The Suits are varied between international formats, originally in Mamluk Egypt, they were Polo Sticks, Chalices, Schimitars, and Coins. in Italy and Spain, they became Bastoni, Coppe, Spade, and Denari. In France and England, they were the familiar Clubs, Hearts, Spades, and Diamonds. The Ranks are the integers, Ace through Ten, or the Court title such as King, Queen, Jack, or Horsemen.

Since at least the 14th century, the four suits have been correlated to the four elements of classical philosophy. Fire, Water, Air, and Earth made up the four elements of the world, the cardinal directions, the elements of the zodiac, and went on to influence the concept of bodily humors. Aristotle was the first philosopher to describe the astral 5th element of "æther".

By matching Numen , new gameplay possibilities can open up. If you're playing Scopa, you can use Numen to capture multiple cards on the table. In Rummy, make melds based on Numen. You can learn more about Numen based games in our How To section. New games will be continously published via our website, and we'll be releasing game manual zines to release new unique games spanning additional genres– from TCG battlers to tabletop RPGs!

The Numen are based on a Roman religious concept of the same name: they represent the divine presence of the gods animating our actions and tools. They correlate to the iconography of the Diis Consente, the "Olympians" of the Latins, while the Supernal Crown references the in-coming Abrahamic tradition, which deeply influenced before ultimately usurping the polytheist tradition. They can be the days of the week or the alchemical base metals too.

Commissioned in 1425, the first hand-painted trionfi cards were designed for a Renaissance-era Neo-platonic education. Having recently recovered lost texts from antiquity, noblemen across the Italian penninsula commissioned astrologers and artists to create lavish "trionfi" cards: illustrating medieval social ranks, the triumphal aspects of the ancient Roman military parades, the virtues as described by Thomas Aquinas, and both astronomical & apocalyptic phenomena–the trump cards are still used for games played in Europe today!

French Freemasons in 18th century Paris started describing the tarot trumps as "Major Arcana" believing that their imagery had to have come from Ancient Egypt–they continued a tradition of playing cards used by fortune-tellers to describe the emergent observations of the universe from our planet. Correlating to the classical and newly discovered planets, zodiac signs–as well as the numerological and cosmology of Jewish mystical Kabbalah, a form of ritualized gameplay developed, now called "Cartomancy." Its various methodologies were distributed by secret initiation societies, such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Inspired by the "Tobin's Spirit Guide" and "Pokédex" from popular culture, these cards are intentionally commodified in the guise of consumer games, stealthily teaching players the history of western religion's development from oral tradition, to epic poetry and mystery cults. Play Go-Fish just by describing the artwork on the cards with your friends and family!

Using the associations of the Enlightenment's secret societies, Cicero's concept of Loci, and the Masonic concept of "memory palaces" the motifs chosen to be represented in LOGOS DIVINÆ are intended to teach esoteric practitioners the cultural context from which Christianity emerged; not as the orthodox which emerged at the end of Antiquity, but as a Levantine movement of radical theological liberation.
