Éliphas Lévi’s Personal Tarot Restored ~ Marco Benedetti Brings It Back to Life!

In this walkthrough, we explore the extraordinary Éliphas Lévi Tarot, a deck restored by Marco Benedetti from two of Lévi’s original books. Éliphas Lévi (1810–1875), born Alphonse Louis Constant, was a French occultist, writer, and ceremonial magician whose influence shaped the foundations of modern Western esotericism. He wove together mysticism, Kabbalah, alchemy, and Christian symbolism into a unified philosophy that inspired the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Thelema, and modern tarot interpretation. This restoration features 100 cards accompanied by Lévi’s own notes and reflections, offering a rare glimpse into how he viewed the tarot — not as a mere tool for fortune-telling, but as a sacred key to universal wisdom. Lévi wrote of a mysterious engraved key inscribed with the words TARO, ROTA, TORA, ATOR, and ORAT, a symbolic cipher he believed revealed the interconnectedness of divine law, creation, nature, and prayer: • TARO – the tarot itself, symbol of universal knowledge • ROTA – the wheel, life’s eternal cycle • TORA – divine law and revelation • ATOR – the goddess of nature and love • ORAT – prayer, spiritual invocation For Lévi, the tarot was both the book and the key to understanding the mysteries of creation — a portable map of the cosmos encoded in sacred language and symbol. Join me as we look through Marco Benedetti’s stunning restoration and step into Lévi’s magical world, where philosophy, mysticism, and art converge in one timeless deck.
