THE SECRET BEHIND THE "SECRET" Just in time for the 'great changes' prophesized by the Mayan Calendar and the Tarot, Bryan Ivan Colmer, artist, philosopher and author, has completed The Galactic Cross Tarot, his "opus magnum," on the subject. The Tarot belongs to the same iconographic tradition as Egyptian hieroglyphics and is a Perfect Language of Images. Punctuated with 78 stunning images replete with ancient symbolism The Galactic Cross Tarot delves into the mystery of a greater unseen "Power," that not only exists, but controls the everything of who and what we are.

Like the Da Vinci Code, the Galactic Cross Tarot reveals secrets that the Roman Catholic Church has covered up for nearly two thousand years, according to the author. Colmer also reminds us that popular culture still carries a subconscious fear of the Tarot because of years of persecution and events like the Inquisition that occurred as a way to suppress any wisdom shared that took power from the church. He also suggests that it is only now, as 2012 rapidly approaches, that the full import of the Tarot's ancient universal symbols can be properly understood.
