Symbolism is tremendously important because people can learn symbols easier than they can learn languages. Sigils are like a word in a language; they can be simple or complex, but they express meaning in just the same way, tracing our human understanding of concepts and communication back to the days of cave paintings or cuneiform. The best part is that they can be universal. A word of no language is a word in all languages.

The symbols used in this deck are based on hermetic and alchemical concepts.Over two years of research has gone in to making sure that each of the individual components are accurate; such as the alchemical process (or "magnum opus"), the four classical elements, the seven planets, the constellations of the Greek zodiac, the kabbalah, as well as the attributions of the Thoth tarot and the Waite tarot systems.

This deck can be considered a Thoth compatible deck since it follows the same order in terms of the Major Arcana, and all of correspondences match the Thoth system. This choice was made to ensure that the attributions are as close to accurate as possible, a task which turns out to be more difficult than it may seem at first, because many tarot decks deviate from standards, and the two primary decks of the modern day (Thoth and Waite) deviate slightly from each other.
