Hello everyone, welcome to our Tarot Temple class. Through this lesson, we reach the end of a road and we will see where it leads us.

There are secrets here, just like it has always been, but the essence of the real secret is that even if you stand in it, there is nothing to see. Let us tell you the first secret of this course. There is no temple in the tarot card. Look at the deck. Find those cards that hint at the temple but are not displayed. See if you can see from these cards what the temple looks like, the outside or the inside. How come the words "There is a temple here" on these cards? What is a temple? How can you tell? Besides vision, what other consciousness can recognize a temple? In form, the temple is a building dedicated to the gods.

"Temple" is a common word, including terms such as "church", "synchron", "mosque" and "grove". In temples, a sanctuary can usually be found where the gods formally live; a priest post, including residence and inner chamber, leaves space specifically for the priest's office; a sacred tool, with places for storage and public display; an altar that can be any form of worship table or platform; and a sacred image or physical sign of some divine existence. The temple will have a formal entrance and a space for place or gathering. The temple can be a permanent dedicated building or a temporary religious place, established and demolished when needed, and nonetheless its arrangement is formal. Even such a temporary or periodic temple will have its presidency priests, altars, icons and holy instruments, entrances and collections.

These identification marks appear in temples anywhere, in any social environment, from tribal to cosmopolitan, from primitive to highly civilized. As long as humans recognize the world and their own divinity, they can be found.

Temples are everywhere and always. But a temple is a secret, and contains a secret. If it is not, it is not a temple. The mystery it contains is easier to describe and understand than its own secrets. The mystery of a temple lies in the existence of the gods on which it lives. Entering a temple is facing this mysterious thing. Participating in the practice of the temple is to immerse yourself in mystery. If you immerse yourself deep enough, you may become mysterious. Almost everyone has had all or part of this experience and will recognize the description of it. But the secret of the temple will not succumb to such a simple and easy-to-understand description.
