What it is.

LXXXI - The Quareia Magician's Deck is a unique magical tool for 21st century magicians. LXXXI is a collaboration between magical artists Stuart Littlejohn and Cassandra Beanland, and magical adept Josephine McCarthy. All of the paintings are original works of art in oil, acrylic, or water colour, and are the result of three years painting and collaboration.

The deck has 81 cards, a mystical number that relates to completion, and it is divided in to four realms: the Divine Realm (red title background), the Inner realm (blue title background), the physical world (green title background) and the realm of death and the underworld (black title background). The further away from humanity a being or place is, the less human it becomes. This is reflected in the deck, and can teach a magician a great deal about how beings function and why.

LXXXI - The Quareia Magician's Deck  is not based upon any tarot system, but rather it draws upon the mythic, mystical and magical powers that underpin the magical systems that tarot eventually developed out of. It is based upon real inner realms, real inner contacts, beings and forces that the practitioner of magic is very likely to involve themselves with. 

Because of this approach, the deck works as a contacted deck, i.e. used magically the images can act as gateways to inner realms, inner beings and magical patterns. It can be used for magical or mundane divination, or as a direct connection to inner contacts, as gateways for meditation, magical visionary work , soul exploration, or contacted ritual work. To ensure that the images do not become entangled in magical misconceptions, we have moved away from the relatively modern use of set ‘names’ for the beings in the images, and instead we have reverted to a very ancient way of presenting inner beings: wename them according to what they do. That way, there is no ambiguity about what a being actually is. 

In order to magically work with LXXXI you have to hold physical cards in your hands. Unfortunately therefore it was impossible to make them available for free. In line with Quareia’s ethos, however, we made them accessible at the lowest possible point of cost.

For Quareia Initiate and Adept students who are being mentored, the LXXXI deck is mandatory for study. In order to ensure no one is excluded from study because of lack of income, Quareia Publishing who publish the deck have 25% of the stock held back from sale - these decks are available for free to any mentored student who cannot afford to purchase the deck.

The LXXXI Quareia deck book is now also available on all Amazon outlets for purchase
