From He who established the Tarot

[Lemurian]

I don't know how authentic the Rider-Waite tarot deck is to the original images, however "The Devil" card seems to me most representative of addiction to the flesh. I observe that the chains about their necks are large enough to be able to be cast off at any time, therefore I conclude that the man and woman remain there voluntarily.

Great tarot deck (great arcanum) is also from Oswald Wirth (1860 – 1943), "Swiss occultist, artist and author". Elizabeth Haich (1897-1994; most famous for her book Initiation) uses this deck in Wisdom of the Tarot (1983). Pretty good description of the initiation path, although a bit different than Ra's. For example, she uses system body, mind, spirit, instead of mind, body, spirit. But nonetheless very good read.

Here's a sample of that deck:
