An article about Joseph Smith and Ceremonial magic from Conchisle.com:
"Both of Joe Smith's parents instilled occult beliefs in him. In an 1829 letter to his nephew "Hiram," Joe Smith Sr.'s brother Jesse Smith condemned his brother's involvement in the occult and his using a divining rod (Dan Vogel, ed., Early Mormon Documents, SLC, Signature Books, 1996, 1:553). That same year Joe Smith pressed Oliver Cowdery into service as a scribe for recording Smith's "translation" of the Book of Mormon, Cowdery having introduced himself to Smith as a divining "rodsman." Official RLDS historian Richard P. Howard admitted that Joe Smith had commended Oliver Cowdery's use of a divining rod in seeking buried treasure (Richard P. Howard, Restoration Scriptures: A Study of Their Textual Development, Independence, Mo., 1969, pp. 211-14)." Read more from http://www.conchisle.com/magic.htm

When will the cards be available for purchase?
I plan on having a grand trumps collector's edition ready for purchase by Summer of 2019. The grand trumps deck will be larger than a traditional deck. It will be printed in a higher quality format and contain the 22 major arcana and a few bonus cards. Archives
