Hugh Colmer is a Non-guru guru as he discovered his own path after experiencing many other paths. He has been particularly influenced by the research of Laurence Gardner’s Genesis of the Grail Kings and Realm of the Ring Lords which are based almost entirely upon the text of Nicholas De Vere’s, “The Dragon Legacy”, Jiddu Krishnamurti.’s transcendent small book, “The First and Last Freedom” confirmed his belief that Self-knowledge is the beginning of wisdom. As he became free from distorted beliefs he can confidently say he has Dragon Blood which gives the power to see clearly. Hugh has spent two decades delving into history, mythology, metaphysics, and religion. The 22 Major Arcana he has illustrated can create an entirely new understanding of our evolution and why you are what you are.

 

During Hugh’s examination of myth and religion, he realized that the Red Cross and the Circle symbolized the “Cup of the Blood”,. the Holy Grail. the ultimate, feminine symbol. The Crosscircle Group has published, “The Galactic Superwave Tarot”, “It’s a Pagan World”, “ Keys to the Science of the Soul”, “Dragon Lore Decoded”, The Ultimate Multiverse Tarot and “The Gods were Dinosaurs”. Hugh is a conditioned mind’s biggest nightmare. His cynicism toward so called spiritual teachings is backed by wisdom; his critique by pure-knowledge; and he knows there is no such thing as truth. If there is an attachment to any idea; even if that “idea” is Astrology, the Tarot, Buddhism, Krishna, or God, Hugh is sure to throw a spoke in the wheel. He escaped the God trap when he realized that God was created out of fear.

 

Surprisingly, he learnt to accept and love himself when he stopped trying to hide, from his inner reality. Now he can share those negative parts of himself which he discovered and accepted, after he recognized them. His new perspectives really rocked his boat and shook the very foundation of his belief system (see The Tower). He sees this is an essential step in any transformational process. Creating the imagery for this tarot has helped him to know the gods and goddesses so well that during his transformation these archetypes passed through him. The first signs of enlightenment happened when he gave up the search and dedicated himself to decoding the myths that hold the secrets of human evolution. The Ultimate Multiverse Tarot is created to call forth the forces that ruled thousands of years ago before the Annunaki gods created the Matrix.

 

At present, Hugh is Partner/Director of The Crosscircle Group which holds seminars on art and myth based on his books, When asked what it is he loves about art and the Tarot, Hugh replies, “It reflects the cosmos and our place in it and allows me to express myself in a wide range of mixed media. Borrowed imagery from archaic icons from ancient manuscripts, classical, religious and & mythical art has become the focus of his compositions. In discussing his work, Hugh says; “all my art is in some way about other art, whether impressionistic, realistic or abstract. Hugh’s impressionistic abstractions are deeply personal statements that seek to provide a transcendental experience; he describes his work as a simple expression of complex thought. He was drawn to remove these divine icons from their conventional context and place them in ever expanding realms of abstraction, bringing humanity and the cosmos into a closer relationship. Hugh now lives with his wife, Carol, in the Northern Catskills at their Windham Retreat Center which focuses on the Arts of the Sacred.
