The traditional Tarot is what the ancients called a Mutus Liber, that is, a silent book, a book without words. Hence the importance of knowing the symbols that make it up. Ignorant of what the motifs refer to, which the discreet author of the Tarot has taken from the Tradition and the master cardmakers have copied and perpetuated, modern man considers these cards as a mere divinatory support. However, the Tarot conveys a traditional message. It is the same teaching handed down from age to age, unchanged in substance, but often adulterated in form through the ignorance of the copyists. This teaching, by its very nature, cannot be expressed in words because it does not speak to the discursive intelligence but directly to the soul.

The Bible and the secret tradition of Israel present us with incense as something sacred. In this book the author focuses on two themes: the sacred and incense as a means to access it. He holds the cabal that when Adam and Eve sinned in paradise, all of their senses were affected by the stain of sin, except one: the sense of smell. Probably the deep meaning of incense is based on this idea: there is still something pure in man from which he can reconnect with his superior soul, with the divine, with God.
