I've been collecting the works of William T. Horton(1864-1919), an almost forgotten illustrator/mystic. His works were under the heavy influence of Beardsley, but without latter's sophisticaled decadence. Once he was initiated into the Order of the Golden Dawn only to find its system disillusioning. Some might call him a faillure. I don't agree.
So I tentatively selected his drawings and put them into the tarot scheme, numbers and titles. And honestly I'm sort of shocked to find they become so really a "tarot".
Well, Horotn was a friend of Pamela Colman Smith and W.B. Yeats. Perhaps he actually might have conceived a tarot plan or two. What do you think?

These I call "William T. Horton Esoteric Tarot" and now am writing some explanatory notes.
