A Poetical, Historical, and Mystical Adventure
by Richard Harris
A guidebook for following the imaginitive journey with The Templar Tarot cards
In an age of uncertainty, disillusionment, and spiritual searching, the legend of the Knights Templar offers a potent archetypal mirror. The Templar path—marked by secrecy, sacrifice, sacred duty, and the quest for a hidden truth—parallels the inner journey symbolized in the Tarot. A Templar Tarot deck reawakens the mythic imagination, inviting us to see ourselves as modern initiates standing at the threshold of transformation. These cards do not merely reflect medieval imagery—they embody timeless archetypes: the Initiate, the Pilgrim, the Crusader, the Guardian, and the Healer. In combining the esoteric wisdom of the Tarot with the enduring mystery of the Templars, we are offered a sacred map for today’s soul-journeyers—those who seek meaning not through dogma, but through inner revelation and service to the greater light.
In my opinion, works of art, music and literature should tend to the development of the soul. It is my intention here, to assist you in the tending of your soul through these humble offerings..
I have enjoyed many professions in my life: minister, theologian, electrician, contractor, psychotherapist, and more. It has been on the journey through life that I discovered the one enduring value which is most important - it is that of tending to your own soul. In that vein, I offer my published works as tools to aid in that endeavor.
