe, of a technology, of a password are things that can be cracked, that someone knows and that can be communicated. While inaccessible knowledge is a mystery, it is not intended to be discovered. Mystery is thus defined by what is inaccessible to human reason, what which is of the order of the supernatural, which is obscure, hidden, unknown, incomprehensible, or linked to inexplicable events. We will talk about the mysteries of the creation of the universe.
This share of mysteries animates curiosity and understanding through the ages. You will have recognized through this arcana of mysteries the popess of the Tarot of Marseilles and her intriguing veil. What is she hiding? Who is she ? why a popess? Who is this key man? what does he come to offer her? Is it an allegory? Is a secret buried? Is he telling her a secret? I let you search through this mystery, but also the other parts of the game to understand. One secret hides another, all of this remains mysterious.
