Title: The Wheel of Fortune
Inspiration for The Wheel of Fortune • by Graphic Artist Barbara Damoli
This art graphic, like some others, was inspired by the legend of the Knights Templars and the Tarot Cards.
The Tarots are mostly associated with fortune telling, but there is an ancient and much more fascinating site to them. One of the legends or theories, is that they were created by The Knights Templars.
The Knights Templars were a Christian military order, as well as a secret society whose true purpose remains uncertain debated to this day.
One of the miths/legends around the order, tells that, when the Knights arrived to The Holy Land, they discovered secret parts of Christianity’s history/origines, which they could not reveal, in their time.
Therefore they created the Tarot Cards, in which they communicated their secret knowledge, in the symbols, which we can still see on the cards today.
One of the Tarot cards is The Wheel of Fortune. This card which symbolizes life’s cycles, as well as divine intervention, events beyond our control. This card brings news of very positiv beginnings.
That is also what the graphic speaks of: new happy beginnings in life.

“Tarot is a practice rich with history and cultural knowledge. It is a science of the mind”. Benebell Wen
The Wheel of Fortune Quote:
“Tarot helps us look within ourselves to understand our emotions, the reasoning behind our words and conduct, and the source of our conflicts”. Benebell Wen

One of the Tarot cards is called “Seven of Cups”, which speaks of dream, choices and balance between them. That was the thought behing this graphic.
Since there are several references to the Tarot, in this page, it seemed appropriate to enclude a link to a page, which provides the magic key to the origine of this fascinating mistery. The page encludes pictures of the first cards ever designed.
