I'm not sure what forum this should be in, apologies if it needs to be moved....
So we have a Kabbalistic Tarot with just the paths and spheres of the Kaballa.
Has anyone done anything similar with music? Or harmonics in general? The closest thing I can think of might be the Pythagorean Tarot or the Sacred Geometry Oracle or Vibrational medicine cards. But I'm curious if a tarot deck has been done based on the harmonic and musical beliefs regarding magic during the renaissance. Music of the spheres, so to speak, or possibly related to the Orphean hymns.
Mind you I don't know much about any of this stuff, but I do know that it was fairly significant in magical and/ or hermetic philosophy of the Renaissance. I would be intrigued to see a deck made based on this.
If it doesn't exist, any takers? :) ;)

I have beeen wondering about similar things to this- but no I'm not about to design one sorry. This is a question I wonder what answers we'd get if brought to the attention of the Historical Research/ing personas/minds here in ATF....yes, I guess it did have to go under talking tarot.....?
Does anyone have anymore info?
I did notice that it seems to work the other way around....I put "tarot" into ebay (.com.au as I'm hanging down under....here in OZ) and I was surprised that a lot of musicians had used the tarot to influence their suites of music and albums....so anyone know anything more on this?
Interested,

I know Enigma on their Voyeur album had at least one tarot based song, "Page of Cups."
If you do a search on amazon, there are some albums that have music based on the Tarot...
A while back I downloaded a song from someone's website, I'll have to see if I still have it on my computer or not. It was about Lady Frieda Harris as she designed the Thoth tarot, and the thoughts that may have gone through her mind as she was designing the deck. I believe it was titled "78 degrees" but I'm not sure...
A couple of heavy metal groups have Acane, or Arcana in their group name, but that's not neccessarily a direct reference to tarot. And I wasn't that impressed with the samples on Amazon, either, not my cup of tea.
I am waiting for the book "Tarot Songs" in the mail right now, as well.
