The Sealed Path Tarot – A Five-Element Journey Through Spirit
About this deck
If you are looking for a deck that tells a deep story, The Sealed Path Tarot is a perfect choice. This deck feels like a slow journey where you discover hidden secrets in every image. The cards are beautiful and full of texture. The artist, David Bergen, used his own paintings, collages, and photos to create them. He did not use AI, so the art feels very human and real. When you use these cards, you are not just reading symbols; you are looking into a mirror for your soul.
Symbolism and Themes
The most unique thing about this deck is that it uses five elements instead of the usual four. Most tarot decks have four suits, but here you will find a fifth one called Orbs. This suit represents Spirit or Ether. It acts like a bridge between the physical world and the divine. Because of this extra suit, the deck has 97 cards in total.
To help you understand the energy, each suit has its own color and a specific gemstone. For example, Wands (Fire) connect to Amber, and the new Orbs (Spirit) connect to Labradorite. Even the Major Arcana cards have fresh names, like The Portal instead of the Fool, which gives you a new way to look at the journey of life.
The Creators
David Bergen is the creator of this deck. He is an artist who believes tarot is a great tool for making choices and thinking about your life. He loves old myths and traditions. By mixing painting and photography, he created digital art that feels ancient and modern at the same time. He designed the cards so you can explore them many times and always find something new.
Practical Use
You will find this deck very useful if you like astrology or working with the elements. It comes with a 132-page book that explains everything in a simple way. It includes meanings for reversed cards and eight special card layouts you can try. A very interesting part of this deck is the 25 Court cards. They have so much personality that you can even use them alone as an oracle to understand the people or energies around you.
Tip: To understand how the elements work together, try a five-card spread. Use one card for Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Spirit. See which element is the strongest, then pull one more card from the Orbs suit to see how Spirit is guiding you.
