Interested from a younger age by the mystical world & other unexplained phenomena, my first encounter with esoteric knowledge began with books by Krishnamurti & Yogananda, later with “Seth” by Jane Roberts, Alice Bailey & authors of the same ilk.

Further along, I learnt a system of Numerology based on the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot of Marseilles, which naturally made me explore the latter to appreciate its purpose thoroughly.

Although to this day, we still the Tarot’s true origins, different opinions suggest it to be either Egyptian, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Medieval or Italian. Philip Camoin, a descendent of the House of Nicolas Conver's famous 1760 Tarot of Marseilles, restored it after years of collaborative historical research with Alejandro Jodorowsky & said the following: "The historical and geographical origins of the Tarot are complex. Historians generally agree that it surfaced in 14th century Italy. But Alejandro Jodorowsky & I discovered that the Tarot of Marseille emerged in the first century and not in the 13th or 14th century".
(For info, my preferred Tarot deck is the Camoin & Jodorowsky “Tarot de Marseille” deck).

The Tarot is a coherent, wise and compassionate pictorial guide, explaining an issue at hand. It is known for its potential to read the future, but its first & foremost task is to awaken the conscious observer within, to become an active player in one's own reality.

It tells the story of one's evolution when faced with different challenges in life to reach the process of individuation, a concept dear to Carl Jung. In my humble opinion, the Tarot resonates with the current theories of Quantum Mechanics, where latter tells us about the importance & implication of the observer in the movement of particles and thus of a situation.

The Sofaïa Spiritual game is also inspired by Socrate's Maïeutics, a system of thought that relies on an inner revelation of the answers we seek.
With its multiple questions, Sofaïa wishes you an interesting game of self-discovery.

With much love & gratitude,
