The following specimens are tarots of the wonderful "cross" series, so called because a number of them are used in the unfoldment of the magic cube into the magic cross.

There are 384 of these tarots on record in the archives of the Magi. On page 274 we give the celebrated "Tarot Cross," from one of the Grand Temple charts. It is worthy of careful study, as it shows wonderful characteristics, which go to prove that the "Cross," as a magic emblem, belongs to the Magi.
