The Colour Scales with Heather Jones

What are the Colour Scales that are used to illustrate Tarot decks? In fact, what are colours? If you look behind the palette chosen by the creator of a tarot deck, is there something there — something more remarkable even than beauty? Maybe a little ... Magick? In episode 24 of TABI's Tarot World, your hosts Victoria and Gwen talk to Heather Jones — professional artist and graphic designer, Qabalist, and founder of esoteric publisher Numinous Press — about how colour magnifies and amplifies the very heart of Tarot. Heather starts us off using the colour wheel to explain how and why The Order of the Golden Dawn established the Colour Scales in the first place. Then we dive even deeper, asking how colours are created — not just what glorious names for colours like 'Reddish Grey Inclined to Mauve' and 'Emerald Flecked Gold' really mean, but what happens in our eyes when certain colours meet out there in the world. We talk Golden Dawn ritual, mapping colours to the Tree of Life, and we look at some specific examples of how Lady Frieda Harris applied the Colour Scales to the Thoth Tarot. Wondering which is the best deck available today for learning about and working with Colour Scales? We got you. It's all in here. And there are of course suggestions for books and decks if you'd like to find out more.

You can find Heather on Instagram, Facebook, Substack, and YouTube as @numinouspress. On her website, www.numinouspress.com, you'll find a wealth of materials for esoteric study, including the Great Workbook — Tarot journal, logbook, and activity book.
